October has come and gone and once again it is time to open a new thread for the Gabfest.. During October we did finish the movie WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, complete with musical score, as planned. We launched it into distribution with its own World Premier. The Stars and most of the Supporting Cast were there appropriately dressed for their glitzy walk down the red carpet. Unfortunately co-stars EJ & ODEN and family were unable to attend as they are all currently on migration to Africa. Keith surprised us with some very interesting bird & wildlife reports direct from the Sahara Dessert and from his own equatorial Island in the Sun. His on-the-spot factual reports helped us to understand the dangers our osprey face once they complete their long hazardous journey. Our first music night was a smashing success that left everyone eager for the second.

Then we ended the month with a wonderfully thoughtful and caring discussion of the benefits or possible harm of the tracking of osprey and other birds. NOVEMBER will bring continued reports and DISCUSSIONS of our own “Special Three“, Tore, Bynack and Rothes who have arrived safely in Africa. We will be watching especially for news of Bynack who has been in an area that seems to be potentially dangerous. We will be watching also for updates of young Ozwold who was VERY reluctant to leave Bonnie Scotland, but is finally taking a stopover in Spain where Roy Dennis says he can safely winter. So, will Ozwold stay in Spain? or will he move south?, on his own unique time schedule? We will also be following the adventures and misadventures of other tagged osprey, including Einion who had us holding our breath while he made a huge circle over the Atlantic, his siblings from the Dyfi nest and others that may come to our attention. All this and much more is discussed on the Gabfest. We expect to have The Second Gabfest Music Night toward the end of the month. The theme is yet to be discussed & determined. This is the Freedom Forum, where fun, fact and fantasy combine to make a very unique thread. So come on in and chat a while with us. Our fire is bright and the latch is always open.

Good morning all.
B & B - You have now revealed it - you mentioned on gabfest that when you were in York you used to work with Rowntrees. Having viewed the advert you posted last night I am thinking were you one of them pandas in the advert.
HI KEITH - thanks for drawing my attention to the kit kat advert.-. years ago when i was on the road (rep) i called at the transport department at rowntrees in york .. i am sure i saw BRIGHT & BREEZY there .. i didn't know her then or what she looked like .. but after seeing the advert i am now sure i used to see her with a friend on rollerskates .-. it was the colour of the eyes that fooled me . now BRIGHT & BREEZY , own up it was you and a friend i saw wasn't it ??????????
Good Morning everyone.
Black jag just looked up the Grannie on the scooter advert again and it is still very funny. I cannot find the Mrs McPhee passing her driving test. I wasn't as keen on the last one with the butchers shop :)
Keith its great to have you back here and for you and Sunshine, all I will say is I am good at Rollerscating. Which Panda do you reckon I am? lol.
I think ALAN mentioned Einion had moved but then had returned from whence he came here is the link from Dyfi about his travels and some gorgeous pictures of where he is ~

A very old Shropshire Lad.
ChrisS thanks for posting the link and great to see where he is.
Just checking in while I have my Sunday morning breakfast.
Amongst the Coca Cola truck adverts (very nice!) I found this. Note the "paintings" part way in. What better way to start the Chrismas Season?

Oh well Keith has started something with his Coca Cola truck adverts. I have never seen the Coca Cola truck but my favourite is the Philappines. June I will go look at your contribution and wonder what you mean about "paintings" I will find out though :)

Sunshine and Keith you are both right lol.
I used to drink down Stonegate on a weekend a few!!! years agol The Star Inn was an old haunt :) At the end of the night I would not class myself and friend as cuddly Panda's.... definately the rollerskates had to be left behind lol.
Must go and get some food and get back to June.
