You really can’t imagine what it’s like to experience dinosaurs walking around in a prehistoric setting, stretching their long necks over your head or roaring as they tear into their prey or protect their young. You really can’t imagine it unless you’ve seen Walking With Dinosaurs. …
It’s well known among my friends and ex-colleagues that I don’t like yawning in my presence. I’ve blogged about this before – some of the new staff at 680 News were told yawning was “banned” around me! That’s ridiculous. I only asked that people try to refrain!

Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and how they came to be huge pop stars in the 60’s and 70’s and even beyond. I read in the New York Post on the weekend that the real Frankie Valli was performing a sold out show to 10,o00 with Connie Francis. Not too shabby for an aging Joisey boiy.
