Well, I finally figured out how to get movies to play on the blog, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to show just the one I want. I suppose that's all part of the charm of this blog, cause the creator of it is an utter ignoramus when it concerns computers.
I suppose I should explain why such a random song has found its way here, so here's the story. Was watching TCM, the greatest TV channel cause it shows old movies, all day, everyday (Dorry and Steph and Nay will understand why I like it so much.) Anyways, Oliver! the musical comes on, and I haven't seen it since I was little, so watching it again now was just sooo...........words fail me! (People who love musicals will understand.)
I was moved by the plight of the orphans just wanting 'Food, glorious food', and Oliver wondering where love was, and the awesome Nancy loving Bill cause "He needed her", and paying the price by being killed by him. What a plonker!
I became patriotic once again, as Londoners sang 'Consider yourself, at home', and I actually cried when Oliver sang 'Who will buy this wonderful morning, I'm so high I swear I could fly, Who will wrap it up in a ribbon, and put it in a box for me'.
But the best song for me came as a surprise, it being 'Its a fine life.' It made me so happy, and the next day it kept running through my head. I even made up my own lyrics to it. Ben and Tim discovered this while I belted out, musical stylee 'If you don't mind having to put your shoes on, Its a FINE life', In a vain attempt at getting them ready for a walk.
Watch it, its on the right under 'Other sunny sights' and I'm sure it will brighten up your day!
P.S. Just watch the first one,not sure what the other clips are, and I cant friggin work out how to get rid of them.

Congratulations with your new blog, Laurie. It looks like it has the potential to ride the blog-wave better than a narcoleptic horse on caster wheels! :)
'You've got to pick-a-pocket or two' – just by watching your video I got the foregoing stanza sticked ... great musical!
When it comes to ignorance concerning computers, remember the wise words: It ain't about knowing it all, but to know who knows it all ;)
