Steve Colman: The week's telly, 7-2 and Dolly Parton
Well the snow went - thank goodness for that.
But the truth is in the bad old days when things were resembeling The Ice Age in 1947 and 1963 things began round about now and went on until late March - Oh I hope not!
But we then had temperatures of -15c reported and then after we'd thought it had gone there was a night of freezing fog.
Oh Heaven help us.
There's been some good telly this week. Gordon Ramsay showing us the extremities of India that we never thought we'd experience.
And the North East of India was interesting with the tribes of Headhunters; it's the same in every country us North Easteners protecting our borders, but headhunting went a little too far, maybe...or perhaps we could resurrect it as a sport.
Or if we look at Celebrity Big Brother it could be a game they play on there. Forget the eviction - off with Sov's head.
See, I know you can see it working.
The Television Awards went to plan - no real surprises that Gavin and Stacey got their award.
Ant and Dec did the business and of course Cheryl made an entrance and Joe stole the show with his brilliant version of "Don't stop believing".
Told you it was a great week of telly.
I promise I won't gloat too much after last weekends result, but 7-2?
Chelsea were brill but who could have predicted that? Not me.
But I have to say that Wednesday nights three games were unbelievable in bringing 18 goals.
What the heck is happening? 7-2, 6-4, 4-2,2-0.
Hang on a minute is this a Tennis game I'm reporting on?
On the subject of which, we were looking in Colman's Diary during the week and remembering John McEnroe being thrown out of the Australian Open for swearing at the Judge and also a match being suspended in the same Tournament because a ball boy had an accident and wet himself.
It worries me that they needed 40 minutes to clear up after him. I mean - for goodness sake - what on Earth had he been drinking that would result in them needing 40 minutes to clear that up!
I hope you have been listening to The Steve Colman Breakfast Show where we have introduced something new. A
A few of you were having problems with the way Old Man Colman's mind worked so we have introduced a great new idea - "Kissing Words".
Basically you have to find out what the missing words are in the phrase that at the moment Quentin Wilson, the motoring writer, is talking about.
It will net you an increasing 50 a week so give it a go.
Also I am asking a question each day to get you on the radio to be a star.
I know that you can fulfill that so call me on the usual number 0845 113 22 22
And interestingly there is a Dolly Parton CD and DVD which we will be giving away next Friday.
I can imagine there will be a load of pathetic inuendo in the build-up to that and the actual giveaway next Friday about Dolly Parton's Greatest Hits (yeah yeah I've heard them all hey unless you can come up with something new!
