Apr. 3rd, 2009 09:30 amSeems the US soap, Guiding Light, is being cancelled and will end in September. This is a show that started off as a radio soap opera in 1937 and went to television in 1952 so it's 72 year run breaks all records for anything! There's another soap, As the World Turns that's been on television since 1956. Coronation Street, which was never a daytime serial, probably wins for longest running primetime serial/soap, coming in at 48 years and counting. It's 50th anniversary is December 9, 2010. There's a man on ATWT that has been playing the same character for just a few months longer than Bill Roache has been playing Ken Barlow on Coronation Street though Roache is the one in the Guinness book for it.
I've stopped getting the daily paper delivered. I've been reading less and less of it and at home, the papers just pile up on weekends unread half the time. I am going to read it online by subscription there. I tried setting it up this morning but it wasn't working so i don't know if the work firewall was preventing it or not. I'll try from home on the weekend. If i subscribe, i can see the whole paper, not just the main stories that are on the newspaper website.
Countdown to the trip now that the Corrie event is over. I leave on the 29th! W00T! 27 sleeps to Manchester, 26 until the day i leave but i usually count the higher number because i have to fly overnight and there's always a faint hope i might sleep on the plane!
Hoping to go out tonight with my mate Tracey in celebration of our birthdays that were in March. "Oh we have to get together..." so this time i said, let's decide on a definite date because we'll be more likely to do it, unless something does come up. Tonight is the designated date and it looks like it's still on so i must see what's playing at the movies.
