Some Great News...For a change!

[Pred]

Alan Johnston has been freed!!!!
I think it's the tonic we all needed at the moment, what with the weather & religious freaks & bombs.
I have been amazed by this guy's bravery & composure. I was up the crack of dawn & saw his mum & dad being interviewed, i can see where he gets it from.
Enjoy:

LOL
I know he kind of looked cool before (Alan)... i know the guy has been in captivity for months & is allowed to look a little rough, but he is probably not too happy about the 'coco the clown' bunches of hair he has. lol
he's probably over moon at moment, but my guess is he'll shave the 'coco' off as soon as. lol :lol: :lol:

I thought he was a goner,

I thought early on that the Isrealis had him, make the palestinains look bad. Nothing would surpise me down that part of the world.

but least the blokes not been harmed

OMG I nearly read that as

I thought he was a gooner

, I had the brief moment where I couldn't recall him wearing a gooners shirt


What made me larf was the correspondant talking outside the BBC, clearly placed so the banner saying free Alan Johnston was in full view.. Great promo and back slapping for a public service

was struggling to spell "goner" still don't know if it's right.

yep it's time for people to milk this one for all it's worth, Hamas look good, BBC looks competant.

Gives a little bit of hope for the region, but not be long till isreal or hamas are throwing rockets at each other again
