Hoping that all of you who are now in bed will see this in morning. Best news ever.

i have 2 free alan lapel badges (my girls will be thrilled)

What fantastic news that after over a hundered days in captivity this man is now released and back with his family. I have to admit that last week I was worried for his life after seeing him on the news with explosives attatched to a belt around his waist. His family must be over the moon and it goes to show that miracles do happen! For once a good bit of news this week with a happy ending.

this is brilliant news

This is such wonderful news, I've been bouncing around ever since I heard last night

I was so relieved to hear this. What amazing news for his parents. I've been haunted by the posters of him up at work and really hoping for this news.

It's brilliant news.
Not just because he's free, but because of teh potential for the powers that be to now talk with Hamas.
Well done Hamas for making it happen!

I was really happy when I saw this early this morning. It's a good day.

I had a strange thing at work. His poster has been staring at me while I work for, well, eight weeks now. On Monday night I suddenly thought, 'I can't bear the powerlessness. I'm going to do something. It's too upsetting to just have him looking out of that poster and do nothing'. So every time I passed the poster (when I went to make tea or go to the loo) I put my hand on his cheek and sort of sent him positive vibes - a little non Christian prayer if you like.

I know it sounds like a load of wank, but I felt elated and just a teeny bit psychic when he was released within a few hours of that.

Spider it was all your doing!

aah bless,just saw Alan Johnston on the news,home with his parents and sister.he seems like such a nice man

His parents live up the road from where we will live come September.

looks lovely,what a place to come home to! He hadn't seen the sun for 2 months

expat I'm so glad you're moving, are you thrilled?

Yes, Piffle. More than words can say!

I have moved around in life. Many times. I think maybe this will always be the case for me.

But I can say, having done this time and again, that once I am done with a place, I am truly done with it.

And this is well over.
