Vera aka Brenda Bleythn says farewell

 Vera aka Brenda Blyehn says farewell


I am a TV junkie, especially British TV and even more so about Vera. She drove that old, old landrover which had seen better days. She the crusty boss who cracked the whip with her team but was soft enough to provide a shoulder for anyone in her team. Yet, when everyone in the team was floundering, the case seeming uncrackable, it was she who would unearth a critical clue at the 12th hour and help her team solve the case. ITV bosses have confirmed Brenda will appear "in two more shows next year before it reaches a dramatic conclusion", according to the Sun newspaper.

For every single one of her fans this is a shot to each heart. Vera was quite unique and not your average crime investigator. She will be missed.

According to the Sun, Brenda has spoken out for the first time about how "hard" she will find walking away from her role as DCI Vera Stanhope.

She wrote on X: "Many thanks to everyone for your good wishes. So very much appreciated.

"Getting ready to start filming series 14 of Vera next week, gonna be  hard saying farewell."


My heart bleeds, I am going to miss Vera.

Celly Dias: one of Uganda's greatest sportsmen

  Celly Dias One of Uganda’s greatest sportsmen By Norman Da Costa Celly Dias will be remembered for his excellence on and off the field. He used his creativity and skills to get to the top. Then he turned his attention indoors and again mastered the intricacies of each sport to reign supreme. Celly was a legend in Uganda and his impact on the field was immediate and profound. He enjoyed the best of two worlds – indoors and outdoors - and even his opponents admired him and spoke in glowing terms of this sportsman. He was a sportsman in the true real sense of the word. Having met and interviewed some of the greatest sportsmen during my career in Kenya and later in Canada one thing that struck me about Celly was that he reminded me of tennis ace Roger Federer - humble and down-to-earth.  Celly, who passed away at the age of 94, still followed every sport closely and would analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a batsman or a bowler.
