Firstly Marion and I were over the moon to see the following published in Monday's Daily Mirror.
"ITV launch new game show Colour Of Money
18/08/2008
..in the pipeline
Queuing at the cashpoint for a couple of beer vouchers is boring, right? Wrong!
ITV have devised an exciting new game show all about, er, cash machines.
In the Colour Of Money, 10 contestants face a bank of 20 cashpoints - each containing an unknown amount of dosh. Players choose to withdraw cash from 10 machines and have to decide when to shout "stop". The challenge is whether to play safe and win small - or gamble on a big payout but risk losing all if their machine runs dry.
The upcoming show is to get a prime-time slot."
And the reason for our pride?
Our son Paul (above) devoted most of 2007 to developing this game which he created with his colleague Danny and by last Christmas he was trialing it with as many guinea pigs as possible and lots of us here at Instanta played. The game is great fun and not easy to win although Nick won £75k (pretend money unfortunately for Nick). Well done son. And with a new Eggheads programme also developed by Paul airing in October on BBC2 it looks like a brilliant career lies ahead.
And the next proud parent is Northern Sales Manager Peter Brindle whose son John married girlfriend Ruth last Friday.
Sadly Peter wouldn't let me include a photo of him in his tails so here are the happy couple. I have known John for many years and have to say that he is a great young man and a credit to his dad. A talented musician, John teaches at the local Sixth Form College. Our very best wishes go out to both of them.
And so to our new competition. Here is a photo of a lovely Yorkshire Dales cottage.
And here is a short clip from a very famous film
Can you connect the two? First correct answer received with a boiler order wins £25 off their order.
