Most excellent - I was convinced he was brown bread.
At last! after seeing pics of him wearing a bomb belt was sure they’d blow him up…Lets hope he brings the sun out![]()
thats wicked news
What cracking news man, this is great it has made my day to be honest…
This was the best news I have heard in a long time, I’m delighted for him and his family!
I hope he can get back to work soon an put this ordeal behind him. Brilliant news for a change!
Well for the last 114 days I have been checking the bbc website every morning looking for the day when Alan would be released. Today was that day!!
My best mate Gav (for the last 16 years) is Alan Johnston’s cousin. I have met Alan a couple of times and he is the most humble, sincere bloke ever.
I have spent a couple of nights on Graham’s (Alan’s dad) sitting room floor after a night at the “hotel”
Drinking all Graham’s Glenfiddich with Gav and Graham is a memory I will never forget.
Today… the 4th of July 2007 was a very good day.
