Egluntyne Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Imagine this.....Dolly Parton...of all people... is coming to Rotherham to launch a new literacy campaign. Read about it ~~here~~ Naughty councillors have been ducking out of meetings to get to see her. Only in South Yorkshire You really couldn't make it up.

Lesley Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 ....but they only moved their meeting by an hour I think it is brilliant Didn't she have a literacy problem when she was young? - I think it is great she's helping others in this way.

Lesley Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 perhaps she's never heard of Rotherham?? - perhaps she think's it's a major city? I've never been to Rotherham, so I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 How surreal, Dolly Parton in Rotherham! I think she does a lot of child related stuff as she has always wanted lots of children but couldn't have any She's one big hearted lady!

Cinnamon Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 She's one big hearted lady! She is,isn't she? I really like her - not her music so much, but her. She doesn't take herself at all seriously, & anyone who can open a theme park & call it Dollywood is OK by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 BAH HUMBUG I thought you were going to tell me the film was on Christmas Day or something.

The Dogmother Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 How surreal! But good for her, I understand that she does lots of good work like that. Funnily enough, I was having a 'Dolly revisit' on YouTube the other day and listening to her at work - posted a couple of her videos on my blog. Fantastic woman, whio is always first to send herself up.... but those boobs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
