As it is now so difficult to acess messages on the other posting(the most sucessful one on this site)I thought,after Carole said,to start a new one.So as his no.one fan I name this site Paul Hollywood fans 2 and bless all who post on it!!!

Hear, hear!! LOL

Wonder when he will next be on the web,havent seen anything for a bit.I know hes busy,I hope he remembers where we are!

PH used to post sometimes on a Saturday but no sign of him today. Like you say Aya I suppose he's very busy at the moment. I'ms ure he hasn't forgotten us though. We wouldn't let him would we? LOL!

Does he know that the demo has been cancelled?

Aya, have you asked Paul for available dates in January? It may be best to email him direct to find out as you have such a good relationship with him now!!

oh Debbiie you made me tingle!I dont want to pester him so I may wait till hes been on this site.Hes got a lot of catching up to do.Yes,I have told him its cancelled(sob sob)but havent had a reply or anything.Do you think Ive upset or annoyed the great one.Hope not....

Aya It's not your fault so don't feel guilty. Paul is probably just very busy at the moment and I am sure that Lotte would reply if we asked her a direct question.

Paul and Lotte have been great about posting personally on this site and, let's face it, they are the only chefs who have ever bothered as far as I know. Don't tell me the others don't have an internet connection! Surely not! It would be interesting to have reactions from some of the other chefs, either co-presenters or regulars ... Mike? Simon? That nice lady who does brill veggie recipes, feel awful I've forgotten her name. And what about Lesley Waters? She has had quite a few mentions on the site. It wouldn't take all that long, surely, for them to just have a quick search and do a couple of replies. It would mean a lot!

Mary - I agree with you. It would be nice to have some replies from other who have taken part on the show. Aya - I don't think you have upset or annoyed anyone. It's probably a busy time of year for Paul anyway and I'm sure that once he gets some time he will be back here posting again. :-)

'Battle of the Chefs' Trudi? What was that? Sounds interesting. Who was on it?

I remember that.Good idea bringing it back cos it was a laugh.I didnt watch it much but felt sorry for Simon a couple of times!

Sounds a lot more exciting than RSC. Wish I'd seen it!

I wish I'd seen it too. It sounds like fun. Let's hope the GFL people are reading these posts. It would be a great programme to resurrect by the sounds of it. I had never seen Simon Rimmer or Lotte Duncan till UK Food came on the air. Or Mike or Paul .... I've seen lots of new faces, and I LIKE it!

Hello Everyone, yes I.ve been very busy started producing bread for Waitrose and its all hands on deck including me....I,m back on GFL on the 13th Dec for a pudd... seeyou all soon and Aya don,t worry xxPaul Hollywood

Oh Paul that was so sweet of you! Aya will be over the moon! Will look out for your bread in Waitrose. How will we recognise it? Will it bear your name? Waitrose do the best bread anyway, we always buy ours there unless I cook my own (secretly I think Keith prefers Waitrose to mine but he never says so!)

Yes, that was sweet. Aya will be so pleased. Glad to see you here again Paul. We missed you! I haven't got a Waitrose near to me, so Mary please let me know what I'm missing. Glad to hear that you're busy Paul - we're all looking forward to seeing you on GFL next month.

Good luck with the Waitrose project Paul! Mary, we haven't got a Waitrose near us either so can you write a full review please?? I hope Aya doesn't faint when she reads Paul's message, it was lovely.

As soon as I see a Paul Hollywood product in Waitrose I will buy it and do a taste test! I'll get my best beloved to help me and we'll post an in depth review!

Ohhhh.....Paul did you read my message on the other posting,saying my night would be complete if you wrote!!!!(Aya picks herself off the floor)Thanks for the message,thought you may of seen your(probably yummy) bum when the PTA said no.Very sorry about that,but they havent crossed it off compleatly.Havent got a clue where the nearest Waitrose is,do you know?Thanks to all that said I would be pleased,can I count that as my last birthday prezzie?

Sorry in all the excitment forgot to mention 13 is my lucky number so I'm sure the show will go well!!!
