:22:05. > :22:09.are going to win a super series and then be up to five in the world, it
:22:10. > :22:16.is something that we are really happy about. To finally do it, I am
:22:17. > :22:20.still in disbelief. The wind comes just a couple of
:22:21. > :22:26.months after the pair got married. There has barely been time to settle
:22:27. > :22:29.into married life. Being a professional badminton player means
:22:30. > :22:37.living out of a suitcase, with weeks on end away from home. Still got the
:22:38. > :22:40.medal in the bag. There is not much time to archly unpack and spend more
:22:41. > :22:47.than three or four nights at home. Dutch map `` actually unpack. But it
:22:48. > :22:52.is well with it when you win and achieve your goals. We keep looking
:22:53. > :22:56.at our trophies, and it is quite a surreal feelings. You are moving
:22:57. > :23:05.house soon, will you have a big trophy Cabinet? That will be nice.
:23:06. > :23:11.That would be ideal. We got a taste of success last week, and standing
:23:12. > :23:17.on the top of the podium is a feeling that you cannot explain. If
:23:18. > :23:23.we could get back that and what into the Commonwealth Games or the
:23:24. > :23:27.Olympics with the same feeling, that would be a dream come true.
:23:28. > :23:30.And finally from me, some very sad news. England's oldest surviving
:23:31. > :23:34.test player and former Nottinghamshire cricket captain Reg
:23:35. > :23:38.Simpson has died at the age of 93. Reg was one of the biggest sporting
:23:39. > :23:41.stars in his day. He played 27 test matches for England as an opening
:23:42. > :23:44.batsman, while in domestic cricket he scored more than 30,000 runs. His
:23:45. > :23:47.career was disrupted by the war, where he was a pilot, and after his
:23:48. > :23:50.playing days served the Nottinghamshire committee from for
:23:51. > :23:59.37 years. Our thoughts are with his family tonight.
:24:00. > :24:03.Do you groan at terrible cracker jokes every year? Well, they could
:24:04. > :24:04.be getting better this Christmas because some have been written by
:24:05. > :24:06.children here in the East 0 because some have been written by
:24:07. > :24:08.children here in the East Midlands. Yes, pupils at a school in
:24:09. > :24:11.Sutton`in`Ashfield in Nottinghamshire have had their
:24:12. > :24:21.rib`ticklers accepted by a national chain of shops. Simon Ward's been to
:24:22. > :24:31.see them for a bit of a laugh. How does Bob Marley like his
:24:32. > :24:37.doughnuts? With jam in! The children at this school are hard
:24:38. > :24:49.at work thinking of more funny lines. The jokes they have written
:24:50. > :24:56.are now inside Wilkinson's crackers. How do you stop moles from digging
:24:57. > :25:06.underground? Hide the spades. What you call fish with no eyes? `` Fsh!
:25:07. > :25:12.. On Christmas morning when they open
:25:13. > :25:16.their crackers, thousands of people will be reading their jokes. It is
:25:17. > :25:24.really funny to see how many kids actually write jokes and stuff like
:25:25. > :25:26.that. People are going to like them, because the children have worked
:25:27. > :25:33.really, really hard to get different jokes. Why can't a card 0

:26:39. > :26:44.It might produce the odd spot of drizzle, but on the whole a dry
:26:45. > :26:49.night. Where you get the clear spells, you might get a bit of fog
:26:50. > :26:57.tomorrow morning. Temperatures holding up out `` underneath all
