Peter Donaldson

Peter Donaldson - once the voice of nuclear Armageddon - was this week the voice of Your News, our bulletin of events in listeners' lives.

Here's the script he read:

The young man who spent six months is jail for cutting my throat at the end of July will be back living with me in May: brilliant.

My daughter has a cold so I have been breastfeeding a lot. Good job too, as I woke up at 4am to a fire next door and called out the fire service.

The frogs have been busy in the pond only for their offspring to be eaten by hungry, winter-dopey fish.

I'm going to to have new knees very soon, it will be great!

Remembered how glorious it is to sing my heart out.

I've just qualified as a first aider at work!

Approached by chap who wants to view some of our 50-year-old documents with the intention of launching a new search for sunken treasure.

At 10.15 in the evening, I looked out of my sitting room window to see the local poacher and his dog heading for the pheasant-rich farmland.

Told the staff that we won't have to make anybody redundant at present, but there are unlikely to be any pay rises this year.

I couldn't face seeing my mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, because I was scared.

Here I am at 75 and have just met an uncle for the first time! He has photos of the grandfather who I never knew.

Near Milton Keynes I met Dr Johnson and David Garrick, who were walking to London; together we admired a shopping trolley in the canal. (What? It's all explained here.)

my pond is leaking and very dirty but scooping sludge reveals many mating frogs and toads and lots of newts, strings and dollops of spawn - good intentions thwarted!

After responding to the Guardian list of great heartbreak songs, I tried listening to some but have found out it's till too soon and too painful.

Spring has truly arrived - the kitten is nursing a paw as a big as a boxing glove after being stung while chasing bees.

Wondering how I can get the all-too popular local barmaid on her own long enough to tell her how I feel

Last evening at my 65th early supper and then performance in the round of Julius Caesar, sat next to a new widow, very much younger than me, and looked round at the rest of the group with their many alarms and excursions over the years, thinking: we are the survivors!

PLEASE delete comment 10 or 11 - I imbecilically posted the same one twice when I thought it had disappeared.

(I note that 10 has a typo, so maybe you could delete that one, please)? SORRY! Won't do it again.

Not really a comment, more a 'suggest a story' (my Internet Explorer link is down)

Could not Fred the Shred be taxed out of his loot, -as some US Congressmen hope to do with AIG?

Don't you just wonder how good the "Diversity and Equality" industry is at jumping up and down when someone (In this case David Jason) makes a harmless joke about an ethnic minority.
They obviously have nothing better to do to justify their cushy Government jobs and gold plated pensions.
