Frank Herbert Muir (5 February 1920 - 2 January 1998) was an English comedy writer, radio and television personality, and raconteur. His writing and performing partnership with Denis Norden endured for most of their careers. Together they wrote BBC radio's Take It From Here for over 10 years, and then appeared on BBC radio quizzes My Word! and My Music for another 35. Muir became Assistant Head of Light Entertainment at the BBC in the 1960s, and was then London Weekend Television's founding Head of Entertainment. His many writing credits include editorship of The Oxford Book of Humorous Prose.
Born and brought up in his grandmother's pub, The Derby Arms in Ramsgate,[1] Kent, he spent part of his childhood in Leyton, London E10. In later years, whenever his dignified speech patterns caused listeners to assume that he had received a public-school education, Muir would demur: "I was educated in E10, not Eton." He attended Leyton County High School for Boys, though prior to this he was a pupil at Chatham House Grammar School, in Ramsgate, Kent, whose notable alumni include former Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath.
Muir stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall.
Frank Muir joined the Royal Air Force during World War II and became a photographic technician, being posted to Iceland. While there he became involved with the forces radio station. Also while stationed in Iceland — as he describes in his memoirs A Kentish Lad — Muir suffered a spontaneous medical condition requiring the surgical removal of one testicle.
Upon his return to civilian life, he began to write scripts for Jimmy Edwards. When Edwards teamed up with Dick Bentley on BBC Radio, Muir formed a partnership with Denis Norden, Bentley's writer, which was to last for most of his career. The vehicle created for Bentley and Edwards, Take It From Here, was written by Muir and Norden from 1948 until 1959; a last series in 1960 used other writers. For TIFH, as it became known, they created "The Glums", a deliberately awful family, which was the show's most popular segment.
In 1949, Muir married Polly McIrvine. They had two children, Jamie (born 1952), a TV producer, and Sally (born 1954), who co-founded the Muir and Osborne knitwear design company, and is married to the journalist and author Geoffrey Wheatcroft.
Muir and Norden continued to write for Edwards when he began to work for BBC television with the school comedy series Whack-O, and in the anthology series Faces of Jim. With Norden, in 1962, he was responsible for the television adaptation of Henry Cecil's comic novel Brothers in Law, which starred a young Richard Briers.
The pair were invited to appear on a new humorous literary radio quiz, My Word!. In the final round Muir and Norden each told a story to "explain" the origin of a well-known phrase. An early example took the quotation "Dead! And never called me mother!" from a stage adaptation of East Lynne by Mrs Henry Wood, which became the exclamation of a youth coming out of a public telephone box which he had discovered to be out of order. In early broadcasts of My Word! the phrases were provided by the quizmaster, but in later series Muir and Norden chose their own in advance of each programme and their stories became longer and more convoluted. This became a popular segment of the quiz, and Muir and Norden later compiled several volumes of books containing some of the My Word! stories.
Frank Muir was also, like Norden, a contestant on the My Word! spinoff, My Music. As a television personality, Muir's unofficial trademark was a crisply knotted pink bow tie.
I found him to be an engaging personality with a dry wit and an acute facility for observation. Looking around the police studio, which displayed examples of forensic photography and my portraits, He said,"I believe that your portrait photography must preserve you from the insanity that your daily work could drive you to." How right he was!

*Celebrating World Migratory Bird Day in Armenia!*
*Armenian Society for the Protection of Birds*
(BirdLife
Affiliate Partner) continues its old tradition of celebrating the World
Migratory Bird Day in Armenia (WMBD). ASPB organised various events
including presentations, quizzes and games to address the theme of
preventing threats for the migrating birds.
This year, on May 9, we joined all bird lovers celebrating this marvelous
day by involving Vrezh Hambardzumyan Basic School No. 17 in Yerevan in the
presentation called "WMBD: Energy - make it bird-friendly!". Schoolchildren
were highly interested in this vital topic and they were curiously
following the entire lecture. Our staff members firstly explained the
phenomenon of migration and discussed all factors that affect the process
of bird migration. Particularly the threats of solar panels, wind farms and
voltage power lines as well as the urban artificial night lighting were
highlighted, which have already caused mass death to birds. The aim of the
event was not only to inform the schoolchildren about the vulnerable
situation of birds, but also to encourage them to come up with correct
solutions of solving this critical issue by themselves. To our surprise,
children demonstrated an unbelievable activity and with a great enthusiasm
shared their ideas. They also took part in some quizzes and games related
to the topic where the best participants were awarded.
On the following day, on May 10, ASPB celebrated the WMBD with the German
tourists at Armash IBA and Aragats Mountain. There are high voltage
electric pylons in both areas, which every year cause the death of many
birds, mostly raptors and soaring birds such as White Storks. During the
tour, the participants were informed about the migration barriers in
Armenia, with special highlights of the energy sources. In addition, they
shared the experience of Germany in making the energy more bird-friendly,
highlighting the work done by NABU (BirdLife partner in Germany). The
latter can be very useful in future when new approaches of protecting birds
from uninsulated electricity pylons can be realised.
Armenian Society for the Protection of Birds thanks the WMBD team for the
initiation of the event as well as for providing the supporting materials.
We hope next year we will manage to organise large-scale events that would
cover more parts of our country.
Thanks Nerx. XD I can't resist the fun things you do.

this has been a really, really hard week for me and my family. and i know this photo does absolutely nothing and has no effort whatsoever but the lyric (from the song "Alive With The Glory of Love" by Say Anything...) really describes how i've been feeling this week.
A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF SKYLER:
- the week started out like a nightmare and then gradually got better so i'm feeling pretty good right now.
- it was only a four day school week.
- i had so many quizzes oh my god.
- i signed up for a spot in a driver's ed class. i thought it might be fun.
- my band director asked me if i'd be willing to take lessons to be in the school wind ensemble next year. i think you know what my answer was ;)
- i moped around all day. i really did not feel like myself at all.
- i have so much homework left to do tonight!
next week's photo will be tons better i promise.
