Robert Bartmess Friend (born November 24, 1930) is a former right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who pitched primarily for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1951–1965), joining the New York Yankees and New York Mets in his final season of 1966. He is the first man ever to lead the league in ERA while pitching for a last place team.
Friend was born in Lafayette, Indiana, and grew up in nearby West Lafayette. His father was an orchestra leader, and Friend studied piano seriously until age sixteen, about the same time as his father died. At West Lafayette High School, Friend was an all-state football halfback and an all-state pitcher on the baseball team, and also played basketball and golf.
Friend's father and many other family members had attended Purdue University, and Friend dreamed of playing college football for Purdue, as well as pursuing a baseball career. However, a high school shoulder injury led him to focus on baseball, and he signed a professional contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He enrolled at Purdue in the fall of 1949, but was ineligible for college athletics. Friend attended Purdue during baseball off-seasons for eight years, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in economics in 1957, and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Vivien Creegor (born 1960) is an English television newscaster. From 1989 until 2006, she was one of the principal news readers on Sky News.
Creegor started her career as a secretary with the BBC and eventually became a Production Assistant for BBC Radio Drama, an abridger for the BBC Radio 4 programme, ‘A Book at Bedtime’. She became a newscaster on British television on BBC1 and BBC2 and on radio on BBC Radio 4.
In 1988, she joined the fledgling Sky News, eventually becoming the news anchor with Bob Friend. She remained at Sky until 2006, when she was released, according to the management, "to make way for new faces".
She has written several articles for the London Evening Standard and the Daily Mail and also worked for many years with the United Nations, frequently as a Goodwill Ambassador. In addition, for several years, she presented the Millennium Child of Achievement Forum.
After leaving Sky, she moved to Hollywood and appeared in the movie Stormbreaker.
I've been lying,
to keep you from this pain
Now your crying,
and to know that I'm to blame
And I'll miss you
But its over now
I'm so sorry,
that it had to be this way
Please don't hate me,
but there's nothing you can say
To change my mind
I've got to go away
The guy that I fell for
He wanted more and more
Bye Bye Boyfriend
It's time that I'd be on my way
Bye Bye Boyfriend
I used to like the way you said
Baby back it up,
Lay down what
It was fun but it couldn't last forever
Bye Bye pretty boyfriend,
It's time to, It's time to pack it up
Baby 'cause its over now
Let me tell you how it was when we started off
The tattoos and the lip pierce and raggedy style you used to rock
Lately everything you do and say is messed up
Things have changed, down is up we're outta luck
And Baby I'm sorry
That it had to be this way
Please don't hate me, but there's nothing you can say
To Change my mind
The guy that I fell for
He wanted more and more
Bye Bye Boyfriend
It's time that I'd be on my way
Bye Bye Boyfriend
I used to like the way you said
Baby back it up,
Lay down what
It was fun but it couldn't last forever
Bye Bye pretty boy,
It's time to, It's time to pack it up
Baby 'cause its over now
You never put the effort in to the things that really counted
A word here, and a kiss there
Could change the way its turning out
You work so hard at all the things I never cared about
How hands work & fingers moving, Eyes wide Shut
And baby I'm lonely
Though your right in front of me
You controlled me
That was the girl I used to be
Gave up myself
Well its over now
The guy that I fell for
He wanted more and more
Bye Bye Boyfriend
It's time that I'd be on my way
Bye Bye Boyfriend
I used to like the way you said
Baby back it up,
Lay down what
It was fun but it couldn't last forever
Bye Bye pretty boy,
It's time to, It's time to pack it up
Baby 'cause its over now
I'm backin up,
Baby cause it's over now
Pretty pretty pretty pretty boyfriend,
C'mon
c'mon
c'mon
c'mon
Baby back it up
Lay down what
It was fun but it couldnt last forever
bye bye pretty boy
It's time to, It's time to pack it up
