JUST BE REALLY GOOD AND ALL WILL BE WELL., OH AND BY THE WAY I DON'T WANT TO GO ON HOLIDAY BUT
Just been to see a ...
...tricologist. Whta a lovely guy. He saves people's hair and they love him for it and now I love him too.
Hair loss, fascinating stuff. Nearly always preventable to some extent.
He told me how there was a sudden marked increase in hair loss in women a few years ago yet no-one knew why, so a very clever man called Hugh started to look into it and traced it back to the mad cow crisis. Ladies had stopped eating red meat and as a result their iron stocks were plummeting, this in turn was causing a hormone deficiency and out dropped the hair.
Seriously girls and guys, if you're not happy with your hair these geniuses can make you happy. Forty quid a session... major value for money.
I have a friend who has just accepted that her hair is getting old and thin and lifeless, she hates it, well guess what she's getting for Christmas ? (NO NOT A WIG- CYNICS !)
We're on holiday from tonight boo hoo, see you when we get back.

Chris get you motorcyle bike test done and dusted and buy yourself a Suzuki Hayabusa that will stop you worrying about your hair loss, problem solved !
Is your friend with the thinning hair getting a year's supply of iron tablets? (if she is, tell her not to panic when her poo goes very dark...It may look alarming, but it's just the extra iron in her diet and nothing to worry about)
Have a great holiday.

Come on Chris, have a great break, all you guys - well deserved. . .
I have to tell you about last night hope you don't mind - what a scream - so there I was, with this cheeky little Shiraz, regaling me with her tales of life on the vines, lying in the sun, then getting picked up by a sun-ripened, olive-skinned Portuguese farmer, before a brief spell feeling down-trodden and squashed out by the local gentry and then there was nothing else for it but to hit the bottle鈥ig-time. A couple of dark years followed, not venturing outside, afraid of the daylight and all the time turning to alcohol, until she was gradually teased out of her shell, into the light by . . . good ole me!!
We spent several hours together; I swallowed her every thought, drowned in her happiness and for the first time in years myself, I felt at one with another, this tall thin stranger, 鈥 yes, admittedly hard-nosed, maybe even full of herself, at first, but when she opened up and poured out all to me, a warm fuzzy feeling enveloped my very being.
After some time though, I鈥檇 had enough and decided that this relationship was not the way forward. She was becoming scarily addictive. I didn鈥檛 want to dump her there and then, that would be just rubbish and that鈥檚 not me. No, beside the corkscrew and stopper, I left her to her own devices - in the kitchen. That was her, her in the corner, losing her religion - with Mr. Sheen (not great company admittedly, as he also happened to be pretty wasted).
As I left for the evening, Madison gave me such a catty look as if to say 鈥淗mm, you鈥檙e a real lothario, my friend and compadre, aren鈥檛 you?鈥 鈥淐alm down, pet..鈥, I mumbled and set off into the Belfast night . .

Have a good break old chap.
We're only a week away from ours.
Nice weekend in store. I've got the 'AM' on the drive and a clear diary apart from lunch at The M on Sunday followed by Fulham v Pompey on the telly.
A week of mopping up and sorting out, figuratively speaking, I'm an accountant, not a janitor. Not that there is anything wrong with janitors, oh, you know what I mean.
Have a wonderful weekend one and all
Much peace & love

I like your sense of humour...
& poetic with it...:)
I am going to see the Spice Girls next January! Mr Debbie has got me a ticket as my Christmas/Valentine/Birthday present I think.
Me and my friend are going and even though we aren't huge fans to be honest, it will be a fun night I'm sure of that.
Hope you are all having a good weekend out there,
Debbie xx
one and all gooday
What a fab day I had in Londres, Sunset over Waterloo Bridge even got to see Dustin Hoffman filming, my most favourite actor of all time.
These new trains though are so quiet whatever happened to clickity clack clickity clack and doors slamming at stations... I fell alseep missed me stop and it took an age to get home. Bring back the noise I say.
Debbie I hope you enjoy the Spice girls actually I would not be paid to see them. I'd rather go and see a drag act.
Good Afternoon.
thank you Red, very nice of you to post that compliment, much appreciated.
Post a joke and I may even comment on your sense of humour . .

Cripes!
(As a childhood fan of Marvel comics I've always wanted to say that)
It's panning out to be a splendid weekend.
The sun is shining in West Sussex and England have only gone and won the bloomin' rugby!
As a non-eggchaser, I wasn't going to bother watching, but I was compelled, as you would be, to take the Aston out for a spin, and once I realised that we weren't actually getting tonked, I dropped into the local and watched the second half.
You know, I could get into this game.
Anyway. I've decided to end my 10 year boycott of Formula One and get up and watch, hopefully, Lewis take the drivers crown. Then, its a nice walk, lunch at The M and home to watch Fulham, hopefully, secure 3 points against Pompey.
And then, the weekend would be complete.
Hope you are all having a good one.
Peace & love
MfR
my hair is thin on top no bother at all when im going for a shandy im ready twice as quick as the misses cos i dont have to stand there blow drying
morning team
hope you are all well today.
What a great result for England in the egg-chasing World Cup, and as for France, well what a turn up?
I have got my latest knee check-up today. The physio cannot help anymore and has referred me back to the surgeon who is gonna see me this afternoon. Fingers crossed that an end is in sight, I'm fed up now and would like to walk pain free as it's been 10months now!!!!!! hmph
Will check in later if I get time, if not see you in the morning.

Hiya Chris...wherever you may be! Hope the sun is shining, or the snow is snowing...or the leaves are crunchy...or you're just having a lovely time anyway!
...and your friend with the old, thin, lifeless hair...mine's been like that since I was knee high to the actually quite tall all things considered grasshopper. Fine they call it. I call it a blimmin pain. The farsands of parnds I've spent on trying to thicken it up, or curl it, or make it go properly straight, or just go a bit under for the bob...I now end up bottling it every 4-6 weeks or so. I now have no idea what colour it may really be. It did used to be blonde, and my poor Mummy used to tear hers out at the colours and cuts I had done...'do you know how many people would kill to have hair the colour of yours?' was a particular wailing favourite...
I'd guess your friend may be getting a perm for Christmas. Or implants.
Gingembre will be getting new knees.
Probably pink.
And DEFINITELY with a plaster on each

Good Morning,
Prof Plum you are quite right, I don't think they would even get through X Factor these days. However, they were in their prime in about 96/97 and I remember that being a really good time for me and I do think that it will be a fun night. Me and my friend have decided that I'm 'Baby Spice' (ahh) while she is 'Posh'. But then sometimes I can be quite scary!! Went to see George Michael at Wembley in June, now there is real talent, love him to bits!
We took little man to Warwick Castle yesterday, it was lovely there I recommend it. Think we'll take him to Dover Castle sometime.
Hazel I know exactly what you mean with the fine hair thing. Remember the shaggy perms? Well I attempted that back then but my hair is so fine it dropped out within days. Maybe not such a bad thing though!
Gingembre, good luck with the appointment today x
Have a good day everyone.
Debbie xx
DEBBIE!- I'm going to see The Spice Girls as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What date are you going? I'm going the 2nd January! Like Kylie last year I can't miss the chance to see them and have a girlie night out. It will be such a fun evening and very exhausting as well but worth it! And its exactly one year after Kylie. 2nd Jan is my lucky day I think!
Hope you are all well. Went to an engagement party on saturday (photos on the blog!) and the 'fella'met the parents. It all went well and mum and her friend Christine were chatting to him loads, had to drag him off the poor thing!
So what will we do with out Chris for 2 weeks :( How many holidays is he allowed! The cheeky thing!
Prof Plum- don't spoil the moment!
Wot no CLP for how long?
A well deserved honeymoon I believe he was talking about on Friday to a lady who had just come back from a minimoon (3 days away).
Any news from Martin - is he lurking ?
To all bloggers and lurkers I hope you are having a great monday - the sun is out on the dorset coast.
I had a very busy weekend - much of it spent driving around between dorset, somerset and wiltshire and back to dorset in that order.
I heard the Ilminster carnival went off without a hitch and wish that the Bridgwater one had more of a national press for it - the illuminated floats are fantastic - the Ghost Ship last year won every carnival and collected over 60 cups.
Must dash its worktime

Dearest Prof Plum...
In one of my many incarnations, I played a dame in the pantomime of Sinbad the Sailor - Mrs Sinbad, the young lad's mother. I played a dame as there were no suitable 'gentlemen' prepared to dress up as a woman with no less than NINE (count 'em) costume changes.
So, I had to dress as a man, dressed as a woman.
I also had to sing 'Zig A Zig Ahhh'.
I think that about covers it
love

Alwight!!!!!!!!!!
I WOULD LOVE TO RESPOND BUT I JUST CAN'T POST................
Hello Bingo, you're very quiet today!!!
Missy I'm going to the O2 on the 15th January so you'll have to let me know what you think of the show. You and your 'fella' make a lovely couple by the way x
It's so quiet here today isn't it?
Have a lovely evening all,
Debbie xx
Debbie- thanks lady! Its gonna be a fab night either way! The 'fella' is lovely! Really like him!
Bonjour mon amis
Dreary day here in Norwich today, oh well.
So, I went to see the surgeon yesterday, he pulled, poked, prodded, twisted, pressed and pushed my knee in a variety of ways and then said "I'm not too sure, you'll need an MRI scan"
He thinks there could be a cyst inside the bone or some other damage to the cartilage not originally seen or even ligament trouble! Still non-the-wiser then? I'm awaiting my scan date in the post. To say I was in a mood yesterday afternoon is an understatement. Can't go into too much detail but work are now 'umm'ing and 'arr'ing over paying for it. (it was originally an injury on duty)???
Grrr, hmph and Grrr again.
missy - nice pics, he looks very suave.

I'm also going to see Alice Cooper in November. Does this count?
...and Plum...I know it would have been a good one too!
So, will this thingamajig work today?
Will I?

Hiya,
I've tried for days to comment, but it just won't work. Hopefully this will be the day!
First things first - Spice Girls will be fabulous, don't doubt it. But oooh Victoria, she gives me the heebie jeebies, she is looking decidedly spooky these days!
HL - Alice Cooper - he is a great guy (David Cassidy is his best friend) and I'm sure it will be a great show, if a little crazy.
But you guys have nothing, and I do mean nothing over me - I am going to see Donny Osmond this month! Yes, yes, you're all going to pretend you'd rather have all your teeth removed, but I think he will be fab!
I tried to tell you all this yesterday - our lovely Jo has given birth to a beautiful baby boy! She is already putty in his hands!
Have a good Tuesday, all.
C xx
Donny Osmond. Good grief. One of the last true 'pop' stars...ChrissieS, if you've still got your Bay City Rollers scarf, you'd better tie it around your wrist right now girlie! I can feel a Bye Bye Baby coming on...
Gingembre, that is not good news at all. If I get injured 'on duty' I'm covered...unless it's me who pours tea into my keyboard in which case it's my own stupid fault and a whole different ball game...I think it may be worth your while to take a trip to some organisation to see where you stand. (No pun intended but it worked quite well anyway.) I don't like to think of a Gingembre being done over!
So, if this blog is working properly today, I may well be able to get a wee bit of work done in between seeing if my post has made it.
Happy Tuesday to all of you!
love
hazel

By the way, it's p-ing darn, darn sarf too. If it was any colder it'd be snaying. And I'd be out in the carpark making balls.
ps Kissy Missy...if he'd been my Chemistry teacher, I may have bothered ever turning up...
Greetings Ter Each & ALL Blog Operatatives,
Bingo Star ere.
I'd just like ter offer my sincerewrist apologies for a very short blog yesterdee.
I was very depressed knowing that Christoof iz off for 2 weeks.
I 'ad ter book meself inter rehab for a day!!!!
Yeah..... rehab blog friends!
Me bed clip board in rehab 'ad on it as follows -
NAME : B. Star
ADDRESS : M6
OCCUPATION : Demented Trucker & Failed Comedian
REASON FOR ADMISSION : Chris Evans is on 'oliday
But god news blog friends...... me shrink 'as pursuaded me ter at least write one word of love on the blog yesterdee (which I did - see comment #19). I've also been given a strong shot in me arm (pause for breath) by me shrink of a powerful mix of valiumn, sherbert and crushed refreshers ter get me through the two weeks.
So i'll be back later or termoz with some blogging fun blog friends - know what am sayin'!!!!
If I don't get the chance terrrrr.... blog again terday it's because i'm moving 'ouse.
Chow!
PS Wishes Of Well Ter All!!!!!!!!
Thanks Guys on the comments!
Hazel- does he look like a teacher? He's actually a drummer!!! Therefore he has lovely strong arms!!!
Gingembre- How are you mate? How awful is the weather today. So depressing! But hey it is October!
Oh by the way all the benefit stuff is all sorted out so now paying off all the bills at last!
Hope you all have a wonderful day, Missy xxx
Ooooh I say Missy he looks absolutely fine and dandy to me.
Gingembre - stand firm you can get them to pay up.
Good news re Jo's baby...
PS exactly how do you create a blog??? not that I've probably got much time to do it, just interested n all.
The cooking theme Mr Maconie did last night was very funny.
The comments as usual got me smiling - keep up the good work bloggers
Phoenix out
There is a man in the field behind me ploughing the grass. I think he is akshully meant to be cutting said herbage, but given the weather, 'ploughing' seems to be a more apt description.
I noticed, prior to him mounting his sit-upon mower, that he was changing into his clothes whilst in the front seat of his van.
He now appears to be wearing jeans and a jumper, and must be absolutely wringing wet.
As (from here anyway) he appears to be not half bad and a bit burly as well...I eagerly await his clipping conclusion, and look forward to watching him getting changed again.
Any advice on inappropriate behaviour gratefully received.

Blimey, Gingembre, MORNING? Looking at the time of your post, only just, mate!
NOW it's morning. All badgers have finished snuffling for the night and have woken up on the sofa as apparently I wouldn't let him get back into bed after he'd got up in the middle of the night (possibly around 05.20) to make a cup of tea...
Anyhoo, glad you have someone you can talk to. Definitely the sort of thing you need to get done proper like.
Oh, by the way, your lot stopped us the other night. On the way home from the airport. Me with a tan! They wanted to know why they'd seen the badger adrivin' ararnd the area earlier in the evening and it was now, erm, eleven thirty pee em? Because we have friends who live near the airport, and he thought he might pop and see them before he picked us up. And that's all is it sir? (Small ess for sure). No, Officer, I thought I'd better pop round to my mother-in-law's house to make sure it was all as it should be before I collected her and took her home. Oh. Righty ho then. thank you. (Small tee). And left us to fumble our way home in the fog.
Interesting diversion though.
So, other news. Not heard from Mummy Jo again since the birth, but have seen a pic...he's a real baby and everything! Congratulations lovely girl, and Mr Jo! George. How cool is a name like that? One little mention for Sophie Puppy too though :0) xx
SammyM, how are you doing lately? Are you out there? Hope all is well...

Greetings blog frineds errrr....
MWK - I was reading your comments last week - It was very last minute coming up ter Scotland. Never know were i'm going ter go in my job, truckin', until i'm already at work - know what am sayin'!!!!
Debbie - Good ter see you bloggin' Mondee errr yeah I was very qutie Mondee. I explained all in me Tuesdee blog commentation - a day in rehab was needed!!!!
Prof Plum - Sorry ter 'ear yer can't blog at present & all this Spice Girls talk 'as been causing undue stress.
Phoenix - I was reading your comments about setting up a website/ blog. I'm not sure myself 'ow exactly yer go about it but I know if you google - own blog - various websites come up that can 'elp. I know it's reasonably straight forward ter set one up.
It's keeping the regular posts going thats probally the 'ardest bit - know what am sayin'!!!
Hazel Love - sounds like it's all 'appenin' around the airport...... the noise must drive yer crayzeee!!!!
PS - I've got a few jokes if anyone wants ter 'ear them?
I was thinking of each day puttin' on the blog a joke from me and a joke from a well known comedian.
I could call it 'One From Me & One Not From Me'.
What der think blog friends? - Just thought it might keep a few operatatives extra entertained until CLP returns!!!!!!!!!
Chow!
Hi everyone,
Just checking my hair for nits while i type this (quite tricky as I only have two hands). At least headlice are something you won't have to worry about if you lose your hair Chris.
Today I feel like I am emerging into the sunshine after several days under a black cloud, hormones are scary things when you get to my age!
My sister is getting married on Saturday and I am reading the excerpt from Captain Corelli's Mandolin that starts "Love is a temporary madness...". I know some people aren't that keen on it but I love it, its so true.
Missy - he's cute!
Gingembre - good luck re knee.
jo - congratulations, love the name its one of my favourites.
Hope I've remembered everyone.
Em xx
Good Morning lovely people,
Bingo, love the idea about the jokes. Looking forward to them! x
Em M, hope you don't find any nits and hope that you have a lovely day now that the clouds have lifted for you x
CtD, are you ok? I'm guessing that you must be stoopid busy at the moment! x
Hazel, is the scenery as good today as it was yesterday? x
Big congratulations to Jo, sending lots of love to you, family and little George x
Everyone, have a great Hump Day!
Debbie xx
Zig a Zig Zag one and all
Just thought I would see if it's possible to post or whether I'm too much of a liabilty......
HL. I would have loved to have seen your pantomine dame, maybe you could be a stand in for Posh if she goes off in a huff after reading the mail....
Bingo it's the music that gives me stress. A joke a day keeps the black van away.
Off in my ski goggles to smash some tiles off kitchen walls actually might put on my Spice album it might help.
Good day.
Humpday greetings ......
Bingo I concur with Debbie and think it would be a good idea to have the one from you and one not ..... etc. Ms Love if you are suitably rested from your recent excursion could I ask if you would send up a string to get us motivated on here! Last year we had the wacky Christmas pressies and who you'd want to get stuck in the lift with...... Perhaps who you would want to watch change clothing in the front seat of a van/why the Police (non blog) have stopped you in a vehicle? Just a 'little' thought. And here's another:
Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside. He looked up and said weakly: "I have something I must confess." "There's no need to, " his wife replied. "No," he insisted, "I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!" "I know," she replied, " now just rest and let the poison work."
Wilsmar
PS Dr M'C - I'm still reading The Book.
Debbie - I thoroughly recommend Dover Castle (sorry, I've only just found the time to read the blog!). Went there on Sat with 'im indoors as it was his birthday. Weather was glorious and views breathtaking. You must book a tour to see the war-time tunnels - amazing.
Anyhoo, glad all is well with you and well done on the Spice Girl tickets!!
jillygoat xx
I think I have just eaten a money spider. I do not think this is particularly a good thing...I thought it was a piece of broken crisp in my dip, but now I think it was definitely a spider. The reason being, I have just had (another) two abseil on to my desk in a similar vicinity to the one possibly eaten. Ah well. It may be should have taken more notice where it was going, and I should have taken more notice whether the suspected bit of crisp was moving about.
...and in the meantime, young Wilsmar, I always try to oblige...
I (may) have just eaten a spider. So WHAT, dear blog friends, have you either knowingly or not-knowingly tucked into...whilst being under the impression it was something else.
A long, long time ago, whilst still a relative youngster, I was munching on my brekkie we3tabix, I realised I was chewing something green, and most unchewy. I screeched and threw the bowl from me, and realised that my mum, thinking that I'd maybe notice it there BEFORE placing milk and cereals atop it, had put two green tie-tags with which to fasten my school project file, in the dish.
Your turns.
Marguerites patterns

Bingo - a splendid idea!
Debbie - sadly no. They've even scared my bunsters away with their nasty noisy mowers!
Plum - I got rave reviews. Mainly in strange magazines. You may well still have a copy...
Ello Ter All Blog Friends,
Bingo Star ere.
I'm so glad ter 'ear some of the fellow blog operatatives are not on 'oliday with CLP at 'is Ukrainian Caravan, of Love in Lviv!!!!!
I waz feeling so left out blog friends for a minute blog friends!!!!
Debbie, Wilsmar & Prof Plum ok i've got today's jokes ere.
ONE FROM ME & ONE NOT FROM ME :
I've just started a new career as a trainee joiner.
I said ter me boss "do I need ter bring any tools with me?"
Me boss said "yes.... just a saw and a jigsaw for day one".
So I 'it meself in me arm.... then I went in ter work and said "look i've got a sore on me arm and ere's a 30 piece Teletubbies jigsaw".
I was imeeediately dismissed blog friends - don't know why!!!!!
BINGO STAR 2007.
Police arrested two kids yesterday.
One was drinking battery acid, the other eating fireworks.
They charged one and let the other off!!!!!
TOMMY COOPER (Sometime between 1921 & 1984)
PS Prof Plum man - The Spice Girls music can be stressful at times, I should know, I bought their album!!!!
I often wonder if the inspiration for their first BIG tune came from a zebra crossing no parking area? - The zig zags!!!!!!
Chow!
Me again,
I 'ate it when that 'appens.
As soon as yer write yer blog someone else replies back ter yer and yer 'aven't included them in yer commetations.
I'm sorry Hazel Love, this 'as just 'appened with your latest blog now, so i'll just say me jokes are for you too!!!!
Chow!
PS The blog ploice will probally intercept me blog sent two mins ago (the one with the jokes) and only put this one up thus 'aving evryone asking what's Bingo on about, 'as Bingo lost it!!!!
Bonjourno mon amies.
Debbie - thanks for asking! Stoopid busy - no. Stooopidly suffering with a horrid cold - oh yes.
It came on late Sunday, when I woke up on Monday morning I sounded like Les Dawson and is gone progressively downhill ever since...... achoooo ... sorry bout that.
So - haven't really done anything all week except sneeze and splutter and sleep to daytime TV whilst snuggled up with my lovely cat. I ventured to the supermarket this morning for some cold remedies and replacement tissues and it absolutely wore me out. Now guzzling copious amounts of a very high-calorie energy drink - you know the one. It's nuclear orange and used to have a cellophane wrapper ound the glass bottle pre-plastic packaging!
missy - will have to have a peek at the fella on your blog. Glad it's all going dandy for you!
We're meant to be going to see Sean Hughes tomorrow night in Ipswich. I hope this caugh goes into hiding or else we'll have to find someone else to give the tickets to. Doh!
Right, my eyes are now watering like a very watery thing, so I'll post this and pop back later (or in the morning if I nod off!) to catch up.
Love and hugs, with hot lemon
CtD x x x
PS: HL - have a large one for me!
Dear Bingo, if you could let us know when you may have actually 'found it' we'll keep an eye open...
Hello my lovelies! Bingo, keep the jokes coming!! Hazel, you need to keep moving for the rest of the day, otherwise the mates of the spider you ate will have you bound up in web and dragged off!!
Spice Girls - must admit I had a mad moment of thinking about going to see them! don't like them but I think the concerts will be fantastic, I bet you'll all sing and dance all night!!!!! But yes, Posh is looking more and more scary every day.
Ooh, Missy, the Man meeting the parents, things MUST be going well!!!
Happy hump day everyone!
xxxxxxx
Nice one Bingo.... nice one Tommy......
Hazel I can't remember eating something unintentionally/mistakenly, but will risk hurting my brain to think on that poser.
Wilsmar
PS HL - if you notice any change later...... that'll be a yes to the money spider?
PPS - MWK as you were a "no show" I put your share of the spag bol in the freezer.
Oh dear Hazel, did the spider get the fly you had for brekkie? Now you have to swallow the bird, the cat, the dog.........
I watched my friend's brother wipe dog food off his dogs nose with his finger and then eat it years ago.
Jillygoat, thanks for that I will look up Dover Castle on the 'net' and check the weather out while I'm at it!
Bingo, on top form brill!
CtD, wish you better soon, hope you find a good black and white film to doze off to!
Debbie xx
Just had another idea, if anyone is interested?
Alternate names for the Spice Girls.
Not at all new I know...but then neither are they...
Tinsel - EEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWW!!!!!!
Nothing odd eaten - was on exercise once with Gurkhas when passed a canteen to drink from and took large gulp only to find rum not water... does this count?
The diet coke break you described yesterday was brill.
Alternative names for spice girls
Pink spice
Old spice
Curry spice
Freckle spice
Tiger spice
That'll do for now
Will touch base later if I can and see what everyone else has written
Phoenix
Posh = Hungry Spice
Sporty = Rock Chic Spice
Ginger = Spaced Out Spice
Baby = I've Just Had a Baby Spice
Scary = Still Scary Spice
Sorry, not very good I know. Boss is currently flying out to New York and think I must be in holiday mode too!
Debbie xx
HL, how about
POSH... BIG BIRD SPICE

Yo Ter All,
Bingo Star ere.
Thank you for all of your kind words about me jokes, i'm glad most blog operatatives like them because I 'ate me jokes...... yeah.. they fill me with anger blog friends..... yeah ANGER!!!!
They remind me of the time I was on a anger management course for angry managers and we were all told to write jokes ter calm the inner soul - know what am sayin!!!!!!
PS I can't think of any alternative names for any of the spice girls but I can tell yer what Tommy Cooper probally would 'ave said about them -
"just like Take That, just like Take That"!!!!!
Chow!
Just to explain one and all
Iv'e cut my finger on a broken tile... I want compo and the following link.
Surely one of them could be called
Lostin Spice (ha ha ha)
Ahem
Plum, you'd have to get a pro-bono lawyer...totally bona fide...
Prof Plum............. sorry about the injury are you sure it's not Nora Batty that you want. I wouldn't want a plaster off Compo.
Wilsmar
Plummy that link had the aero bubble man on it - phoooor!!
need a diet coke break I think
Phew, glad this work day is nearly over. I have had a really, really horrible day here today! You know the kind of day that if someone said 'Boo' you would break down in tears!!
A big thank you for making me smile through it this afternoon guys xxxx
PS. Tinsel, Lostin Spice, love it! x
Oh no, just gone back to look at the aero bubble man and he's not there! I can't watch that advert without getting a stupid grin on me mush. All that talk about melting uncontrollably...mmm...and I'm not talking about the chocolate x
missy - he looks lovely! Drummers arms too - hold on to that one, young lady!!
I've got a "thing" for arms. They have to be arms of a certain ilk ..... Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Steven Tyler .... scrawny arms but with bulk up top. But not muscle. Just bulk. Preferably with a tattoo or two. Other arms of note: Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), Slash - are you getting a picture now?
Lovin' the alternative spicey names. The best so far by a country mile has to be Hungry Spice - I laughed so much my cough went into overdrive!
Also, just want to say how FANTASTIC Pete Doherty looks in today's Sun (other red tops are available ..) Let's hope he manages to stay clean this time. Nice arms too, btw!!
Right, of to mash some spuds. No chubby club tonight on account of the volume of orange fizzy stuff I've downed this week.
Til tomorrow .....
CtD xxx
PS: Happy Hump Day everyone!
Cheryl the Diva- he does have drummers arms, nice and very strong, which is good as when the m.e is playing up he can carry me!
Love the spice girls names. We should all have spice after our names.
Diva Spice, Bingo Spice, Prof Spice Em Spice and Hazel Spice!
Hope you are all fine and dandy! Love to you all.... Missy Spice xxx
Morninall!
The sun is out Debbie, it HAS to be a better day today...
I have no idea who the aero bubble man is...can anyone help? Badger decided last eve that he is going to audition for Fat Coke Break Bloke...try saying that without yer teef in!
Missy...hope the arms are holding up...sorry couldn't resist that one...and yes, the boy is a ceiling fixer, so has LOVELY arms (and shoulders, show 'em off) and a lovely tat...and that's enuffo that...big badger cuddles...all lovely!
Plumster, I hope the digit is healing this morning. I also hope that it isn't the thumb you use for hitch-hiking...else you'll be going the wrong way...
Lostin Spice - blinding! Tinsel, gold star and a house point!
Phoenix, have you thought of some scorchers overnight?
Golly, I'm on FIRE today
love
hazel

Sorry, I also meant to say...
CtD, sorry you is such a poorly chicken! I mailed you yesterday, but you're not there (obviously) so I hope Mr Diva is taking due care, and paying you due attention so that you can get better soon! Cannae be missing Mr Hughes now!

Greetings Ter ALL Blog Dudes,
Bingo Star ere.
Tinsel - I like that 'Lostin Spice'. Brilliant one.
Question though 'ow der yer get 'Lostin Spice' in an Austen Spice bit like the Austen Alegro!!!!!
I feel lost anyway!
Prof Plum - I checked out yer link, I think they all look pretty good the Spice Girls.
Funny though me fav originally Posh is no me least fav and me least fav originally Scary is no me fav - she's lookin' very good Mel B.
I've always liked top Leo goodlookerthe bubbly Ginger Spice. I thought she was always nice being abit bigger and since she's slimed abit she looks fab too.
I read she was romantically linked/ or friends in the past with CLP too - might be wrong but it's just what i've read.
Good match an Aries & a Leo - CLP Aries of course!!
I think the lost talented though is Mel C, born the day before me - yyesss!!!
'Er brother Paul O'Neill took part in the British Touring Car Championship, (something i'd love so much ter do), a few years ago and even won at least one race if not a few .
Small world & a good bit of talent ter win any races - am tellin' yer!!!!!!
It's a shame as 'e must 'ave run out of funds ter keep racing.
I presume Mel C 'elped ter fund is racing originally but it's so damn expensive motor sport. Crayzee sport!
Clodagh - Yer abit quiet this week. I read yer not speaking ter me.
I presume it's because of me being unable ter find you a squirrel 'itman in the form of Bertwynd Hurricane - I might just be able ter put yer in touch with 'is wife who 'ates squirrels - Wendy Hurricane!
Missy - I likd yer very nice kind comments yesterday. Keep the nic eblogs coming.
PS I 'ope the dating thingy is still going well.
CtD - I've got guitar arms but without the tattatoooos.
It's playin' the 24 fret neck that works the arms like that CtD!!!
Oh well i've ranted on enough now i'll bang me two jokes on abit later.
Chow...... for now!
Morning one and all
Back to demolishing today... thanks for the tip Wilsmar. Yes, have increased my safety gear today. Nora Batty leg protectors, gardening gloves, ski goggles.
HL. You know, I have never thumbed a lift in my life... because knowing my luck I would end up with a serial killer.
Thats not to say I am always unlucky, as I did win a Blue Peter Badge, all fair and square like.
Bingo seems to me in the record industry today it's more about looks than talent.But then I hate all Boy/Girl Bands. Must be an age thing! I am very old.
Did anyone out there win a compo? At any time that changed your life?
Morning gang ..... Diva Spice reporting for Thirsty Thursday.
Still at home today but we are going to see Sean Hughes tonight. I'll make sure I've got a big bottle of water in my bag to ward off the horrific cough that others will undoubetly find so annoying! Going back to work tomorrow - still feel ropey but someone's leaving tomorrow and I really wanna say goodbye - but think I'll duck out of the night on the town tomorrow night.
Still racking my brain for spicey names. Can only think of -
Posh - Twiglet Spice
Ginger - Magazine Deal Spice
Scary - Bad Hair Day Spice
Baby - Sickly Spice
Sporty - Solo Success Spice
I do love the notion of me being Diva Spice tho!
So, CLP's away for another week yet - are we gonna have a book on how many blog posts we achieve by the time His Master returns?
Right, I'm off to watch something brain-numbingly dull on daytime tv! Might have a cheeky afternoon bath later too ....
Ciao bella!
CtD Spice xxxxx
Thirsty greetings........ could I please ask that when you are passing a door you waft it a couple of times to shift this fog, it's taken hours to get in here this morning. Thank you.
Bingo: Clodagh is on holiday with her daughter, I think they have decamped/decanted to the Orient - Blackpool is East of Eire if not Wigan. So she'll probably be trapping something a lot more exotic than squirrels this week.
Wilsmar
PS PUT YOUR BL**DY LIGHTS ON!
Hi everyone,
Well, we are getting through the first week without Chris - but it has not been easy!
Bingo - just to let you know, Clodagh is on holiday this week with her daughter. I tried several times last week to leave a message for her, but the blog was really playing up.
Loved all the names for the Spice Girls, very funny, wish I could add something!
Missy - your fella looks lovely. I think drummers and the very heart and soul of any band!
Happy Thirsty Thursday everyone!
C xx
No aerobubbles...no flash player...am destined to never see this incredible sight...the badger and I have been forced to cancel our order for our Lear Jet as we didn't win the lottery last night either...
However, the sun is still shining and there are several buns cavorting...so not all bad...
Not all
love
hazel
x
Bingo, I'm looking forward to later then!
CtD, you'd be best advised taking a flask mate, coffs tend to be stifled better with a hot drink rather than cold...give him a larf from me x and surely a medicinal one or two can't hurt tomorrow eh? Spesh after all the orange fizz...
My BL**DY LIGHTS ARE ON
HL - thanks for the tip vis a vis hot drinks and coughs. I'll go headlong into the pan cupboard and hunt out the tartan Thermos toute suite!
Winning stuff: when I was about 14 I won 2 tickets to see Wham! at the Hammersmith Odeon on their Club Fantastic tour, plus a promo copy (sadly unsigned) of the album of the same name. I was over the moon as lots of my friends were going but my mum and dad had just split up so money, as Mick Hucknall would say, was too tight to mention. It was my first concert and I lost my voice screamimg at Mr Ridgeley (George was still the ugly one at that stage!). I've never been able to look at a shuttlecock in the same light since ...... happy dayz!
Still love going to concerts. Before Christmas we're off to see Alice Cooper (my HERO!), Marilyn Manson and Take That. Diverse - yes. Fun - of course!
Just seen a rare sight out of t'kitchen window ... the lesser known species of Postman. How strange is that?!?!
Lovely day here in sunny Suffolk, btw.
Laters amigos.
CtD x x
PS: Watched the first episode of the new series of Ugly Betty - it was soooooooo sad - I cried into my orange stuff.
Surely:
Cinnamon
Chilli
Cardomon
Turmeric
and last but not least cumin!
Cannot remember ever winning anything.
Nev
Ah, winning things -
When I was at junior school I won a Selection Box in the school raffle, does that count????
And I was a runner up in a Blue Peter 'Design a Train' competition in the sixties, got a BP badge. My 2 older bros had also entered with what they thought were much better designs, and they didn't get anything - ha ha ha ha, I loved it!!!!
Mines a rum and coke please :-)
xxx
Tee hee Tinsel your lostin spice was really funny.
Nev you nicked my spices again - please return them to the kitchen.
Hazel - the aerobubbles man is every bit as good as the original diet coke break window cleaner..... Think daniel craig wading out of the sea and you're getting there.
Don't think much of the bloke in the lift diet coke ads though.....
I had my lights on this morning the fog along the harbour was really eerie - good job the tall ship Prince William wasn't still in I'd have been thinking I'd gone back in time.
Hot Spice
vindaloo spice
balti spice

Yo Ter ALL,

I writted a blog earlier and me computer crashed just as I was going ter send it - i'm sure Peter Kay iz 'acking inter me computer.
KAY....... NO!!!!!!!!
Chrissie, Hazel Love, Prof Plum, Wilsmar and everyone else me jokes ere again but first....
I'm so glad ter 'ear Clodagh iz on 'oliday.
With the squirrel incident with Bertwynd Hurricane I thought I mean't 'ave sent 'er, TOTALLY nutty, over the edge and I don't mean U2's The Edge!!!!
I might be able ter put 'er in touch with 'is wife who 'ates squirrels - Wendy Hurricane!!!!!
Prof Plum - i've got some comments about talented singers - i'll bang it on the blog Fri probs!!
Missy - thank you for your kind comments yesterdee.
PS 'ope the dating thingy is still going good.
ONE FROM ME & ONE NOT FROM ME :

Marriage is a wonderful institution,
But who wants to live in an institution?

Chow!
PS - Sorry bad ones terday & i've just e-mailed them ter Wrightie too...... so if 'e sounds a little unbalanced on air terday... yer know why!
Hearty thanks to all the wafters...... the fog has moved on. Ms L - save your battery and put them lights out - and thank you for your consideration. More new baby news.... my friend has hatched her first, a son - 00.10 this morning 8lb 1oz Charlie Paul. I was at a funeral this time last week so if anyone is up for a wedding for my set???? I shall bake the cake, let me know which spices you want putting in.
Wilsmar
PS Time for a cuppa ................ and I've got cherry bakewells and nobody seems to want one! Can't be too soon after lunch Shirley?
A man walked into a tavern, went to the bar and ordered a beer. "Certainly, Sir, that'll be a one pence." "One pence?" the man exclaimed. He glanced at the menu and asked: "How much for a nice juicy steak and a bottle of wine?" "A pound," the barman replied. "A pound?" exclaimed the man. "Where's the guy who owns this place?" The bartender replied: "Upstairs, with my wife." The man asked: "What's he doing upstairs with your wife?" The bartender replied: "The same thing I'm doing to his business down here."
Wilsmar
PS No animals were harmed in the telling of this tale.
Wilsmar,
I do love your jokes. I have dined out royally on the joke you told last week about the guy with the pints of Guinness! Sorry, but I sort of stole it!
Also Bingo - any jokes from the Marx Brothers I will welcome - genius stuff!
C xx
Intit right gradely when you can have a proppa cuppa tea. Have just enjoyed Bingo's latest offerings with what is possibly the best PG T1ps I've had all week...ironically made for me by my colleague who is not known for his prowess with the leaves.
In the meantime, a diet coke break seems to be surrounding me this afternoon. My cup runneth over...the same colleague with the tea - his car has broken down (shame, but that's what you get for slagging my car off...when a J reg Volly is all you can afford and at least mine goes (well at least for the moment we only got it last Sat after the Badgermobile's cambelt imploded)) and there is a rather delightful A (I said pardon) A Man clutching spanners and all sorts.
Just the right amount of grubby and oooooh dearie me yerssssssss...
I'm not that keen on DC lift man either. Don't really do the hairy tummy thing, and as my dear Step-dad would say 'his eyes are a bit close together...makes you wonder what he's trying to look at...'
Please put my name on a Cherry Bakewell
love

Bingo...... forgot to say yesterday. Hope the house move was relatively painless. Happy days in your new home.
Wilsmar
PS Ms L - get the kettle on and open a window quick....... I'm ready to launch your bakewell. I've put extra icing on to keep the cherry from flying off - enjoy.
Babies blimmin everywhere! Congrats to your friend wilsmar! And the equivalent of FOUR bags of sugar. Brave girl.
Have dropped a series of bright shiny things out in the car park in the hope that the Ah Ah Ah man bends over to pick them up.
Well you can hope

Hope he didn't see me gorging on the last bit of Mr Kiplings finest...
Oh, and it appears no one has told me that I've got a bit of thing (product unspecified) hanging from the side of my mouth. Thanks guys. And I have no idea how long it's been there either.

Good Morning Gingembre........ I hope you have
a note - you've missed The Register.
Hazel it's only your tongue so don't try and brush that away. I did try to get the trajectory right with that there bakewell to stun the @@ man for you. A quick bit of chest pumping and blowing in his ear - if you feel up to it. No wonder I'm off the netball team.
Wilsmar
PS There are four bakewells left - I could always lob another?
DIY SOS one and all
Ok the kitchen tiles have gone and three generations of kitchen flooring removed. A dustbin stands in the middle with a lucky dip of building rubble.
Then, the plasterer comes around, not long before he starts sucking his teeth and telling me that it will cost 拢1200 to do the job. He asks me what I think. Now I felt like saying "Are you having a laugh" Not impressed by my face he then said it could do it for about 拢1000.
Why do these people try and rip you off!
Plastering now how hard is that?
Least the jokes on here made me smile.
Toodle oo
Good morning people............... it's ARF and the weekend has opened it's door - and kept the fog out. Now any "half empty" glass folk please avert your eyes - I've been on the market and shall be putting me sprouts on to cook tomorrow at approx 14.37 ...... I think that should have them at the right consistency for Christmas dinner. Will shortly be attempting to catch me turkey but I'll have to knit a large net first. Hazel can I borrow those Marguerite patterns please?
Take care out there folks.
Wilsmar
Good morning my fellow scribers
Hope today finds you all fine and dandy?
Wilsmar - thanks for noticing!! I don't have a note/excuse that's valid really. Bloomin' work gets in the way sometimes - how very dare it!
A great weekend of sport looms, the egg-chasers could reach the world cup final and Estonia should be dispatched with relative ease to make the Russia game a bit more exciting!
Norwich City are on the hunt for a new gaffer, my home town club will no doubt do it 'on the cheap' again.....when will they ever learn? I was then going to type that it's a good job I support Spurs, but our present league position is nothing to crow about???
My mum celebrated her 60th bday this week and we're having a party tonight which should be fun. Hope the knee stands up to the rigours of the beat?
Will check in later, have a great day/weekend y'all

Chris , i just thought I would tell you that I still laugh about something you said on radio years ago .... do you remember ? it was a very simple thing but so funny...... the queen was visiting a little old lady in a little terrace house for some reason for tea and cakes and you said i think the little old lady should rope off areas of the house so that the Queen can look round but can't go near things like the cooker etc .....like a stately home visit , I just imagine the queen walking round a tiny house still with areas corderend off and the little old lady sitting in a chair with a cup of tea watching ......thanks for being so sane and providing a really relaxing few hours each day ....Jane

Good Morning,
Really looking forward to some jokes today, the last couple of day's jokes have been cracking! Keep 'em coming.
Feel a bit horrible and down today, don't know if it's lack of sleep, weather, my back ache. Just didn't want to get out of bed today. I feel like I want those big blue arms from that soup advert to appear at the moment. Sitting here in this office on my own all day certainly isn't going to help!
Maybe I need and @@ man or gardener to admire from this window. Need something!!!!!
Anyway, taking me miserable self off to do some work now. Catch up with you later x
PS CtD, hope that you enjoyed Sean Hughes last night x

Firstly wilsmar, I'm shocked you've not got your sprouts on already. Frankly. I've even disabled our extractor fan so that the whole block of flats will soon be able to enjoy their festive aroma!
Secondly, Plum. That sounds exorbitant. The badger is a skilled profeshnial and works on a day rate as I'm sure your bod does, and on badgers highest rate he should be there for about 6 1/2 days! Way over-charging in my opinion...unless you do have a massive kitchen and it is gonna take him that long! There aren't any plasterers round our way who charge more than about 拢130 per day, and it ain't cheap to live here. I'd get a couple of quotes if I were you...in the meanwhilst, I hope your injury is healing!
Other news. Apart from low flying cherry bakewells, relatively dull here this morning. Am suffering from blue flashing in one eye which, dear friends, is not caused by having a squad car parked outside. Oh no. The badger was pouring house-double gins down my neck last night and although I know I could (other options available) have said no, I didn't, so all self-inflicted, and it was a jolly evening!
Elsewhere, the weather continues.
We are having goose

Gingembre, you forgot zingiber spice! Otherwise I think you were pretty on the button! Has anyone let VB know that she's got a couple of ends hanging from her dress?
Well my day is going from bad to worse. I think that I may have to look for another job to be honest. I've not been happy here for a while, I've only been here 6 months! Something has happened today that has made me feel that I can't keep working here. CtD, think I must be having a 'portacabin moment' just had a good cry and getting my thinking cap on now. Maybe before Christmas isn't the best time to change job I just don't know.
Hope you are all having a better day! x
Roll on 5pm x
Ello Ter Each & Every Blog Dude,
Bingo Star ere.
ChrissieS, Hazel Love, Wilsmar & everyone else gladthe jokes are entertaining you!!!!
Wilsmar - Great joke yesterday - 'eardsimilar before but still made me laugh big stylee & the 'ouse move is still going on. Plus were i'm moving too is complicated, too stressful ter explain since I found out The Furtado iz taken!!!!
Prof Plum - I 'ate tradesmen thatalways over charge. That's why I did most of the jobs on my 'ouse meself. A bag of plaster is only 拢4 from B&Q, just it's getting themix just right ter get a smooth finish, talkin' of smooth finish, that Kimi Raikonen, Ferrari F1 driver, very smooth style of driving!!!!
I was gonna mention about the X-Factor. I've been watching it and a few jump out as possible winners ter me.
I think the 14yr old girl Emily is very good, definate top 3!!!!
But my money is on 22yr old Andrew from Newport - very talented, I think e's the winner.
Mind you that other dark girl with the big 'air is very good and charismatic.
19 yr old Kimberley top 6 - easy plus the two extra bands the Walsh put tergether were very good especially the girl group - very like the Pussycat dolls.
Talkin' of Girl groups I can give the astrological alternate names for the Spice Girls :
'ow about - POSH - ARIES SPICE
BABY - AQUARIUS SPICE
SPORTY - CAPRICORN SPICE
SCARY - GEMINI SPICE
GINGER - LEO SPICE
Chow!
PS I'll bang me jokes on later again...... gotta shoot off..... i'm late!
Dear Prof P - I think you should contact Badger Rescue HQ - not only can he plaster your walls and ceiling but if there's any Gin for pouring he could get you plastered too! Gingembre - you are the PC to can handle a beat...... just leave your truncheon at the door. Debbie it's only the weather that's miserable ....... and for you ....
A Priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a Rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of a university. They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop. One day someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear. One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it. Off they went on their mission. Seven days later they're all together to discuss the experience. Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation." Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and with an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he exclaimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising The Lord." They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IV's and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape. The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Hello gang - sniffly snuffly Diva Spice reporting for Blog Duty!
Well, I'm back at work. Still can't breath properly but hey ho - I'm alive!! They missed me loads, apparently. Hurrah.
Sean Hughes last night was brilliant!! Sadly, the huge venue wasn't sold out, which dampened the atmosphere a little but those of us who did make the effort truly appreciated his comicly dark mind. Rants included being 41 and single, putting the bins out, "pay-for" tv in hotel rooms, elderly parents, snogging Eileen in Corrie ..... really, really funny. He did about 2 hours, which is impressive for a one-man show.
So - the weekend looms large. Nowt much planned in Diva Towers apart from LOADS of sport (england footie and rugger on the same day, then Moto GP on Sunday). And a carpet picnic Saturday night to Strictly Come Dancing.
Also found out this morning that MotoGP rider Norrick Abe was killed in a road accident earlier this week. He was only 32 and one of the sport's true greats. A very sad loss to motor sport and bike racing.
So - onwards and upwards.
Laters mon amies.
CtD xxxxx
(Aw Debbie) I think it's the start of SAD season, and for those of us who tend to suffer from the blues anyway, it doesn't help. i've been feeling increditly tired - just started taking an iron supplement actually, in the hope that it will perk me up - ithe daily dose I'm taking is meant to have the equivalent to eating 2lbs of spinach, so I should be like Popeye soon!!!
At least it's Friday

Hello Bloggers xx
The jokes and alternative spice names over the last few days have been very amusing - thanks for sharing them!
Gingembre - my very first football match was to see Spurs at White hart lane, my ex hubby was, and probably still is a big fan! It was back in the days of Gary Linekar......I even went to see them parade the cup! Happy birthday to you Mum hope she has a lovely time at the party!
CtD - Sorry to read you have been poorly, sending you lots of get well soon wishes xx I've just purchased my carpet picnic goodies for Saturday nights strictly viewing :o)
Debbie & Tinsel - sending you both some sunshine to help brighten up your day.....we don't have any here in Glasgow but I'm going to magic it out of the sky.........my boss seems to think I have magic powers!! Thought I would try putting it to the test! :o)
Wilsmar - thanks for saving me a portion of spagetti xx
Missy - loved the photos! Take care xx
Bingo - hope you are settled in your new abode!
Prof Plum - Agree with Hazel and Wilsmar, you are being seriously overcharged! My brother is in the same line of work and like Hazel's badger has a daily rate which is way under what you have been quoted. I agree you should get more quotes!
Hello to anyone I haven't mentioned - don't like to leave anyone out :o)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Only one more week to go.....hooray! Mind you Chris being away has given me a chance to listen to some CD's, currently playing the new Proclaimers album.....excellent!
Take care all
Mary xx
Ah, bless your heart wilsmar! Badgers don't do plastering, they do ceilings, and I'm sure, that unless the Prof's tile removal went badly awry, she already has one of those...
Anyhoo, Debbie! From one who is sitting in a portacabin perpetually situated in a howling (other types available) gale due to it's position, I HEAR YA LOUD AND CLEAR! I had a bit of a boo yesterday morning (not at work, but it kinda carried through the day and is kinda sorta work and home related but all is ok really) which was badger's main reason for taking me out last night. If you hate it though, bite the bullet, and if there isn't anything there at the moment, it just means that it isn't there yet...we're all here though!
So. Did anyone catch any of Peter Serafinowicz last eve? Particularly the X Factor bit. Tsk tsk but really funny and the girl playing cat or whatever the girlie presenter's name is, was very good too...I'm more a Strictly Come Dancing gal meself...
...and finally, Bingo, if they are truly the star signs of les femmes epice, you are WAY too much of a swot...but if they were shoes...
Posh - slingback spice
Ginger - trainer spice
Baby - bootee spice
Sporty - pump spice
Scary - nu-rock spice
My word, half past one already. Thank goodness.

Gingembre, big happy 60th Birthday to Gran'ma Gingembre. I think as long as you just stick to the basic (thin blue) line dancing and don't try any doh-si-doh-ing or fancy grape vines, you'll probably manage to shake your groove thang...
ps Bingo, I think I missed the bit where you said you were moving home. Good luck matey!

Be happy.

Yo Ter All,
Bingo Star ere.
Thanks for all of your kind words about me new abode, but it's not really me new abode - i'll tell more on Mon, it's abit complicated, i'm mega busy at work terday but 'ere's terday's jokes -
ONE FROM ME & ONE NOT FROM ME :
Me local commercial radio station said they can reach everybody, they are a strong medium,
So I 'ad a cup of tea and took me left over tea leaves there for a reading!!!!!!
Only probs radio reception dialed 999 - ain't know why?
BINGO STAR 2007.
When I first said I was going to be a comedian people laughed at me,
Now that I am one, nobody is laughing any more!!!
BOB MONKHOUSE (Sometime between 1928 & 2003)
Chow!
PS 'ope everyone 'as a spiffa of a weekend in all areas - know what am sayin'!!!!
Wilsmar, the joke was brill. Looking forward to the next one already!
Thanks Tinsel, hope the supplements work for you. I seem to remember hearing that fish oils where good too.
Mary, Hazel, thanks too x
I find working alone so difficult to be honest. Not that I'm just looking to sit and chat of course, but miss the company.
I'm not the most confident of people which may be fairly obvious. I was made redundant after 10 years last January and was offered this job the same day! Very lucky I know but not sure that it's working out. The thought of interviews is a bit nerve racking, where do you go to get a bit of confidence I need some!
Gingembre, hope that you enjoy the party. Was going to say enjoy the 'knee's up' but you better keep them under control x
Bingo, good luck with your new home x
Back later xx
Hello All - Happy ARF
Haven't been able to post for days and days as have been horribly busy at work (doing one and a half jobs at the moment, but hopeful it will end up in shiny, new job for me.....)
Anyway, this got sent to me t'other day and made I laugh out loud....
Several men are in the locker-room of a golf club. A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello."
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and I've found this beautiful leather coat. It's only 拢1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2008 models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "拢65,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking 拢950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer 拢900,000."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."
The man hangs up.
The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.
Then he smiles and says: "Anyone know whose phone this is?"
Yadda, yadda, yadda...
Lovely to hear you all recently even if not been able to join in....
jx
PS May complete next Friday (OHMYGAWD!!!)
Hello one and all
Thank you so much re plastering tips. I will be getting more quotations as it's hardly a big kitchen.
Must say this DIY milarky beats going to the Gym!
Bingo X fACTOR Winners would have to be Andy or Daniel for me.
Hope everybody has a fab weekend
Oh boy, the lady that used to do this job popped in after lunch. Turns out that there is something that I should have been doing, that I haven't. Not sure of the repercussions yet but know that if/when my boss finds out he will go mad!!! I mean he swears and gets all red in the face, not nice at all.
He isn't back until next Friday so I have all that time to worry about it. Happy days!
Have a good'un everyone x
PS. Ta CtD x
j, please ensure you are wearing false nails! You must be SO excited!
Anyhoo, it's been fun. Have lovely weekends all. Thank you for the fab jokes! I'm cr@p at meremberembering jokes, but the pub one went down well with the landlord last eve!
So, the last thing King Harold said?
Careful with that arrow lad, you'll have somebody's eye out...

Thank you one and all
For all the plastering tips.... now I have no ceiling and have no walls just a sink and a cooker from hell. But Hey.. all this demolishing is better than the Gym.. plays havoc with me nails though....
Laters.
PS Bingo, Andy to win for me.
HL . Might need to borrow Badger is he a relation of Timothy Hedgehog?
HL - no nails left! Am too butch to cope with false nails, one and only time I got to play with them I'd chipped and lost one in less than half an hour. Rest slowly fell by the wayside within the week...
Bingo & Prof Plum, all of them!!! Love it.
Congrates to England's rugby team but I am sad to see Les Bleus depart.
Monday and I've got a meeting at 8:30 - how uncivilised is that.
Good week to all,
Jx
morning team CLP!
well done to the football and rugby teams for Saturday's efforts - top job!
Mum's party went well, forgot all about the knee due to the alcohol consumption...
...suffered Sat night at work tho'!!!
It's the folks 40th anniversary today and we'[re off for a meal at The Racecourse tonight (nothing to do with horses!!)
Indirectly met missy on friday, we know each others real names now! She's sooo in love with her new man... you go girl x
LOve to you all, nothing more to add today, sorry x
KWx
Hi everyone,
One more week until half-term yippee! I am SOO tired, I need a couple of lie-ins and I'll be fine!
My little sis got married on Saturday and her new husband cried throughout and set me off! They've had a bit of a rollercoaster relationship, but anyone who saw him looking at her when he made his speech could see how much he loves her. Married life isn't always easy but I admire them for making that committment to eachother and their little boy. I danced all night and my feet are still killing me! I hate getting older, my body just won't do what I want it to!
Gingembre - hope your knees held up on Saturday!
Hope everyone else had lovely weekends too,
Em xx
Alwight Ter ALL Blog Operatatives,
Bingo Star ere.
Thanks for your words of goodluckness about me new abode, MWK, Debbie, Hazel Love and everyone else but it's abit complicated as everything in the Bingo life.
I'm actually not moving inter me new abode but inter me old abode..... yeah!
I'm 'aving ter sell me new 'ouse due ter relationship breakdown and as moving in with Nelly Furtado at 'er mansion of musical might 'as gone outta the window, due to 'er running off with the Timberlake, sorry Timberland, I'm 'aving ter move back in with me parents at me old abode - stress I ain't need!!!!
But thanks anyway for your kind words!!!
J - Liked your joke on Fri (comment 113) - painful for the owner of the phone.
Prof Plum - Typical we put comments on about the X-factor and it wasn't damn on due ter Rugby - still well done ter England!!!
I was gonna mention about yer plastering. Sounds a big job the ceiling. All that plasterboard thingy - I'll give yer a tip on 'ow i'd do me ceiling.
Chicken wire nailed ter the joists followed by paper mache slapped all over. Wait for it ter dry then sand it smooth. Then pollyfiller ter fill the indentations followed by a thin skim of well mixed plaster ter make it look....... spiffing!!!!!
All for the cost of the local free newspaper!!!!
PS - Very sorry ter hear about Jason Plato being involved in an accident while filming for CH5's 5th Gear programme. He recieved quite bad burns around his neck but still took part in yesterday's final round of The British Touring Car Championship (on his 40th birthday) and sadly missed winning the championship by 3 points.
The poor bloke must be feeling dizzy after everything happening in the past few days - hope he isn't in too much pain and makes a speedy recovery soon.
PPS - I thought Jeremy Clarkson's comments on Top Gear last night were sick about Jason Plato. There's one thing getting a laugh but not when someone has been seriously injured and possibly scarred for life.
One thing I won't write is so called humour that is derogatory to others or that involves swearing every other word - not clever humour at all.
PPS - I'll bang me jokes on..... later... yyyyesss!!!
Chow!
OMG can't believe missy and gingembre have met up without me, I'm feeling left out! Bet you can't guess my real name ha ha!!
Debbie - meant to say, maybe you need a change of career ie childminding. I like being my own boss, and the nice thing is you're available for your kids if they need you (and you can earn pretty good money).
Em xx
Happy Mondays one and all
I'm getting hooked on the documentry channel... no sport .. just lots of mysteries of UFO's and Human self combustion. Fascinating stuff.
Feeling a bit down as Cilla has left Coronation Street.
Surprised Lulu has not approached ITV for a part before now. She could be a new Elsie Tanner or Ena Sharples.
Bingo thanks for the plastering tips. Sounds just like making paper mache masks... Might give it a go myself. Sorry to hear about your enforced move though.
Which reminds me of the Heather Mc Cartney thing. Why does she need all that pay out? I would rather walk away with nothing and my head held high.
Buenos Dias
Happy Monday one and all,
Gingembre - I think we need slightly more info re: meeting Missy! Did you just instinctively know each other? What happened?!
Em M - how lovely for your sister. It's wonderful to see people who are really in love. A few years ago, my niece got married and just as she was about to take her vows, she started to cry, she was so, so happy. The rest of us were in a complete mess crying along with her!
Bingo Star - I agree about Jeremy Clarkson. I really think it's just his way of speaking though. He's always so dismissive of everything!
Sorry to hear your circumstances, but you are a lucky guy that you have support from your parents. I really wish you well.
Hope everyone else is ok today.
C xx
Good Morning all,
Hope you are all well and had a good weekend.
I have to call my boss who is on holiday in New York later and I'm so nervous about it. I find him so intimidating and I'm worried that he will shout at me when I call. Wish me luck!
Bingo, sorry to hear about your circumstances with the move. Sending you very best wishes x
Em M, how lovely. I love a happy ending x
Gingembre, glad you had a good night at the party.
Everyone else, have a nice day!
xx
aaah, I need to clarify my 'meeting' with missy!!!
I was looking on 'facebook' (poss other websites available) for any old friends/members of staff from previous jobs and came accross her.
I sent a message and she replied to confirm, thus we could then see each others profiles.
Em M - there wouldn't be a face2face without you there - don't worry
KWx
Ello,
Bingo Star ere.
Thanks for your kind comments about me break up.
It's been a difficult time but i'm ok.
We've sort of split up slowly over a year or so, so at least it wasn't sudden.
We are both ok about it and keeping it very amicable and friendly - no bad feelings between us.
Looks like i'm probally gonna gotta go ter Ukraine ter find meself a wife!!!! LOL!!!!
PS Love Micheal Palins tv programme about Europe lately - goes ter show just 'ow we are all one world and there should not be any toleration of wars in the world!
People are really just the same whatever nationality there born under.
PPS Debbie - I could get Bertwynd Hurricane ter phone yer boss - that would leave yer boss quackin'!!!!
Ere's terdees jokes -
ONE FROM ME & ONE NOT FROM ME :
I've recently been visiting me local slimming club,
So far i've lost 3 stone.
If anyone finds them, ones a Jennifer Lopez, damn it - sorry Topez.
One a athiest, damn it sorry amethyist,
the third iz a malachite!!!!
Marconie man - any chance of playing Black Stone Cherry and When The Weight Comes Down. Heavy tune - am tellin' yer!!!!!

No longer completing on Friday - now got a friend's funeral to go to. Tubulent times, dudies, jx
Bona apres midi lovely people...
Have been bonkers bizzee today, and have only just had the time to get on here for about as long as it takes to type this...
Prof, only in the 'Merrie Tayles of Woodland Folke' sense. If you gave the Badger to a small child to cuddle themselves to sleep with, you'd probably be kept awake all night yourself, dishing out the baby calpol...however, should you REALLY feel the need, you are welcome to borrow him.
In fact, the way he's going at the moment, you could probably keep him!
Sounds as though you've all started Monday with a veritable spring in your steps! And there's young Kissy Missy getting all virtual with D.C.I. KW. What next???
Me? Can't wait til 5 o'clock
love
hazel

J - sorry to read about your sad news. How horrible for you xx
But before I go, Bingo, sorry to here of your enforced move. Hope it does go smoothly for you! I had a brilliant holiday with my mum, but I doubt if either of us could live with the other, for longer than a week! Good luck to you!
j, what a shame - both for your completion and of course for your friend. Thinking of you.
love
hazel

HL. How kind of you to loan the Badger, however I don't have much calpol in at the mo. Besides I have heard that stuff can be dangerous in the wrong hands...... might kill my Mr Angry ...
Buenos Noches.
j...so sorry x
Bingo - hope it all works out mate
Good news for Gingembre today.
I have been booked in for an MRI scan tomorrow morning.....
....the tension mounts?
KWx
Gingembre- Now now making it seem we have met in person. Cheeky! And what is this about an MRI scan? Hope everything is ok.
Em M- if there was a meet up you would definatly be meeting up with us! silly billy!
I'm inpresses Ginembre caused such a stir with our so called meeting! The cheeky monkey he is!
Hazel Love- Love my new name. Althought haven麓t had a kiss off the fella for a while as haven麓t had the chance to see each other but thursday he will be getting a kiss or 3,4,5, etc!!!!
Hope you are all well, missy xxxxxx
Well. Chewsday once again. Looks like we've dun with sun. It is a really odd light here, and the sky looks heavy laden.
So, twenty years ago. The great storm. Our chimney blew down, and then our house was on telly as we only didn't die because the people in the top flat had left the baby's bedroom door open for the landing light, and the two and a half tons (proper tons - none of yer metric lightweights) of remaining brickwork, rather than crashing through four Victorian floors to our basement abode, was balanced there upon...so thank you lady upstairs!
That baby will be 20ish now, and won't remember a thing. From what I recall, it didn't even wake up.
Odd that
love
hazel
x
Wow - HL - on such wierdie things does life balance (balance, geddit!!!). Fate's strange indeed.
My memory of the storm 20 years ago is of arriving at work after my usual bus journey and being really surprised that I was only the second person there. Storm, what storm, I asked. Got sent home and could not believe the destruction all around. Couldn't believe I hadn't seen any of it on the way in either! Never have been very bright and alert in t'mornings...
Ging, hope the scan goes ok.
Bing, good luck with the move. Can I borrow the van after you please....
Clodagh - where are you? Are you the Ms Rubbish oft referred to on Togsworld?
jx
Hazel - incredible to think that so much is down to fate, isn't it? If the baby's bedroom door had been closed ....... best not to think about it!
It's amazing to think it's been 20 years - that time has zipped past in a flash. Then, the biggest problem in my life was making sure I could get the best seats available to see
Level 42! I want those days back again!!
Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Alwight Blog Friends,
Bingo Star ere.
J - Very sorry to hear about your bad news yesterday & thanks for your kind words.
Believe me yer don't want to use me van after me after what I will 'ave 'ad in it - am tellin' yer!
Hazel Love, CtD & Gingembre - Thanks again it is all working out at present.
I've just gotta keep going with everything I do in life - me hobbies, music, humour, writing, i'll keep plodding on and like i've said before whatever anyone is going through in life it does get better in the end - so i'm keeping POSITIVE - just me elecie bill 'as gone through the roof!!!
But big thanks anyway to all of the kind words from everyone. Gracious errr.... errrr...... gracious!
ChrissieS - I love Level 42. It's too high up for theives ter be bothered to steal me car. Just it takes forever driving back down ter the way out and pay machine - know what am sayin'!!!
I also love the band - great geetar, bass and vocals, don't 'ear enough of them on the radio nowadays!
PS I'll bang terdees jokes on....... errr now... yesss!!!!
ONE FROM ME & ONE NOT FROM ME :

At least Wright man iz doing 'is bit ter be a eco friendly top spinner of the discs!!
Chow!
I have an excuse note honest - I too have been really really busy and not been able to blog from home due to the BT exchange upgrade on my broadband somehow cutting my network connection - fingers crossed that I might after a week of no connection be reconnected to the mains once more.
1987 I wasn't in the country for - saw all the news though as I was living in Honkers at the time and all we got was typhoons in the season or tropical storms cause they had been downgraded from typhoon.
J & bingo sorry to hear your news both of you. Being ex forces I am used to death and moving around every 2 years so you both have my sympathies. Good on the armed forces at last a memorial to lost souls - three cheers.
Now for something to keep you all going - if you were deserted on an isolated island which has plenty of coconuts and fresh water what three things would you prefer to have and why?
Phoenix
Afternoon to all...... Phoenix I have mused on your three items and why..... and every time I chose an item I could think of loads of others that were just as vital. I had an axe which could be used for building, after cutting down some of the old coconut trees to build shelter it could be used to split open the coconuts and maybe to dispatch any wildlife. Then I thought I would need a receptacle for the fresh water to be able to carry it and keep for drinking. Then I would need something to make a fire etc etc. All them before I even got onto something to catch fish with. So maybe all I need is a fully loaded sailable boat - with crew? - to ferry me either home or to and fro the shops oh, and plenty of cash. I know ...... cop out!
Wilsmar
PS - That there hurricane twenty years ago.... I slept through it - it seems everything rattled in the house except me!
If you're eating read this later...........
An Irishman goes to the Doctor with botty problems.... Doctor, it's me *rse. I'd like you to take a look, if you would. So the doctor gets him to drop his pants and takes a look.
Incredible he says, there鈥檚 a 拢20 note lodged up here; tentatively he eases the twenty out of the man's bottom, and then a 拢10 pound note appears. This is amazing, exclaims the Doctor. What do you want me to do? Well for goodness sake pull it out, man! shrieks the patient. The doctor pulls out the tenner and another twenty appears, and another and another and another, etc.... Finally the last note comes out and no more appear. Ah Doctor, thank you kindly, that's much better. Just out of interest, how much was in there then? The Doctor counts the pile of cash. 拢1,990 exactly.
I reckon that鈥檚 about right, says the patient. I knew I wasn't feeling two grand......
Tarra again.
Wilsmar
Afternoon all
Had MRI on the knee this morning, results later today or tomorrow!
Off to check out a high school tonight as daughter #1 starts next year and there are two options for her, 2nd sch check is Thurssday.
missy - I never said I actually met you in person, I just didn't explain it well. Still it stirred a few up to start the week didn't it?? Hee hee
Em M - I presume your name is Emma or Emily?

Hello one and all
Did anyone see Tels Trousers?
Pheonix, Most important on a desert island for me would be typhoo tea, sky tv, and a wind up radio.
Bingo I am sure Steve Wright appreciates your jokes unless you got on the wrong side of him.
He can be a bit scary, I would not dare do a list of oldies for fear of being ridiculed. But I like him.
Good evening
Just a quick message (short message) as anything of length that I try to post gets BP'ed.
To the Norfolk Poss茅, I shall be in Naridge on Saturday/Sunday, so shall keep an eye out for Kissy Missy on the prowl and Gingembre on patrol on Saturday evening! Believe Mrs DD has booked us in to the olde worlde hotel in Tombland.
DD out
PS Heathcliff, it's me, it's Cathy I've come home!
Prof Plum: Re The Togmeisters Trousers....... yes I did SEE THEM!!!! Haven't seen the prog for yonks but saw the WHOLE THING on Sunday. I noticed the second half of the programme was shot above waist level. Surely it's not a "live" show? Anyway no one died - well maybe a few elderly maidens in the home counties. As the TM himself would say......... it must be a slow news day. Will be attempting a frattata tonight i.e. left overs and eggs...... but will not be consuming it either waiting or travelling on public transport. Now who am I on about.
Wilsmar
Earlie I have to say I has beed BPeed.
Will own up to not being able to think of three things for an isolated desert island apart from a Badger and a harpoon. Else it was similar in a lot of ways to wilsmar's.
Perhaps a knitting patten

Hi all,
I feel quite sad thinking back to twenty years ago, where has all the time gone, and what have I achieved?
Gingembre - You could be right (re my name) and i wasn't really upset about the thought of you and missy meeting up, I was quite excited at the thought of her staggering out of a pub with her young man and you arresting her for drunken behaviour! I think if you had been on duty down St Benedicts on Saturday night you probably would have arrested me, I was a bit rowdy after the wedding! Good luck looking for a school, my son is doing really well now, and I hope you find somewhere as good for your little girl.
Em xx
Missing you already!! Hurry back.
DD - Hmmm, The Maids Head?
Em M - how about me, you and missy (and anyone else?) meet pre-Xmas for a coffee?
....just a thought
KWx
Hope that the school open evening went well Gingembre. I remember those days as though it was just yesterday. He is 16 and doing A levels now...
I have just signed up to facebook, wow it's like a whole new world! Only I don't suppose that anyone I know is actually on there so I will be 'billy no mates'! Hate my picture on the profile though, don't have any decent recent pictures as I don't like having my picture taken really.
Can't believe that the 'Big Storm' was 20 years ago. I was 14 and slept through the whole thing. I just remember having the next day off from school and sweeping up the garden for mum and dad. Since having little man, however, I am the lightest of sleepers and wake at the drop of a pin. Oh to be 14 again....
Totally shattered so off to bed in a minute. Mr Debbie has gone out for a drink with his nephew so I shall make the most of the peace and quiet for a little while I suppose.
Nite xx

Humperdink Morning to all.
My three things would be solar powered laptop with wireless t'internet access (all them books, facts, radio, everything!!!), Ray Mears stylie knife and my pets....
Oh - we exchanged yesterday!
Jx
Gingembre - I don't know, I'm scared that you will all be disappointed when you meet me! Do you remember when all the London bloggers were going to meet up and it was called off because of the bad weather? Does anyone know if that meeting was ever rescheduled? I'd love to hear how everyone got on. I suppose I'm just hoping I'll be in Norwich one Saturday afternoon and we'll all just bump into eachother (unlikely I know, but do you remember when you and my husband were at Bewilderwood at the same time?) These things do happen!
OMG just heard Lyndyloo's message being read out by Sir Tel! Didn't see his wardrobe malfunction until yesterday, how funny! I bet the cameraman did that on purpose, but I don't suppose we'll ever know.
Debbie - are you OK, you "sound" a bit fed up. How's your boss? xx
Em xx
Hi guys,
Em M: thought I would just say that earlier this year I met up with three other Scottish bloggers -EG (Scotland), MWK and SusanS. We had a terrific night together and the great thing about it is - when they do leave a message on the blog, (though we haven't heard from EG and Susan for a while) - I know that I know them! Unfortunately we haven't been able to arrange another get together for many reasons, but we definitely will meet up again. I think you guys should go for it!
Gingembre - fingers crossed for your result today.
j - how exciting for you - if a little scary!
Three things on a desert island: I'd need a radio because I can't live without Terry and Chris. I would certainly need some photographs of my loved ones, and I'm really sorry, I would need to take my husband because I would be terrified on my own!
Have a good day everyone.
C xx
Good Morning,
Glad the school visit went well Gingembre. We had to appeal in the end to get our son into a good school in our area, so it's great that you are all happy with the choices you have. Hope that you get good news today regarding the scan.
Mmm, good point about facebook. I don't suppose a search on Missy or Gingembre is going to do much good is it....
J - congrats on exchanging contracts!
Em M - bless you, is it that obvious? The boss isn't back until Friday so I'm preparing myself for his return. He has a horrible temper and I stood up to him once and it didn't go down too well. I'm not sure that this job is for me and I think I'm just waiting to reach that point where I have really had enough. Could it be this Friday?
Little man stayed in his bed all night last night for the first time in.....I don't even remember! He came running into the room this morning saying 'mummy aren't I a good boy!' So I'm really pleased about that today.
The sun is shinning here in the forest, brilliant!
Have a good day guys xx
Em M

I very much doubt it

Morning everyone - well after a pretty rotten wet windy night last night today is blue skies and white fluffy clouds...
Why doesn't someone set up a group on Facebook and then we could apply to join?
I'm on facebook too as it keeps me in touch with my family who are spread over the world these days.
My 3 choices were:
Axe
Clockwork radio
set of flints
A practical person the Phoenix is indeed.
Speak more later
Debbie when you say forest do you mean the new one?
I would take.....
tweezers
toothbrush and
a sharp knife
to a desert island.
Debbie - good luck, bear in mind what i said about becoming a childminder, its nice being your own boss.
Thanks Gingembre, but bear in mind I already know that missy is a gorgeous twentysomething, while I'm a less than gorgeous fortysomething!
Em xx
Good humpday babies!
Wot a bleedin day I'm 'avin Gavin.
No time to stop and stare
No time to do nuffink dudes
BINGO. one of your best yesterday!
Will catch up later, or when I see myself disappearing round the next corner...

Em M - I'm nearly as old as you, don't worry about it. It's about the person inside x
Phoenix - Debbie found me on there today, goto missy's blog to get her real name and then the rest is easy (or that's what Deb said anyway!)
Not sure how to set up a group but I'll look into it. I've found loads of my old staff (was retail management before current employment) plus people I worked in France with in 1991.
Still not heard from the surgeon - Grrr & Hmph
KWx
Oh boo! My last two comments haven't appeared how rude!!
Ginembre- liking the idea of a pre xmas get together. Could be a laugh.And let me know via facebook about the results. I'm sending you good vibes
Em M- any meet up would ofcourse have you involved!
Love the comment about Gingembre arresting me for drunken behavior!
Debbie- Welcome to Facebook. I feel we should start a group on there!
Saw the fella last night and this morning....
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Hope you are all well. Wow autumn is here, all the leaves are falling from the trees and its gonna be freezing tonight!!!!!!!!!
Keep the comments coming and hello Sir Terry! xxxxx
Bloomin 'eck I think I actually got BP'd for the first time! I have no idea why. The BP are obviously sensitive like my husband, I don't know what I done to upset him half the time!
Phoenix - no, Epping Forest. When I read my post back it sounded like I work up in a tree. In fact I work in a converted barn. Although up a tree sounds quite good at the moment.
Em M - I'll give childminding some thought for sure. I heard somewhere about virtual secretaries so I'm going to check that out too in a minute.
I have been searching on facebook for my school, and my places of work and not one are listed! Very frustrating.
Well let's see if this one makes it through...
Debbie xx
Mornin badee badum...
Thirsty Thursday once again and only four days (I guess, including today, or five including the whole of Monday too...I still can't quite work out how many days til Christmas and I've gotta order a goose) until the lovely Christophle returns to our fair radio waves...HOORAH!
I haven't got access to facebook. Blocked at work and no pc at home so...my ex (not ex enough) left me for some DELETED who he 'found' on Marriages Untied, so I'm all a bit iffy about these sites anyway...
Glad all the visits etc are going well, Gingembre I hope you hear from yer man very shortly! Most frustrating for you I should think...speshully as they're LOOKING at the thing while it's happening! Bring in CSI I say.
Anyhoo, Kissy Missy - it'll be Thursday now then...
Debbie, deep breath and into Friday you will sail!
Phoenix. Some gin. Some tonic. A lemon. Job done.
EEEEEK 0800

Gingembre, Aye that's the place! However, your "hmmm" could appear to raise questions upon our choice. Tripadvisor comments seem to suggest OK, but more than happy to receive some "local knowledge" particularly from the constabulary.
I assume we are not talking the type of establishment that does "rooms by the hour, sir"?
btw, what a great name for a region within Norwich, Tombland, fantastic!
DD out
PS Bobbing around on the outlaws boat at the weekend!
PPS Woolly Pulleys all round, and a shot of something incoholic in the coffee, shipmates!
PPPS We are sailing!
DD - it's a nice hotel, my hmmm was the sound of me thinking!!!!
Tombland has loads of nice bars, reataurants n stuff. Avoid Prince of Wales Road tho' if you don't want to se all the lairy people!!??
Enjoy
KWx
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Why

Why
Every time I post on this blog this week nowt happens.
Not a happy bunny.
Going off to sulk now.
CtD xx
PS: Lost another 1lb at chubby club las night.
DEbbie - I work in a converted barn too!
But in North Essex on the Suffolk border, not Epping!
CtD xxx
Guten morgan one and all
The 大象传媒 is making cuts I see. I hope Mr Evans does not return from his Hols in Blackpool to find he has been replaced by Jim the local club DJ from Watford who loves Brotherhood of Man, Cliff Richard, and Lulu.
Bingo. Hope the move has gone well. And if you look down from the Wirral, Wrighty is on yer left.
Poeple of Norwich, you could all meet up on Halloween, wear masks and guess who is who.
Toodle oo
Prof Plum, thanks for that you really made me giggle over the masks. I could throw a spanner in the works and turn up without one, really scare the locals!!
CtD, good to see you get through today and wow what are the chances of that? Only thing is that I work totally alone in my barn and I find that really hard most of the time.
I did have a bit of a drama yesterday though when a gang of about 20 youths turned up for a party in the forest with carrier bags clinking as they walked past my door. They decided to be a bit of a nuisance, starting bonfires and peering through the windows of the pub next door which was closed for the afternoon. Someone called the police to move them on in the end.
Off to do the school 'scrum' soon so off now, catch up later xx
Debbie - how I envy you. My work is also in a beautiful location but the 8 of us are just not getting on at all well at the moment. It's horrendous. The thought of working alone, in a forest, in a converted barn just sounds so lovely - especially with a pub nearby too....
Fancy a swop?
jx
OK - let's see if this gets thru the BP Brigade ...
My 3 dessert island "things" :-
1 - Russell Brand
2 - Chocolate: lots of it
3 - Sunscreen
Hey ho! Short & sweet.
CtD x x x
DD- There is a really nice pizza restaurant in Tombland called Zizzi's. And a great bar called Ha Ha's. They are my top choices. I'll be watching the fella's band on saturday otherwise we could all have had a little meet up.
Gingembre- any news mate? hope you are ok
Em M- you rock babe
Cheryl the DIVA- How are you lovely?!
HL- I know its thursday, why??? xxxx
Blimey, blog working again.
Very bad day today. Man totally p8ssed off with me for putting daughter's feelings before him. Am I wrong?
i usually try to be cheerful but today I could do with a few cyber hugs.
morning laydees and gentlefolk
Still no news from the scalpel wielding surgeon - not happy to say the least but "no news is good news"???
Tinsel - ((((x))))
Visited another high school last night for #1 daughter (my old one) she now has seen her 2 choices and loves them both - decision time now!
So, Ant n Dec are scamming the public too (or their production team, same difference), hmmm me thinks the only way to stop this is for the public to stop calling and texting in???
Anyhoo, off to work in a bit, let's see what's in store today?
KWx
DD - have a great time, missy is spot on with her suggestions, I'll flash the blues as I drive by!!!
Its Friday!!!!!!!!!!!! After I finish at lunchtime I'm not working until a week on Monday - yippee! Going to see some friends tonight who have kids the same age as ours, its going to be lovely to catch up and have someone else cook and wash up for a change!
Tinsel - obviously we don't know the details but I know I would always put my kids before a man, its what mums do, its called being maternal. Has he got children? If so I'm sure deep down he understands where you're coming from. If not, well that makes things a bit trickier. Good luck sorting this out xx
Missy - you rock too! Where is your man playing this weekend then? Did you say he's a drummer? Lucky you, nice strong arms to do the caveman thing!
Gingembre - any news re the knee?
Hello to everyone else including Hazel and Debbie and co, any news on the baby?
XX
Thank evans it's friday! This week has been about 6mths long...and I am SOOOOOOO looking forward to having a lie in tomorrow I can't TELL you how MUCH dahlings! I feel horrible today, but think I'm just a bit run-down from too many early get-ups and too much walking in the cold for buses. I'm not made for discomfort! And my 'esteemed' colleagues took the p out of my lovely scarf. Am looking forward to going home this aft.
TINSEL!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! (in my opinion anyway) YOU ARE NOT WRONG AND THERE IS A BIG CYBER-HUG ON IT'S WAY THE SECOND I PRESS SEND!
Missy, you mentioned that you were seeing your fella on Thursday, that was all!
Anyhoo...today as previously mentioned is Friday, so to all those finishing oily, you lucky people, and to all those who aren't, I am with you...
Hope the sun is shining on you
love

No news of the baby lately. If any of us hear, we'll let you all know...
heh heh heh...gingembre...flashing the blues...can't tell you what I thought, but it diddenarf make me larf!
Just don't forget to go WHOO WHOO...

Winter draws on
Good morning and good grief isn't it cold out this morning?!? Any typing errors are down to my frozen fingers.
Boss back today, nervous and can't wait to get today over and done with.
J - it must be horrible for you to work with people that you aren't getting on with. Part of my problem here I think is that the girls that I used to work with were so lovely, and I had worked with them for 10 years. I miss their company and support so much.
You never know J, at the end of today this job maybe up for grabs and you can come along and have a go!
Tinsel - Mum's put their kids first instinctively, it's just what we do. Don't feel bad about it, sending big, big, bigs hug your way and hope you feel better as the day goes on xxxx
Bye for now gang, back later x
Happy Sunny Arf Day All,
Debbie - I hope the boss's return is nowhere near as awful as you are anticipating. It takes time in any new job, especially having been so happy in your old job, but I do hope it works out for you.
Tinsel - I think everyone has summed it up perfectly. I'm not a mother but I can so understand that that is just what happens. Look at any mother in nature (well, most - I believe it's the male seahorse that raises the bairns for instance) and that's what they do.... He's a numpty and needs to grow up perhaps.
Well, I'm off to my friend's funeral now - kind of puts things into perscpective a little. It's all very transcient really and not terribly important, so lets just smile cos it's sunny.
Will try and catch you later, guys,
Jx
It's Friday, and Chris is back today for ARF! Ya beauty!!
Tinsel - I think you were absolutely right. Of course, I don't know the details, but in the main our children must come first. xx
Gingembre - it IS starting to looking like no news is good news! As for Ant & Dec, I may be naive but I can't for one moment think they knew what was happening. It is more than their career is worth. But you are right, we should all stop calling in to shows - I stopped doing it about two years ago.
Hope everyone is o.k. today. Only just over 6 hours to go, and then freedom and Chris Evans!
C xx
Tinsel- ofcourse you put the kids first! Oh let him have his moan!
Em M- He's playing somewhere in Gorlston near the Ocean Rooms.
HL- Was going to see him yesterday but he was busy with his new house so seeing him tomorrow, yippee!!!
Gingembre- If there was something really wrong, they would ring asap.
Another autumn day here in Norwich. Getting the chunky cardi out to keep me warm.
Hazel me too!
He he, tell you what Gingembre, if you go flashing in this temperature today everything will be blue!!
xx
Debbie - just a quickie. Have emailed you off blog.
Big Hugs
CtD xxxxxx
Thank choccy it's Friday
Come on England!!
Come on Lewis!!
Come on Eileen!!
Happy Arfday folks....... and sunny greetings to all those that feel the need - it's shining brightly at the moment. It was pitch black when I drew the curtains back this morning but the stars were still twinkling really brightly....... haven't seen that happen at 06.10 before. Hoped the alarm was wrong and I had another couple of hours in the land of Nod. Anyway the weekend is galloping towards us yet again. Perhaps this will get past the Beeepeee's. Best wishes to all those with kid's on half term next week..... for those awaiting hatchlings very best of luck.
Wilsmar
Attempted this earlier in the week but it was BP'd maybe due to bad taste!!!! Hopefully not ....
A woman goes into Harrods to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. The Harrods salesman is standing there, wearing dark shades. "Excuse me". She says, "Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?" He says, "Yes, Madam, I'm completely blind; but, if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound it makes." She doesn't believe him, but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10lb line. It's a good all around combination, and it's on sale this week for 拢44." "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!" She says. As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor. "Oh, that sounds like a Visa card," he says. As the lady bends down to pick up the card, she accidentally f*rts. At first she is really embarrassed but then realizes there is no way the blind salesman could tell it was she who had f*rted. The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be 拢58.50 please." The woman is totally confused by this and asks, "How did you get to 拢58.50? Didn't you just tell me it was on sale for 拢44". "Yes Madam" He replies, "The rod and reel are 拢44, but the Duck Caller is 拢11 and the Fish Bait is 拢3.50
Wilsmar
PS Apologies if after this getting through anyone is offended/affronted..... I think I've used all the ffffff's in the box again.

Chris is back for ARF.....hooray!!
After today I'm on holiday for a week, that calls for a big HOORAY!
Off to Hampshire for a week with my Sister, looking forward to our trips to London - can't wait!
J - sorry to hear about your friend, hope she got a good send off xx
Debbie - hope your day isn't as bad as you expect it to be xx
Tinsel - 100% on your side, here comes the {{{{{{HUG}}}}}}
CtD - hope your cold is better!
Gingembre - No news is good news! Careful with the flashing lol
Re meeting up - I say go for it. As Chrissie said we had a Scottish meet, and a fun time was had by all.
Lots of love to all, take care of you and yours xx
Look forward to catching up when I get back.
Mary xx
Well, I'm still waiting for the boss to arrive at the office. Have to leave soon to collect the two boys from school, take them home and then come back here again! The eldest (who is sixteen) is to look after little man for a few hours. I shall go home to chaos I expect this evening!
MWK - have a fantastic week away won't you x
Bingo - hope the move isn't too stressful for you today x
I was just thinking, Clodagh, Martin, Jillygoat, Sammie and anyone else that we haven't heard from for a little while, hope all's well xx
As Chris is back for a rugby world cup ARF surely there are some suggestions. Mind you I struggle with scrum, line-out, drop kick etc.
Quite a few with TRY in but beyond that....
'A little less CONVERSION' by Elvis perhaps
come on there must be some more suggestions out there!
Nev
Hiya,
MWK - have a lovely week with your sister. I really envy you for your trip to London!
Gingembre - I thought I really must add something after my earlier comment, re: Ant & Dec. My colleague in the office tells me that she saw a news report saying that "they" have it on good authority that Ant & Dec are totally hands on and that there is no way something would be happening on their show and they wouldn't know about it. Well, we live and learn. I said to you earlier that perhaps I am naive - let's change that to being a gullible old fool! I am SO disappointed in them!

Cauliflower Ears by Jimmy Nail

Howya Eejits!!
I'm back safe and sound from the fabulous Far East, a tad jet-lagged, lacking any circulation in me buttocks and with a cauliflower ear after bein' strapped next to the daughter for 14 hours on a plane but hurrah we is bronzed and Bloody Gorgeous. Well, she's bloody gorgeous, I'm bronzed but with a nose like a Jersey Royal, a nasty chafe mark on me coccyx from a rickshaw driver who thought he was Lewis Hamilton and hair that Red Rum would salivate over.
Ah yes. So what've I missed. Apart from Sir Tel's marvellous wardrobe malfunction, bless 'im.
Put me in mind of the lecture I once gave to a group of Fashion students, entitled The Role Of Image Consciousness in Modern Day Society.
With a large pink velcro roller in the back of me head.
And of course, the time I minced glamorously down New York City's Park Avenue in me best skinny jeans, thinking I was summat off Sex And The City, and was stopped by a group of Japanese tourists to pose for a picture of what I thought was a photo of my rather alluring posterior, only to be disabused of this notion by having my attention drawn to the bright red knickers dragging along the sidewalk beneath the leg of said jeans.
Ah no. That's what you get for tryin' to get 'em off over your head after 6 Cosmopolitans and several vodka shots the night before.
Jaysus I'm off. The memory of that has brought on the hot flushes.
Happy ARF everyone and welcome back Christoffe and the Missus.
OH YES. Please welcome my brand spanking new great-nephew Zak, who hacked his way into the world 10 days ago and whom I have just met; and guess what. HE'S A GINGA!!!! HURRAH!!!! How marvellous. Well done Katie.
And fingers, eyes and legs crossed for our Rugger-Buggers.
Clodagh.xx
I'm back - MWK and Debbie, thank you. The send off was beautiful and totally reflected the wonderful, vibrant, loving woman she was.
Debbie - be strong and feel us all behind you...
Nice to have CLP back tonight, and sadly Nev I can't think of any other than 'try' ones ('try a little harder', for instance) but how about 'on a winger and prayer'. Ouch, sorry!
Or 'you can't get me I'm part of the union'
D'you know what, I think I'll stop right there...

I think your show is the best, I listen every night as i leave off work at 5pm. Im not realy computer literate, but i try .

Much regards yvonne
