As from today there is now a qualified pilot in the Evans household but guess what....
... it's not me, she's beaten me to it.
Captain Natasha Evans is now free to roam the skies on her own and everything !
Well done baby, you are the best. (But I am dead jealous)

Many congratulations to Captain Natasha!
I guess it gives her another option if she needs to go off and have a sulk or a think or somewhere to hide your Christmas present...or even the chance to pop somewhere REALLY fancy for lunch!
How lovely being able to fly...
I wish I could fly, right up to the sky, but I can't...
love

Welldone Mrs E! Must be great to be able to just take off and go where you want (Air traffic restrictions obliging) Helicopter next - that is the ultimate freedom of the skies. sigh - just jealous but - nope just jealous.
Missioins statement - I am happy with my life and will not covet my dj's money/accomplishments/talent honest - sigh.
Yo CLP & ALL,
Bingo Star ere.
What's 'appened ter the blog?
There's two identical, which one der we write on?
Looks like damn gremlins/ viruses in the computer system again..... it's all damn stress!!!!
Firstly BIG CONGRATS ter Natasha on getting qualified ter be on the airwaves without being a DJ - know what am sayin'!!!!!!
Secondly I tried ter blog on yesterdees blog about yer bog but it didn't show!
I was tryin' ter say I admire your drive/ enthusiasm for everything you do & taking risk/ trying new things - I think it must be the main secret of your success.
I'm a strong believer in PMT, sorry PMA - Positive Mental Aggrivation, sorry Attitude!!!!
Also I was tryin' ter say CLP man yer should 'ave auctioned 'A Visit Ter Yer Bog' for Children In Need. I might 'ave 'ad a chance in the bidding unlike with the Drivetime Mega Team Party thingy - know what am tryin' ter say!!!!!
As for the picture that makes you say 'Make Extrodinary Things 'appen' I find grapes or prunes do make extrodinary things 'appen ter me when I visit any bog - know what am tryin' ter say!!!!!!
Seriously though Chris keep up the PMA & the brilliant work!!!!!!
PS Loved the Rainbow tune that started the second 'our of yer show on Tuesday - DAMN WROCKIN'!!!!!
Most shallow Broadcasters/ DJ's would 'ave just gone for Alright 'ow, sorry that was by Free, errr Since You've Been Gone I mean't. Yeah errr, but diggin' deep inter an albums psychedelic properties & playin' All Night Long is the way ter go - abit like Ken Bruce & Simon Mayo do - dig deep for the rarely 'eard tunes!!!!!
Chow!
'ope this 'elps!!!!!
'ope this shows up on the blog!!!!!!
Bloody marvellous Missus E. Good girddl!!
'Course, I myself have had a flyin' lesson. Oh yes. Typically I was crap of course, but by the crin I cut a dash in the flyin' jacket and hat.
Some years ago it was, flew in a little light aircraft from Blackpool airport, what a larf. The best thing was that the instructor allowed me to bring the daughter and the two nieces, aged about 6, up with us and they sat in the back, all pigtails and NHS glasses, whoopin' an' a-hollerin, flyin' round Blackpool Tower. They still remember it with fits of laughter.
Along with the car park in Manchester that spiralled down several floors, which I used to free-wheel down to rapt applause from the back. They remember that too.
Mind you they also vividly recall the caravan holiday we took in the Lakes, when I took them into the village in me little VW via a winding road full of sharp hills and bumps. "Right, girls, hang on to your tums..." says I, taking a run at one such bump which made your tum hit your clack at the best of times. Off we took, airborne for what seemed like 10 minutes, with the view over the precipice beside us looming rather too close for comfort. I swear I frightened meself to death and rather pathetically told the delighted and shrieking trio not to tell the brother-outlaw lest he flayed me alive.
Lesson in life. Never expect excited 6 year-olds to keep a secret. Said brother-outlaw did indeed nearly flay me alive, to this day still calls me Daisy Bloody Duke and has banned all unsupervised trips with the brand-spankin' new little ginga great-nephew Zac. Ha.
Anyway I don't think the Red Arrows have anything to fear from me. Good on you, Tash.
Clodagh.xx
Didn't she do well one and all
Congratulations Mrs E
Who says women are not good drivers!
Parking is easier though as you don't have to reverse.
Just don't watch Air Crash Investigation on the Documentry channel. It's turning me into a nervous flyer.
Bingo- Aquarius was great.
Hazel- Nice to see you back. Thought you had run off with Dr Bones.
Clodagh- No I don't want a lift in your car thanks.
Toodle oo

As mentioned previously. I wish I could fly. But I can't and I'm REEEEEEEEEEALLY wet. So wet I am sitting here steaming.
Mind you, I probably couldn't have taken off this morning due to 'conditions on the coast' and landing would definitely have been a bit of a nightmare, so all things considered the bus was probably a safer bet. But I am really am very wet.
Oh, Clodagh, you always stir a memory...my Uncle Tone used to have a little car with the indicator button in the middle of the top of the dashboard and you had to turn it...during one journey around the country lanes and hump-backed bridges, Taunton somewhere, my cousin and me were fighting tooth, claw and hair, arguing over whose go it was to turn it, and she ended up putting her teeth through her bottom lip on the afore-mentioned dashboard as we sailed over one of the afore-mentioned hump-backed bridges...how we larfed and larfed...
We had a takeaway that night as I seem to remember
love

DWNB, just to say hallo!

Oh my goodness blog, please let me be able to post today. I haven't tried for a couple of days as I got so angry!
Hazel Love- I wish I could fly to. Whatever happened to Orvil?!
Did any Norfolk bloggers get to see Sally traffic last thursday, I heard someone text in the show saying they saw her last week. I wish I could have gone but I was feeling awful and I remember how busy those late night thursdays get!
Yippee, Kylie is going on tour next year! And guess who I'm taking with me?! Yes the 'fella' has promised to go with me! Well someone has got to control me! And then we will make a weekend of it! Should be exciting and like I said to him, if nothing else it will be a truly amazing show. But not long till the Spice Girls show. I have seen some sketches for the costumes and they look great no union jack dress, as they are now Spice Ladies!
Right I'm off to have a rest and then do some tai chi! Keep the comments coming! Missy xx
Well Chris, if weather weren't so bad you'd be joining her up there as well. It's only a matter of time according to Cap'n Young who took me for a beer last night. Well done Mrs E.
HAZEL - GREAT TO SEE YOU, YOU OK?
morning team
MrsW is bed-ridden now having develpoed tonsilitis, she said this morning she was secretly hoping to get the 'whole works' that I had due to the fact I have lost 3/4 of a stone since Friday!!!! - wouldn't really recommend it but I suppose every cloud and all that?
Booked our favourite restaurant (Des Amis) for tomorrow night to celebrate her birthday, hope the pills kick in and we make it there. Decided to give London a miss this week.
So, how are you all? Blog's been a bit naughty this week hasn't it?
missy - did you get to see Sally Traffic?

Thank goodness me blog comentation 'as appeared - I keep getting blog ploiced lately..... blogged last night & it didn't appear til terdee!!!!
Maybe me blogs are classed as somewhat, errr, riskay so 'ave ter get extra screening by the Drivetime Mega Team - know what am sayin'!!!!
CLP - Yer know I only mean 'umour & never write, well not intentionally anyway, malitious blogs!!!
Clodagh - You got another DAMN mention on the show last night just before 18.00 about 'NUTS'!!!!! I'm getting jealous all these mentions, CLP must 'ave Irish connections - know what am sayin'!!!!
Prof Plum - Glad yer liked the Aquarius astro but I thought you were Pisces?
PS - Im gonna bang the Pisces astro on the later blog (BP allowing).
PPS ALL - Also made a very interesting discovery while researching on the net last night - sent a shiver through the whole of me - involves a Nostradamus thingy I read years ago & found something fits - i'll share all next week if the BP don't mind - it's not scary just very interesting astro/ philosophy - well ter me anyway!!
Anyway up ter people ter make up their own minds on all this astro/ philosophy sinanagans!!!!
Chow!!!!!
Ere. Prof. Plum. What yous on about.
I'm a perfectly good driver thankyou so much. Never 'ad an accident; seen plenty in me rear view mirror, mind.
Actually that's not true. I've had a fair few smashes, and seriously, SERIOUSLY they've NONE of 'em bin my fault.
Like the time I was drivin' on the fast lane of the M6 when that low-loader hit the bridge and shed its load of scaffolding right on top of me; if I'd have had me top down it'd 'ave skewered me like a pickle on a stick. And me with a car full of Old Trouts at the time too.
And then there was the couple in the Fiesta who shot out of nowhere on to the main N8 to Cork, bushack straight into meself and the GBF Damian. All the emergency services turned up, Damian was delighted and got himself a date with 3 firemen from Tipperary so all was well.
Plus we actually got compo for that one, which would normally be against my principles but Damian reckoned the trauma had nearly turned him straight and he was forever thereafter unable to use the loofah.
The best thing was the letter I received from the oppo's insurers, affirming that the accident was in No Way Ms. (Rubbish)'s Fault, so I framed it and gave it to the nightmare cousin Baz who'd taken some convincing.
Happy days.
Hazel. Hahahahaha that's so funny. There's nowt quite so funny as a sibling's misfortune is there, unless it's somebody puttin' the teeth through the bottom lip. Hohoho.
Ah no. As the daughter says, I'm SO now going to be Smited. Best put me flyin' helmet on before I venture out to my lunch party for my officially Old Trout friend Twiggy Hayhurst.
Mangle Tout,
Penelope Pitstop.

Ah no, Bingo don't be gettin' jealous.
It's not CLP's Irish connections. It's just the way to CLP's heart is through 'is nuts.
Or more accurately, as that Goddess Jo Brand once declared, 'The way to a man's heart is through his hanky pocket with a bread knife.'
Hahahaha

You lovely loves, thank you for missing me! I've missed you all too...and coming back from two weeks I've been dizzy bizzy with work that the temp couldn't/didn't/wasn't gonna do, and haven't had any chances to catch up yet!
Plum, he only has a lovely voice...wotchu might call a good face for radio...and besides after the appointment I could barely walk let alone run...how's the house lately?
Moving on. Gingembre, my best to Mrs G. The Badger has taken to the bed which is hitherto unheard of...and it isn't man flu either...else I'd have slapped him out of it by now and sent him off to select some sumptuous goodies for my impending birthday...ahem...tomorrow...

Congratulations to Natasha - well done, see all that hard work and revision paid off.

Sorry not been well and the home broadband has just been fixed by BT..... well no phone call but all the lights are back on.
I'll be able to read the Elite newsletters now. Have to wait till see mum to read the hardcopies.
All the best for the weekend.

hmmmmm I have flown a light aircraft twice, both times going up with so called qualified pilots. These were both guys doing it on the cheap and in the first instance we took off, landed, took off again and landed, then went to the tower while the chief instructor reprimanded the prat for flying round the circuit at 800 ft instead of 1500. The second time, take off was a bit like something out of the battle of britain as the left brake was siezed on and we just about cleared the parked aircraft without ripping off the undercarriage. Landing was buttock clenchingly scary. Give me some tarmac and a Porsche anytime.
Congrats on the pilots license tho mrs E, just avoid dodgy rented planes. Perhaps hubby will buy you one. In contrast the old, if it floats flies etc maxim hehe

Chris... can you remember St Patrick's Day when you were presenting the Big Brakfast an you kept having power cuts.... an it was ... The Little Lepricorn!!
