HELLO HELLO HELLO.

Chris Evans | 16:23 UK time, Friday, 7 December 2007

So how is everybody today ? Let me tell you it's bloody freezing here in...

...Central London, not an easy thing to achieve when you consider all the "stuff" that's here to heat the place up.

Just been to the hair doctor again, my hair is back back back and not a bleeding transplant in sight, hoorah, I think I have love for Andy, real man to man love.

It's charity Christmas trees this weekend both Saturday and Sunday, so it'll be me fighting with three pairs of trousers tomorrow morning in a vain attempt to keep warm, apparently it's going to be an iceberg of a weekend.

The wife went to Portugal yesterday to measure up our new appartment for some furniture, it was 28 degrees there ! Why did she come back ?

All Request Friday is being pushed out of the garage and will soon be fired up and ready to go that should warm us all up a bit.

    Afternoon CLP!

    Oh my goddness, I bet your wife wishes she's stayed in Portugal..

    Really looking forward to ARF - will try and phone tonight.

    Busy weekend ahead, but I know I will enjoy it!

    Have a great time all,

    S xx.

    Christof!

    Firstly, She came back because she loves you.

    Secondly. wear a pair of tights under your trousers. Seriously. A pair of tights will be much more effective than three pairs of trousers. You get good brand from marks and spencers - (other brands are availble) - they adjust to your body heat, so you don't over heat.

    Is v. windy at marina, storm gate shut, and electricity went off this afternoon, but I'm cosy, and have a lovely night in tonight... although I'm tempted to venture out to the local church panto!

    Happy Weekends.

    Sorry not been able ter blog terdee until now, been so busy at work terdee.

    CLP - I'd love ter live in Portugal - Sun & golf!!!!
    Tax rates not too good though - know what am sayin'!!!!!

    Just wanted ter offer an explanation & sincerest BIG 'pologies ter 'ed..' aka commentation #13 errr yesterdees blog my earlier commentation on yesterdees blog, yesterdee!!!!!!

    Firstly I just wanted ter say by saying 'drop' I didn't mean ter take away the pain & achievement of giving birth away from women, one of the main reasons why i'm damn glad i'm a man, I couldn't give birth - I don't know 'ow women do - I admire all women who do - know what am sayin'!!!!!

    But 'aving said that I suppose it would be very good ter be a woman in other ways - know what am sayin'!!!!!

    BUT don't get the wrong idea..... ere, i'm not a secret tv, and I ain't talkin' television, although I did once follow in the footsteps of Mike Baldwin & 'ad me own lingerie market stall, the girlfriends idea, but I was the one who ended up on me own at the stall surrounded by bras & knickers - now what am sayin'!!!!!

    Forgotten what I was bloggin' about??????

    Oh I Yeah, errrrr 'ed' just wanted ter say the phrase 'drop' is a scouse term of affection for 'one's waters 'ave ceased their operational needs and labour 'as commenced (nowt ter do with politics) and the birth of a beautiful baby is 'appening/ 'appened'.

    BIG 'pologies 'ed' if you took any kind of offence but me commentations were mean't in peace, love & friendship & congradulatins towards Jono & Kate Saunders & their new baby!!!!!!

    BIG 'opologies ter Jono & Kate & Baby too!!!!!!

    'ope this 'elps!!!!!!!

    PS Did once 'ave me tyre & exhaust business too.... so it's not been all elastic.... me business experience!!!!!

    Chow!

    PS 'ed' no offence taken by me you pointing out me 'drop' - PEACE & LOVE TER ALL!!!!!!!!

    PPS - Another festive message Sven style.......

    The fact that Santa's beard is classed as white & not grey.......

    I LIKE IT....... I LIKE IT ALOT!!!!!!!

    Hi Chris,

    Just wanted to let you know that I'm sitting in front of a blazing log fire in my house in the south of Italy, with my two German Shepherds, George and Oscar, for company. Making lasagne for tea, washed down with the local red :-)

    There's nothing quite like spending December in the sunshine - you'll love Portuguese winters!

    Throuroughly enjoying the show!

    Big chief CLP,

    All good here at 22 degs in Hamilton, BM, about to head to the beach for the first time this week - my mate says its pissing cold in Belfast so fair do's to all you lot . . missing you already . . .

    So whats the deal with sky - signed, sealed and delivered, yet? - I'd be really surprised if it was true . . .

    I'm going to have to get some thinning hair tips from you and your good doc, the telly over here are constantly running "Regain new and improved" ads in the mornings - am not convinced, does anything work at all??

    Of all my peers, I'd be considered most handsome for an about-to-turn-34-year-old, and indeed; my charm, wit, sparkling irish blue eyes and a 6 ft, 13stn chiselled frame, build together an awesome, 0%-buy-now-pay-next-Christmas package that is unrivalled in any major department, apart from rampant folical frivolities about the cranium area . Not good - or so we are led to believe . . .

    But what is a mere mortal, without the access to Harley Street expensive wizards, to do?
    Answers on a blogcard please . . .

    Ah-hoy-hoy, Man-waiter, my sunglasses, if you'd be so kind, at your earliest . .

    See you back on the Irish, Mon. afternoon . .

    Alas, the weather has beaten us.

    Snowdon must wait for a few weeks.

    Mind you, I felt a bit of a wimp when you read the text from the fella heading up Nevis tomorrow.

    But. You were right.

    Stay in the warm.

    This weekend is all about relaxation and getting in the Christmas spirit.

    The trees will go up, pressies will be bought, and we'll even drop by The M for a winter warmer.

    Hi Chris,
    Hve you heard the song by Elbow Jane called Catcher in the rye? it`s a conversation between John Lennon and Mark Chapman, it`s brilliant and as it is coiming up to the aniversary of John`s death it really would be worth a listen and a play on your show the band have a web site to view and I have a copy of their CD and can send you a copy if you are interested,

    Thanks for a fantastic show it really cheers me up on my drive home from work.

    If you are, like me, one of the three hundred million people who didn't get Led Zep tickets for Monday, please go and buy the live DVD.

    Then.

    Obviously, watch it all (loads of times), but whizz through to the Knebworth gig from 1979.

    Oh. My. God.

    Achilles Last Stand will blow you away and Whole Lotta Love will astound you, but Kashmir will change your life.

    Bonzo's drumming, Pagey's guitar, JPJ's incredible keyboards and the boy Plant's preening, God-like presence and mighty vocals are simply the finest examples of rock known to man.

    Good Morning

    Now that was such a hectic weekend I am exhausted.

    Friday had the ex-firm's Christmas Party which was fantastic. It felt like I had never been away and it was so lovely to catch up with my old mates. It makes me feel worse sitting here in this barn/office all on my own this morning however.

    Saturday was taken up with putting up Christmas tree and decorations. Well the later part of the day as I did have quite a lie in!

    Sunday, dinner at the mother in laws, friend round in the afternoon. Then out for a meal at a local Tappas Bar with the lads and parents from the eldest's rugby club. The food was lovely, never been to a tappas bar before.

    Hope you all had good weekends, catch up later

    Morning All - It's DIVA time!

    Still croacky of voice but a zillion percent better than I was. Had a fantastic weekend - saw Take That on Friday and cannot put into words how good they were! Two hours of solid entertainment ... more of a "show" than a "concert". And Howard Donald ... I so would ....!!!!

    Saturday I ventured into a very wet, very packed London to do some shiny shopping with a girl-friend of mine. We had a fantastic day, spentloads, had lots of girly chat time and generally put the world to rights. And as for Debenh@ms in Oxford Street's window ... WOW!

    Friday night concert and Saturday shiny shopping with two very different friends, but after hours of girl chat it really made me feel happy, content, over the moon with my "lot". It's weird when you see a happy picture from the outside and then when friends open up, it would often appear that all is (sadly) not rosy in their world. I can honestly say I love my husband with all my heart, I adore my job, we're confy in the purse-strings arena and apart from sounding like a croaky old frog, life is pretty darned spot on. I only wish I could share some of this with my not-so-content girl-friends.

    Mr Diva and I had a wonderful day yesterday, just enjoying eachothers company and preparing for Christmas.

    For everyone on this blog ... be happy and learn to make the most of what you've got. Striving for perfection that will probably never come will only beat you up in the end.

    Debbie - hope all's OK at work this week. You know where I am if you wanna "chat".

    HL - I hope you painted the Badgers name on his torso prior to his going into hibernation ... and don't forget to put holes in his box!

    Bingo ... hows about doing Leo this week: we're a lovely bunch (me, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Robert De Niro .... )

    Missy - are you OK babe?

    Hugs to everyone else! Stay safe and love each other.

    Due to glasses (lack of - see previous) I have a BANGING head and people keep asking me if I've had a heavy weekend. I didn't necessarily, not that that is any of their beeswax, the Vivaldi (and similar) concert that I went to on Friday would not immediately be construed as 'heavy' although the small child with whom meandim spent most of the rest of the weekend, would. It's scream could pierce tins.

    My kids decorated the Christmas tree yesterday, when they got back from their dads. Bless, they were very proud of it!

    Glad you're feeling better Gingembre by the way.

    Just popped home for lunch and a letter had been delivered letting me know that little man's next jabs are due next week. Now last Friday he had his flu jab and me, the nurse and a receptionist had to restrain him. It was very distressing. Can't believe I have to do it all again next week! Do you reckon it would be safe to leave it until after christmas?

    Anyways, back to work now. Mr Angry is moody again today.
