PETER KAY, THE EDGE AND A WOLE LOT OF LOVE
Without doubt one of the most eccentric people in showbiz, introducing...
... Mr Peter Kay in our box last night at the O2.
On his own, smiling, chomping on a sarnie, having driven himself down from the north west - happy as a sand boy. A huge Zep fan by the way. Always nice, always friendly.
(In a thick Bolton accent)
"Hey, how about that Almost Famous, 'ow good is that film, I'm always in floods whenever I watch it. It just brings back all those feelings of being young, yer whole life ahead of you - all yer dreams ahead of you."
Apparently he watched it on the way to the gig to get him in the mood. How he did this and drive I declined to ask. Lovely fella though.
Hey did anyone mention that Foreigner were the support act. "I wanna know what love is," oh yes baby.
So how was the concert ?
How do you think ? In a word... awesome. Jimmy Page was on fire, I mean really on fire, Jason Bohman spookily good and Robert the Plant's voice as good as ever. I never realised how funky they were ! And how do you go about writing those songs ? They're so complex, so massive, so magnificent.
All the biggies, all the must plays didn't disappoint, nothing disappointed - the stage show itself was breathtaking. To such an extent, according to U2's manager Paul Mcguiness, "there's no way this is a one off." Hurrah.
My favorite moment however was after the show. A picture I'll never forget. Jimmy Page backstage slumped on a sofa with his three kids draped all over him telling their daddy how much they loved him. A happier, more content man, it would be difficult to imagine.

Hi Christoff!
Sooooooooo pleased to hear you had a fab night,
and obviously,I'm a tad green with envy!!
Would be great if Zep did tour.
Love to y'all
The last bit is the bit I liked in that.
I don't get the whole led zepplin thing? Really I don't. I heard Paolo Nutini was a support there? That would have excited me a wee bitty more.
I got taken out to lunch today. Yawnnnnnn, don't feel like doing much now.
C-T-D You are A Star!

I'm soooooo jealous. Loved them then and would love to see them now. Got a pair of old J Bonhams drum sticks - he handed them to me - how cool is that?
From the names that were mentioned as being there, were there any non-celebs there at all?
mange tout xxx
went for a fantastic run to day with bouncer my dog the ground was frosty and the puddles where frozen doing it again to moss want to come??? its great
Wow! was thinking of you! Last night was the 'fella's' works meal and for those who don't know he works in a drum shop. Anyway last night the boss was telling us that he got a phone call asking if they could buy a snare drum back as someone needs to borrow one for a gig which was on last night, and the fella's shop was the only place to have this drum! So they are all hoping that the drum was being played at the O2 last night! Oh boys and their toys!
Well I'm now off for a rest and then finish wrapping pressies. Still got a few to get! Oh I love it though! Missy xx
Aww Chris, I'm just SOOOOOO jealous, I wanted to go SO badly.......glad you had a good time, though......please tell us some more about it......
Love the snow,

hi chris i was at the 02 last night and also at knebworth twice to see zeppelin how many of your listners can say that

Dear Mr Evans,
It will come as no surprise to you that Beaver Hateman and his gang are big fans of this band.
Personally I find the lyrics of a somewhat dubious nature and not the sort of thing that would go down well at my annual Christmas Musical Soiree - although apparently their manager has rung the Old Monkey up a few times begging him to book them.
I imagine they are keen for the publicity that a gig at Homeward inevitably offers.
Yours Faithfully
Uncle
MfR - you were the christmas crackers did you hear them????
GO BLOGGERS GO x x x x x x x
John,
Not many, but the drugs will do that sort of thing to you! Tee hee
DD out

hello Chris
you asked a question earlier about the flying pickets
One of the members works at my school
Right I am fed up with this!
For the third time I have posted nice messages to people and the gremlins have prevented me from actually posting!
Last go - well done MfR for having your christmas crackers played tonight.

CtD
I'm in the gang now too!
Two 'Christmas Crackers', two bloggers.
Over to you Bingo et al.
Must be quick, Oz and James are about to strut their stuff, followed by Heston and our Gord.
Tuesdays. Officially, the only night worth switching the telly on for.
Peace & love
MfR
Last night was amazing. What a great opening with Keith Emerson and "Fanfare". Paul Rodger's voice was amazing as were all the acts. I went expecting a moderate overall performance and was overwhelmed by the whole show. Being in the gods up on level 4, the vertigo started to kick in when Jimmy Page pushed the sound system to its limit and the whole arena shook! You're quite right Chris there was nothing to disappoint. Here's one very happy Surrey housewife who made it through the ballot!
Evening Christoff!!!
Had to pop in and out of the show tonight as was getting guinea pigs ready for their new home then took my sister for her Christmas shopping. She got ALL ... I repeat ... ALL her shopping in 2 hours!!!! Talk about shopping like a man!!
Christoff, honey .... you ALWAYS make me smile, you are such a ray of sunshine (Bring me sunshine, in your smile ....) but tonight .... that was awesome!!! Bob Harris .... how could you forget speaking to him less than 24 hours ago!?!?! OOOPPPSSS! Och, don't worry honey - we were laughing with you, not at you!
I'm guessing Peter Kay made it home ok afterwards? That is a long way to go!
Right - I'm going to wrap my pressies, then I'll be back to catch up with y'all!!
Huggles,
Susan, Highland lass
Ok - will do the catch up with y'all tomorrow!! Just kicking myself that I missed MfR's Gobsmackers!!! Will have to listen again again! Go Bloggers!!!!
Missed James and Ozz too!! But it was worth it to spend time with my wee sister!
Lyndyloo - honey, just wanted to remind you that you and your family are still very much in our thoughts and prayers.
Night all!!
Morning all,
Decided to give up fat club until after xmas - what's the point right now.
Sammie still waiting to hear about your meal but maybe you're not home yet - mange tout!!
Gingembre - hope you are ok
Susan S - is the little one looking forward to Christmas?
Ctd - vive la russolution he is everywhere yyeess!!
MfR - assuming your refering to Spooks - I concur
Have a great day x x x x
morning all...
...hope you are well this cold December day?
I have to admit that I wasn't really excited by the whole LedZep reunion - not really my cup o' tea, however, I do totally understand the whole seeing someone 'live' that you've always dreamt of seeing. Glad you all had a good time.
So, from the view I have this morning it looks like winter has landed, crisp crunchy white grass, cars frozen over etc. Love it. Off into the city in a mo' to get a few bits. Back to work tomorrow after my glandular fever tests first thing, dunno what happens if its positive???
Had my knee appt yesterday, in a nutshell I'm going to be sent for a second opinion with the man who's regarded as the best in this field!! Unfortunately there's now the row as to who pays!!! The funny thing is, I suggested a 2nd opinion 4 months ago, but what do I know? - ho hum!
Have a lovely day everyone

Good morning Christoff et al!
How are we all this wonderful Hump Day?! Only stopping by for a quick hello as the wee lass has one of her Christmas parties this morning! Can't get her dressed until she finishes her ice lolly though!! In December! I ask ye!
Yes, cathmel, she is getting excited! Though she is only 2, this is her third Christmas, so methinks she feels like a veteran! She has been sucked into the 'I want that for Christmas, Mummy' mode! But told me last week that she doesn't want Santa to come to her house - Mummy and Daddy are to go and meet him and tell him she is scared of him, then we have to get her presents from him! Sensible lass!! It doesn't make sense to have a huge stranger, dressed all in red, squeezing down the lum and sneaking round one's home at night, does it!? Any other time of year we'd be brandishing the biggest kitchen knife in one hand as we called the local constabulary with the other!!
Hey-ho! It is a crazy, mixed up world!
Huggles all,
Susan, Highland lass
I'll try snaffle some mince pies for y'all!
Morning All

Morning all,
Bloody hell it's freezing today, so cold in this office/barn that I'm sitting here with my scarf on! No wonder I can't shake off this cold.
Looks lovely out though doesn't it. Only downside to driving here today was the ice on the road, nearly ended up in a ditch.
I'm being really miserable here aren't I? Actually I could do with some good jokes and some cheering up if anyone is inclined. Home not great and work is worse. Going to make some New Year's Resolutions today I think.
Did anyone see Kitchen Nightmares last night? I so craved a curry while watching that, good job we don't have smelly vision!
Gingembre, second opinion is good, hopefully you will be getting somewhere with it all soon.
Love to all
Debbie xx
PS. Has anyone heard of a group called Dread Zepplin?

Oh yes it is, or no it isn't one and all
I am sure even given the awful write up in the Mail that Led Zepp were fanstastic.
I'm sure everyone had a ding dong of a night.
I think it is fair to say though that live gigs are enhanced by the wizards of sound technics these days. Remenbering at rock concerts of old it was sometimes hard to recognise what was actually being played!
The X factor, well how heart breaking was that. The Same Difference in tears. Well I felt so sorry for them I voted for them.
Exit stage left
Good day.
Hello, tried posting earlier, second time lucky.
I felt sorry for Same Difference too. Nice kids but I don't think they can win it.
It will be Ryhdian, (think I spelt that wrong), Leon second.
What am I going to do when X Factor and Strictly are finished!?!?!?
