CLP: Living in a pub? What a wheeze. Do they do food? You've got it made if they do. Bet they've got a big telly for the football as well. Man heaven, eh?

Anne x

Building work is just horrendous CLP - sorry to hear that it's gone so wrong but hey - you get to live in the pub!

As for ARF suggestions I posted this in yesterdays blog but in case they need to be here you ought to give "Illusions in G Major" by ELO (from the Eldorado album) a go. It'd be a great way to kick off the bank holiday ARF.

Keep your pecker up and snogs to Foxie.

Happy ARF!! Hope the sun shines on your bank holiday weekend.

Lots of love to Enzo, hope you're feeling better.

So what song will it be?!!!! its 5pm and i have the radio on!

I think that living in a pub whilst waiting for your new home to be finished will be blissful,,,,,,,,,,, unless you want an early night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be worth the wait tho christoff, just hope Enzo can cope with it?
Dam, missed the first song, what was it anyone?
Have a great weekend one and all i know i will with me chicks n cats n woo hoo so nearly there

Errol

Hey Tinsel, well done! x

Tinsel - it was you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations x x x

Hold on to your hat Chris - life WILL get better and better.............living in a pub is great, but becoming a dad will be an even bigger and more amazing life changing experience for you.........and it's coming!!!

That new house of yours will need to be exactly as you want it, you will be there for a long time and blissfully happy!!

Hold on to your hat..............or in your case flat cap :-)))

Greetings and Salutations from Vancouver, Canada.

Once again, Mr.Evans is enjoying the fruits of his labour whilst his labourers perpare his palatial new pad.

I once ran into him in a pub in Notting Hill years ago and it must be said, such surroundings certainly suit him, in the best possible sense.

To one and all, I wish a most delicious and positively fantastical weekend.

For me, it starts with a post-work gym visit, then a mouth-watering curry with a few Cobras and night in with my dear lady; tomorrow is all about relaxing, putting new seats in our car, having a barbecue and just enjoying. Sunday promises a lie in, a stroll in the park, a little DIY and a lot of love. I just can't complain.

Just a hop, skip and a jump until my visit home to Blighty. Hurrah and huzzah.

Take care, everyone and remember...everything is within walking distance if you have the time

Dr. T

Congratulations Tinselxxxxx

We had to wait to move into our house too and spent some time with friends and had a great time, so I think you will have fun in the pub!

Hope you all enjoy your BH weekend and the sun shines on us all

Love Jenn xxxxx

Chris I bet that will be such fun actually. Looking forward to some more great posts from you when you are in there. Bound to be a few tales.........

Today has been the best day this week and I am so pleased to feel more 'normal' today. Whatever normal means, you know what I mean!

Have a lovely weekend everyone
Love
Debbie x x

Delilah: Hysterical!!

Anne x

my my my delilah! OH I LOVE IT!xx
why why why delilah!! xx

Chris - a small complaint.

Your fabulous daily theme tunes (Waltons, Dallas, Magnum etc) are brilliant but for the last couple of weeks or so you have started giving the shows contact details out over the top of them!

Stop it Chris, go back to how it was before - they aren't very long anyway so play the daily themes please!

I wonder if this will be the first time you have "lived over the shop" ?! (Best keep Enzo out of the beer garden!)
Good luck with the move

Wilsmar...

Thanking you kindly for your good wishes.

If you move away from midlifeme and go to dogwithnobrain.blogspot.com you will find me there, and you can leave all the comments you want.

Everyone welcome!

go easy in the pub or you might not want to move out i wouldnt.........have a great weekend all see you later......what was the first song?????

EEK - my song got picked my song got picked, thanks CLP!!!! (Kev, it was I love to boogie). Sorry to everyone who wanted Good Vibrations tho!

Oooh, living in a pub, lucky you!

Great show as usual, have lovely weekends.

xxxx

Evening one and evening all,

Phew. It's sorted now but I've had a problem with a faulty router (ahem). Have had no internet for few days ('thank goodness for that!', I hear you all cry).

So, living above the pub. Popping downstairs to let the dog out could take a little longer than usual : )

The blossom's out in our garden. Strictly speaking, it's my neighbour's garden but, thankfully, most of the branches bearing their beautiful blossom reach into and adorn my garden.

Bingo/MfR - masters of the awesome one-liner : ) oh, and by the way Matt, I assume that last weekend MfR was an acronym for marvellous Fulham result?

Gingembre - re 3 points, thank you. Yep, the 3 would ensure staying up. I will be there tomorrow.

Mange tout et petit pois

Evening each

Anyone watching ´óÏó´«Ã½4? The wonderful Aly Bain et al and lovely music. Ahhhhh

Anne x

A building SIGHT? It just gets worse lol

Me again

And the lovely James Taylor. Yum

HI Chris...I'm Sundar Rao from Hyderabad in southern India. All of us here at home LOVE you, The Fox and everything you'll do in your show. We listen to your show only in the early morning hours of India. That's because your 1700 hours time (GMT) in the UK is 2230 hours here in Indian Standard Time (IST), and that's late.

Now...your track listing of songs played on Friday 2nd May, 2008 IS NOT UPDATED as of this moment on Saturday morning, 7.40 am IST ! Pls do that soonest during or after your everyday shows as we love to track and buy some of the great music you play.

I've only just registered in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ site, and know where else to put down these comments and so chose this here. Sorry to all the other writers in this box.
Chris, do tell me where I ought to be writing in on your blog, and will do that the next time.

LOVE your great show.
And btw, it's no surprise that you and your team were chosen as the BEST show in that ´óÏó´«Ã½ poll that was read out, and regaled by you later, on 1st May. Congrats to you Chris and The Fox (love her sexy sexy full-of-real-mirth-laugh) !

Why can't we see you on some sort of live-on-internet-streaming-live tv thing? THAT would be the best part of our day.

Regards,
Sundar Rao

thanks tinsel...glad your on the up debs,remember to get to the top theres a little ladder to climb...or somthing like that....hope the sunshine lasts....

Morning all

Day 1 of "no Mr Diva" weekend, and I just have to say that being able to sleep like a starfish, totally spangled diagonally across the new mattress was fab! The best night's sleep for ages. Weird that!

Now embarking on the housework, aiming to get done for the West Ham kick-off at 12.30ish.

Did anyone see Have I Got News For You last night? Is it me, or is Brian Blessed really, really scary!?!?!?

Right, onwards and upwards ..... Jonathan Ross on R2 is a calling .....

Laters!

CtD xxxx

Afternoon each

Yes CtD, I watched and B.B. is a really scary man. He looks like he eats children.

Anne x

Oh Anne - I'm sitting here laughing my bits off at that comment - really, really funny!! And possibly true ... ? ! ?

I had a play/explore with FB and found you lot ... another addictive distraction in my life.

Gonna be extremely decadent now and go for a long hot soak with my new Marian Keyes book. 3pm on a Saturday. Bath. Whatever next ..... ? ? ?

Back laters.

CtD xxxx

I watched Have I Got News for You last night and thought it was so embarrassing! You could see the panelists cringeing and I just wanted it to end!

I have had a great day today, done absolutely no housework (very, very rare for me) I am about to go out and play football with the boys in the garden now!

Debbie x x

Yeeeeeeesssssssssssss!
What a day. What a day. I hope that you are all feeling as happy as me tonight.

Peace and much love

MfR

ive had a great day as well trampolineing,grass cutting,dog walking,and a tiny bit of shopping mrs lazy very happy,ill get to watch match of the day as well oh yes.

Well one and all

Back from Majorca no less.
A mixture of shopping for boats a mere snip at half a million, to listening to the hotel entertainer singing "My Way". .....In a club style.
Throw into the equation an eccentric old lady who only uses 100 Euros notes to pay for anything and wants to party at a Jazz club after 12 .... well thats Majorca for you...


Isn't life strange!!!!!




PS Hazel, clue...... In a Purple Mood.

hey matt, thought we weren't allowed to mention it??? well done to your boys, I thnk the saying is "squeaky bum time"

gaby, I'm sooo sorry that Juande and Keano didn't get my message regarding your 3 points.

KWx

MfR - I thought about you yesterday when I saw the results at ten to 5. Shame The Hammers got slaughtered at United - painful. Only glad Mr Diva is in the Lakes - he can be "unhappy hammer" several hours away from here!

Spent the morning doing the housework. Now have a lovely, dust-free, clean, shiny house. All done in time for the Arsenal kick off at 1.30 ... come on you Gunners!

And Moto GP at 8am this morning.

Talk about being spoilt!

Laters gang!

CtD xxx

PS: Gingembre: I'm in the circle and I never felt a thing! xxx

Thanks CtD. It was a brilliant afternoon.
Gingembre. You haven't been paying attention my friend, I lifted the embargo on football references after the Man City match........

....well, Gaby. It is your lot or my lot, hun. You've got the easier game, we've got the goal difference and the cup finalists.......

...may the best team stay up. If it all goes horribly wrong, at least we can console ourselves in Las Vegas a couple of days later.....

Just made a (hopefully) delightful spinach and tomato lasagne and about to crack a cheeky merlot to accompany it......

....then I reckon its time for Ocean's 11 and Casino Royale to get us into the gambling mood......

Enjoy the rest of your weekend chaps.
MfR xxx

Matt, we're going to Las Vegas? Great news, I've never been.
I was glued to the tv for the final day of the Championship today - and that was excitement enough....as a neutral. Although, my other team is Palace, so I must declare an interest.

Gingembre, thank you. Keano never seems to get the message when it comes to playing us!!! To be honest, maybe he did get the message because they were awesome and we were lucky to get nil!!

Gaby

Gabs. When are you heading for Sin City? If you need any tips, let us know. This'll be my 7th attempt to head there and win my fortune.....

MfR - My tongue was firmly in my cheek, again, well done to your boys.

I must once more extend my invite to yourself or gaby. If you visit your team away at Norwich City next season, the ginge will be at the gates with open arms.

KWx

Gingembre
On behalf of Mrs MfR and I, we'd be truly delighted to accept your kind offer. Really mate, really. I hope that we won't be in the same division, but if we are, East Anglia, here we come!.....

Evening each

Just looked in but I think I've nothing to add about footie (is that what you're talking about btw?)

Have just chased my two teeny grandsons to bed so I can get on my own computer after they've been playing miniclip games for hours.

Have a good Bank Holiday everyone. I've promised my two 5p for every dandelion they can dig up in my garden tomorrow, so let's hope the sun shines.

Anne x

Mfr - to be honest I was hoping your boys and Gaby's both stayed up...


...12 points next season for Spurs!!!????

;)

KWx

Morning everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful bank holiday weekend. Little one has to finish his project today so I expect to endure lots of screaming and crying but at least he won't get another one for a year!

My dad was 65 yesterday. He's not my real dad but he took me on as a baby when he met my mum, and he has been the most wonderful father I could have hoped for, unlike my real dad who has met me for a pizza once, several years ago.

Hope you're all ok, especially those of you in norfolk. How lovely is the weather? I've just been counting the gnat bites on my legs, seventeen so far! I must be very tasty!

Take care all of you,

Em xx

Oh one and all

My post posted itself before I wrote anything!

Anyway, just catching up on the blog on a typical bank holiday rainy day.

I was just wondering if Freeze dried poo has anything to do with Icelands?

Off for a spot of Lunch, have a nice day Y'all

Evening each

I love my gorgeous little grandsons. BUT they've gone home, and the silence is wonderful. Cost me £5.10 for the removal of dandelions. Worth every penny. Off to put my feet up then have an early night.

What a beautiful day it's been here nr Edinburgh.

Anne x

When MfR and Cathmel were having probs with their posts disappearing I couldn't quite understand it to be honest because I had been very lucky to have my posts appear..............until now! Don't know where my last post has gone!

Mary xx

So how come that one got through!!!!

2nd attempt!

Evening all,

Annie G it's been glorious here too, just outside glasgow! I'm having a wee break from sitting in the sun. Temperatures reached mid twenties here this afternoon, everyone seems so upbeat and happy, long may the sun shine! lol

MfR and Gaby good luck to your teams xx

My team are fortunate to be at the top of the spl, but it's going to be a nail bitting finally!

Congratulations to Rangers getting through to the UEFA cup final, only british team, just incase anyone was wondering, could easily be missed with all the hype on the champions league! :o) Mind you it would be a whole different ball game (haha) if it were other way around!!! :o)

Enjoy the rest of your evening folks!

Mary xx

It's been gawjus dahn saaaaf too. I spent today on the Suffolk/Norfolk border in the spa of a well-known chain of holiday villages. I was acktually sitting outside in a lounger in my swimming cozzy with a robe on and got too hot so had to undo the robe.

How decadent is THAT??!!

Bet it won't be like that when we go back for a week in December to celebrate New Year!

Now feel like a space cadet, thanks to the dry floatation treatment I had this afternoon.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

CtD xxxx

Hi guys

Had a very eventfull day. My mother in law had a fall and we spent hours at the hospital with her. Turns out that she has fractured her ankle and her pelvis and she is staying with us now. She is in alot of pain and getting her to the loo is pretty hard work bless her.

I'm taking her to the fracture clinic tomorrow so I'm hoping that I can get a wheelchair for her for the next few weeks.

CtD I am sooo jealous of your afternoon, good for you. I too feel like a space cadet but for a totally different reason!

Waiting until the next painkillers are due, making a bed up and then collapsing!

Night
Debbie x x

morning all

what a glorious weekend for weather? and again this today by the looks of things.

Didn't do a huge amount, been to the gym twice as part of the rehab programme my physio has given me - ouch!!!!
Gonna go for a swim today somewhere (also on my list of exercise's)

MrsW and me have been invited to an 80's night (fancy dress) - any suggestions of what we could go as? (as a couple). If all else fails I'm gonna have to dig out the Frankie says No and Choose Life tshirts!! - younger viewers ask someone older!!

Have a great week y'all

Well done Rangers, good luck at Man Citeh's ground.

KWx

Morning all,

What a stonker of a day, and its my day off! I reckon this calls for the dreaded shorts as today I will be mainly in the garden tidying up after a rather successsful bbq yesterday, and then cutting the grass on my ride on mower.

I have had a run of good luck recently with shopping. First of all I bought 2 bikes. Mine was reduced from £280 TO £200, but then got another £20 knocked off as they only had the display model left, I bought some sun glasses at the same time which were £10 less than advertised but the clincher was the fella's bike which was just under £200 which we paid for in full, only to get the box home to discover they had given us the next model up, so that was a saving of another £100. Then there was yesterday. I wanted a new bbq, preferably a gas one and was weighing up the pros and cons of 2 that had caught my eye - one at £249 and one at £300. I liked all the little extras but they were both a little big. Then I spotted one in the corner. Slightly smaller and the tag was £79. Bargain! So we hunted them down in the store only to find they had been futher reduced to a mere £49. We also purchased 2 different sorts of solar lighting, one at £10 and the other £20. The casher rang the £10 one through twice rather than individually, saving us yet another £10. So I have effectively saved £470. Personally I think thats pretty good going! Just wondering now what to spend this extra money on. Any ideas???

MW, a!

So the blog doesn't like pound signs.

MW, a!

Morning all.

Debbie - shall we call you Nurse Debbie from now on? Good luck!

Gingembre - I think you and the lady should go as Hayzee Fantayzee, complete with dreadlock wigs and denim dungarees!

MW,a - fab!!

Had a nightmare of a journey this morning to work. 20 minutes on a normal day took me an hour today thanks to a police diversion off of my route because of an accident. Sad thing is they forgot to divert us all back onto the route and about a dozen of us ended up almost 15 miles the wrong side of town. Ugh!!! Now a bit stressed and shaky thanks to an A12 diversion I could have done without.

Can someone pass me some aspirin ...?

Laters.

Hello all,

Had a lovely weekend punting in Cambridge but had to console a grumpy Mr P, as he is a Leicester City fan - oh dear...

So, what have I missed? SprayTan - are you guessing or do you know something I don't?

Gingembre - what about Mel and Kim? Everyone loves a man in drag!

Rosie x

Morning all. What a gorgeous day.

MWa, my shorts got their first airing of the year yesterday too. I was down at my allotment in my jeans and I was just tooooooo hot. So went home, got changed, and spent the afternoon pottering about in the sunshine. Shorts are the way forward!!!

Have lovely weeks all. I'm only here for a couple of days then off up to the 'Pool to visit my mummy - 79 next week (her not me!)

Txxx

What one of the pubs are you going to stay at. My partner and i visited the Mulberry Tree on Monday and it was absolutly fantastic. The meal was great and the staff are so nice can wait to go back again. Hopefully to your other pub if we can find it.

Great show Chris and well don on the pubs you have they are fantastic

Hi everyone,

Just catching up with the blog over the weekend.

Debbie: your poor mum in law. What a shame - she must be in so much pain. But you are doing a wonderful job looking after her - you will be rewarded!

I have to say that I watched Have I Got News For You on Friday and I thought Brian Blessed was utterly sensational! The last time I enjoyed HIGNFY so much was when Brucie was host! Maybe it's just me!!

Gorgeous day in Glasgow, just like yesterday. Thought I would wear my linen trousers that I bought last summer. Well, they don't fit, yikes! So ..... guess who will be shopping for salad at lunchtime?

Have a good day.

C xx

Morning all! Sounds like good weekends were had by most.

Sunday was rubbish oop north so spent the day in dressing gown, but yesterday was lovely, wandered round Harrogate then went to see mummy dearest in hospital. Poor love's knackered... but coming home today yippee!!

Glorious day today when I am of course back to work booooo! Forgot what it was like to be bored, but here I am again!
