BLOG 311
No blog yesterday ?
Wrong !
Brill blog yesterday but disappered, like the crew of the Mary Celeste or my hair pre Harley Street visit circa twelve months ago.
In short it was about the fact that I had the chance to have a bacon butty but actually didn't want one. Sacrilege I know and obviously eventually I had it anyway but, oh well it was much longer and funnier and everything. Even interactive Ian couldn't relocate the original blog 311. Alas it was never meant to be. Wonder if this one will make it.
Had our first big meeting about this year's Drvietime dine and dance and now annual golf tournament. All for Children In Need of course. Looks pretty good I have to say and live in my pub at the end of it all. Damn fine.
Other commitments today include the continuing process of managing the new car. The Coburn Spyder arrives next week and has been the cause of "the most invites to events I have ever received." I swear I could give up work and just make a living taking bookings for this car to appear at various motor shows around the world. (Not a bad idea come to think of it.)
More big news in the vehicle world to come.
Appeared on Five Live today to talk about the great Tiger Woods being out for the rest of the season. Always get dead nervous being on other peoples' shows, even a good chap like Mr. Mayo, just never want to let peeps down. Apparently made enough to sense not to have to go and hide.
Last meeting was ten minutes ago to discuss a new cinema ad for the show. What's going on, it's like the old days.
I have to say I love it, well I don't have to, but you know what I mean.

I'm giddy at the minute too . . but can't really say why here - might tell you some other time . . .
I went throguh exactly the same bacon-buttie dilemma this morning. Since I arrived at t'office at 8.30, I could think of nothing else - didnt want fruit, didnt want cereal - just wanted a ketchup-covered hot white bacon sandwich. Then, the guilty shoulder started whispering about my recent (2 years) lack of gym attendance and my penchant for lateral relaxation, of an evening.
"But, my chisselled friend", I answered back, "I walked around a golf course yesterday for 18 long holes so I bloody well deserve it!"
The shoulder relaxed and I ended up eating a BROWN WHOLEMEAL bacon butty as a comprimsie, - lots of ketchup - and I have to say, not bad, same endorphins kicked in, same grin, same post-swallow sigh and subsequent guilt - not bad at all . . .
Or am I getting carried away . . ??

Hello Christoph! So even you are victim of the blog gremlins... Wonder where it went, how strange. All is forgiven though, especially as you eventually had the bacon butty :)
Any hugs what have been directed to Lochinver in search of the Highlandlass may need redirecting, poor lass got confused and ended up in Lochcarron :) but says it's just as nice there as well.
ARF request from a befuddled Highlandlass is.... yep you guessed it, Queen - DON'T STOP ME NOW!! And you can blame it on EJR apparently, it's going round her head non-stop pretty much :)
Ooh and DtM nice clue!! :D
Off to massage feet and then make dinner.

Sat in the thermal springs from 4pm till 8pm until the sulphur drove me out into the sub-zero temperatures. I felt so relaxed. The water was at 41 degrees c and the outside temp was about zero. Next on my to buy list is an outdoor heated bath. Laying there looking up at the stars and listening to the folks chatting around me. Many are actually ex-pats who are disgruntled to see so many poms in NZ...had to giggle quietly to myself.
Was gently chatted up by an aussie wife (shame on her..hehehehe) for a while and so I made my excuses and moved to a hotter pool where she could not follow...lol..
I am astounded by all the lovely people here asking for Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. It really has become my anthem out here and I religiously play it as I set off on my day's driving. So thank you all sooooo much for asking for it for ARF!!! If Chris plays it this week I will be able to catch it on Listen again (just) as I shall be back in blighty on the 28th..finger crossed.
Go onb Chris all the lovely ladies here have asked for it and you would be ungallant to refuse such a request form such lovelies!!!
Well...got to head off for the day - Whale watching today (if I am in luck) and then perhaps onto Picton for the night to see if I can get an earlier ferry back to North Island as I have a wish to "take the waters" at Rotorua!!

We may be ink-buds and rock-nuts but I'm with Gingembre - Queen never really did it for me.
I appreciate their contribution in the grand scheme of rock 'n' roll history and Freddie was an amazing showman, but it was all a little too 'theatrical' for my liking.
Like The Clash. I really want to like their stuff - London Calling is the unofficial anthem down at Craven Cottage - but it all sounds a bit too, well, 'cod-punk'. If that isn't a bona fide music term it ought to be.
So, ARF? While I'm in a jingly-jangly indie mood it has to be
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side - The Smiths.
From the aforementioned album that I'm sure her Maj has on her ipod (other MP3s etc etc).
Have a wonderful weekend one and all
Much peace, huge love

Opening song today - what about perfect day just because Friday so often is as it heralds the weekend ..... or Golden Brown by the stranglers as wishful thinking to how beautifully we could be tanned if only the weather would actually buck up its ideas!!!

Long time no blog, babies are such hard work, no-one ever tells you they lik eall the things they shouldn't, like the fire, the dvd, the stereo, the cd rack. Serioulsy, who'd have toys when there are all those things to play with.
As a not so often these days blogger can I put in a request for ARF?

Specially for my cousin Lucy who has just got her degree results and got a first...yay lucy (although me, I wasn't that surprised!)

Mmmm...bacon butties. I'm been veggie for about 8 years now but every time Mr P has bacon sizzling away under the grill, I could jack it all in. Haven't succumbed yet though.

I think I caught the gobsmackers last night the first record really was great and I hadn't heard it in a while and the second was double dutch with its memories of two skipping ropes which I couldn't do.
Gingembre you have been amusing as ever even with a hangover - don't you know not to mix grape and grain after all this time of practicing. :)
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I will check back later and read the entries

Will try to stay about today, but I do have work to do...and it's quite nice to akshully be able to say that!
Pear cider. Is a bit of an acquired flavour, and took me about 1/2pt to aquire it. For those of you brave enuff, I can recommend 'Haymaker'. I think so-called because you have to go and lie on the grass somewhere cool once you've had a glass or two, and then can't get up for quite some time. Cheryl, right up your street I'd have thought...ahem...strickly in the festival sense of course...but never Ice...
Oho no

Re yesterday's blog: it's the thought that counts : )
Can't wait for the Drivetime Dinner Dance - will dust of little black dress in anticipation.
Grear idea re 'car appearances'. Methinks you need an 'automobile appearance agent'....I know just the gal. She understands that black is the new white, which was the new silver, she knows very little about cars (which is a good thing, not sure why, but it's my day off and I don't need to think of reasons today : )).......just let me know.
Easyjob: your posts are taking me way back when......way back to my gap year ('blimey, did they have 'years' back then', I hear you all cry).......I worked on a sheep farm in Wanganui, NI for 4 months. I did a tour of the SI which was .......wild. Nuff said. I remember blaming an appauling hangover on a dodgy prawn. I think the winds off Wellington had blown it off course, or something. Fab country. Enjoy
On another note......my inability to sustain a relationship manifested itself once more this morning. My boss urged me to purchase a tomtom (on the house, or dashboard to be precise but you know what I mean). Purchased one this morning. His name is Tim Tomtom. We had hardly exited the retail park together before we had had our first argument. It went like this:
Tim: Turn left
Me: I can't....they changed the layout
Tim: Turn left
Me: I TOLD YOU I CAN'T
he then ignored me for a few minutes until he retracked .......i've stuffed him in the glove compartment.
