Mange Tout. MPW!!!! You lucky ole so-and-so!!

As said on previous blog: he looks like the kind of fella that would eat you raw for dinner and devil you in the morn for breakfast.

Wow!!! Shall be glued to radio. Literally.

Much love

Cheryl The Diva x x x

PS: If you need a tea-lady for the afternoon ...... ! ! !

I absolutely adore MPW - he is dynamic, passionate, sexy, intelligent, caring, loyal, honest to himself and others,...

I could go on and on and on...

One of my heros and one of the guests at my end-of-time dinner party.

You may love this job, but we definitely love the results. Thanks to you too.

jx

Jen - I'm so glad you find MPW "sexy". whenever I mention that to female friends they appear to think I should be sectioned.

Now, pass the mustard if you please ....
x x x

Oh yes!!!!!

jx

LOL. Shall we both take the afternoon off and storm Auntie Beeb HQ!!?!? LOL!!

Buenos Dias one and all


Luncheon with MPW, beats a can of beans on the hoof anyday.

I hear from the programme that MPW is hosting a meal for 50 lucky viewers in Southampton so what do I have to do to gate crash! I can do silver service and carry three plates while walking backwards.

CTD

I am sure you would have a fight on your hands from Sally Traffic if you were to go in as the tea lady for the afternoon and i am sure MPW would have fun watching you both lovely ladies fighting over him!!!

in a mudbath, wickerman, in a mudbath.

i think i'd have the edge tho: i too see fluffy animals as potential portions and have a lovely curvy real woman belly - just as described by mr mpw on his programme last weds eve.


aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

CTD
Sounds good to me can i have the rights on selling on the DVD lol!!!

Afternoon all,
Well I got soaked yesterday morning, rode an epic race, broke away from the field with 3 of the 4 laps remaining, absolutely not knowing what I was going to do. Ended up getting 2mins on the bunch. Only to be caught 400m from the line by a group of 4 who had got away in the last lap. Got 5th place for all my efforts and was gutted for missing out on my first ever win....not that you needed to know that, just thought i'd share.

The new job is going well, in fact i'm really happy with it. I know it's the honeymoon period but who knows, this maybe the right move for me afterall. Who thought Internal Control could be so interesting!

TTFN
p.s. Chris could you get Capt Young to give me a call, he's bloomin useless at keeping in touch!

My goodness, so much to catch up on in only 16 hours!! CLP - Marco Pierre White, how cool is that???? I shall be glued to the radio (jen, CtD, can I come along with you to Auntie's place?).

MfR - any word on the job yet?

Bingo - ooooh, please tell!!

Tinsel - welcome back hon, glad you're getting settled and loving the new home.

CtD - I'd love a spa weekend, even with people I'm not keen on! As you say, a book can do wonders...

Keith, how did you get on yesterday?

And now for my big news - I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST THIS MORNING, WOO HOO!! Sorry for shouting, am very very excited. Dad has already put down the deposit for my new car, but I have to wait until the end of the month to get it. Did I mention how excited I am???

AF (exhausted, with big smiles) xx

ps Rusty, well done, even 5th is an achievement, and you've got something to aim for next time I guess. Glad the new job is going well, although I don't even know what Internal Control is, never mind whether it's interesting or not!!

AF x

ooh - so, MPW tomorrow, whats that about? I hope resident Nigie didnt get the tin-tack for the mention of doing that 'dance' in the phonebox the other week? I bet that gets BPd.

Hmm dont find MPW sexy as such - I get the 'men who do food' thing, but MPW, he has cruel cold eyes - look at them. brrrr

so I *brightly* need to hope for a traffic jam so I get to hear the whole thing.

But Coco - if I were you Id think long and hard about putting on a little black waiting staff outfit and hanging about for an hour or so beforehand - you never know!

Congrats CLP on the prizes for the motors

Mange Tout!

Hi all,

Cars schmars. How come all the women on woman's minute drive sexy top-down numbers with loads of letters after them? I've got a clapped out escort currently customised with dried-on bird poo and lined with starburst wrappers.
Missed second half of ARF last week because I was hiding in the bathroom from my ex-mother-in-law, even though she was only on the phone. She鈥檚 really sweet and everything but she can鈥檛 half talk and I didn鈥檛 want to miss the show, so when I heard Elder Teenage Daughter answer the phone while I was in the loo I quickly started running the bath (I knew she鈥檇 say 鈥淥h here鈥檚 Mum鈥� when she saw me). Anyway, 45 minutes later I was a shrivelled prune and she was still going. So I missed the D spot and everything!

Beesmum (from the other day), - I am indeed a part time teacher (well, not quite full time), only music though these days for local authority. Escaped from main-stream chalkface 2 years ago, partner still full-time Y6 teacher, don鈥檛 get me started鈥�..!

Realised today have exactly 3 weeks to achieve perfect beach-bod for Italy (starting somewhat from scratch) so spent half an hour on exercise bike this afternoon, tedium relieved by watching the finely honed, er, acting skills of Jonathan Rhys Meyers in an episode of the Tudors on DVD. Also trying Chris鈥檚 Plank thing, but not sure I鈥檓 doing it right.

Blooming rain.

So what`s going on with Rafael Nadal`s pants?


t x

Tabitha

Don't get me started hun ...... ! ! !

wowser. it's HOT in here!!

CtD xxxx

wickerman: the rights are yours, at the right price, of course!

Pleased your lunch went well, I'll enjoy listening and learning tomorrow evening while driving home from York. Quite a few years ago while on a trip to London, I ate at The Canteen at Chelsea Harbour. Alas I had come down with the most awful bout of cold and could hardly taste a thing. The one flavour which has remained with me though was the splendiforous Lemon Tarte - it was to die for - if only my taste buds had been up to the rest of the meal. Boy can that boy cook!! He could only be from Yorkshire (the best men usually are!).

Love, Jane xx

I find beans on the hoof infinitely preferable to beans on toast...but that maybe just me...with worcestershire sauce ideally.

Apologies missing in action last week, v poorly, then compounded by nightmare trip to Doctor...first time I have ever heard a Doctor use the b*11*cks word...and being a Laydee and all...a tad shocking...forchunettely he was sweating more than I was, so that was ok...

Speaking of Doctor. HOW FANTASTIC WAS DOCTOR WHO I CRIED MY EYES OUT AND BILLY AND CATHERINE WERE JUST TOO FAB FOR WORDS so I ain't gonna say any more...but that made for my fab weekend.

Christophe, you are one lucky boy, and it's lovely that you appreciate it too! Very well done on your prizes! My, but it was windy yesterday...

Please give our Marco my best...I have no questions, and like tout les autres, I think he's GAWJUS.

keep up the good work
love
hazel

ps Federer has a far nicer btm than Snr Nadal. Sorry, but there it is.

And indeed was.

Alright_Flower

Well done to you!!!!!

Va Va Voom!

Cheryl x x x x

Hazel .... but Rafa's got the better arms!

Cheryl xx

Yes indeed, what an exciting time last night.
My apostrophes are coming out as question marks.

And I'm with Hazel on the Federer issue, he also has a much more gorgeous face.

pps Well done Alright Flower!

...'tis the other eejits you have to keep a look out for mind!

Many congratulations!


CtD...hmmmm...yersssssssss....

rusty - I think internal control is exciting - but then I count beans for a living

alright_flower - well done - where do you live so i can send out a warning?

hazel_love - loved doctor who but v. jealous of billie - I want my own doctor who loves me - he is very cute :-)

super bp x

internal control. isn't that the tantric thingy mr and mrs sting get up to?

And lots of congratulations to AF, it took me 4 goes to pass mine but I still remember the day I did as one of the biggest and best achievements of my whole life. Enjoy!

Anne x

Ello CLP...........

BM xx

And 70 ter 80 plus - soz ter rub it in!!!!

And it's gonna go ter 95 ere in a few days - just when am comin' 'ome!!!!

Am so depressed now!

Yo B's Mum - It's ok, am easy, but not when it comes ter British summers!!!

Aye am listening ter CLP 'ere in an internet cafe.........

On 'eadphones.........

And 'e sounds very 80's DJ-ish........

Yer know Mike Read stylee!!!!!

No offence. It must be these 'eadphones......

Mind you I probally look like an 80's DJ........

Hopi ... it's not so obvious as to be about the body. It's the man. the commanding, in-control, firm, knowledgeable, bit dangerous but secure .... man!

Oh - and the chef's whites, of course!

Does anyone remember the pix of MPW took in the (I think) late '80s. Phwoar!!! And it's stayed there ever since.

Off home now via a supermarcardo. All this fun and frollicks at the weekend is fine, but the cupboards are sadly very bare.

Laters.

CtD xxxxxx

waering them......... okay yarrrrr eighthhhee.....

Eight toooo nineeeeee two FM!!!!!!!!!

Soz went abit DJ - ish then!!!!

Am outta ere gotta pack me cases.......

Poka!

Did Sally say Junc 5 M5 closed just then? Oh Joy - wont be able to get out at top of road to get to post!!!they'll all be coming through town! aaargh!

Beesmum xx

Evening each

Bingo: Shut up about the weather, right!

A-F: WELL DONE YOU!!!!!!!! CONGRATS.

Marco - smoozy, sexy, smouldering. I'd climb over Brad Pitt to get to him.

Anne xxx

Oh great and now my freeview dvd thingy aint gonna work - will let you know later!! I will not be a happy bunny!!

Beesmum xx

Lets just think about this - Federer eyes like a puppy so his eyes, in fact whole face, bottom, legs and nadals arms and Marco's cooking skills?

Anne - I'd climb over brad pitt to get to anyone!!!

Hopie/Pink pussy - I presume you enjoyed Dr Who!!!

Boley - broth. gave up - broth.- in -law part time private just sis and niece stuck in the nightmare teaching now so I know what you mean!!

Bingo - have a good trip - supposed to be better weather tomorrow then downhill big time!

Beesmum xx

Well done alright flower!!!!

Yes Dr Who was good, I also loved Last Choir Standing, I know it's embarrassing but I blubbed my eyes out.

How fab was the tennis? I know you all fancy Rafa but I prefer my men puny, Tim Henman yes please! Does anyone watch Shipwrecked? Nick, the survival expert in that, is right up my street. I'm afraid MPW doesn't do it for me, he looks too mad. I like men who look kind and gentle!

Coming to London on Friday to see Billy Elliot - have any of you seen it?

Em xx

Emma, I haven't but ex-husband went and said it was amazing. I'm dead jealous. Last show I saw was Cabaret with Julian Clary - stunning.

Yes Dr Who fab, jealous of Rose too!

Wow Beesmum, it's amazing you managed to avoid it yourself! Actually I love teaching, it's all the rubbish that goes with it that drives me mad.

Anyone else with moulting cats? I've just had to hoover the pool table.

Off to finish last night's curry.

Anne X

Boleyngirl: This is getting complicated. You'll be Anne and I'll be Annie. OK?

Anne (aka Annie) xxxx

Haha, internal control...tantric Sting et al. Hmm if only work was quite THAT interesting. I'm an Auditor.....the most popular people in any company I think you'll find ;-)

Rusty: You are soo not! Our Auditor is a lovely man, but rather boring methinks.

Must try harder.

Annie xxx

By the way folks: Remember the book Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks? What a lovely man. I emailed him the other day and he replied immediately! His house in France is free for people who need a holiday and can't afford it (like Carers, etc).

Please buy his books - he is a really caring person and trying to do something for those less well-off than him.

So different from Jools Holland, who has a Jazz House in Edinburgh which is never open. I emailed him last year to tell him his staff were crap and am still waiting for a reply.

Annie (aka Anne) xxxx

Anne, or Annie, you were Anne first so I can't come along and make you change your name, although that was very gracious of you! I'll call myself Annegirl as in Anne of Green Gables and you can keep the status quo! XX Did you ever wish you were called something more exciting? I wanted to be be Lucina!

I mean Lucinda.

Annegirl xx

Rusty our auditor loves coming here as work from home! one year plugged in shania twain video to watch whilst he worked! plus various other delaying tactics and toys!!

Boley - preparation preparation!! know what you mean! escaped cos broth. old enough to warn me and anyway I was Rob's dream - perpetual student until I was told get a job girl!

Em I blubbed to the choir too!

So far so good freeview thingy working and managed to get to post!

Beesmum xx

Boleyngirl: I'm quite happy to be Annie. Have been so bored with Anne all my life. I could be Laurielee, Daisy, Rosie, Pixie, etc. Named my daughter Lucy so she could be a little bit different. Named my boys strong Scottish names - Ian, Stuart. What does that say about me??

Anne (aka Annie) xxxx

Hey Annie, one or two people actually call me Annie, but mostly Anne. My brother used to call me Anne the Pan, I hated it. I named my girls Jessica and Naomi! Not sure about the strong Scottish influence - are you a Braveheart fan? Or, maybe, perhaps, Scottish?

Just dipping in and out of blog; mainly because spend so much time haranguing daughters to spend less time on msn/myspace/doggysnaps that I don't want to be caught out. Off in a minute for family viewing time - Lead Balloon I think.

Annegirl xxx

Definitely not a braveheart person. Scottish born, Geordie by preference - brought up there. My children are scottish born and bred!

Haranging daughters - been there, done that and never want to go there again Anne.

Good luck!!

Anne (aka Annie) xxxxx

Em, I was so excited about the choir show (at last, a talent show with people who actually have talent!), then I forgot to set the video d'oh!!

Take it I should watch next week!

AF x

Oh dear, that's when you know it's time to stop, I've just missed my mouth with the wine... Wouldn't mind, I've only had one glass. Although my wine glasses do fit 1/3 of a bottle...

Is anyone else around or am I just a lonely pint here? And why can't I get on FB? Time to give up I think, night all!

AF x

AF: I'm still here - and on FB. Browsing before going off to bed!

Anne (aka Annie) xxxx

Hiya, I'm here too.

Hope all's well with everyone.

Debbie xx

PS. Welcome back Tinsel.

Debbie: So nice to see you. How's you?

Anne (aka Annie) xxxx

Hello

I'm ok tonight, Mr Debbie read little man stories at bedtime to give me a break and I now have the lounge and tv to myself. It's the little things that go a long way don't you think?

Been lurking here for a bit and just thought I'd pop up and say hello!

Debbie xx

Debbie: So glad you popped up. Keep well and look after yourself my dear.

Anne (aka Annie) xxxx

Anne - Thank you! Off to watch some 'crap' tv (otherwise known as Big Brother) and to join Alright_Flower with a glass of wine I think. But I'm going to try not to spill any of mine :-)

Back soon
Debbie x x

Do not dribble girls! Such a bad move!

See you tomorrow.

Anne (aka Annie) xxxxx

AF that is so funny! been there done that and never when I've had too much - probably wanting to throw it down quick! like the sound of the big glass.

Lo Debb been a bit quiet - hope all OK? please don't watch b b it's rubbish - try the arnie film on 3 - I'm going to give it a go - if no good doggy playtime -- again!!

B Annie - feel a huge whinge coming on - not here prob fb - old gits - know what I mean aaargh?!!

Dreamer - are you there - alfie OK? told you doggy grew out of humping? just had a go at towel whilst I was drying him - Oh joy!

Beesmum xx

Evening all

I have been for a swim this evening to relieve some of the aches and pains from this old body!

I did the triathlon, thanks for asking. I did alright really I guess. I did the swim and cycle with little problem it was only when I got off the bike my legs felt like jelly. The run was a real struggle but hey I made it and I always knew the run it was my worst discipline. I finished it and am pretty certain I was not last so woop! woop!

A-F congratulations on passing your driving test your clever thing! x

I missed the tennis, was it any good? ;-)

Keith the NotSoBigUn
xx

Congratulations to Keith and Alright Flower on your achievements.

I've been out playing badminton then did 10 lengths of the pool and hit the steam room followed by the jacuzzi - how did I ever manage before without the healthy club??

A very good evening to everyone else and I will be listening into the show for MPW's answers to questions enroute over to Blandford.

Hiya to Beesmum, Hazel, Debbie and all the bloggers

Awww! Keith just been on fb to see how you are and didn't like to wake you just in case - well done my man - unbelievable achievement. put on my fb how you lost 10st. not quite that much to lose!! but if it involves triathlons - erm erm don't think so!! Many congratulations.

again - congrats to you too AF!! - we're safe
until the end of month before vehicle delivered?

Phoenix - please swop with me for a week - could manage blog 80 at least 7 times a week!! any job news?

Beesmum xx

ps B annie too tired to moan - will tell tomorrow! may have calmed down by then!

PS Keith - the tennis was good - the bit I saw - but prob as much energy those two guys together compared to your goodself on triathlon!!

BM xxx

CLP - Watched Top Gear!

BM x

viewing figures may be correct?
BMx

morning morning morning

It's still really quiet in here innit? I popped in last night but couldn't join in with the chat as Mr Diva was watching some awful film on Sky (300?) and I was banned from "tippy tapping" the keyboard!!

I had a major Diva-style hissy fit this morning tho. I fancied a bit of Door en route to work and couldn't find my Doors CD anywhere. Turned the house upside down. No CD.

Ladies: whatever you do, do not allow your man to "file" the CDs - you will never again find anything where you tihnk it should logically be!

So, I settled for The Cure and it was fab!! Now feel like curling up in an old black jumper and pushing my thumbs thru holes in the cuffs and being all morose and goth-like.

But, I've got work to do.

Blaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

MPW and Mr Ramsay tonight - wey hey!!

CtD xxxx

PS: any news from DD, EJR, MfR, DtM ... ?

CtD

Agh - went home immediately after my post so didn't see your brilliant suggestion...

Outside Aunty Beeb's with balaclavas and black tracksuits - maybe we could kidnap him!

But what time?

jx

PS: Top Gear: the calendars the lads had for their main item this week: well, the firm Mr Diva works for printed 25 calendars for each of them but the end results were "too professional" so the Top Gear team customised them to make them look cr@p!!

You heard it here first!!

xxxxx

Ah Jen - d'ya think he'd like to be kidnapped? I guess he'd be ok if we let him smoke and kept him entertained!!! lol!!

xxxx

emma - I have seen Billy elliot - it is good but they don't play that song from the film which is a tad annoying- also there is an awful lot of swearing!

Ctd - always file the CD's and then he messes them up again as nothing ever gets put back - lost my Romeo and Juliet by tchsocsky which is a tad annoying!

super bpx

CtD - Oh yes!!!!! LOL I'm sure we'll think of something and even if he is a tad piqued, he is gorgeous when he smoulders.

And HL - absolutely bawled my eyes out at Dr Who... Felt sad for the rest of the night, his little face when he watched himself kiss his love! Heartbreaking. Brilliant acting on the part of him, Ms Billie and Kathryn Tate. Really brilliant. SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO glad he didn't transform or whatever it's called.

have a great day all, I've go so much work on.
jx

SuperBP - Mr Diva has snaffled all the "rock" CDs to his storage cabinet and I've got the remainder. Trouble is, 50% of the "rock" CDs are mine!!! Subsequently, all my old Queen stuff, Foo Fighters, Placebo etc etc are in "his" cabinet, whilst mine is full of compilation albums, Take That, Robbie, my goth collections, 80s pop, Roxy Music, Elvis Costello, Boomtown Rats, punky stuff etc etc.

And no, I'm not ashamed - I purchased them all after all!

Super bp, all the way down all the comments, and I'm loving 'tchsocsky'...although I prefer the prokofiev m'self...hope you find it.

Amongst the great lost cds I've had a fair few 'appropriated' (or should I say MISappropriated) by so-called friends because I don't lend them out. Much screeching and crashing ensues (right up there witcha CtD...) and I've still never 'found' 'em either. Wouldn't mind so much but these people have been GUESTS in the Sett!!!

Anyhoo, am now rather pleased with self as have just managed to use the word 'permutations' not only once, but TWICE in the same five minutes, to different people no less...

beesmum, tinsel, phoenix, the ever-decreasing Keith, Lord Dissing, MfR, the Gabster, jillygoat...susans, cococococo, oh and everyone...all the Ems...all the Anne/ie/s...

and now I have piles
so better shoot off and look bizzie with the fizzie

Rafa's arms, Fed's btm, and if I had Brad Pitt in the room as well, I'd consider myself a VERY LUCKY GAL!

oho yersssss
love
hazel

Jen, I watched it again on Sunday too...and it's repeated again on Thursday I think...such good telly...such good acting...and so terribly sad in a not really happy way...he'll never get to know what happens to the other doctor...

...or will he?

The Master never quite went either diddee...merember the ring...and where did the Doctor's daughter go???

So many questions, so little time...

And the Christmas episode? Can't wait. This is not just Doctor Who...this is Marks and Spencers Doctor Who...

This is not just food, this is MARCO PIERRE WHITE.

It's all go innit!

H/L - laughing out loud in the office "I'm loving it..."

Not sure Donna's input is finished either - there was a BIG focus on her ring when the Doc said his goodbyes - maybe linked to the Master's ring. I never got to see the Daughter episode - methinks I may watch it tonight in t'office after work (being as how I have no t'internet at home).

And as to sett-visitors misappropriation, don't I just know exactly what you mean! Mouldy ole dough single - pooof, gone.
Making plans for Nigel - pooof, gone.
Surviving on milk n'alcohol - poooof, gone.
All Mod Cons (signed by all my dorm mates) - ditto, poooof, gone

And some of my favouritest cardies...

How can some people continue to look in the mirror?

jx

PHWOAR .......... Tinsel comes roaring in, tongue hanging out at the thought of MPW ... remember when he did that celeb kitchen thingy, he was brill and they all fell in love with him!! He's a bit of a rufty tufty bloke - just my type (along with gorgeous Gordon of course!)!!!

Debbie, lovely to see you too :-)) Hope you're enjoying BB as much as I am! Loved it when Rebecca drew on Dale's face last night - and when Luke got fake-tanned. HIWAAAAAAAAWIOUS!

Round Ireland with a Fridge - a brilliant book. I defy anyone not to enjoy it. I love Tony Hawks, he's so funny. (He's got a lovely hairy chest too.)

T xxx

Morning all. Really am not into cars at all and Top Gear? Cannot stand the b****y thing.

CtD - glad your spa day went better than my hen do. Luckily, we didn't have to wear deeley-boppers although the bride-to-be was in a ghastly, 80's style veil. Bless her.

What are the silly baby names? Please tell. I always read the Births section in the local rag for a giggle. Do you know Chardonnay is featured in the top 100 most popular baby girl names list?

Congrats to the new house peeps (jumpingbean and tinsel) and to AF (for being able to tear up the roads and those L-plates).

Phoenix - good luck with the interview. Let us know how you get on.

Debbie - long time no see! x

Mr P is away in London until Friday, which sucks but on the plus side, I can enjoy a Hugh Grant movie marathon without him tutting and eye rolling in the background.

Every cloud and all that...

Rosie x

AND CARDIES!!! I too have lost cardies. One particular one that was like a bumble bee.

Right load of Alans the lot of them...(for that read Rik Mayall...)

Pshaw etc.

Tinsel, I just got the funniest picture in my head...and how can you tell a happy motorcyclist?

Ooh Rosie, can I come over for the HG-fest? Which ones are we watching? Will bring wine and choccies!!

AF xx

ps watched Love Actually yesterday afternoon - Jump!!!

Getting Bingo'd!

I GIVE UP!!
