can I be number one?

super bp x

woohoo - I wonder what song he will play?

Yeh - go on!!

I hope CLP is still in his amazingly happy happy mood. I feel soooooooooooo hacked off I could do with getting completely trollied tonight!

Nearly 5.05 ...... who will it be .....

Thanks for the update on Enzo. You must be so happy what with everything going on, newly baby, newly wed, newly home, and newly fixed dog coming to newly home.

Not that you needed reminding.

Slimes all round.

MW, a!

It's a good feeling isn't it, getting past that first 3 months! Here's to the next 6 or so :)



SOOOOOOOoooo good to hear about Enzo, glad that he's hop-along-happy - I like that thought about God giving dogs 4 legs so that if necessary they could get along on 3! Means he's mobile, hurrah - and hurrah that he'll be home soon!!



AAAAAHHHH listen to that guitar intro!!!!!!!!

Hi Chris

I had tears in my eyes when I read your blog today. Thought that Enzo, was going to the big doggy heaven. Then I read he was having his leg off, he will soon be runing around with Beth, having fun again.

Mel xx

hey all...

...pic of me and charlie on fb

KWx

I think there were several blogees that requested this one. Well done chaps and chapettes

Very very cool track. I like squeezing my vocals to try and get as squealy as Axl Rose. Its an anagram y'kno - of Lax Sore.

MW, a!

Grrrrr .... why do people decide to invade your office and talk nonsense just as ARF starts????

Sooooooooooooo annoying!!

Good choice - and yes, that geeeeetar intro sends chills down ya spine!!

CtD xxxxx

Oh my, top track take two!

CtD - you alright hun?

MW, a!

Who really ought to go do something else

Chin up diva, home time soon.X X

Soooo pleased Enzo will be home soon.

Now, Steve Tyler - I would like to squeeze his vocals.





I'll get my coat

The power of music. Mental images of a young Axl in his leather trews, closely followed by the amazingly-gifted-in-the-arms-department Mr Tyler ....

I'll be OK guys and gals. Just feel a bit .... flat fridayish.

CtD xxxx

Mariella, i've been heading to the bath since 1 p.m! Must go now, will have to take Chris with me.

Jules - I took Ben Elton into the bath with me last eve!!

am new here first time!! First Track was brill, glad enzo on the mend and wishing mr n mrs E all the best

love the show, as does my Bo xx take care n be well peeps

Ha Ha
From choice it would be Chris, a couple of firemen and Alan Davies......and a bigger bath.

Diva :) It's Friday and it's nearly hometime! 2 Top Tracks already - I love ARF :)

Going to have to install a radio in the kitchen in our next house - got hubby and pal in living room reading so couldn't have radio as loud as I wanted!

Given up cooking so I can listen to the radio! Bad wifey :)

Go you Gingembre!! Just checked you out :)

Must cook - back later!

jumpingbean

CtD - have seen your comment on FB. About a change, just for a day.

You naughty naughty minx.

just done the O spot for first time with my daughter looking forward to D spot soon, normally at work, but on hols today

As long as he doesn't play Ghostbusters tonight!!!

OMG what was Johnny on!

DD out

Jules - I guess my bath-pal of choice (apart from Mr Diva!) would have to be the wonderful Mr Brand ... he's quite skinny so there'd be a fair bit of room in there!!

With a nice bottle of bubbly, sitting in lovely scented bubbles, with a few candles twinkling for the ambience!

Aaahhhhhh!!

What a video eh DD! And bless him, Mr Saunders doesn't even appear to mind!!!


I hope they DO play ghostbusters tonight - surely somebody needs to call and request that one ;)

Your blogs just made me cry. I thought the worst when I started reading about Enzo but that is fantastic news - please please let him start to really live it again - bless his strong heart.

Congratulations to you and your fam

Liz xxx

I`m no expert on baby scans, but, either that`s an umbilical cord or, look out girls!


mj

And the best thing about that, is that Mr Brand is teetotal so there's be more bubbly for ME !!!!!

Hurrah!!!

Mw,a! - ooops. couldn't help myself. gone now tho.

evening all - how good is the music tonight? CLP really does have discerning listeners.
Don't fear the reaper - one of my faves!

Time to grab a beer I think.
Carol x

Chris, when does my madness end, as I`ve had enough after so many years!


A V

Stunning vid! I'm not even sure Johnny was aware of what planet he was on!

Diva

your turn

DD out

Off home now gang. Have grand weekends whatever you're up to!!

DD - will do it tonight. Just for you!!

Diva x x x

Oh so please to hear Enzo's good news and baby too.

He should manage well on 3 legs - Enzo that is, not the baby, as my boy has his rear nearside leg missing and pulls like heck on the lead.

JS

Can't wait, safe journey!!

Greetings and Salutations from Vancouver,

Having read the commentary appertaining to the negativity being touted by a small minority on this blog, I can but add a brief thought.

When Chris announced the joyous personal news of his and Natasha's pregnancy, I am sure most us wished them the most hearty congratulations. For those who did not wish share the outpouring of support and well wishes, I would suggest that you have every right not to comment accordingly.

What you do not need to do is add vitriolic diatribes or deliberately obtuse words that are not in keeping with the truly magnanimous spirit that exemplifies this most worthy of forums. In short, we are all entitled to an opinion but with respect, we do not condone those who wish to vandalise this blog with patently nasty and irritatingly jejune outbursts designed to fragment rather than unite.

Life is short and to that end, we should celebrate the good, deal with the bad and do both with admirable honour and a communal respect.

I thank you and wish you all the very best of weekends.

Dr. T

Dr T we all wish the same, ppl let off steam in wrong places, chris is so off the wall n excited its brill to listen to!

b e happy peeps

Oh hello Dr T

What are you talking about exactley what comments do you refer too actually?

If this madness doesn`t end soon I may take my life, it`s that...


A Viewer

Hello.....AViewer......don't do it......!!!

just got funny looks from the neighbours for deliah-ing in the front garden.... HA HA HA.... oops.

I'm home! And in one piece.

Sally's Delilah hahahahas are definitely turning into cackles ..... calm down Sal!!!

Back laters.

Are we whining tonight?

CtD xx

Friends.

I have just tried to trawl through the past few hours worth of posts and in the end I gave up.

All this bickering is silly. I seem to recall we ended up in this state once before.

Well. We survived that, so we shall survive this too.

Either way, I am now officially on holiday.

Not actually 'away' on holiday (bar a couple of nights at the seaside), but nonetheless, 'not at work'.

I tell you what. An hour in and it already feels pretty good.

Have a great and peaceful weekend. Lets leave all the negativity behind when we log in here. After all, in one shape or form we all come here for some kind of solace.

Well, I do, anyway, and me makes me feel sad when I see old place in a mess, with cushions strewn all over, bits of crisps on the carpet and finger marks all over the windows.

Chill out people.

Love

MfR

lo me too, first time with my daughter D time happy days

Hurray! Whine Club! And it is not at all exclusive absolutely everyone join in.

Make it a Cup of Tea Club even.

Can I please add remember to always drink alcohol responsibly ;-).


Debbie x

love the crisps n dirty windows etc makes mer happy we have fun in our house, we been to beach today sand everywhere lol but fabulous day

always do.......only one drink at a time lol

Reminds me of the one about the Roman soldier who walked into a pub.
"A martinus, please barman" he said.
"Don't you mean a martini?" asked the barman
"If I'd have wanted a double I would have asked for one" said the Roman.

MfR, me too, me too, it's been such a long time coming! Great show tonight, off to enjoy the rest in the kitchen and have a large glass of wine without an 'h'.

Happy weekend to one and all.

Anne x

OH MY GOD!!!!!!

I just heard! Fantastic news Chris and Tash and congratulations to you both. Are we thinking girl or boy! I'm thinking a beautiful baby girl with strawberry blonde hair! Love to you both xxx

Sorry havent been on here for ages, honestly I just don't feel in the blogging mood at the mo but everything is good with the fella and off to london to see kylie next saturday.
Love to you all , missyxxx

what a great show, first time I've managed to get logged in as my two girls are being good, vee good

Congrats Chris and Natasha!

Ps you need to buy everything in my shop! I watched you in my early twenties and you got me out of bed in my late twenties in London and now you're my only sanity as a WAHM - thank you!

CLP know I`ve done nothing wrong, but, if you do something wrong to someone you should at least say sorry.

Best wishies with the new one


A Viewer xxx

xadoc lol

to everyone happy weekend

Hello Missy good to hear that things are going well for you! x

JenEwan are you still lurking? Come back to the blog please if you are still intending to stay away.

Otherwise I shall start posting what I'm having for breakfast, lunch and tea everyday ;-) x

Debbie

PS. After a week I'll start adding the snacks in between too. And trust me, there are many.

Hi Debbie

Sorry I don't think I will be coming back and Ted and Jen if they have any sense.

The blog is ruled by a few and no longer is the friendly intelligent place it once was sadly.


The only answer is name detilas so the ´óÏó´«Ã½ can see that one person has one log in and not 100's


good evening.

Eleanor

You have been funny and witty on this blog. I would like to see you back on here, back on form.

Maybe, probably, I am very naive. But I think there is something here for everyone. At times it's witty, at times quite deep.

Bring to it what you can.

Wish you well
Debbie x

Hi Eleanor/coco, hope you are okay. I think a lot of us are thinking of not posting to the blog. I personally am concerned I am not witty, interesting, unoffensive, offensive, serious, light hearted enough to fit with the various expectations of all the other bloggers. It's a minefield out here!
Anyhow. do you watch F1. I missed the British GP but am hoping I'll see some of the German one.
I wonder what music the beeb will use when coverage reverts to bbc1?

Thank you Debbie It was my intention to add a bit of satrical humor that's all really.

But hey times move on and on that note I say

Have a good weekend one all all


Buenos Noches.

Oh I actually feel quite sad right now.

I tried to contact someone on facebook and they have gone. I think. Or I'm blocked or something.

Sorry if I've said something to offend.

I'll be back later.

Debbie x

Sorry that was Satirical....

Debbie not on facebook any longer myself.

Dr T

Did you used to present 'The Good Old Days' on the TV back in the day?

I especially liked the phrase 'irritatingly jejune outbursts' .

Shall we all have a chorus of 'Down at the old Bull and Bush'?

I think I'll join A-viewer off that cliff.
See you peeps.

Oh dear me lol TT best we leave before we get all the comments.

Jules 77 don't do it

Eleanor I know, I just tried to send you a message.

I really must go now and have a break while Mr Debbie gets the child ready for bed.

Bugger responsible drinking and all that. Back with a glass in front of me later.

Debbie x

CLP I too thought that Enzo was for it when you started the blog....am so glad hes hopping around and cannot wait to see pics of him at home with his loving family...he will make a great "grandog" for the baby :)

Sara xx

Soory Debbie but for me I can't really see the point in facebook . I think you have my email.


But to be honest still laughing at TTT . Must go ....

Evening each!

MFR and Dr T - incredibly wise words as ever.

But enough on that subject.

Fantastic show tonight - managed most of it which is unusual _CLP is just buzzing, you can hear it in his voice!

Nothing else really to add but just wanted to pop in before dinner and say hi to everyone on this miserable,wet but FRIDAY evening!

mSc x

PS - CtD, want to send u a virtual hug even tho i`m a total stranger - u seem to have had an uppy downy few days... hope the weekend (and some wine) settles it all down for you..

No I don't, not clever enough to make a note of them!

Looking forward to seeing pictures of Enzo when he's back home Sara!

Debbie x

PS. I really am off Eastender is on!

This isn't a minefield.

It is a happy place where people who share Chris' outlook on life, and those that don't, can air their views on life, maybe share some of their own experiences, traumas or joys, on a daily basis, or simply now and then, when the mood takes them.

No strings, no rules, no membership requirements.

The only caveat is that most people here are big fans of Chris' and will take offence when anyone knocks him. But hey, it is his blog, after all, so that is to be expected.

I've been coming here from the start and I'll keep coming here until the end. Chris is a fine fellow and everyone here is a friend of mine (virtually).

Be happy.

MfR

MfR - here here!

Well said that man!

Feel a lot cheerier now. Amazing what 2 hours of ARF, a nice email from a mate, a good dinner cooked by Mr Diva and a bottle of Hen's Tooth can do to oneself!

Off to put PJs on. Back in a mo.

CtD xxxx

Evening all,

Well said MfR! Enjoy your holiday, hope the sun shines for you and Mrs MfR xx

Chris - Good to hear Enzo is on the mend and will be home with his loving family soon xx Have a great holiday xx

Take care all
Mary xx

We now have a clear weekend. We were meant to be going to a BBQ tomorrow but the lady of the house isn't very well, so they've postponed it. The weather looks dire anyway!

So - for the first time in I don't know how many weekends, we've got nowt on. The calendar. Which means a weekend free of make-up!! Hurrah!! My skin will be grateful!!

Mr Diva now playing orks or something on the PS3.

CtD

PJs at 8pm? Tsk. A rock chick like you?

One last thing, and I promise it will be.

I know most of you are not going to enjoy a week off next week, but Mrs MfR will be at The M on Tuesday, just prior to heading down to the coast for a couple of days.

If you are there, and can find us, I'll start to repay my drinks debt.

Chris. You are included, of course.

Peace

MfR

Oh wowser what a lot has happened in the last day or so.

Big congratulations to Chris and Natasha and also to Billie and Laurence - great news all round.

The first record choice was really rocking and I loved it.

I got the glasshouse contract job and start next week - coco you know the place I am on about.

Good to hear Enzo is on the mend and will be home soon - hope your new house is finished before the baby gets here.

A big thank you to all the bloggers for your support whilst I've been down, up, down and lost during my job hunt - you know who you all are.

Gingembre - Prince Charles meet wow you really get the kudos this week *gets on knees and raises arms up and down* :) lol

Mfr and all such lovely words.

Loads of new bloggers, please hang around and blog more you are all welcome here.

I was on the cava last night after watching the fireworks as couldn't drink alcohol until I got home as it was my mum's 70th Birthday (she doesn't look over 60 though) we had fish and chip supper with volunteers from RNLI branch and the crew brought the boat around for anyone to look over and ask questions - such heros.

MW,a another Discworld fan I see.

Nice one Phoenix.

Good luck with the job.

Keep blogging. We need more like you.

MfR.

Hiya Matt,

Yes I ended up this week with 2 second interviews and an invitation from a MOD company to attend a meeting next week. I was in despair a few weeks back - weaping and feeling very sorry for myself.

The healthy place helped and the people on here were so supportive making everyone laugh with craziness - just look back at the red wine night. EJR's posts of his holiday in NZ awesome and made us think.

This job is a different path from the crossroads and I think will be challenging and certainly interesting, its only 6 months contract but might be extended to 12 months if all goes well.

Much appreciation to CLP and all drive time team and bloggers.

To all those lurking, I was like that and one day took the plunge and have never looked back, yes I am on FB but don't use it a great deal as the others will tell you.

Corkscrews at the ready.

I'll be drinking white. With 2 sugars if you don't mind.

It must be a rock chick of a certain age thing to be putting on the PJ's nice and early. Mine will be on once dinner is et and shower is had after a mini gym work out

MW, a!

MfR - yep, PJs well and truly on. Rock chick! Think you just made my night hun!!!

The rain is battering against the windows and the Hen's Tooth is reaching nearer the bottom of the glass.

Just popped over to MyFaceSpaceBook to see what's going on - requests left, right and center, scrabs, posts .... busy ole place over there!

Where's AnnieG tonight then?

And Debbie.

Phoenix - rising from the ashes! Well done you, and the very best of luck with your forthcoming challenge.

Oh - Matt: won't be able to get to The M, but will you and Mrs MfR be joining us in Docklands in October?

Just have a few a things to do, then time to chill.

My shoulders are so sore, will probably sit in front of the pc with a hot wheat cushion drapped over them.

Wine and lavender. Bring it on.

Back soon
Debbie x

Oh dear, a little boy has appeared at the bottom of the stairs. Needs a few more stories so it seems.

Don't go anywhere!

x x x

Well, that may well be possible.

I don't do 'Facecloth', so you'll have to put the full details on here.

All is calm in Rudgwick.

Sporting my 'Never Mind The.....' t-shirt, I feel strangely calm, and looking forward to 'me time' over the next few days.

It is important, isn't it? 'Me time', I mean.

Don't get me wrong. Mrs MfR and I are so damn close and in love, but sometimes a little time alone is a good thing. I'm thinking I'll take my bike out around the Surrey Hills, or maybe just run. Alot.

Like Forrest.

Either way, we'll then be together for our trip to the seaside at Urb......

Oops. Nearly divulged our destination.

Anyway. Half a week for me, half a week for us.

Perfect.

I really will stop rambling soon.

MfR.

LOL!! Just had a look at my "wall" over on Facecloth. When Gingembre's Brucie pic first appeared I asked him about it. He replied like a good polite Gingembre that "yes he is as lovely in real life. we were on play your cards right in 1996".

Thing is, Gingembre has now changed his pic and it looks like he was on PYCR with Price Charles!!!

Nice one. Quality!!!

Gingembre - will you please hurry back. The blog needs you!

Thanks x x

I CAN READ IT! CAN YOU ????

Hope noone minds me posting this but ive just been sent it..Its an oldy but a goody! and by the sounds of the amount of wine, beer and other alcoholic drinks being downed here tonight then it may be easier in a few hours!

Enjoy!

Cat and Canary

Hurrah!!! Near Museum In Docklands on the DLR

Lunchtime onwards.

Got that!?

Good! It'll probably be deleted soon!

CtD - mine can be like that on a Monday morning so there`s no hope!

mSc x

LOL!! It takes until Hump Day (almost typed Jump Day there!) to get going, then by that tine, it's time to wind down for the weekend!

CtD: Annie G has entered the blog. Glass of red to hand. So glad that all is well in Diva Towers tonight.

Phoenix: Also glad that your world is getting better.

Anne xx

Yay!! Hello AnnieG. My glass is empty now :-(

But I'm a happy little Diva ! xx

Was that aimed at me Matt? I was trying to help build bridges,
Thanks

..and as for a Friday night and after a few glasses of something alcofrolic......!

I feel like getting rip roaringly merry tonight but have to work tomorrow... booooooo.. :(
You guys`ll just have to do it for me!

Cheers!

mSc x

And I read that, no bother. Am I a strange person?

Jules: Pour a glass of something and pull up a chair.

No stanger than the rest of us Anne. What is normal, after all? I'd hate to be normal.
