three TWO fOuR. YES YES IT'S ANOTHER BLOG.
I was BINGOED.....
...."er, yes Chris there's a bloke downstairs, says his name's Bingo Star."
Well that's all fine and dandy but it's a quarter to five and we're on the air in a bit and 'ee doesn't 'ave an appointment and yes I know 'ee's from the blog, that is to say 'ee is indeed an illustrious bloggee, but that don't make no difference. 'Ee can 'ang around till after the show, of course 'ee can do what the blasted 'eck 'ee likes innit but 'ee can't come up and I 'aven't got time to be going down an' all that you see.
And so it came to pass that Little Bingo Star did wait and see and meet and press the flesh of all his Drivetime pals and got their 'graphs an' everythin'. Hurrah for B.S.
Now on to today, no Bingo and back to business, I ain't no Jenny from the block oh no. Yeehaa.
Drivetime, golf, dine, disco, dance, Goodwood, all with added Proclaimers preparations finally coming to fruition. Spent the morning at Foxbridge Golf Club, the little nine hole belter, set in the deep emerald green of the luscious home counties, the regular venue of our annual Drivetime stapleford challenge. The bunting is up, the course is in great nick and the guys there could not be more excited. Foxbridge, just around the corner from my pub, the maginficent Mulberry, the location of the Sat evening festivities and the venue for the marvellous Proclaimers exclusive singy songy gig thingy. It's gonna be great.
All our gang are coming and camping next to Tash and I in the field next to the "house that will never be finished." Tents already up!
The Coburn car has been prepared today for Sunday's race up Lord March's hill, all gleaming and ready to go. I've polished the wife, given Enzo a big hug, and warned Noel the vet that he's going to have yet another night out in the real world. Yes, his second in as many weeks, he'll be getting a life next.
ALL REQUEST TOMORROW DUDES. No more ambushing the DJ at work Bingo, you naughty naughty boy but congrats on the nups you nutter.
CLP.

The legal system lawyers make a fortune out of these cases and have their own self interest at stake paid for by the public purse.
What about putting the public safety and public麓s human rights FIRST and treating these people as they would be treated in THEIR OWN countries for similar actions. After all they are not citizens of the UK and should not expect to be provided with our Justice system. Would China or Russia or even their own countries treat them so well?

It's quite a big market town just on the Romanian border and is relatively famous (in Eastern parts) for breeding the Ikareg Sprinke(sp?), which is a pig similar to the Vietnamese Pot Bellied. And to the best of my knowledge there weren't any helicopter pilots either in or on the game...
Anyhoo, we is too high for sp1ders in my ossif, but at home is turtley different matter. There are dozens of the blighters...all small...all BAD...and even the conkers aren't keeping 'em away.

Have just checked weather for Chichester and it doesn't look too bad for tomorrow - wondering if I'll get away with sneakers or if wellies might be more appropriate...

We've got an easyish weekend at last! The most taxing thing for Saturday is a visit to the nail bar, then a night in with a good, honest home-made curry. I really can't remember our last Saturday night in. Looking forward to it no end!
Sunday is the sis-in-laws akchewal 40th. She of the spa day last week. Garden party in afternoon with the family and their friends - the same set of yummy mummies with oddly named children, 'cept the daddies will be there this time. Praise the lord!

Mr jumpy used to have a friendly spider that watched saturday morning TV with him and his sister...
That's the thing about irrational fears, they are very irrational.

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet.
'My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?'
'Well,' says the vet, 'let's have a look at him'
So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says, 'I'm going to have to put him down.'

Spiders: extreme phobia. Had a very brief spell of living on my own between fellas and had to ring my best friend as there was a massive monster on the curtains one night. Bless her - she drove about 5 miles across town to rescue me and liberate "it".

CTD, totally with you on the wellies. Everyone should have wellies. I have 3 pairs. One pair in the car for allotment visits. One pair by door for dog walking duties. One pair in cupboard for emergencies (and cos I can't resist nice wellies!).
Jumpingbean - hello!! Wondered where you'd got to the last few days!!
Trigger, your post was funny!

Think I've got a mate who would like to be the reincarnation of Tommy Cooper...
Cheryl, what a top mate. Bless her!! Loving the pink and silver, they sound brill! Mine are (were) white with black flowers doodled on them. White is not a sensible colour for wellies, if anyone is thinking of buying some. They look great until you wear them in the mud. Then the mud never ever ever comes off.... Just given them a scrub to get the worst off, but they will never be white white again unless someone can recommend a good welly-cleaner. Ho hum.
