As usual, timing is impeccable. Thanks Chris!

I wanna say outburst, but think it may be too obvious.

MW, a!

Hi Chris,

Crossword? Not a chance! I wish I had the intelligence!

But I have to say to you, I LOVE reading my daily newspaper at lunchtime or in the evening when I get home. Yes, I know it's usually all rubbish and usually all "old" news, but I like it!

The news can be depressing, but for me, I have to know a wee bit of what's going on the world.

Next stop? Getting up at 4am to hear the Shipping News - that's what lies ahead for me and MrS!

C xx

MWa - and too many letters?!

How about yobdraw?

I'm with you Chrissie - I buy the Telegraph on a Sat just because it has so many sections I can take them into work and they keep me going through the week!!

T xx

Oh dear.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

7 letters you say.

Not outburst then, is it!

Dumb schmuck!

MW, a!

I don't usually go for the cryptic clues but the quick ones to be honest.

'study backward boy and cause outrage'

I haven't a clue ;-)

x x x

I hope someone gets it cos it's going to annoy me now!! I do think it might be something to do with yob. Yobbish??

Anyway, home time for poorly Tinsels, see you later.

Celeb Come Dine With Me tonight - woo hoo!!

T x

I think all the morning papers were out of date this morning.

Like Tinsel I think the word is Yobbish.

TTT De Nada

Posters are done. Have said he needs medication, which is a bit of a fib, but might appeal to some heartstrings.

Also booked tomorrows meal as me and him celebrate our 1st anniversary. That'll be another sha tin feast then. Read it slowly, but its more delicious than it sounds.

Currently have the made from scratch totally home made stroganoff doing its doobrie for tonight.

Had hisself in a fit of giggles earlier. We were discussing libido and fluctuation of such. He offered to go searching for it, I suggested he use a sniffer dog. Don't really know why he found it so funny....

anyhoo, enuff now,

til later,

MW, a!

Good luck Mariella, really hope that you find him soon.

We're back at the vets tonight with Betty this time. She has a poorly eye, doesn't look very nice. I never knew dogs had a third eye lid.

x x x

I'll be heading around the M25 yet again tonight to visit the student vet up in Potters Bar, so i'll have longer to enjoy the show...horaah!
Fast news day today for sure, for once i'm glad I don't have any savings ;-)

Crossword answer - scandal

TTT

Good luck finding the cat Mariella. We have one who disappears for days at a time, then re-appears when it suits him. Very worrying at first but we just had to get used to it. Last time he was away for 6 days and I really thought we had lost him, until I spoke to neighbouring farmer to told me he had seen a cat matching his description at his farm, so I went there and found him and took him home!

Gail.

Get all the news i need off the radio - after all, it's constantly up to date.

Afternoon each

Love The Scotsman. A bit parochial but has a good crossword. I'm with TTT on the answer Chris. Do let us know on your programme.

The only crossword I can do is the easy one in The Glasgow Herald. Obviously aimed at stupido folks.

xxxx

Hi Chris
We buy The I........., every day, but they have increased the price, by 25%, How is that justified? May be they are going to buy one of the banks out. Do you think that £1 for a daily newspaper is a good buy? I think they may have lost a customer, we have been buying it since it came out. Which is quite a few years. I wonder how many people will also not be buying it. My partner will miss the crossword, as that is the first thing he does when he opens the paper.

Mel xx
Loved the bubble show yesterday.

Hello all!

Just as I suspected little kitten pooped at granny's. Sorry to hear about your cat wondering off mariella. No good at crosswords and am sort of babysitting the work's child!

'Won't get fooled again' the full version, Chris you beauty!!!!!!

Ola!

TTT - hate to admit it but I think you're right, must be all that culture you immerse yourself in!

My favourite newspapers are the Sunday ones which like Tinsel can last me a few days. What was that ad - the Sunday Times IS the Sunday papers.

Debbie, hakuna matata, that's one interview under the belt. And I think it's a very healthy sign that LM was looking forward to going home with someone else! So much better than been clingy.

Chrissie, thanks for raising that important issue of the vaccination, expect wll have to make that decision meself soon. Teenage girls argh!

I love the CLP blog.

Thanks to gingembre and fab jbd123 for your comments, I will let you know what I decide, it's great to get so many points of view. And welcome to the blog Fab Girl!

That's it for now,

Afternoon, evening, saluatations to you all

Firstly, newspapers. Love 'em. But not the scary-mary broadsheets. Oh no, I'm a tabloid girl. Raised on tabloids. Fave tabloids are the Sunday tabloids. Full of delicious gossip and non-entities and hardly any news!! Plus you tend to get trashy mags with them. Result!!

Also love Thursdays, as it's the day our beloved local paper comes out, the Free Press. It's not really free. It's 40p or so. It truly is to journalism what jam donuts are to weight watchers! Love it. Especially the WI Round-Up page. Some of the speakers they have in just must be made up .....

And can someone please explain the crossword answer. I was working on something "yob" too. Mind you, my crossword limits are women's weekly mags - and I never win a price despite texting my answers in in good time!

MW,a! hope you find kitty kitty kitty - which one is it? Although from memory they are all adoreable.

How was Errol's Christmas Lunch?

And yum yum to the Sha Tin feast. Enjoy!! I will be thinking of you both with envy - it was truly delish.

And yes, a match would be good. As in footie. Not arson.

Well, the meeting went ok. I guess in hindsight it was a good job I was there really: although I revealed my adeptness at a certain software package we're shortly getting and have now "lumped" with the training of half a dozen staff in DTP shennanigans! Hey ho!

Left work at half three and survived the scary-mary dentist lady. I told her I was very nervous as i'd never seen a hygienist before and she was truly wonderful!! Now have shiny, cleaned and gleaming pegs to smile at people with.

Annie - I missed you!!!

Hurrah for Come Dine ... tonight but will have to tape as it clashes with The Restaurant (come on Michelle and Russell!!!)

Hello to everyone else I've not mentioned - may be back later for a chat!

Love, peace and Rock and Grohl

CtD xxx

PS: Isn't it Scoob's birthday today????

Ahh Cheryl, nice you missed me. Check out FB re Scooby's birthday card.

Me too re the Sunday mags. Buy them, discard the news and wallow in the mags - love them. Especially the horoscopes (which I don't believe, really).

xxx

Well what a day.

Betty has conjunctivitis, she had an accident in the car on the way to the vets. Nice, thanks Betty!

Now mobile phone broken. Can't make or receive calls but texts are ok. Visit to the phone shop tomorrow now and have to spend all night writing phone numbers saved.

Sorting out tea now, back in a bit.

x x x

Poor Betty. But not nice having whoopsies in the car. Hope she is suitably ashamed.

Annie - not seen any card for Scoobs: will investigate!

Ello,

Debbie C - Betty aving woopsies in the car..... reminds me of a Frank Spencer sketch aka from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em!!!!!

Poka!

Cheryl - a scandal is an outrage and "dal" is "lad" backwards and a lad is a boy!

Hey Annie, with 16th party loomin need to know you're on hand!!

Debs, you must be due some good karma soon!

Bingo that properly made me laugh out loud had to explain to Mr Debbie what was so funny.

I like the sound of some good karma thanks boleyngirl. Good luck for tomorrow Anne.

Mr Debbie fixed my phone hurray! And a few days ago he told me I looked pretty (?!) Must have been the lighting.

Ahh Debbie. You need someone to tell you??
Your photo on FB is lovely.

Anne xxx

MAkes you wonder why people bother with newspapers these days doesn't it.

Good show tonight Chris :) nice one.

steve

Bless you and thank you Anne!

But after half hour of chasing LM around I'm a hot, bothered, red faced etc. Just ask Cheryl she'll tell you...hehe.

Boleyngirl, forgot to mention, he used to be mega clingy. The playgroup asked me not to bring him for a while because he used to be sick once I left him. So I was nicely amused this afternoon, he is like a different child now, so confident.

Newspapers by the way....I used to get the Daily Mail but got very irritated with it. I now get the Mirror which does quite nicely for now. I skim through it in the morning. Lunchtime pick out the bits I've missed and teatime, read the little articles that I didn't bother with before.

But you don't rely on them for news anymore do you, more opinions, updates and gossip.

x x x

Evening folks.
Late eating again so hopefully some games on fb to keep me awake for a wee while until dins goes down. or as I got the crossword clue - well I think I did! may just pick up the paper! Not done a crossword for years!

Annie your advice to boleyn for birthday party made me howl!! Good luck with the ins man tom. don't forget what I said!

Top o' the morning to yooos lovely lot

Did anyone see the new Radio 2 trailer on the tellybox last night? It was on ´óÏó´«Ã½2 just before The Restaurant. In a word

FABULOUS!!!

Oooops. Got a bit excited and hit the "post" button. Anyway .... the trailer ...

Remember a couple of weeks ago and the air geeetar / scratching CLP was doing to Walk This Way .... its in the trailer! Our very own lovely lambie pie at his peak. And that's not all .... oh no .... it also features Love Muscle Russell and the divine Matt Morgan (Rusty's side-kick and writing partner), and the guv'nor, Mr Jonathan Ross.

Russell in a black cape and Rossy in a ... purple cardy!!?? I always picture Mr Ross on a Saturday morning sitting there dapper in one of his swish suits, but it would appear he does his show in a purple cardy. Oh well.

Fab trailer tho - catch it if you can!

And as for The Arsenal - boooooo :-(

Not sure what today holds, so the blog had better be lively today!!

Grohl me over!

CtD xxxxxxx

Bunoes Dias Amigo's

Missed that trailer CTD.

As for the papers

I read that Russell Brand is having tough times in America though. Seems they don't appreciate his humour .. this will get moderated but I thought describing a certain President as a retarded cowboy quite funny actually.

But ... I do get very tired of seeing pictures of scantily clad women with breasts all over the place. What happened to demure, class style..


PP

Morning all

Papers???? Like the sudokos, occasionel crosswards, but speling very bad sonot goood at them. Sunday paper horoscopes for keeping on track with life....Otherwise abs rubbish. How many of the stories are fun/ positive/good news???? Even the trash gossip is sad reflection of where we are as a society, and not much for our young uns to aspire to.. (esp the scantily clad 'girls' PP)

Apparently after the war our papers and radio news was 80% good news as nation needed spirits lifted, now it is 90% bad news/negative. How much of current economic climate could have been at least slowed down if not for scaremongering in papers and news?

Hey ho though, blog always good for a cheer up and good stories so that's why we're here.

Off for Alfie walk.

See you all later.

Morning PP and dreamur

PP - I kind of guessed it would be tough for Russell in the U S of A. His humour can be hard to get (Mr Diva doesn't get "it" at all) and the people over the pond do seem to like being spoon fed their punchlines on a plate.

I think he needs to concentrate on one thing. At the mo, he's going for global domination over there: acting, presenting, stand-up, general man about town etc. I guess they know him first and foremost as that guy in the Sarah Marshall film. I'm also guessing he may be in for a rude awakening once they really get to learn about his past (the drugs, 9/11 stunt and all that jazz).

Having said that, I was sooooo gutted when there was no podcast this week for his show: it wakes me up in the mornings and ensures i leave my house with a smile on my face. Also like to do my ironing to his "Doing Life" DVD.

Having said that, in my opinion, part of the success of his radio show is due to Matt Morgan and Noel Gallagher too.

PS: we're going to see Rich Hall next Tuesday at a small local theatre. Now - he is one hard-assed American, critical of his own!

PPS: Ref my post #38 above, and the journalistic skills of my local paper .... think Framley Examiner, if you will!! xxx

CTD Yes back to the WI, women insane.
My Mother always said not to indulge in cult's like that.

at 69 she learned to speak Welsh and play Golf. Far more healthy.

Right back to it.


Toodle OO


ps giving this FB a try again only the last person on there insisted on showing me his webcam, and was naked except for a tattoo on a Wolf on his chest... so it was exit stage left for me.

Morning everyone,

Have just checked out the trailer and it is brilliant, I wish it was longer.

Morning All late though I am -
late getting up and phones busy before I was dressed! The mind boggles but good job not video phone!!

Checked out the trailer Diva - it's brilliant - not sure about the purple cardi though!! Ol'CLP goin' for it!

Just contemplating work at mo - can't seem to get going so watching sparrows having wash in bird bath and fighting on the bird feeder - seem to be over-run with them this year but they are cute!

Bit of northern soul would be good Gingembre - give us your suggestions?
Debs - I'm the one who always has to sort the mucky bits with dog - ear drops etc - draw the line at clearing the poo though!
Right - cuppa then order from E-l-hps or maybe W@rose as they have started to deliver round here - then praps a smidge of work?

Work BM - are you mad!!???

Morning all, it's a gorgeous early autumn day here in leafy Warwickshire (well I've got a hedge outside me front window). The sun is out and I'm thinking - barbecue tonight maybe, could be the last chance?

I thought Russell Brand's comments were hilarious, wish I could have seen all those A listers squirming. brilliant. Not sure about Rich Hall Chezza, there's something about him gives me the creeps.

I had a brilliant idea for ARF at about 1.00 this morning when I got up to see who my daughter was talking to (herself, in sleep), but I've completely forgotten it! Doh.

Debs, re.clinginess, my first one hade terrible trouble settling in at playgroup owing to the fact that by that time she was more at home discussing the FTSE index than throwing sand about randomly. The worst thing is I can remember getting really stressed by it and trying to talk to her "like a grown-up" on the way home about how hard it was for me! She was 3 years old! Both more chilled now, 13 years later, thank the lord.

Supposed to be "planning and preparing" at the moment.

A x

Annie - advice very funny but NOT what I wanted to hear! I shall be asking you some more specific, sensible questions nearer the time! (Wine, for me, obviously, but for them? I thought half a blue alcopop would suffice).

Hallelujah!!!!! Last night little kitty made a HUGE deposit in my prescence! Mr egg said he thought i should get out more as i danced around the kitchen - finding a kitty deposit and finding it so satisfying was not normal!! I suppose .....

annie #36 - a workchild is a superior member of staff's pre school offspring that wants to help out! Not a bad wee soul (sit it down infront of spare workstation and log onto aunty's game site - easy!)

Why? Why? Why? WHY? why? Why? Why?

JUST BECAUSE!!!!!!!!

Dookegg, em, I don't think it is normal.

I know.... but i have had the kitty for nearly a week and a half Iwas getting worried But now she has done it i can assure and promise the blog that I'll never mention her bowel movements again!

All I've got to do now is to catch up with the outside world - urgh it doesn't look very nice does it! Blogland is a much better place to be.

I hate photocopiers. Too clever for their own good, and then you ring up for an engineer to fix the flippin' thing and get told from some oik in Manilla to fix it yourself ma'am.

Am now seething.

we are looking for a new (to us) photocopier that is dead easy to use (Big Man @ work won't even switch on the computer!) Only thing it needs to be able to do A3 or even A2 copying for plans. Any suggestions?

CtD - These foreign call centres are great especially if like me you have a strong accent as you can really confuse them and they end up putting the phone down on you! must admit sometimes the accent is hammed up for added confusion - odd dialects work too!

Quack x

Dookie - No, no, didn't realise it was so long over due, congrats, baby kitten bowels are a fine topic (hope it was nice and solid).

It's just me mother's I don't want to hear about.

A x

At my lovely job before Mr Nasty, the photocopier was much too clever. It was a copier/printer/fax machine and it broke down all the time.

In fact, my mate there could turn the photocopier on with her tummy. She find that out by pure accident.

x x x

Was it a big tummy?

x

Hmmm, quite I suppose. Luckily she thought it really funny.

And I would always try to fix it myself. The engineer that used to turn up stank!

x x x

Blimey!! I'll have to try the tummy trick! Still seething, btw xxx

HOW did you get an engineer??? I just keep getting told to fix it yourself ma'am


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The workchild thinks the photocopier is a magic machine - partly my fault as it didn't see me putting a photograph of it on the plate - it was quite shocked (workchild - not photocopier!) when their face appeared on the paper at the other end! Hee Hee.

quack x

I think through the company that provided the photocopier, if I remember correctly.

We had it under contract.

I've just seen my 17 year old cat chase next doors cat out of the garden, she was like a little rocket, go Itsy!

x x x

I remember the first time I saw a fax machine. I was amazed!! It was true magic.

Stinky men, no excuse. On one of my younger daughter's many trips to casualty the doctor's BO was so bad I felt sick for the rest of the day. The nurses kept spraying impulse in the air when he went out of the room. However, don't mean to sound sexist, as women can be stinky too.

Go on Cheryl, get your spanner out.

Hello

have been de-fuzzed, de-frizzed, and de-fingernailed. Well, not de-fingernailed but couldn't think of an F word (other than the obvious). Fingers are now tipped with brilliant glittery red, apart from the pinkies which are leopard print - naturally. Within 10 minutes I have scuffed 2 of them and have wrinkles on another. Oh well.

Still no sign of the puddytat. Blummin booger that he is.

So glad the kitten could make a deposit. Did any of my advice help?

My dad is the techno / gadget phobe in our household. My mum bought him a new computer monitor for his birfday and he thought it was a dvd player. Now he just gets socks and sweets.
I remember the first time I used a mobile phone. About 20 or so years ago, in Sainscos car park. I went and hid behind a big lorry as I felt so stoopid. It was a big massive brick type thing that gave me RSI from all the dialling and lifting.

Hmm, how times change....

MW, a!

Thanks Debbie. That helped a tad!

MW,a! - i hate scuffing nails on leaving the nail bar. most irritating. Will probably do just that on Saturday morn.

Have been asked to meet very good friend on Friday night - she needs an ear and a shoulder. And lots and lots of hugs.

It only takes a minute girl.... just one minute .... to fall in love, fall in looove

too many broken hearts in the world......

It's just a sweet little mystery that makes me try try try trrryyy - and oh just think of the magic ooooh don't think it's tragic hey hey hey!

B's,

Our location is a bit special. We live half a mile away from our nearest neighbour down a dirt track. CtD and DtH were somewhat concened as I left the normal highway and started careering down the lane when they paid a visit.
We are surrounded by fields on one side and a river on the other. He has always pretty much stayed in the garden, venturing occassionally up to the bridge on the lane but no further. We know he has been seen on the outskirts of the village recently and I worry as he has no common sense and no real experience of traffic.

Still, posters are up so here's hoping

MW, a!

Isn't it satisfying when you get to eat the things you grow. I'm anxiously awaiting 6 plums to ripen and 8 brambley's. Also I found a 4ft marrow - a courgette hid from me;( Any ideas what to do apart from chutney and stuffed marrow?

Quack x

Mariella

Don't give up hope. My mum had a cat that suddenly went missing for over 6 days I think. She turned up home but after that, every now and then she would go for a wander for a few days.

Lots of luck with getting him back.

Mum and dad live opposite a school. One day the caretaker came over and asked if she would take in a dog that he had found wandering around the playground.

Mum, being mum, said of course and off he went to fetch the dog.

When he came back he was carrying my mum's dog which had escaped and she hadn't even realised.

At least I know where I get it from hehe!

x x x

To clarify, CtD can indeed confirm:

MW,a! and Errol-TP live in the most beautiful location. If you describe it as "just off the AXX" it don't sound nice at all. But, down a lane we went, over some bumps, bit more lane ... and then Voila! Their pad. Yes, it is beautiful. And special. My only concern being .... can you still get pizzas / kebabs / indians etc delivered???

And as for post #49 .... Debbie - hot? Bothered? Red faced? You were cool as the proverbial cucumber, my dear! I still can't believe LM was "playing up" at the zoo place. My God Son has quite literally got horns coming out of this bonce!!

btw: just had a text: our friends have had their twins. one of each type - a pink onr and a blue one! aaaaaaaah xxx

Congrats to your friend Cheryl. I trust they aren't asking for any baby name ideas from you ;-)

x x x

dookegg
What to do with a 4ft marrow?!:) Well coming up to Halloween? Perhaps you could dress it up? Ideas for dressing up a marrow?! You could sell it on ebay. Donate to your local MP for use in the House Of *s . Otherwise chutney good option. Then maybe you could become member of your local WI - a regular feature on this blog!!
