What dashing outfits one and all.

Hollands pies.. well not a patch on my Shop up North. A family run business for many a year. Mum and Dad died quite young and son rock guitarist at the time took over. They are simply the best pies in the world.
Hollands are a poor subtitute. But still very tasty.

Greetings from sunny Washington DC.

Cool pictures Chris, looks like a lot of fun was had.

Thoughts go out to anyone affected by the all the current money woes.

Hey Kate, come play on the blog!

My ARF request is Karma Chameleon - Culture Club.

Can I be cheeky and have a second? Second choice is Final Countdown - Europe. I know have requested it before but I now feel like am on the final countdown. 2 weeks and 1 day more of stress then it's party time! Hurrah!

Dragonxx

Hello, hello, hello and hello!

Hurrah - I get home from the workplace, and The Blog is here, complete with colour photos!!

DtM - I was a true Durannie, y'know. The first time I saw them I didn't realise how big Wembley Arena was, took a single red rose for my first true love (that'll be John Taylor!), and even tho our seats were nearer Webley's tin roof than the hallowed stage, I still threw my rose with all my might for John to catch. Sadly, it plopped about 3 rows in front of where we were sitting and got rapidly trampled on!!

Hey ho - I was only 15 at the time!! (Seven And The Ragged Tiger tour)

Hello Kate - don't be shy. come on in. The bloggin's lovely!

AnnieG - sending good vibes to you and yours xxxx

Poussins for dinner tonight. With pasta. My favorite.

Grohl on!

CtD xxxxxx

PS: DtM - have just invested in Andy Taylor's autobiography "Wild Boy". It's gonna be good! xx

My ARF request for this week:





Copacabana - Barry Manilow




Because .... my name was Lola, I was THAT showgirl, with yellow feathers in my hair and a dress right down to there ..... !!!

;-)

Cheryl The Diva xxxxxxx

Cheryl: Hallooooooooooooooo.

Barry Manilow? Behave yourself.

And thank you for the good vibes for my girl.


xxx

..... she could merengue, and do the cha cha....

Hi Chris
What a lovely day for a game of golf, glad you were in the wining team. The weather for the weekend looks good for Goodwood Revival. Another weekend for those who live in Midhurst to walk much quicker that driving.
ARF I thought as it was the revival, a song to do with cars would be a good idea. How about Jonis Joplin Mercedes Benz or Bruce Springsteen Pink Cadillac.
Mel xx

... But while I tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar ....

Annie: Bazza is a LEGEND!! After my senior moment with the bank earlier today, I can come out of the closet and admit it!!

Thinking abaht it (which is possibly not a good thing) also went a bit gooey when the new David Essex CD was advertised last night .....

..... 40. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

xxxxx

Cheryl: Welcome to the world of the older woman (although you're really a child).

Oh, yes, I remember..... what was that again?

xxxx

My girl is only in her 30s and she can barely remember her name sometimes.

x

Lovely pics Chris, and well done on winning!

Quickly, as barbie is nearly ready, I have got the following greatest hit CDs:

Barry Manilow
David Essex
Bay City Rollers
Gilbert O'Sullivan

There's probably more. Wow CtD, you're right, it feels good to come out of the closet. I am a cheese addict. Of course, have lots of other kind too.

Laters

Oh and talking of senior moments, the whole family turned up for our dentist check up after school... two months early.

EVENING ALL

I feel the need for some Northern Soul to kick-off tomorrow night's show, my choices are -
Dobie Gray - Out on the floor
or
Al Wilson - The Snake
both brilliant, will choose on the morning and post

CoyS

KWx

Hi all

Golf and kit looks reat

ARF - Carley Simon - It should have been me

ta for now

2nd choice for ARF: Gone, Gone, Gone: Robert Plant and Alison Kraus. Listening to it on Bob Harris and its GREAT!!!

xxx

Forgot I had the CD. Senior moment Cheryl.

xxx

Evening guys

Chris, hmmm nice outfit!

I had an urge to listen to Jimi Hendrix today, so went on a search for the CD, found the case.....empty! D'oh!

So for ARF can I request Jimi Hendrix, Cross Town Traffic please.

Back later
Debbie x

PS. Failing that I'm going for Tinsel's song though!

Calm down, calm down.

Reports of my wealth are greatly exaggerated.

Alas, I didn't discover as yet untapped oil reserves in Abu Dhabi, thus ensuring billions and billions of dollars pouring my way for the next 50 years or so.

No, a couple of Arabs beat me to it.

However, it was mission accomplished.

The Palace was as grand as expected, and you know the best bit? There was no-one there.

I truly recommend Ramadan as a time to visit a Muslim country. There is the cultural experience, but the fringe benefit is that no-one else bothers. So, if you are looking for peace and quiet, sunshine by the bucket load and luxury on-tap, check out when the Holy month falls next year and book yourself a week in the Emirates.

I see all is well in the camp. I had a quick scroll through and I didn't spot too many squabbles.

But, the burning question has to be, what on earth is Bingo on?

And, can I have some please?

A quick update on 'the situation'. It was full steam ahead the night we left. Yesterday it fell apart. This morning it was all off.

But. A late development. It could all be back on after a phone call this evening.

Confused? Yep, I am.

Will keep you posted.

Love to all

MfR

PS The Devil is 6.

PPS ARF? Arnold Layne. I am totally supporting the Pink Floyd requests in memory of Rick. RIP.

PPPS God is 7.

Forgot to mention that I lost LM earlier in Tesco's earlier. Blimey it was scary.

Had staff and customers looking for him, no where to be found.

Outside the shop, calling him at the top of my voice and I could hear this little voice in the distance. He was standing next to the car, said he couldn't see me so he went and waited at the car.

So we've had a chat about what to do if it happens again. All good fun eh?

Debbie x

Matt good luck with 'the situation' keep us posted. Glad that you had a good holiday.

x x x

ooh just popped on to put in my ARF, someone else (love you!!!) has already done it but anyway -

STATE of Independence by Donna Summer Please!! for me being independent and going on my jollydays on my own next week!!!

(((((Debbie)))))) what a horrendous few minutes you must have had. I remember losing my daughter when she was really small - found her by the mens underwear eventually - but not before I'd nearly had a heart attack. Still, at least he now knows what to do next time. Quite a clever boy finding the car tho - I can never find mine!!!

PS - CLP you look dashing!!!

T xxxxxxxx

Just checked again it was B's mum - thank you my lovely!!

T xxx

Am being Bingo'd! How frustrating!

A x

Probably good for everyone else though. I had written a little play! Blog is obviously dropping hints as to it's entertainment value.

A x

To fellow pedants, I know there shouldn't have been an apostrophe in "its".

A x

lovin' those socks Christophe

Debs, we had that for about 30 secs on holiday with youngest, amazing how time stood still and went into slow motoin for that small time...scary stuff, glad he was fine and clever enough to go to the car
Matt - glad you're back safely, good luck with the situation

Tinsel, bloody awful yep you're right. I feel bad now because I didn't thank anyone looking etc I just ran to the car to him. Member of staff came out to make sure all was ok though.

Gingembre, great socks aren't they? They should have their own website. Love it CLP.

x x x

sorry for multiple posts -

just got some tickets to go see Jonathan Ross being filmed - bloomin' brilliant - can't wait.
Love the dandy look you're all sporting in the pic chris, been thinking recently about wearing a hat as my 40th approaches, not sure what type though??

KWx

I had that on the beach at Devon, just after I split up from my husband nine years ago. First time on hols with kids alone. First time driving to Devon.

Smallboleyngirl2 goes missing. I scour the whole beach, having commanded smallboleyngirl1 to stay where she was. Lifeguards. Nearly a helicopter. Then see her through binoculars skipping around a rockpool, laughing.

Phew.

Yep, scary.

A x

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!

You is back!!!

Good luck with the phone call and "the situ".

Missed ya!

How was Heroin Diairies? Is it worthy?

CtD xxxx

PS: any white bits to report?

Gingembre - go with a tweed cap, as per Will Young. Very tasty. Very classy. And it'll keep your bonce warm!

Result.

Right, off to bed shortly - Mr Diva's on the 5am alarm call tomorrow morning .... still, it's only til Christmas.

Nitey Nite

CtD xxxx

Wow Deb what a sensible LM he is! Well done you - somewhere he knew where to go and stay put even though you hadn't given instructons.

You're welcome Tinsel - went off me and doggy all on own last year and just loved it - not for long unfortunately. I was in my element! and thoroughly enjoyed - felt like I was walking on air - just wait and see!

Matt - fingers crossed - again - and welcome back!

Boleyn give the play another go without the okays and capital sevens - number of times I get bingoed doing that!! huh! keep forgetting!

Annie - ouch! everything crossed for your daughter and s-i-law with their jobs. Institutions gone mad lately.

Gingembre - where wrossie being filmed - his Fri night thing as you have tickets or something else?

PP you somehow don't come over as a pie eater? what sort? intrigued!

Beesmum xxx

snore - Diva sleeps zzzzzzz

ps Hi Mel Dragon DtM and our lovely newbie Kate.

Well my god, can't you waste some time with pc programmes. You spend an age finding how to work it and next time around you forgot what you learned last time.

B's Mum back to pies. Now then... many moons ago when I lived up North was a Bread, Pie and confectioners. I am sure these pies are the best in the world.
People queue up as they come freshly baked out of the oven. The pastry is shortcrust and light. The best are the meat and the meat and potato. You can also round it off with a vanilla slice or a Wilbury tart if you don't mind blue teeth!

So if you are ever in Marple head for Archers Bread Shop.


PP

Debbie obviously LM is starting young and hates shopping.

I remember getting lost at Jaywick Market when not much older than LM and getting such a smack from my nan when she found me. She must have been so scared. All part of childhood and growing up isn't it.

Bless him, I was pleased that he was clever enough to go to the car but not always the best option.

PP, he loves a food shop does my boy. 'Mum look at this, mum look at that' 'Mum I'll be a good boy'

But then clothes shopping, don't even go there. Nightmare.

Gingembre, flat cap maybe? Or a tribly. Experiment and post up the pics on FB, we'll have a vote ;-)

x x x

A late blog I see. Congrats Chris saw you on local tv and in the jacket Lord March lent you as well - very dashing I must say.

PP - mouth now watering and missing the pasty shop we used to visit twice a year in cornwall when we used to have hols - baked on premises and no other taste like it. Went for a quick visit last year (see comment to Tinsel above) and went back home with just me, doggy and a boot full of just from oven pasties driving us crackers with the aroma!! Rationed and only just finished the last from the freezer! Ever paid a nostalgic visit?

Deb I still think he is just a star for finding the car at that age! and staying there waiting for you!

Beesmum xxx

If we are voting on a Gingembre's hat Trilby I think would suit you my man xxx? Good idea Deb put on fb and we'll vote!

Phee - as Bingo would say - been quiet lately?

Talking of Bingo - what do you think about the latest Ukraine/Russia/fleet in Ukraine port thing - anywhere near to affect you and Inna?

BM xxx

btw Annie did you say son in law RBS? That should be alright - not as bad as BOScotland.

BM xxx

Welcome home Matt hope the deal comes back on the table for you.

Annie good luck thoughts for your daughter and son in law on their jobs.

Gingembre I agree you should go for the classy flat cap if you need to wear one. Believe me the hoodie or the woolly hat are not cool!

I have a note for my absence I was playing volleyball for the first time in 12 years last night and out tonight just getting in approx an hour ago - made a sarnie of ham and victorian chutney which is really nice.

Hmm isn't it Hollands who are advertising for pie tasters?

Phoenix - forgot the volleyball - thought at the time you must be bonkers! How did it go after all this time - did they bring on the oxygen? (bet you won!)

BM xx

Hel - How many glasses?

BM xx

It was the first practice session of the season and I didn't do too bad in the end - taped up my fingers and wore knee pads and all I seem to have are extremely tight hamstrings so going up and down stairs is a bit hard going.

Thanks for the thought though.

My record for ARF please:


Blaze of Glory by Jon Bon Jovi

Sorry I keep asking for this one but it is extremely good.


Failing that Your the Voice by John Farnham

Congrats to all the returning paralympians you are all a credit to your families and deserve a big welcome home.

B's Mum - I go up North about once a year and if I can, make a special visit to Archers. But usually too many people too see and too little time.

I know what you mean about the aroma of freshly cooked cornish pasties bet they drove you mad and the dogs.


PP

PP one doggy - and yes - must admit - confession time - must admit - stopped at Exeter and scoffed one!

Beesmum xxx

Just loving question time - Hislop - v ?? great to watch!

Sorry B's mum uno dogo.

Although I always think of you as having two.

Maybe I just read your future it's a side line of mine.

PP

PP that's spooky - himself wants another - I'm saying no way! aaaargh he had better not win!

BM xx

Ah Anne if you're worrying about your family and jobs I totally understand. I've had friends/family phoning me asking if we are worried, given Mr Debbie works in Docklands for an American Investment Bank. It makes me more worried, when they ask!

Phoenix, good for you I used to love volleyball.

I'm watching Qtime too, Hislop is good. It's in Bournemouth PP.

x x x

Finally before I go to bed. Back to Banking I really don't think anyones job is safe.
What the media seem to overlook is that we are in recession.

My daughter works in Hedge Funding and now they are getting the blame.. it's all swings and roundabouts but the recession has been creeping up for along time.


PP

Yes just down the road at the BIC might wait till Oasis are on.

PP

Night PP hedge fund? my lips are sealed! well they are about to explode but I wont.

Deb it's good isn't it -Q time just love Hislop speak first - but most of time says as is - refreshing! Love his faus paaaaas!

BM xxx

faus? getting cited! faux

Following on from my recipe of earlier, here's another TTT top tip.

When making goulash for a family dinner, do NOT confuse the parkrika and cayenne pepper jars.

Lost the 15 yo in a French market about 10 years ago. Found him with a very nice English couple about 10 minutes later, although it seemed a lot longer.

The subject came up recently, apparently I had failed to mention the episode to Mrs T, who was not with us.

15 yo suddenly realises he was severely traumatised by the whole thing and only a new pair of trainers would heal the hurt and mean he would not need a lifetime of therapy.

The thing is I do still feel guilty about it. Perhaps we all need to go through that kind of thing just once.

Will stop now

TTT

B's Mum it's only a small percentage in her company that earn extremely high salaries and if they make a wrong decision on a deal they are out .

Just over a year ago I had a conversation with an MD of a large estate agents. I asked if he thought the recession and also the downturn in America would have an impact. His reply was "no won't effect us". Now they are in dire straits.. You see the Government has refused to admit the word recession for too long.
Without customers to lend to the Banks can't make any money.

That's the crux of the matter really.

PP

Best stick to Baked beans TTT

Off now to watch new series of This Week just love those two on the couch/settee whatever! Dianne a scream and Porty!

Just popped back to read - TTT that is So funny but So true! kids blackmail in so many ways- pulling strings left right and centre - now trying to remember what I did on that aspect and can't recall! will think and sleep on it! but I was such a horror I must have done something!

Beesmum xxx

Yes, I think I should.

I tried to bluff my way out of it by, firstly denying that any error had been made ( a man's reaction) and then suggesting that the addition of 4 tablespoons of cayenne pepper really added a bit of 'je ne sais quoi' to a somewhat bland dish.

So I gamely worked my through what was possible the worse meal I have eaten in years while berating the family for their lack of adventure.

The spare room beckons.

TTT

AAAh PP don't know if you remember (prob. far too young) but when I thought about buying a property it was with a bldg soc who needed me to save with them for a fair while - build up a smidge of savings and then they would lend one and a half times my salary because that was manageable for future payments - all depending on the size of deposit "fair while" savings could provide as a deposit!

Beesmum xx

TTT oh dear sounds like you could have a firery night in more ways than one.

B's Mum I agree but did someone not spot the recession over a year ago ... I blame Brown.


PP

ARF - Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer. Just came on my iTunes and I'm about ready to crank it up loud and proud :)

Good day. ARF - Radio GaGa by Queen because a) loads of people like Queeeeeeen!! and b) everyone loves the CLP show and it's on the RADIO and c) we're all a bit GAGA.

Off up to Sunderland for the weekend to announce news of next year's nuptials to Mam and brother. Tissues at hand because my lovely Dad died earlier this year and we're getting married on his birthday so we can raise a special glass to him.

Good weekend to one and all.

Money by Pink Floyd.

Its all that anyone is talking about at the moment and also as a tribute to Richard Wright.

TTT

Yayyyyyyy!! It's Friday ...

Hurrah for the flat cap, Gingembre! You will look splendiferous, I am sure.

Himself was an angel this morn and let me have a lie in. Yep - he got up at 5, did his own pack-up and crept around like a little mouse whilst I slept in til half six. Bliss!!

Fair bit to do today but will keep dipping in and out between stuff just to keep me sane. Rest assured, my work will not suffer.

Pasties / Pies: had a really dodgy cornish pasty at school when I was about 12 and have never braved one since. Although I suspect it was the school "catering" that was more at fault than the pastie. But I do have a weakness for cheese and onion pasties, hot from the bakery. Hmmmmmm

Back later gang!

Debbie x

Quick hello all

boleyngirl - your last entry made me cry, that's so lovely. Your mum will def need big box of tissues....Have fab weekend, and think it was you mentioning the surname thing. Just think lots of years ago we had the surname of our lord!!! Shortly followed by a period of our family trade.....so what's in a name. Keep/take the name you like....I have kept my ex's name as hated my maiden name and have daughter...but abs can't stand him!!!! But thought hey it's only a name....hey ho!! And one day we will prob get to keep our own names and life will be less problematic(maybe)

Debs, felt my tummy go when I read your lost story....we;ve all had similar and it is the most awful feeling. So well done LM and you...

Annie - good luck to your girl and s-i-l. Lots of it around unfortunately, we may be looking at a lost biz in this household. Time will tell (prob fairly quickly).

Right onto cheerier stuff.....ARF

a little spirit lifter for the week gone by

Des'ree - life

Morning all.

Excellent news MWa!!

Boleyngirl, that's so lovely - have a fab weekend.

Very excited about my own jollydays now :-))


T xxx

Oh boleyngirl so sorry, forgot to say have a lovely weekend too. Your wedding day is going to be a very special one isn't it.

Thirteen years today that Mr Debbie's dad died so we are paying a visit with some flowers later.

Dreamer, I told LM off at first when I found him, still feel guilty about that now.

Cheese and onion pasties are fab Cheryl, especially with a bit of salad cream.

x x x

Debbie - it's so so natural to be cross - it's the fear and relief all rolled into one. I bet every single parent has done it!!

T xxx

Mornin' all. Just a quickie...

First of all, thankyou for the vibes, my lovely friend is thus far doing well but his recovery will take some time.

Secondly, well done Debs! Keep it up girl, your self-worth stock has just soared on the morale market.

Thirdly, nearly did Woman's Minute yesterday as I woke up in me hotel bed in Dublin, had a senior moment and forgot where I was, got me foot caught in the sheet abnd fell outa bed. Turned out to be the right side as I was laughin' at meself all day.

And fourthly, Cheryl/Lola. ARF. Go for it, Copacabana..ah go on lets. Go on go on you will you will, CLP, indulge the lovely CtD with the Yellow Feathers In Her Hair and The Dress Cut Down To There...Hurrah!!

Well, I'm wearin' MINE, babe...half a parrot on me head and me puddin's boilin' right over, and the gait of a woman avoidin' pools of sick on HMS Zanussi. Lock up your husbands everyone.

Well, the Yorkshire Terrier anyway.

Clodagh.xx

PS. Fifthly. Nice socks, Christoff. I'm wearin' mine with the pencil skirt and the Dick Emery heels, mind.

And the puddin's of course.

xx

Debbie.

I'm referring to the job. Not tellin' the LM off. Mind you, he's a fella and therefore should be told off on a regular basis. Marvellous.

Ta-ta for now from an overcast Belfast. See yous all soon.

Clodagh.xx

Aww Clodagh - I was feeling a tad down in the dumps and fragile today but just reading your post above has put a big smile on me fizzog!

Yoos truly is bonkers, but that's why we luv ya!!

Cheryl xx

Cheryl remember, chocolate, carbs and wine :-)

Ta Tinsel, his little face......bless him!

Clodagh, he certainly gets told off on a regular basis, all three of them do.

x x x

Morning All.

Have a good trip Clodagh - see you soon.

Been a bit mad here today and was late to bed watching the box so on auto pilot still. Could have done with your lie in Diva!

Gingembre if you let CLP know when you are seeing wrossie in October, he could perhaps give you your tfi whatever?

Boleyn thats lovely - hope you have a good week-end.
Mwa thank goodness puddy tat back just in time before you go on hols must have known!
Hi ho Hi ho its off to work I go. Later.

Beesmum xxx

Hiya - there's always so much I want to comment on!

First, Mr Evans: well done on the golfing thingy! I have to say, I have played golf several times - it is sheer torture, in my opinion! Can't tell you how many times I have tried to hit the ball, looked down and the damn thing is still sitting there!

ARF - well of course it must be Copacabana ........ not unless it's Dobie Gray! Gingembre, we have the most fantastic CD of Dobie Gray (Drift Away) - it is brilliant.

Cheryl: do I seem to recall saying to you in the past that your husband is the double of (a very young) David Essex?! I seem to remember checking your blog and Mr Diva has really long hair and is quite gorgeous - am I right?!

Debbie: utter nightmare for you losing LM. And OF COURSE you told him off - it was sheer relief - our first instinct is to think "Thank god you are alright. Now, I'm going to shout at you"!!!

Annie: hope everything will be alright for your daughter. It is completely beyond belief that the BOS could be in such a precarious state.

Last but not least: Mariella, how lovely your wee cat made it home!

C xx

Soooo bored!!!

Sorry just felt like having a moan hehe.

Sitting here looking through so many jobs on the net and can't find anything to apply for today.

Now on days like today, nothing special planned, me fretting about rubbish, I tend to take myself and LM on the train to meet his dad from work. Is that sad? Think I'll have to do it again today.

x x x

Debbie, not sad at all! It's a lovely day (well it is here anyway), I bet LM loves going on train and I bet daddy is chuffed to see the pair of you! And getting out and about does stop the fretting!

T xx

LOL NewChrissie - yep, you did pass comment that Himself was lovely. I know I'm biased, but I have to agree with you!!

heheehe. it's his blue eyes and long hair. and very sexy smile. Guess I'm a lucky old Hector really!

More pics on FB if you're over there ....

Copacabana - oh yes!!!

Deb - I wanna go on the train wit choooo!

Hi tinsel xx

CtD xxxxx

It's lovely and sunny here too Tinsel.

With LM at school, I'm here on my own, family, friends all work etc......I'm lonely (cue violins).

Feel pretty crap today but so determind to sit here and look for a job and do something positive, rather than mope around.

Train trip later it is then :-)

x x x

Debbie - refer to your post #87 above .. chocolate, carbs, wine .....

Sunshine.

Trains.

xxxxxx

Ah Cheryl Mr Diva has a lovely, smiley face.

Now if you want to come on the train with me and LM the rules are as follows:

1. You have to kneel on the seat, face the window and shout every time you see a cow.

2. You cannot go through Stratford without getting a bar of minty aero at the shop at the bottom of the stairs.

3. You MUST sit at the front of the DLR and do not let go of that bar or the train won't work.

x x x

LOL!!! Love those rules Deb - but not sure about kneeling on the seat: the man who checks the tickets might tell me off!

Stratford - that great building site in East London?? It'll never be ready in time ....

Always try to sit at the front on DLR trains so I can pretend I'm driving!!

Once a child, always a child .........

Not sure whether to tell Himself about all these compliments he's getting: may have to widen the door frames!!!

xxx

The world's gone completely...... MAD..... this might the end all!!!!!!

Stockmarket down 10%, up 10%, down 10%, bank buying banks, selling banks, bank shares down 50% next day up 50%, next day down 50%.... next day up 50%.... goverments buying banks that ave no money...... know if this is noot Nostradamus correct again... well 'e' is correct isn't 'e!!!!!

But don't worry all..... Queen + Paul Rogers are still giging the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@!!!!!

Poka!!!!

PS Tryed ter blog before but it failed ter show.... another element of.... The Mad world!!!!!

Oh well at least 97 showed!!!!!!

Righyho.

tickets - check

passports - check

Money - check

Do we need anything else? Not really but have packed aplenty anyway.

I'm gonna be all pretty on holibob, and Errol will be vest tops and shorts - going commando mostly!

Sorry, was that too much information?

CtD - text me if you get a hattrick, or if I go for my four bagger, and if Liverpool win says this voice over my shoulder...

Love all over the place,
