CLP

LONDON CALLING - THE CLASH



for all the BLoggers meeting up at Canary Wharf on Saturday afternoon.

Pleeeeeeez

Thank you.

Cheryl the Diva xxxxx

ARF - i don't feel like dancing scissor sisters - because its the weekend (tomorrow) and it always makes me happy!

I am a foot tapper - love music and you need to feel it to enjoy it

super bp x

ps - other ARF - foot-tapper by the shadows - all together - do do do do do do do do [i'm bobbing along already]

ARF

The Shangri-Las - Leader of the pack.

TTT

Here's the thing... CLP, if you like to bug someone’s home for no apparent reason, then leave them to get on with their life without a yay or nay. No current status as to the bugging, no apology, no righting a wrong. Just wanting to ruin someone’s life. Why?


A Viewer

How about Calling America for all the expats living out in the colonies..... (my pet name for the US).

ARF - ABBA - Does your mother know?

I've had TOTP2 on and I've been tapping my foot for a while now... I think the person below me downstairs might get the wrong idea...

Greetings Ter CLP And Every Blog Operatative,

Bingo Star ere.....

CLP - Don't know why yuv blocked out the word 'kiss' not too rude a word!!!@??!

As for tap dancing..... I don't anymore after falling inter the sink!!!!!!

Chow!

PS For ARF - Any chance of playing 'ammer Ter Fall taken from the brilliant Queen And Paul Rogers live gig album 'Return Of The Champions'. Absolutely brilliant version... goes from gentle minor guitar inter explosive power chords by The May... BRILL!!!!

PPS Tis ablum is the best Queen album ave ever bought - and ave got all their albums.... if yer like Queen check out the album.... or miss out!!!!

Chow again!!!!

Chris,

I not only tap my feet at gigs, I dance the same dance I have been doing since I was 14! Probably looks really awful, but I'm happy!

A Viewer/Martin: ye gods, this is really boring.

C xx

Katie Melua - Nine Million Bicycles



mj x

Have I missed something? Or is bugging a play on tapping?

Confoooooosed.

Help!!!

hello martin! you ok?

Dear CLP,

I know this won't get picked but it serves all purposes this week.

When you interview women on women's minute and for all the bloggers going to London.


Getting to Know you - from The King and I

Cheers

Phoenix in Dorset

Your right, it is boring, boring for me... that`s why enough is enough!


A Viewer

CtD

Don't get you started!!........ I have a m8 who actually does that for a living...... her back room is full of all that kinky stuff......

I have NEVER seen anything like it........ and I have seen A LOT!!

It is seriously cool....... and trust me...... she makes a fortune

I am so doing the wrong job

How can you go to a gig and just sit/stand there??........
Non foot tappers are souless individuals who should not have the priviledge of going to witness the aw that is live music.......

Just my opinion

Bear

xx

Bear

I read a book about a Domi once and it was sooooooo funny! Like you say, they earn a fortune. I think a sense of humour is a must tho!

also some of the museums in Amsterdam explore "that" side of the industry - unbelievable, some of it.

But fascinating!

CtD xx

It's fantastic........ and at £500 for an hour of punishing the male species.......

Bring on the leather whips!........

Gonna change my name to Lil_Miss_Dom

xx

LOL!!! Bear - forgive me for a sking but are you on FB? I've lost track of FB bloggers.....

If you are, will find the details of that book and send them to you. She was an ex journalist who wanted a new career!!

Bear - try this ISBN 10 number: 0755310144

x x

I'm on FB yeah........ can't get on it at work tho - tis restricted you see. I'll look you all up tomorrow night!

Well it's nearly home time...... still gutted I can't make Saturday, would have been a right larf!!

xx

Really not wanting to sound thick ....... what do I do with it??

xx

I`m well, Cheryl the Diva, thanks for asking. Off to Wemberley on Saterday to watch England v Kazakhstan. 1st trip to new Wemberley. Beautiful day 2 day, just hope we keep this high pressure and the weather will be good. My latest addiction is off the shelve supermarket prawn cocktail. The chef Heston Blumenthal said on radio he also had a likeing to them.

mj x

My choice for ARF this week is Barbara Stresand- Don't rain on my parade.


and can anyone tell me what Aviewer is talking about ? Or is it a Quizz.


PP

AViewer has escaped........ I'll let you guess where from!!

I have no clue as to his/her ramblings........

AViewer....... would you care to explain??

Confused Bear

xx

Kiddo, whats this "red light.." nonsense anyway. . .

thank you all female partakers who feel for the plight of the single boy . . . sorry I cant make it to the Wharf of Saturday - land & sea are preventing . .

I'm thinking however of coming over before Christmas to have a wee look at a nice wee pub in Haselemere (begins with M, like the bush, MfR knows it and i can get my two free pints of the black stuff he owes me . . !! -). Will keep you posted, y'all . .

Anyway, back to business:

ARF: LONELY BOY - ANDREW GOLD

Love you all . .

Stay safe

time for a cheeky little sip tonight . .

DtM x

Was it like one of those candid camera programmes that A Viewer got caught up in and was the butt of the joke.

Never did like them.

Martin - gingembre's off to wemberleeee too - you could wave at each other!

my latest addiction is wispa bars. cadburys - why did you have to bring them back???

PP - i don't know either. glad you asked too, i was beginning to feel a bit fick, like!

bear - i think if you put that ISBN number into goog or something similar, it should bring the book up. you should have something to do with the name Chloe.

CtD xxx

Got it....... I will have to ask my mum to get me a copy for xmas!

xx

1st time blogger here and its all Ken Bruces fault.

My suggestion for chessey 1st song..

The Dooleys - Wanted or Chosen Few

They cropped up on Pop Master and happy 70s and 80s memories came flooding back.

Loads to foot tap to there !!

Thanks

Yes Phoenix and L Bear perhaps he or she could give us some cleudo.

PP

MoreTea,

Give the lads a shout from me. We'll be cheering them on from here in the US. We have the game live on TV. Would be interested to get your opinion on the new wemberly. I went to the old one many times, haven't been to the new one yet.

Engerland, Engerland, Engerland!!!!!!

My first post... :)

With a title like this there is only one tune..

Foot Tapper - The Shadows

A bit predictable, but still a great tune..

D

Folks, all may be revealed one day and you will then understand, but from now on I will keep off the blog as this is a fruitless task.



A Viewer

mj x

Look, if I've got this wrong, then I apologise profusely.

Martin/MoreTeaVicar/A Viewer: you are one and the same. You even used the exact same words in your first post today that you used yesterday.

If you want to talk - this blog is full of great people who would be happy to help. CtD offered yesterday that you contact her on FB.

Chris answered you once on this blog and he won't do it again.

Please try to put whatever this is behind you - I don't know you, but I know this is hell for you.

C xx

Bye for now!!

Talk to you all again tomorrow!!

Hope it will be an interesting read!

Cheryl the Diva, I`m always spilling soup, gravey, ice cream down my front. I`m thinking of getting a bib and asking if they can sew sleeves and a back to it!!

Chow!

ARF REQUEST


Andy Williams (I think)

Watching the girls go by....


Thank you,
Jx

tum, tumty-tum, tumpty tum tum tum....

Now don`t get me wrong - I`m a BIG, BIG fan of CLP, from the BB times to date. Perhaps I`m just a bit mad with madness all around me. And the best of my life has past me by and in every way the future looks pretty grim. I know that will also be true for many people, so I`m not complaining. And life is what you make it and all that.

Hey, I`m easy about things. There is an answer but I don`t know what it is. So lets all sing:

ARF: Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life


A Viewer x


PS Gingee I love you really

How about for ARF either of the best footie songs ever

Footballs coming home! - Either version

or

Vindaloo - Fat Les

DD out

Excellent idea DD.

Evening each

Debbie: Good luck
Bsmum: You feeling better?
Tomgriff: I'll go with you - Abba. Reminds me of when the 3rd child needed the birds and bees chat. I was so fed up with it by that time, I bought him an excellent book and couldn't resist the bookmark which said 'Does your Mother know you're reading this'. He was seriously not amused.

Anne xxx

PS: Got Hotel Chocolat Christmas catalogue today. Pink champagne truffles!!!!!!!

xxxx

Self confessed foot tapper.

ARF: Us and Them - Pink Floyd, now that's a tune.

Okay all I just wanted ter raise these serious points about the credit crunch.....

Sadly there's alotta people going through alot of 'ardship because of the situation at present. Am mean some people are 'aving their lives ruined.... just as an example....
Say someone working in a bank as cashier. For many years, they might ave put 50 quid a month out of their wages inter the company share scheme.
They might ave seen it add upto 10 grand in the 'and last year and been very 'appy... thinking they might buy a new car or ave a nice 'olidee. Only now ter see the share price of most of the 'igh street banks go down 90 per cent, including their bank.
So their 1o grand is now only worth 1 grand!!!!
And this an example of one of the lucky ones.. some banks ave been nationalised aka shares schemes gazump!
Some people ave lost everything!
This is just one small example of the terrible 'ardship some are going through now!!!

I think we're 'eading for a severe recession with people losing their 'omes etc.
In some ways a bust period is a good thing as it cleanses the economy/ stop the economy getting ahead of itself.
It will make 'ouses more affordable for ordinary people with incomes and for our childrens future. But I feel very bad for innocent people who lose their jobs etc!
Ok some people may ave been stupid and stretched themselves buying too big a 'ouse just to "keep up with the Jonses".
Sadly the economy this time 'as been allowed ter get crazily ahead of itself all propped up on debt and false fundimentals!

So 'ow will this credit mess/ reccession sort itself out...... I don't know if it will!

The banks are the fuel stations of the economy.... if they've goot no fuel.... the engines noot gonna run - know what am sayin', know what am sayin'!!!!
If this mess gets so serious all the banks do collapse or what 'appens when the goverments run out of money or both?
In fact the British goverment is now by the looks of it way over stretching our economy too much!
Borrowing like crazy and too 'astily!
Something I wonder, can they just print more money?.... Maybe this is the only way to solve this perhaps worst financial mess the world 'as ever seen.
Or will it all blow over in a few years and just be in another bit of 'istory?
I think maybe not. I don't want to be a doom monger or over dramatise. I'm just looking at this situation... well as I see it right in front of me now!

All that's 'appening now fits in with The Bible and Nostradamus and indeed The Mayan Calender ending in December 2012.

Maybe this is going to be the start of world peace, the world as one.
If the whole world runs out of money, then maybe all goverments/ nations will be forced ter join together.
A kind of World order that all goverments sign... maybe to create one world currency/ economy and all finance starts again.
I know this sounds crazy... but what if all goverments really do totally run out of money... they would be forced to get together and totally start again, something unimaginable but the unimaginable is 'appening now.
This could be excellent for world peace as we all would be as one... all sort of tying in with The Bible/ Nostradamus etc.
A mean it would take something giant like what is 'appening now to make goverments stop wars and get together.
A mean look at 'ow the G8 didn't write of the world debt of Africa that the Live 8 concerts were about a few years ago. (only something like 50 billion dollors).
But my goodness.. they've certainly managed ter find way more than that at short notice ter prop up the banks.... it's food for thought what am sayin' ere.... know what am tryin' ter say!!!!!!

Yer know when they forcast the end of the world/ the return of Christ. It's never like in the movies or 'ow you expect.
It's not a asteriod slamming inter Lanzarote.... or a man with a beard and a Justin 'awkins 'aircut surrounded by a blinding light... na, it could just be the TSB or the RBS going bust along with the chancellor aving a nervious break down!!!!

A long and thoughtful blog commentation all... but whatta write could come true.... a mean a year ago nobody could ave imagined what's 'appening now.
Mind you I did but noot quiet as bad as it is now!

Das veedanya blog friends!!!!!!

Bingo: Please don't talk about RBS going bust. Son-in-law works for them. Once child losing job is quite enough, thank you.

xxxx

Sorry, that should have been one, not once

Great so I don't even need to request red light spells danger - billy ocean again then!! This must be the 7th or 8th time lucky thanks CLP

xxxx

BrightAnnie,

Sorry to hear about your son. Was he given any sort of severance?

007: Thank you. Probably not much, if anything. He's only been there a couple of years.

Just watching C4 news and Darfour. I think I should be counting my blessings that my 3 children have warm homes and lots of love.

xxxxx

BrightAnnie, having been there myself all you have do is keep his confidence up (which I am sure you're doing anyway) and hopefully he can find a new job soon. Is he going to stay in banking or going to try something else?

ARF - Sanford Townsend Band - Smoke from a distant fire (for old time's sake)

Blimey.

They're all here today.

Done the gym. Poached eggs, a quick bath and then bed, cos I'm up at stupid 'o' clock for my trip to C**ch***er to see the big cheese.



ARF? Under My Wheels by Alice Cooper.

I'm afraid I have been guilty of buying stuff on t'internet when squiffy. Mostly tickets for shows that I then find out I can't make.

I was going to suggest a really highbrow topic to discuss, like sociopolitical unrest in 1920s Peru or something, as I appear to have upset someone yesterday, but I can't be bothered, so my favourite film will have to do.

Heat. De Niro. Pacino. Awesome.

Have a fab night. Wish me luck.

Peace

MfR

PS Steve Rogers

PPS Namor McKenzie

PPPS Norrin Radd

Good luck MfR

Heard the dooley ref on Ken Bruce too, ah such memories, still got that toon going round my head!

Bingo - much too much to read but think with you, apart from very poor people in other parts of world where their children are sold or work more than half of the day for less than we can imagine. So perhaps this is the universe coming right back at us saying calm down and appreciate what you do have....

Going to see Tings in Feb as missed tickets for this time around....foot tapping free with the tickets.

ARF - Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton, unless you want to play last weeks offer? Reminder - I am what I am.....

Matt: My vice on a Friday night, with wine, is Amazon. Have been known to buy lots and lots of books. Click, bugger!

007: Oldest son, although rather down just now, is very resourceful. He's a rather good photographer with his own website and has a degree in Archeaology. He'll turn his hand to anything so will be all right.

Isn't very good for him and his wife at the moment as they would love a family and are contemplating the IVF route. His sister and brother both have children. They don't need this just now. However, they'll be ok and we're off up the A9 next week for a family holiday near Grantown on Spey, which will be lovely. We can't wait.

xxxxx

good luck mfr

and if don't get time tomorrow have fun on sat bloggers, look forward to hearing all the goss!

Catch you all laters, off to have some thristy thurs refreshments.

Annie - have good time and enjoy being together, they obv have a fab mum to want to spend time with you like that.

Hi Chris and Team,

AFR: AC/DC - If You Want Blood (You've Got It)

just coz.

sez.xx

brightAnnie, these things never come at a good time. The support and encouragement you are giving him will help I have no doubt. May be if photography is his thing, may be this is the opportunity to do that for a living. It doesn't have to be all weddings and parties, lots of companies need freelance photographers to take professional pictures of products etc.

Thank you 007, just what I've been saying too. His younger brother is doing just that so between them, they could take over the photography world! Obstacles are just opportunities, aren't they?

Love, Anne xxxx

Sorry Dreamer, forgot to say thank you to you too. Hope you are keeping well.

Evening all

CLP I was listening to another radio show last night (was after 7pm!) and I heard the Tings Tings do an acoustic version of 'Shut Up and Let Me Go'. It was bloody good. I liked them anyway but like them even more after hearing them interviewed.

Anne, hope your son is ok. Mr Debbie found out about redundancies at work today (he works for an investment bank) and is still not home yet, so much going on. Not good times.

Good news though, I have another interview in a few weeks. I won't keep going on about it though and all of the good luck that I have been sent over the last few weeks will keep me going for a while.

Matt good luck for tomorrow. Let us know how things go.

I haven't been able to catch up properly so hope that everyone is ok.

Love
Debbie x x x

PS. Tinsel hope that you can make it on Saturday x

brightAnnie, I agree but sometimes they are so hard to see especially when you are in the thick of it... I wish him all the luck.

Debbie: Fingers crossed for Mr. Debbie.

I've not been able to catch up either, feel a bit left out.

Anne xxxx

Sorry, sound like a bit of a moaning minnie but don't mean to.

Hi Chris...I'm new to all this blogging lark but I wanted to start all request friday because I'm 40 today!! (well if you're reading this on thursday then I'm 40 tomorrow!!)
I'm having a school disco to celebrate on saturday which seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm beginning to panic that everyone'll bottle out...tell them not to, it'll be fun...honest!!
Anyway Chris, my song...I'd choose Katrina and the Waves Walking on Sunshine...cos I love it, it's very feel good and the sun has finally been shining. Me and my middle daughter Hattie often dance around the kitchen during drive time and this song would be a top one for us to dance to (hello to little daughter Boo and big daughter Lucy too, oh and husband Andy who is bravely coming out of retirement to do my disco, well I didn't want some young whippersnapper doing a school disco did I?? I love them all)
Thanks Chris, sorry about typing started the celebrations a bit early with a bottle of Rioja
Lots of love
Claire in Crowborough

007: I just love this blog. You're all lovely people.

xxxxx

Makes the day go better..... For me anyway.....

And me 007. Can't post much from work but I do lurk during the day and enjoy all your comments.

xx

Hello there folks, can I come out to play too?

AF xx

Hi AF,

Hope you've had a good day...

Hi there 007. Rubbish day to be honest, but I'm home, safe and warm, getting big cuddles from the cat and I've got friends and family who love me. So it's all good.

What's today had in store for the world's greatest spy then?

AF xx

I'm here too - for a little while at least.

Annie - soz about your boy, and Deb- fingers crossed that all's alright for M.

MfR - if you nip back - good luck in C'chester t'morra chuck. Give us a wave as you pass thru, and we can clink glasses on Saturday.

Hey - we can celebrate new jobs on Saturday for Errol and Matt. Coolio!

Hello ThePresentMrsC - happy 40th for the morning. I was 40 in August and have had a ball every day since!

Evening Flower. Glad you're feeling a tad better than this time last week.

The Restaurant was good tonight. Although Raymond Blanc seems to be pulling more and more "Mr Bean" faces as the series progresses ....

Ooh, I've just thought of an ARF. Can I throw a bit of a spanner into the works and ask for Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed by Matt Bianco. Always used to get my toes tapping!!

Am I the only one who, after reading CLP's post, thought that maybe the Ting Tings ought to have written a few more tunes before doing a tour... Can't make up my mind about them, it all seems a bit... well, gimmicky. Or they could be the best thing since sliced bread. I mean, I'm no expert here!

AF x

ps hi CtD :-)

Ooohhhh, hallo each. Nice to have friends on here.

Sorry, can't comment on the Tings Tings. Am still stuck in the timewarp of Dylan, Stones, Police, Queen, et al.

xxxxx

Or another ARF - E=MC2 by Big Audio Dynamite. That was fantastic too.

Ok, done now!

AF xx

I can't think of anything for ARF. Like 'London Calling' though.

Just watched 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' and it was really funny tonight. Stephen Fry is a legend is he not?

x x x

Hi Debbie, yes the man is a marvel. Love watching QI and his humorous despair at Alan Davies hehe.

Congrats on the interview BTW!

AF x

get you lot! i've been over on FB sorting out your demands (annieG) and you've all been gadding on here!

Off to bed very shortly - it's 5 am alarm day tomorrow - booooooo. and we're out tomorrow nite - how tired????

have fun - don't stay up too long: it is, after all, a school night girls!

Sweet dreams

Cheryl xxxx

(nb: that's cheryl said with a SH not a CH ...) x x x

Hi AF, sorry your day wasn't a good one. At least you're home.

For me, it's the same old same old. Although the weather is decent. Blue skies, sunshine about 60 degrees. Almost ready to start my commute home.

Hola Cristobal!

ARF

First time posting, and hopefully it's a cracking suggestion...

Here's a suggestion for starting off this week's ARF.

Torture - The Jacksons

It's pure cheese, alarmingly disco, but so very Friday night!!!

Thanks AF, feels good to be shortlisted again. It's a lovely restuarant too and I bet being a PA to a restuarant owner is a pretty cool job.

I am stupid tired right now but so wanted to stay up and watch Question Time. I'll do a LM and fight it for as long as I can.

Nite Cheryl.

x x x

CtD, 5AM!!!!!!! That's still the middle of the night..... for me anyway....LOL

60 degrees????? Bums.

Off to bed soon myself. Half day tomorrow so I can get my gorgeous little boys from school at 3. Picking up man in cupboard later on for a weekend in the garden - he's tidying up the leylandi, weather permitting.

Night, night.

xxxx

007 that is so strange to read about you about to make your way home from work.

I talk to a friend living in Melbourne on FB and I think it's so funny that when I'm logging off and ready for bed she is laying in bed, chatting on her laptop and about to have breakfast.

So have a good evening!

x x x

Haha 007, I've just got 3 Jeffery Deaver books for £5.70 too, so it just gets better! Safe trip home.

I'm for hitting the hay too, this cold has me very tired. But coming out the other side now, and hopefully tomorrow will be a good day! Wearing my optimistic pyjamas now :-)

Night all xxx

Nite AF, hope that you have a good day tomorrow and feel better for the weekend hun.
