EARLY TO BED AND...

Chris Evans | 09:47 UK time, Tuesday, 28 October 2008

...well me, once I'm awake, that's it - I'm up.

In fact if I try to stay in bed, I actually feel worse than if I get up and at it.

This morning I was down in the kitchen by six, looking at the beautifully fresh and frosted lawn in the most perfect of light. The autumn leaves on fire.

At my desk by six fifteen and then more research about a car I'm interested in. There's a big auction in London tomorrow and I don't want to get caught out.

I'm at my desk already because I have a meeting with the lawyers this morning and you never know what the traffic's going to be like. You always have to set off early just in case, and then nine times out of ten you end up with half a day to spare. That's today, not that I mind it's absolutely gorgeous out there.

Have a good one and I'll see you on the radio at the other end of it all.

    Morning Chief!

    I know exactly what you mean ... in bed by half nine last night, up around six and at desk by 8.20 (via Asda for some pastries) even tho I don't start "officially" til half nine!

    Happy researching. Me? I'm STILL filing!! That'll teach me to have furry tonsils.

    Laters.

    Ditto, ditto, ditto CtD and Mr CLP - only I missed out Asda and the pasties as I had time for a fry-up at home. Feet are jolly chilly now though so time for the hot air blower on.

    I'm even toying with the idea of continuing to go to bed at the old time of 10.30 but now it's 9.30 and get up at 6.30, the old 7.30 and ... ok too confusing, you know what i mean,

    Hiya Chris,

    Good to see you so early! Don't want to be demanding or anything, but I always did prefer when you used to Blog early in the day!!

    Well, of course it's freezing here too and I just cannot face the winter. I absolutely hate it. I am guaranteed to fall at least twice and will now have to live in my wellies - not a good look walking around the streets of Glasgow - fashion capital of the UK, after London!

    Hey Ho! Have a good day everyone.

    You alright Jen?

    Love the idea of a full English brekkie. Hmmm .... Sunday morning methinks. Cheers for that!

    I usually indulge in toast and homemade jam, but Mr Diva kinda cleared the breadbin out this morning with his work sarnies (see what happens when they do their own packed lunches ... ?!) so it was a Danish from asda. Very nice too for a change!

    Everyone here's in a really good mood today - lovely!

    I feel we are facing the onset of a chilly winter, and as such I am now totally Ready Brekked up. Can you see me glowing?

    Bring on the chill as I am ready for the soups, stews, casseroles, mash, gravy, dumplings and all else that is considered winter fodder.

    i've started warming up my weetabix in the morning (other cereals are available) - keeps me warm all day!

    i like the cold crispness is the morning - just not the clearing of the car in the morning - have got an electrical car scraper but not used it yet!

    just got to get the heating at home sorted as its not caught up with the hour change out

    missed the whole RB/JR debate - whos show was it one?

    Ahh,central heating and hot running water.

    Things that I can only dream of....

    Still, would I swap where I am for the comfort and convenience? Not in a million years.

    i have warm air central heating - back to the seventies in my house

  • Comment number 17.

    My heating tends to consist of cosy blanket, a fantastic array of pjs, thick and fluffy dressing gown, and most importantly, strategically placed cats.

    It works for me, and not too hefty on the old pocket....

    I love your early blogging, Chris!

    It was lovely, blue and fresh here earlier but now it's all gone a bit grey - boo.

    Quite like this time of year though: Halloween, Bonfire Night, Loughborough Fair and then...wait for it...Christmas!!!

    Catching up from previous blog, I still think JR and RB are hilarious - naughty schoolboys for sure - cheeky cheeky.

    And as to the Arsenal game, my bet is 1 - 2 to the Mighty Spurs.

    Go kick some leaves,

    MW,a! - winter food rocks!!! I did a hearty beef stew the weekend before last - complete with hot bread for dunking and dumplings. It's just gotta be done! It would be rood not to ....

    Ello CLP And ALL Blog.... Blog..... Bloggers,

    Bingo Star ere......

    Errr also blogging.
    On the RB/ JR thingy I wasn't gonna comment but as some ave i'll join in abit.
    I like Jono R and The Brand, I think they are so funny and Russ in particular is unique in 'is style and could be such a funny comedian but as ave writted on the blog before, 'e ruins 'is 'umour with too much filth. It's one thing to joke abit about sexual 'appenings but all the time and completely pushing the boundaries is too much.
    I was listening in me truck ter the RB show and I 'eard some of the comments and just thought myself that's bordering on sick. I don't know 'ow old Andrew Sachs granddaughter is and I certainly 'ope she's over 18 or the comments are outrageously sick.

    I don't want to sound old fashioned as i'm not, a mean I used to find things like The Kenny Everitt Show very funny. But Mary Whitehouse did ave a very valid point. Nowadays there's just way too much violence and sex on national tv and the internet is playing a big part too.
    It's a worry what children might be looking at on the internet.
    Some things, people at work, have told me about what's on the internet... I just can't believe.
    I think all this is what's contributing to all the problems in society today, slowly breaking down society.
    Freedom of speech is good to a certain degree but not when it just keeps going too far.
    A mean the things daily we hear on the news. Like yesterday a young boy kidnapped at gunpoint in Scotland and then left in Warrington. The events in america with Jenifer Hudson's family... I just can't beleive the evil that seems to be in this world nowadays. Killings of students by a another student with a gun.
    Things like this never used to happen daily. They were very rare. But now weekly/ daily on the news!
    Why are such things spreading? Where do these unbalanced people get their ideas from? I blame tv and the internet.
    Everytime you turn on the tv in the evening people are killing each other. The problem is nowadays it's too realistic/ graphic. I used to watch things like westerns, The A-Team, James Bond and there's lots of killing there but it's done in more of a fantasy way, abit cleaner... cops and robbers style. But all these dramas on tv are just too realisitc, too deep, show too much blood and I think it gives people ideas. It's unhealthy such things going into everybodies subconsciousness on a daily basis.
    For example if someone gets involved in a fight they might just use their fists like they did at school but if they've been watching something violet on tv - it's buried in their subconscious - on the spare of the moment they might copy what they've seen. It might sound crazy but I think it's a valid point. A mean why are motorists sometimes killing each other in road rage attacks?
    I myself have been subjected to viloence on the roads many times - believe me it's scary the way some people are out there nowadays - the anger and aggression.

    Remember the words of The White'ouse.... The Mary that is noot the Bush residence. Actually I can't remember 'er exact words but they were something like "there's too much sex and violence on tv"!!!!
    Aye and remember the words of The Liam... "don't look back in anger" or was it The Noel?

    'ope this 'elps!!!!!!!

    Chow!

    PS I'll keep stum about BP's profits!!!!

  • Comment number 23.

    same as you jen, just a fave line from a fave film.

    However, it does remind me of a journey home from work around this time last year. It was nearing 9.00pm, raining buckets and trunks and most of my journey involves dark, winding country lanes. As I came out of one of the villages I noticed something crawling in the middle of the road. Being an eco warrior and also a complete wuss I slowed to make sure I didn't hit it, and saw it was a toad. As my journey progressed I saw more and more toads, and realised they were orf for a night of soggy passion at a lake in one of the fields. This was all well and good, until I ventured about half a mile up the road to be confronted with swarms of toads, giving the illusion of the road surface coming to life in a squelchy crawling kind of fashion. It was imposible to carry on with my journey without mashing them under my tyres, so again with the wuss thing I stopped driving. At this point there was oncoming traffic, that obviously did not have the same sense of concern for another living creature and you could actually hear the poor creatures popping as the cars drove past me.

    It was truly, truly horrendous, and now I come home on a different route if its raining.

    Croak.

  • Comment number 24.

    OMG, MWa, amazing, fab and disgusting all in one drive/story! Thanks for sharing! Seriously, I love it when I get caught up in Nature but toads body-popping is not cool!

  • Comment number 31.

    Bingo #21: what a brilliant comment you made. I agree 100% with what you are saying - so many of society's problems today stem from what people see, hear and read. Of course, it has always been this way, but now we are able to access things we would never have been able to dream of, even just 10 years ago.

    I have discussed with my daughter the danger of watching tv/dvd's or reading books/magazines which will distort her understanding of the real world. If we shoot someone in real life, this is not the movies - they are not going to get back up. Voilence is glorified and it is really disturbing, I think.

    As for JR/RB, I adore them both. I am a JR fanatic. But they took it too far and it wouldn't do them any harm to have their wings clipped. Incidentally Bingo, the girl they were referring to is, apparently, 23 years old, but that is academic.

    Anyway, just wanted to say I thought your post was brilliant.

    Bsmum, it is indeed Clooney, but not particularly yum in that particular movie.

    feeling pants today - have a cold lurking, hit my head of corner of dining chair, had argument with Mr. Egg ;-{ The promised snow hasn't arrived at home, at work a vaugue smattering - but did pass some cars on the road with a fair covering - that put a smile on my face for a second - until the wrinkles hurt my head and made me wince.

    Just want to crawl into a dark hole and not come out again until i feel better!

    Glad to hear you are all doing well, lurgies retreating, look forward to your cheery banter to get through until 4ish when I've decided I'm going home!

    There are some right rants going on over at RB blog...

    My favourite is "SACK ROSS AND GRANT! .. PRINT THAT THERE.. FREE SPEECH"

    Ermm... i think this person was confused. hahahahaha.

    I mean, i agree with both sides of the argument... both to a certain degree... but this is getting silly.

    I don't think my grandad would be very happy if this happened ... mind he'd be more confused that it was man calling him telling him they'd "done the deed" with me. ... he's known for years men aren;t my thing.

    Hi again,

    Back for a bit between meetings. We had snow last week, more coming tonight apparently.

    Don't like baseball. Although I do understand the rules, somewhat. I do like American Football though.

    Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday.

    Dookegg, hope you feel better soon. No fun being sick especially when the weather is crummy.

    I think it will be a draw between Spurs and Arsenal (2-2).

    I blame the press if it's not poor Amy Winehouse, it's the credit crunch bringing the world to an end.

    If Mr Sachs was so upset about the comments aired on radio why did he go public drawing more attention to his Grandaughter.. publicity?

  • Comment number 63.

    NewC - I agree they "behaved like a couple of 14 year olds" and I think they overstepped the mark a bit.

    BUT, I'm afraid I don't agree that "they totally and absolutely overstepped the mark."

    It was late Saturday night on the radio. The two chaps involved are reknown for this sort of behaviour and I think if we curb their exuberance (and attempt to tame all other such situations) we risk throwing the baby out with the water.

    I don't want to live in po-faced pc land - I'm not suggesting you do either - but I fear that's what we'll end up with if we take this too seriously.

    They have both sincerely apologised to the Sachs families. I believe the producers involved in giving the go-ahead should also be made to publicly apologise and then I think I'd draw a line under it.

    Unless, of course, Mr Sachs and his family can think up some more embarressing public humiliation for them!

    I would obviously like to see Lewis win but I wouldnt really mind who wins as long as it's done FAIRLY! If the FIA intervene again I'm not watching again... (also if Kimi crashes into Lewis at the start or something like that... that wouldnt be too good)...

    Beautiful blue skys here but apparently there has been a bit of snow up the coast... I want some!!!

  • Comment number 78.

    Afternoon each, although it feels much later - it's dark up here.

    Please don't send snow up here, I'm off out soon to an evening meeting and I'm scared of driving in the snow.

    It's the "team orders" thing that gets my goat. Letting your team-mate overtake ... that's surely not a racing instinct to let someone else win - even if he is your team-mate?!

    Most bizarre!

    Yes true but when that was introduced after Schumacher overtook Barrichello on the last corner of the race to let him win (in Belgium I think) that really ruined the race and it was pretty dispicable...

  • Comment number 81.

    CtD, I agree. Let the best man (or woman for that matter) win.

    evening all

    I'm with you Christophe, just have to get up once awake. House is nice and quiet, no kids tv either!!

    Have to put my tuppence worth in on the RB/JR incident. Inappropriate really but I have to ask this question....what does RB actually do that is so good anyway? Didn't he recently poke fun a rape victims? Big words aren't funny alone, he just doesn't float my boat at all.

    I know there are many on here who adore him but not for me. His behaviour today with the press just shows the level of the man, not a humble bone in him. How easy is it to say sorry, it was silly, blah blah?
    Mind you, what muppet allowed it to be broadcast in the first place??
    Rant over

  • Comment number 87.

    That was just the opinion of a ginger bloke in Norfolk, don't really want to get into a debate about him as I know he is well liked on here. I am a big JR fan and am saddened by his behaviour too. I look forward to his response which I hope is more dignified.
    If either of them had said that about my daughter/granddaughter/friend etc I'd def go looking for a face to face explanation!

    Gingembre,

    I agree wholeheartedly with your comments i don't find him funny in the slightest i can't see why people are clambering to have them both sacked . . wasn't it passed by the Producer who is actually in charge of the prog that goes out.

    Rant Over

    Steve :-D

    PS . . . .Shed's blooming cold just now :(

    I'm with Chris, I if wake early I have to get up or feel bad for the rest of the day if I do get back to sleep.
    Fab programme tonight. Made my day (not hard at the moment) but thank you Ian, whoever you are, with your fab choice of gobsmackers. Not enough TBS or Housemartins on the radio these days. I keep thinking of ARFing them, but never get round to it. Apparently the bf got his text read out before I got into the car tonight, so I'll be listening again later.
    No snow here, but a surge of people ordering propane for their gas heaters at work today. Gonna have to stock up on deicer, not much left after this morning attempts at being able to see out of the car!

    I've just read a brief summary of the calls they made and it was awful what they said really... if it was said in jest or not. What gets me though is that only 2 people complained when the show was first broadcast but since Sunday 10,000 complaints have been made since it's become news... it's just people jumping on the bandwagon.

    I dont think Brand and Ross should be sacked though... they''ll just go off elsewhere and get just as lucrative contracts and TV shows and such. Cut the value of their ´óÏó´«Ã½ contracts in half or something.

    Friday Night with Johnathon Ross should be an interesting watch this week though.

    I can't believe the PM has got involved! Hasn't he got a country to run??

    Vrooommmm!

    Only a quick pitstop tonight.

    The last 24 hours.

    Sleep. Had loads. Can't remember the last time I had so much. Heaven.

    Empire. Coming together nicely.

    Legs. Hurt a little, but managed 10k this evening. Got the race on Sunday.

    Car. Booked the 612. Ha!

    Life? Well, pretty damn good, all said and done.

    There. That didn't hurt a bit, did it?

    Much peace, huge love.

    MfR.

    PS Chris. If it is the 250 LM Berlinetta, go for it. Don't go mad though.

  • Comment number 94.

    Gingembre/Steve - prob the only female to agree but cannot stand Brand - spitting image of my brother in law in looks and attitude - bombastic and one to take centre stage whether you liked it or not. although b-i-law would certainly not be that crude. and JR should be ashamed of himself for letting himself get dragged in.
    If the beeb halved their pay perhaps they could pay itv for Doc Martin and my fav person Mr Fry in Kingdom and others. Far more entertaining!

    Rant over! sorry.

    Matt - don't encourage him!!! he's got enough cars! Pleased to see all going well with you.

    Gingembre - any news on the job
    AND
    CLP any news on your unpacking for gingembre??????????????? C'Mon - we need to know!

    Just checking in. Back from thoroughly boring meeting on Locality Planning (no, I don't know either).

    Matt: Lucky you on getting a good night's sleep.

    Haven't much to add on the RB/JR debate. Didn't hear it but what little I've read/heard, they sounded just like two teenagers who'd got out of control. Perhaps they should be treated as such and ignored.
