ARF - State of Independence?!!

That dinner party sounds a bit scary to me!!

T xx

my ARF - money by Pink Floyd - well it seems to be the No 1 topic of convesation at the moment

super bp x

Sounds like a great dinner party...mine normally end up with someone falling off, over or into something after consuming large amounts of adult pop...and no, its no ALWAYS me!

ARF please: Thats Amore - any version!
3 reasons... 1: Reminding me of my hol just taken in Italy, 2: CtD off to see Rat Pack tonight and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis did just the best version ever!

and thirdly - just cos its a great song everyone sings too..no matter if they dont know the words!

Thanking you muchly in advance!

mSc x

PS - Tinsel - Pickled eggs are lurvely! x

Well, seeings as we're sharing ..

I went to my local pub in Belfast and slagged off the owner who just happens to be Christine Bleakley's (The One Show)boyfriend - she was going on and on about one of the fit dancers on Strictly the other night, not realising that cameras may have been recording . . .no offence taken . . .phew!!

By the way - her boyfriend is a mate, a lovely bloke called Mark and is a gentleman.

The beer was nice too.

DtM x

ARF: Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy . . .

Dear Christoph

How about Eloise for ARF - I can't remember whether it was the Damned or Barry Ryan - but it's a great record and always good for a singalong in the car.

Hugs Mr E xx

Pops

mSc ... maybe I'll try a bit of yours at the picnic, don't think I could stomach a whole one! I've only ever seen them in chippies in those big jars and they look like some weird kind of alien specimen, yukk!!!

and I think I'd rather be at your kind of dinner party, sounds much more my kind of style - falling off chairs, spilling things and as an encore, crying ha ha!!

Orf home now - see y'all tomorrow

T xxxx

PS = Good choice Pops!!!

Tinsel - are you sure you HAVENT been to one of my dinner parties...??!!

DtM - great song chocie by the way..havent heard it for ages.. but still want Thats Amore more!

Dan - beer's always nice, surely?

Scoobs - you been reading my FB status???

that's amore!

Arf request please

Johnny Cash - Five Feet High and Rising

Ta muchly

L.

Well, CLP, nice one for being invited to dinner in such company! Me, I don't think I'd enjoy it. See, I don't watch the news all the time and I don't always know what's going on. Or why. And all the ins and outs are just beyond me sometimes. So I'd just be sitting there, feeling a bit thick hehe.

Bet you had lots to contribute though, eh??

AF x

ps Scoob, can I come to your next one, sounds like more my kinda thing ;-)

Wish I had been there - sounds really good although with power type parties there is always one person who can take over and send everyone else outside!
Don't do dinner parties any more - got rid of hangers on so no one left now!!
Can I come to your next one Scoob - that sounds just the ticket! Suit me down to the ground - or table - whichever I drop on first!
Can't think of an ARF at mo - will dwell and come back later. Got to be baby or wedding related - or money of course!

Beesmum xxx

Tinsel - pickled egg in a packet of cheese and onion crisps - chomped side by side -heaven!

Flower, Beesmum, Tinsel and anyone else...added to the dinner party list! Although you may need to bring a tent....

Hootie and the Blowfish - haven't heard them since Uni days - wow what a blast from the past

Quack

I would love to be able to play the keyboard Beesmum.

Remember dancing to sway with Hubby on my 30th. Trying to do a mean salsa, everyone said it look good though.

Have a great time tonight CTD and let us know about it in the morning.

Also let me know the first song tommorrow as stuck at work this time and my boss also doesn't let us have radio on.

Have a nice eveing everyone.

Catch you laters

Hi Chris, nice party? I'm having 2 families over for Sunday lunch this week as we were given a very large leg of lamb which our small family couldn't manage ourselves (particularly as I am a veggie). We thought we'd share our goos fortune and have some good company at the same time. Pecan Pie for dessert yummy!


ARF please please please
Born to be Wild Steppen Wolf

My youngest DD has been trying to get picked on the phone since she was 6, now she is 7. She has got through a couple of times but never been called back. Serious sibling rivalry as big sis got through and spoke to Chris ages ago. So for little Gelly, who BTW wants it as it was the only one she could sing on her Canadian cousin's game machine Karaoke thingy. She's a real rock chic!

Sorry don't have a golden goose fortune meant good fortune obviously!

ARF - Canned Heat - On the Road Again.

Not so much because of Canned Heat ( business idea in these Fuel Poverty times ??? ).

Just cos its good and appropriate, like yourself !

xxx

ARF Yackety Yak by The Coasters Please in remeberence of my Dad who died 2 years ago on 30th September 2006...it was his favourite song and always brings a smile to my face.

Thanks in advance

Sara

Can someone tell me is this where i put my record suggestion for friday

ARF

'You ain't seen nothing yet' by Bachman Turner Overdrive - great up beat track - almost challenging the weekend to brace itself for a full on two days after a fantastic week.

Brilliant!

Richard

fistral08, yep stick your suggestion right here my dear.

CLP that dinner party sounds like such hard work, wasn't it a bit intense?

Guys thanks for all the positive comments regarding the interview. At least he has met me, so if I don't get this one he said he will consider me for something else.

Tinsel, he said that he would give me a ring early next week.

Bingo, so funny again. He didn't seem very parasitic though ;-)

LM has been on top form this afternoon.

First thing he said when I picked him up was 'Mummy why do you look pretty today?'

Driving back from school, he said 'Mummy the clouds look like shapes, that one looks like bum cheeks' (!?)

Bless him eh?

Back soon.

x x x

PS: Had a slice of gala pie with some pickle, lovely jubbly!

Second time caller but the first commented I posted didn't seem to stick!
ARF Could I request Queen Don't stop me now as the first record for all Great North Runners especially my husband Martin who is doing it for the first time since surviving a stroke and 5 teachers from Seaton Burn College (including me). Also Hi to Sue who can't make it this year.

Thanks! Catherine R

It IS me B/Day on Sat afterall :-D

Cheers Chris

Steve (the aging punk) :-D

CLP - sounds like a fantastic dinner, love challenging chat with interesting people...

ARF - Gloria Gaynor - I am what I am

Just because....well I'm applying for a job today that is for the good of people (charity) rather than big company stuff. Had enough of that and want to have a job that gives something back, less money but hey....

So on that basis - i am what I am, so please play and then i know i'll get the job..

thanks clp and team

Best of luck with the job - I work for a charity and I LOVE it

Thanx Sparkly. How did the holiday go? Have I remembered rightly? You were going on first hol on your own? Hope Ive got it right!

yeah think it would be great to work and give back at the same time...now I know I'm in good company.

Oh well, being Bingoed......

ARF? The Fly by U2.....

Bloggers. Not all of one blogger with old and new bits.

Happy birthday for Saturday Steve!

Hi Boleyngirl! How cool is this? Thursday is the new Friday (wine club ha ha). Am sitting here drinking wine, watching the Restaurant and talking to me mates - perfick!!

xxx

Sparkly - sounds perfect. I had about 8 years of single life but had daughter who then was whole lot younger...so sort of had hols on own...ie.not much adult chat...sometimes very refreshing, other times...well just different!!! but congrats, a big thing to enjoy your own company, with the dog who is always happy!

And I am sitting with glass of wine, writing up this application in between blogging, think i need to concentrate on the job in hand!!

dreamer
xxxx

A - how did the tearful weekend go?! Bet your Mum cried bouquets!!

Dreamer, I had those hols too - lots of hols with just me and my daughter - I've been a single parent since she was 2, altho I have had a couple of relationships. Now she's 18 tho and lots more independent. I just loved being 'free' for a week!!!

Keep going with the app. Good luck
T xx

Hi Chris, it's amazing how forward thinking some people can be isn't it, that they can spot something brilliant at such an early stage.

Just a thought for your first song tomorrow connected to your blog, how about Eat the Rich by Motorhead. It'll certainly be a rocking tune to start the show and wake people up. If you think it's a good idea, could you please dedicate it to my wife, who's next to me in bed thinking up a dinner party menu, woo hoo.

Cheers

Paul Herbert, Haverfordwest

Done - just had to make up my blurb., sorry meant serious comments n why I should get the job! applications close tomorrow so going to hand deliver to local office, been indecisive about it hence late application!! AHHHhh......fingers crossed. thanks for good luck wishes.

Sparkly - think we have had some parrallel life thing going on,( I remember you saying you also wanted to do the whole buddha retreat thing! Def going to do that one day! maybe we should do it together. ) Was on my own since the now teen-anger was 3.

I am now in relationship which has been 4 years of toughness and fun! But we have both worked hard so should be worth it. Never met anyone before that I wanted to try so hard with so maybe that's the difference.


right off to fill the glass and probably change my application a few times...

xxxxx

OOOH - is that herb with the 'h' pronounced or the american 'erb'........

xxx

mmmmm Christophe Lambie Pie your dinner party sounds extremely interesting. Who did the cooking and what was on the menu?

The restaurant tonight was brilliant the couple that were closed down really weren't that good and the other one won't be far behind either.

ARF: Anything by Stiff Little Fingers

I have just returned to playing volleyball and my fingers are very stiff and slightly swollen tonight.

Welcome mickyt1975 in Wincanton - the twin town to Ankh Morpork for the TP lovers on this blog.

This town gets taken over at least two weekends a year by all things Discworld and great fun it is too.

Scooby can I come to the picnic too please - I can provide the alcoholic (and non alchol version for drivers) Tiffen a recipe brought back from Singapore by one of my Aunts.

Tinsel and Dreamer, enjoy your Thursday wine club! Family duties beckon here I'm afraid, though glass is plied anyway! Love your thing about the blurb Dreamer! You love current affairs, scuba diving, pot-holing, you do meals on wheels and am-dram. You design and sew up your own clothes. Obviously you are a team player while being highly independent; you are always ready to listen but never too frightened to talk, and of course you have that absolute must - a sense of humour.

I remember all that!

Good luck, and good night all.

Phoenix - Ankh Morpork? Eh?

Bono Noches one and all

Oh I wish I was a Wizard. My first trick would to be to make Airport Securtiy Staff and Ryanair air appointed check in staff vanish.

Firstly what is the point of taking bottles off passengers over 100ML. My unexpected trip to Majorca saw one of these little job's worth's snatching my bottle of Bergasol. I had declared in my little plastic bag but not realised was over 100ML. He seemed to take great delight in dropping my £8.00 worth and other Terrorist looking passengers on a trip to Majorca shampoo and hand cream in to a bin.
Ok, so now I feel the public should know that the xray machine cannot pick up plastic bottles so put as much as you want in your hand luggage.

As for Ryanair Highwaymen.



Tried to catch up but so many entries but Hey TTT don't have a go at Steve Wright right.


PP

Hello, had a glass of wine so count me in.

Good luck with that application form dreamer and thank you, I absolutely love that song. I'll go to bed with that playing around my head now.

See, some ladies are easy to please:)

Laurie.

Dreamer - I'm in on the retreat!! I was watching a bit of Griff Rhys Jones on anger the other night and he went off to a Buddhist retreat in Scotland that looks AMAZING!!!

Can't believe the result on the Restaurant tonight. Won't give it away tho, don't want to spoil it for CtD and anyone else who hasn't seen it yet.

Laurie - love Valerie too!!

Or the full-on version of Champagne Supanova - great singalong!!!

How's the wine Debs? Mines going down a bit too quickly!!

American Tune Simon and Garfunkel.

B's Mum you do make me laugh.

Security Staff what a milarky..

But nope home now .


Just been reading this Steve Fosset Story.. is he alive and well with Elvis... I think it's a yes from me.


Sleep well.

HEEEEY!

Can you play The Proclaimers "500 Miles" .. because...

Today is my last day as a long distance driver,(who does about 500 miles a day... ) before moving down to Essex, to be with my lovely lady Kim. AND... I'm bringing my cat, Bobbins, who's nestled up in my lap right now.. and hearing this on the radio will be the first time I've told Bobbins she's about to move out of Yorkshire!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH... and.. I'm sorry... I won't be driving anymore... so no more drive-time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh.. My ....God!

Paul ...

Just a quick night night.

PP - security staff - had 2 very very bad experience. one at Stanstead - at the time you were allowed very little and I had my jar of Kiels lip balm, very precious, and got taken off me with much delight. And had terrible weekend, travelling due to family illness, so I just burst into tears!!! but got abs no sympathy, like I was some mad Kamikaze (no idea of spelling!!) then at mad american airport got told by huge huge security guard to take off every item of jewellery-(and I don't wear lots of the stuff!) so I forgot my silver ring. Went back through and bleeped (I always bleep!) and he came over shouting in my face, put the ring in a pot then he dropped it....so ended up with around 6 security searching on hands and knees holding up massive queue for very cheap ring which I of course was not about to leave without......ha security....

Phew. Sorry for late rant,

BM think CLP will do the right thing and play ARF...

Night all

I'll still listen though! :)

Prof - just popped over after yelling at question time - must get a life!

I love all these newbies - a late night driver? Paul - here and gone with pussy tat? tip tappity? brilliant - have to confess listened to man from Perth other night and he played - can't remember - as usual - but stuck shoes on my bare feet and tap danced in the kitchen like one of the Rolly Pollys!! Imagination rules here! One of those Gene Kelly type dancing films - song from!

Beesmum xxx

BM xxx

Tip tappity Paul stay with us! What are you going to do now not driving?

BM xx

This is naughty but Dreamur Dream when I was out of real work I did Airport security for a while, I was trained with ex Army. It was interesting. I learned so much and how to profile people.

Now it's token security they employ anybody for about £7 quid and hour and thank heavens for real police in the airport within the hidden camera's.

right off.


Why did I end up doing Kareoke singing My way the other night I have no idea.

PP

Sorry but Mr Wright and his big show posse must be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Mark Radcliffe is the future of afternoon radio.

TTT

TTT

Steve Wright is Radio 2 for me.

Where he broadcasts I will follow. That's how I got into R2 in the first place.


I think Mark Ratcliff is good too though.

To many good people out there.


Isn't You Tube fab though.

**FRIDAY'S OPENING SONG**

Hey Chris

Can you please play Queen's 'I WAS BORN TO LOVE YOU' as it would get the weekend off to a great start!

Next week I'm going to see Queen with Paul Rodgers at Glasgow and I'm looking forward to it!!!!

Cheers Chris!
Sylvia Beaumont

I have to agree with you people that Mark Radcliffe is doing a great job in the afternoons and is a breath of fresh air compared to the now 'boring' Steve Wright and his posse!

Let Steve do his Sunday love songs show where he plays the same songs week in and week out, in a different order!!!

KEEP MARK RADCLIFFE FOR THE WEEKDAY AFTERNOONS!!!!!!!

Raddcliffe wont do afternoons on a perm basis. He can't play the music he likes. He's good in the evenings with Stuart though.

Steve :-D

*Yawn*

Morning all

Well you lot were certainly cery busy last night! Great catch-up reading with my pain-ai-chocolat this morn. Cheers!

Well, what can I say ... last night was fantastico! Those guys work really hard to re-create the Rat Pack and don't disappoint. Think that maybe I was born too late (cue for a song ...?). The glitz, the glamour, the sparkly dresses, the elbow-high gloves .... love it, love it, love it!

Shucks! Those rebels even smoked on stage - whatever next!?!?!

Got home about 11 so a little tired this morning - although Mr Diva was still out the door at half five for starting work at 6. The loon!

Hey Steve - we chose the same ARF toons - what're the chances, eh?

May sneak behind SNS's parapit this morning for a nap .... wonder if he's on FB? Talking of which .....
