199 that's what they tell me.

Chris Evans | 09:49 UK time, Monday, 19 January 2009

199, a significant number...

... for me at the moment at least. A significant number indeed. Oh my goodness so siginificant, if what they say is true. Who knows?

Here's another significant number, 10. 10 is the number of days until we two are due to become we three. Mother and unborn sprog both doing fine by the way.

How about 6 and 6, those are two lots of money I owe.

Ah yes, I was thinking about those two little issues this morning whilst swimming my way back to wakefulness.

Another 10... the number of circuits I do, on my run.

14! The number of minutes I spend on the power plate after my run.

2... the time I must have left for work by.

7... the number of records I must play in the first hour - 8, the number I must play in the second hour.

8 again... the time my wife expects me home.

Life in many ways is governed by numbers. Is this because where we live it's all about money and time?

But 199, now that's the number... or so they tell me.

CLP.

    My life is governed by numbers - well I am a bean counter and most things work better if you set a number on them -

    Poll - who gets out of bed at either a time with 0 or 5 at the end - most people like the number to be one or the other before they get up! For instance i got out of bed at 6:20 this morning as it was a gym day!

    Four. The amount of buses I have had to go on this morning as I came to work with all the keys, having locked the Badger in the flat.

    Good morning Christophe. Which is the first time I've said that this week. Glad you two/three are doing well!

    I wish someone owed me 6 and 5!

    SBP - my alarm clock is normally a 3 or a 7. I guess I'm just weird!

    Cheryl, I'm not gonna tell you to have fun, cus I know you will. Just be gentle with him. Scrap that! Do as you please...

    new sofa coming on Thursday, a bit of an early burfday present for me. Book is now open for guesses as to how long it'll take the cats to wreck this one. My guess is approx 8 minutes....

    And I think it would be grand if bubba DJ was born on my burfday - 24th Jan, boy, 7lb 11oz.

    And thanks for the welcome home massages, and to those of you that thought I was imparting wisdom. Will wonders never cease today???

    Til later,

    Hi CLP - so 199 is the key no eh? I wonder why??

    17 is my favourite no 'cos it's my birthday no!

    Re your 6 and 6 that you owe - tht reminds me of a (very topical) saying of an old self-employed friend "If you owe the bank £100 it's your problem - if you owe them £100 million it's theirs!"

    Morning CLP

    30 - the number of minutes I have left in this job before I move onto the next one.

    6.5 the number of hours left until I get my (home) computer back after it's been fixed - hooray - and I didn't loose anything that was on it, it will all be there. Despite the shop telling me it was doomed and I'd lost everything, my very clever friend fixed it!

    Hello all.

    9 - the number of under 7's we took to play at Twickenham on Saturday organised brilliantly by the premiership team I despise the most...London Wasps or Wycombe Bees as I prefer!

    9 - the number of under 7's who left Twickenham on Saturday night as confirmed Wasps fans (complete with free Wasps Beanie hat) including my Son who had previously been a London Irish fan like his old man.
    Still, they have to make their own mistakes!

    2 - the number of under 7's who still turned out for training on Sunday morning (despite going to bed at 22:30 the night before) and wearing the aforementioned hat. Bless them.

    Finally...
    1 - very sad little fella who isn't going to see RB tonight.

    1,000,000 - the amount of times CTD has rubbed my nose in it since last week...Enjoy Chez!

    Dave - wish I'd had your cats!

    28 - that's more like the no of scratches I used to get!

    3 - the no of years that one of them had daily medication. But I was advised to wrap the pills in meat paste - found a really cheap and stinky one that he loved, and ate without protest - job done!

    100+ - the dirty looks I got at the supermarket when buying multiple jars of it though - people clearly assumed I fed my young kids on it!

    5- My Mum had made me a big teddy bear cake with a ribbon round it's neck. The ribbon caught fire from the candles. The cake was horribly maimed. It was during the Falklands War and images of Simon Weston were abundant,so this lent the fire-ravaged teddy another potent layer."Would you like another peice of Belgrano gateau young man."

    Hazel_ Hope you don't make a habit of locking your husband up.

    I too have received the "hide the tablet" advice. It worked once on each cat, they then worked out that the crunchy bit tasted foul and spat it back out with a resounding "ptoo - ding" sound effect!

    DD - our cats are great at having the treatment on the back of the neck - will just sit and take it as they know there will be kitty chocolate afterwards.

    Never had to do the tablet thing but i'm guessing the bagpipe manurove - under the arm and hold tight - is the only way.

    fairly certain you may have come across this before, but it always makes me giggle....

    HOW TO GIVE A CAT A TABLET...

    Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding tablet in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop tablet into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

    Retrieve tablet from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

    Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy tablet away.

    Take new tablet from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push tablet to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

    Retrieve tablet from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

    Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop tablet down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

    Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another tablet from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for glueing later.

    Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put tablet in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

    Check label to make sure tablet not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

    Retrieve cat from neighbour's shed. Get another tablet.

    Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick tablet down throat with elastic band.

    Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Throw Tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

    Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologise to neighbour who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.

    Take last tablet from foil-wrap.
    Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push tablet into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash tablet down.

    Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes tablet remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

    Arrange for RSPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

    I'm going to have some chickens, pigs, goat and of course my ducks. Perhaps also a dog, not over keen on dogs (no offence to anyone) but I think a dog would be good company. And if there is a husband thrown in then all well and good.

    Prof, no. But perhaps I should...after all...it's his birthday on Friday...anyhoo, I'm hoping the financial ruin isn't too ruinous(?) and that you have people to look after you! Me and the Badger have a lovely legal aid solicitor...and we can highly recommend the service! Good luck.

    Oh, and just a quickie...my boss was just talking about fat numbers and thin numbers. He used a term (which I can't remember now, and he's very good at all the 'manager' speak...WAY past singing from the same hymn sheet or shooting himself in the foot) which is used to determine whether people will pay a fat number or a thin one.

    Thin ones usually end in a 9, fat ones in a 5 or a 0. So, would you pay £429 for a sofa from DF5? Or £430?

    See! Knew you'd find me eventually!!!!!! The picture is of Rascal (orphaned kitten) taken last time he was here in the office. He is now coming up for 5 months and is due to "get done" shortly (hopefully it might make him a tad less aggressive!)

    Re: Pigs - Yep they are for the oven. well except the mummies and daddy!

    Sheep - Snap!

    Cattle - Snap!

    Hens, ducks, - eggs

    Geese - eggs & meat

    Dogs - rounding up aforementioned animals

    Cat - my sanity!!!

    I love that word, moisture!!

    It's great.

    I also like discombobulate and provarication, and on every second tuesday of the month, I like gesticulate.

    I'm weird :)

    Just catching up - you lot are so norty!!!
    Was just wondering what was in Diva's shopping that made the check-out lady tut so much, thank you Hazel for clearing that up!!

    AliB and anyone else who wants to come and live with me in my idyllic River Cottage-style existence at some point in the future, please feel free to sign up here. We do, however, have to have dogs. I'm not fussed about ducks, but I'll compromise if you will :-)

    Right, home time I think. It's very very dark here, we just had a massive hail storm too - it's great being on 7th floor when the weather is so wild!!!

    Looking forward to seeing the headlines tomorrow -

    "Brand chased off stage by woman wearing a holey mohair bustier ..."

    15 - the number of pull up thingies i did at the gym yesterday before my groin went snap..ouch ouch ouch is all i can say!

    anyhoo... all good on the western front i se... as for the eastern front...well it remains to be seen if it is still standing after CtD outing tonight..me thinks pandemonium in the aisles! Enjoy!

    Me? off to see Cabaret in Sheffield tonight with work girlies.. got one of the girls from the lloyd webber tv show in and Wayne Sleep as EmCee... shoudl be fun considering the last time i heard/watched Cabaret was me murdering it as a violinist during our 6th form production... i feel tonight may be a tad more professional!

    Tins, am on the fourth floor, with a view of the sea. When I can't see the sea, it means it's either foggy, snowy or haily.

    When it's haily, I rock around the clock.

    And also, clearing up anything to do with Diva's shopping should only be done by someone fully qualified. But I don't know what in.

    dook, I'll have a crocodile samwich

    Tins - I'm signing up. Happy to compromise over the dog and duck issue xx

    CtD - Have a great time and try to behave, oh all right then don't bother. Can't really see the attraction of Mr Brand, but then I guess you could say that about some of the men I lust after - good job we are all unique and different, makes the world a better place.

    Back again briefly - had some work to do unfortunately!

    Tobes - glad you like that sketch too!

    Bondy - had a v. quick look on YT and couldn't see it - but it may be listed under a wider title. I think we have it on a DVD of a live show in NYC in the early/mid 2000's - but don't hold me to that!

    More work calling..........

    Hi Scoobs, would have to agree/hope that Hamilton wins it all again this year. Hopefully they can improve the reliability of his car. It seemed to wain a little in the latter stages of the season......

    Suddenly come over all dark here, seems like a good night for the wierd things to come out on top!

    Time to head home before the nightcrawlers come out to play!

    Scoobs give me an update on Cabaret tomorrow pls!

    Diva - Enjoy! nuff said!

    PS - Does anybody else find that the Laura and the Tears song makes them think about the Rocky Horror song from Frank "Well you got a flat, well how about that" Just me then.

    Chips!!

    Bond - I certainly hope he wins the British GP in June as I'm going for the first time ever - it's a special birthday treat for mr df. Not something we could afford to do every year though!

    Scoob, the number of times I call my little cat 'scoob' and think of you...all of them! And also, Dook didn't list your groin as one of the things that goes 'snap!'. Were you enjoying a goose at the time?

    Tobes, it's prEvaricate...not that I want to mislead you in any way...

    Further to the mention of Cabaret (which I don't fancy, but don't let that stop you and I hope you have a great time!) does anyone wanna see Little Shop of Horrors in Feb at the Dome? This would be the Brighton one as opposed to any other.

    Tony Hart died. Am bereft. He used to live at the bottom of my friend's garden. Not a fairy, just the other side of the fence!
    So, Christophe, please can you play the Gallery music tonight sometime?

    doodoodoodoodooo, dobedoobedoobedoo...

    see you 2moz
    love

    ps I thought of a new word a couple of weeks ago, but only remembered it yesterday. The definition is taking some work though, as it only sits in context at the moment...

    Scooby: you lucky girl! I am not on FB, so my imagination is running riot as to how you "got" the ring!

    And it's snowing in Glasgow - oh yes. A lovely journey home lies ahead. It's been a while since I fell on my jacksy, so I'm really looking forward to it!

    Have phoned MrS - he is meeting me at the train station with my wellies, so I hope I can keep upright until then!

    EH? What's all this about things snapping and groins?

    Chrissie
    Why would Mr S need to bring the wellies if he is meeting you at the station? Holes in the car or will he still make you walk?
