Hi Chris - wondered where you had got to! Must have been a lot of posters..............

My ARF request has nothing to do with Easter because try as I might I couldn't think of anything that did except "in my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it......." which might not set quite the right tone for the show.

So - please can you play "Gimme some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group to get the weekend off to a suitably flying start?

Thanks muchly. Loving your work!

df

Christophe, so glad you're feeling better! But aaaargh, I can't think of an ART - it's all just thrown me completely!

AF x

hzel - got a solution - how bout you use the @????
Deb

df - is that easter parade? anyone checked if that film is on? I love that film with a passion - maybe I should actually buy it???

ART - anything by jive bunny? No - oh okay then
Rabbit - chaz and dave
Roll away the stone - mott the hoople

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I've thought of one for ART! CLP can I have 'Have a Nice Day' by Bon Jovi please?

AF x

sbp - yes, it is but I haven't seen the film for decades! My dear old granny used to sing it when I was little - funny how some lyrics stay in your head forever!

df

Isn't it Beezers birthday again this week???

:-o

Do you know what song I haven't heard for ages?

Tom Jones - Delilililililah


Why why why what a cracking tune!

DD out

Afternoon Chris,

Glad the tum is better.

I've just checked out the ingredients for tonight and I've got everything but the egg. Had the last one boiled in my pitta bread at lunchtime - Bums (as AnnieG would say).

Oh well, some other time eh! Although I do do a chocolate steam pud in the micrwave that you cook for 5 mins, serves four or two greedy people!

Have a great show and all the best to those who cook along with you.

Hi Cris,

Glad to hear you are getting better. I'm enjoying the new web site. You look so youthful when you smile and so handsome when you don't! I loved the laughing yoga video.

Deev - tell him when you speak on FB or whatever to get back here and not to let the b**t**ds grind him and the blog down!

I've absented myself a couple of times until it all died down but if it occurs again I suggest we just ignore all nasty posts whatever they say.

df

I've passed on all comments to Tobe - even said the Bingo fan club has been usurped in fave of a "Don't Go Tobe" vibe.

I guess its now down to the man himself.

He doesn't do Facebook but I'll continue to pass on your comments when we next speak.

Deev x x x

Hi All,

three days into the school hols and totally demented. Son's had a squad of 15 year olds eating me out of house and home - more pals tomorrow! The wee one's got a job lambing and he's only 12!!!!!

ART - something soothing for all the stressed out mums in Scotland - you lot get your hols next week.

Got the ingredients for tonight - lots of eggs too - the hens are up to FULL production - 10 a day.

The waistline WILL expand with all the cakes i've been making.

Glad you enjoyed your hols Chris, but you were a BIG MISS.

Hi CLP and everyone,

df - I absolutely agree with you. I have been away (geographically) but also absented myself a while for the same reasons as yourself.

Ctd - I agree with df - pls let Tobes know. Thanks.

CLP - I hope the cook-in cake session goes really well. I'm sure it will if you are the cake meister.

Glad you're feeling better, Chris, just in time for the long weekend.

Hi everyone,

Wow, what a busy day! Still mission accomplished, and as a bonus, an assessment passed with flying colours, only one more to do before mid-May.

Hope you've all had reasonable days, and for those who haven't, hope the rest of the day improves!

Thanks to those who made suggestions for the impending visit of the two nieces, I think we've got plenty of ideas now.

About to head home, will probably catch youse later.

JG x

ps ARF - Here comes the sun

ART - how about a seasonal flavour or parfum to start the show: Hot Chocolate - You Sexy Thing.

M xx

pps Glad you feel better CLP!

Deev? the other day you had a bit of "goat" vibe going on - being a numpty blonde I have just had a thought - were you drawing on any litratory (?) references to bridges and the whatsits that lived below?

I know it was a while ago - but it takes me a while y' know and often I get completely the wrong end of the branch and read things in that aren't there - possibly the case now!

Hmmmm - now that guy that pulled out infront of me last month.....was that hand signal telling me that that was twice someone had beeped their horn at him......

I wonder! (and so does Mr. Egg although he shakes his head at me when he does)

Quack

arf/art tomorrow, Let em in, Billy Paul version please.

Ta ta Lin x

Dook

ref goat vibe. no - that stemmed from that hippy name quiz on FB. i could just see myself as a dippy hippy, wandering thru a meadow wearing my love beads and floaty skirt, with a goat called Mabel tethered on a bit of rope as my companion!

Mehhhhhhhhh!

Deev x x x

Just done a comparison of chocolate mug cake with Cathmel's and it's almost identical!!

See what I mean! - I apologise!

Goats are COOL creatures though! Bought Dad 2 for a christmas pressie and by easter they had both had twins!! Whoopsie!

Quack

A.R.T.

Please,please,please,please play 'Welcome to the monkey house' by Animal Magnet.

After you played Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy the other night it sent me straight back to the 80's and dancing at the local Working Man's club, i was about 10 and these 2 songs were always played together.

Nostalgia hear i come.

Penny Forem - Thought it sounded like Cathmels - someone should tell Chris it was on the blog last year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beez xx
flagging - can't do any more - gonna take the post - feet up - and have a large glass of red.

mommygolby- what a great tune! I was just thinking how much I wish I'd requested CtD's Then Jerico - Big Area and then you come up with that!!!! I used to dance to that at a working mens club near me when I rode a customised vespa.... ahhhh back in the day!!!

Luv
Lyndyloo
-x-x-

I'm feeling so old!! I've never heard of Animal Magnet and barely of Then Jericho - and I certainly don't know those songs.

What on earth was I doing when they came out? Working hard or sitting in a pub somewhere probably...........

df

Derbyfi,

Pub I reckon. One of those without music.

;-)

in fact I must have been there too!!

Beez, can't take the credit for that, it was Deev who remembered it was Cathmel's, I cut and pasted it and just compared it with the website. If Chris reads the blog he will soon know!!

A glass of red sounds the business!

df - join the club lol

Pen x

.........or not that sort of music Thunder - I've just found them on Itunes and they sound very late 80's - my era was late 70's to about 1986 and then I changed my social scene completely and for some years didn't keep up with the new stuff.

Now if you're talking Sex Pistols, Blondie, Joy Division, Mighty Wah, The Jam etc then I would know them!

df

Where's Bondy, have I missed him?

Pen x

Now you mention it.............AWOL I think Penny.

df

When I make the choclit cake, I'm gonna mix it first in something bigga - then tip it in the mug. That way you make sure everything gets mixed.

Is that cheating - I don't think so!

Penny x

Is everyone busy making cake?

I didn't have all the stuff today but have copied the recipe and might try it over the weekend.

df

WAIT FOR ME!!!
My poor old pooter decided that's it, and not gonna work no more, I've only just been able to be connected, So I've got all of yesterday (after about pm ish) and today to catch up. Or, help me out - did I miss anything major?

Guess wot?
I got a letter today inviting me to an interview - It's a strange job, but I really want it - I'll tell ya after the interview (next Weds)

Evening All,

Cake in Mug made.....and eaten! For a 5 minute cake it 'aint half bad, and the boy loved it!!

Off to put boy to bed now, be back later for a proper catch up..

ebx

Penny - you're right. No news from Bondy but I'm hoping no news is good news. My fingers are still crossed from yesterday.

Nicki - I'll keep fingers crossed for next Wednesday, interview day. Well, I'll uncross over the weekend or will have problems doing everything that has to be done.

Catch you all later.
M x

Good luck Nicki

Evening each

Well chill out completed...now GM has arrived home with a plan for the garden...to do over his 4 days off. If i tell you it involves railway sleepers, no grass and gravel then you may get the idea...beginning to feel glad i`m at work fri/Sat!

Nicki - great news re interview...again,everything crossed and lets hope Bondys no comment is good news..

Deev..how did the `lets cut costs` meet go or is that a BAD question...?

Now.. off to do rustle something up for dinner..after spending a small mortgage at A*da earlier i must be able to find something....

mSc x

PS-AF - hope the tooth is ok and Mr Dentist was nice to you! And Annie.. hope the lemon flavoured cold remedy is working for you..x

Didn't have any cocoa, so used coffee instead! Mixed it with the milk first. The one I made when Cathmel's recipe was posted climbed out of the mug and crawled across the microwave turntable! I used a bigger mug this time. Tasted scrummy (past tense)

ta ta Lin x

Nicki,
Good luck for next week. Fingers crossd.

Hello All

The coffee variation sounds great.

ART - In Your Light - John Allen

But after 17.45 please! Can't listen before.

SSP

Deev is home. School's out til Chewsday! Red wine in hand. PJs on. Black, naturally.

Now - this choc cake bizziness. Try adding a pinch of chilli powder (or to taste). Can't beat a nice chilli choc cake.


I'm going to have bash at that tomorrow.

And do a "proper" cake. Just in the mood, y'see.

Scoobs - the meeting didn't happen. I was sooooo busy today. Stoopid busy. Even too busy to email Beezer. That's busy!

Then lovely man boss rang at half five to thank me for the extra hours I've put in this week and ordering me to go have a wonderful weekend. Almost felt guilty for the angry text I sent a mate earlier! Ooops!

Right, off to see what I can cook for dinner tomorrow as I'll have the time and ART to listen to whilst cooking it .. feeling hot and spicy, y'know!

Laters

Divaski
x x x

Ooooh yeh ... Nicki ... everything crossed for ya! xx

Just got home and double-checked the cupboard after ringing Mr JG to check we'd got everything...and no sugar!! Can't substitute, and can't face going back out!

Never mind, will have a go with the girls next week, they can make one each :) Can it be an ordinary mug, or a larger one, I have both, just wanted to check?

Good luck Nicki - fingers crossed for you!

JG x

Afternoon and good evening to you all. Really late start for me today. I had the dreaded dentist this morning so I was off to a late start. Snow again overnight, another inch and still blowing around in the air. Hope you all had a good day.

Bon Soir CLP.

I have a suggestion for the first tune for 'All Request Thursday' ...

How about in, celebration of David Tennant's radio show and the return of Dr Who this weekend, a spot of 'Doctorin' the Tardis', by the Timelords! It's bound to get the party rocking.

All the best, Chris B.

Good choice Chris B.

HELP!

Wanna make a carrot cake tomorrow and ccan't find the recipe anywhere for the cream cheese topping. I know its cream cheese and icing sugar but anyone got any idea on quantities?

Will check back later.

Deev xx x

deev - lots - i love the frosting and you can send it too me

want to make the choc cake in a mug but only have plain flour - does anyone know if thats something that can be subsituted?

super bp x

Bagpuss

Plain flour usually requires a teaspoon of baking powder to a cup of flour. Brain too addled at moment to do the math, but am sure you will know how to reduce the quantity.

Sounds yum. xx

no baking powder either - im no cook or baker - does this mean I cannot have my cake?

Some recipes mention Baking Soda, but I am not familiar with ratios of that to flour!

Can anyone else help??

This may require quick trip to nearest shop!

i think so too - darn - will have to leave it until tomorrow

Love the idea of a cook-a-long. Pity I don't usually get to switch on early enough.

Am going to try the cake-in-a-mug now! Have found some castor sugar in the back of the cupboard...

Evening all

Chris it's good to have you back, glad you're feeling better.

#38 It's not just scotland on school hols They're off in Cornwall as well, I'm just about surviving the 1st week and there's still another to go, I'm dreading the summer hols!

I didn't have the ingredients for the chocolate cake so I'll make it at a later date.

I hope everyone's well and I'm pleased to see the blog back to normal this week, I just decided to steer clear last week and over the weekend with all that was being posted.

ART-Louis Armstrong, It's a wonderful world

Love and peace to all MCM xx

Thanks all you guys for the good luck wishes, I've got the lot crossed for this one. will have to uncross on arrival for fear of falling over on entrance!

Good luck with the interview Nicki....

Cheers Penny!

Well now. Renee's bin havin' a whale of a time with the mug cakes. Ergo there's not a mug in the house not full a chocolate cake with an assortment of alarming added flavours, from Bailey's to jam to Fairy Liquid; the riot squad have packed up and gone home, having bin' alerted by the next-door neighbours who thought we had a sniper in the house, when in fact it was just Renee usin' the mug with the gold handles on it, and I'm sat drinkin' me PG Tips outa vase as I speak. Luckily there's handles on both sides and it's big enough to dunk me ginger nuts so all is well; but it tastes a bit of Baby Bio. Poo.

Anyway now she's watchin' this Wally Willy and 'is chocolate factory on Channel 4 and has become inspired to go Mexican. So I'd say there'll be chicken in the next batch.

Cheers CLP. You eejit.

Clodagh.xx

Nicki - Good Luck

Bond - Hope good luck messages helped you yesterday

Oooo The Apprentice is on, I'm off.

Thanks Penny. Only time will tell I'm afraid. But I do really, really appreciate everyones good luck wishes.

uuuurrrrgggghhhh!

I'm more tired tonight then I am when I'm at work.......anyone want a hyperactive toddler for a day - eats anything you put in front of him, loves cars (that's my boy), very enthusiastic about everything..........all the time............

Anyhow off to bed, hen night tomorrow night so I need my beauty sleep.
