May the four day week be with you.

Chris Evans | 09:54 UK time, Monday, 4 May 2009

Hope the bank holiday went swell, by the way I am loving Britan's Got Talent nowadays, a very clever well produced show that had us all in bits on Saturday night.

So here's the thing...

... Tash and I had our first monthly game of golf against our arch enemies yesterday.

We play for the annual Enzo trophy against two very competitive blokes - one very good - Matt an ex pro with a beautiful swing and one not so good - Marky Mark the driver with one of the worst swings you've ever seen - thinks he's far better than he is and often blames Matt if they lose - a logic I have never quite got my head round.

Tash and I are current holders of the trophy but Tash hasn't swung a club in anger for months but yesterday thanks to the willingness of her sis Mand to take Noah for a few hours this was once again possible, however none of this is the thing. The thing is...

...how come is it that now we are busier than ever I somehow found time to clean our clubs yesterday morning - something I have not done since I was a boy ?

Life just keeps getting stranger.

Oh did we win ?

Have a guess...

CLP.

    Hey there Lambie Pies!

    I've never "got" golf but have had many happy half cut hours poodling round a crazy-golf dooh-dah at the seaside!

    Note: "half cut" is a pre-requisite for crazy goflf my opinion.

    Off to fiddle with this fm tuner thingy then get mnails done.

    Back in a bit.

    Oo err, was everyone on holibobs yesterday? Only one comment!!! Glad you enjoyed the golf C & T fraid to say, not been on the course in years - got soo frustrated twas detremental to my health.

    Just collected shug the dug from the 'poodle parlour' - he's now very clean and shiny and smells 'manly' now. Only downside is that he's just in from a walk is soaking wet and has rolled in something disgusting oh well at least he WAS clean.

    Getting ready to move the chooks tonight, they have been in high rise accomodation for a few weeks (stayed in a friends treehouse, complete wth ramp) while we moved into our new pad, now theirs is ready so it's their turn to move.

    Any body needing eggs????

    Going to have a bucket load any day now.

    hmmm! I also think a Yes you did.

    Strange how "grudge" matches make you do things out of the ordinary! One could surmise that you cleaned Tash's clubs out of luuuuuurve but also to give her the best possible chance of a good game, it naturally follows that you would then clean your own to provide adequate support in case her game is still off following her enforced down-time.

    When I was in a tenpin bowling league, my balls only got real close cleaning and polishing attention when we were about to play my brothers wife's team, 'cos that was our "grudge" match in the nicest possible way. For any other game of the season it was a quick spit and polish, when playing the "out laws" it was a full on sand down, polish up and full on shine. Thereby ensuring that the only item that could be to blame was the squidgy bloke that was holding the ball prior to it's release, i.e. me!

    Nice to see you remembering Enzo in some tangible way!

    I would say, yes, of course!

    AND, it's because you get up a lot earlier so you have far more hours in the day.

    Hi CLP and everyone

    Mr JG bought me some golf clubs for Christmas and is supposed to be teaching me to play, but we've only made it to the driving range 4 times so far, due to me having an injured achilles, him hurting his back, and the freezing weather earlier in the year, when it was so cold, it was impossible to grip the clubs properly.

    We're supposed to be going once a week (minimum) now, but we've already failed miserably last week due to my cold/hayfever, and this week will be tough due to the footie and his shifts! Back to square one again!

    It's like winter again here in Manchester today, raining on and off and blowing a gale, I'm almost glad I'm in the office.

    Nicki, hope your first day has gone OK, first days are always strange aren't they?

    Oh, and texted in a post last night, which took me ages, hit the post button and it disappeared into the ether, never to be found again. I just couldn't face trying again!

    JG x

  • Comment number 8.

    Cleaning the clubs - were you trying to put off playing the boring game???

    Well done anyway! Bet you won - and I hope and Tash you did a little victory dance!

  • Comment number 9.

    Afternoon Chris,

    I think I might take up golf when I retire, which is at least 25 years away. But the game does appeal to me and I like a good walk. I hope you won, which I am sure you did.

    Is it home time yet, I am shattered!

    JG - I've been to the driving range - it's fun isn't it? Very good way of getting out aggression too!! Its just the walking round on a golf course looking for lost balls that I can't face ... and I'm sure from my efforts on the driving range that most of them would indeed be lost!!!

  • Comment number 11.






    Christophle, I'm sure hellenbach is correct...in the years BN (before Noah) you'd have stayed abed for a wee lie in I reckon...then it would have been a ruddy blush to get the clubs into the car, let alone cleaned...

    ...golf...said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again...is a good walk, spoilt...and I can never do the windmill...and my swinging is mainly pants...

    yes you did

    Hi Chris et al

    Yes...of course you won!

    Hope you all had a great bank holybobs weekend. Ours was soooooo busy, don't know where the time went. Was hard work getting out of bed before 9a.m. this morning to get into work!

    Well done Deev on getting the gizmo working. after the tender doc you need a result! Talking of which, we REDS will be in teeth biting mode tonight! May the best team win. How was your Bridget Jones weekend (soz, haven't had time to catch up on blogging)?

    Hi Chris,

    Glad you managed a game of golf. Yes of course you won!

    I think you cleaned your clubs because you've justed finished your book and now you have lots of energy that you don't know what to do with! Congratulations on finishing your book. It must be a wonderful feeling.

    Hi Steffi

    I had a wondeful weekend, thank you for asking. Very chilled. Only doing what I wanted to do. When I wanted to do it. Nobody tutting at my tippy-tapping on the laptop, nobody tutting when I decided to boogie round the kitchen to some naff disco toons and nobody tutting when I wanted to read into the wee small hours. Although Sootycat can give good "evils" when she wants!

    Bliss!

    Rounded off with an extra Cheeky Chewsday off today ...... which will be topped if Arsenal win tonight. But I won't hold my breath - just a box of tissues to mop up my tears of despair!

    Morning, afternoon from another overcast day in upstate NY. looks like rain but at least the temps are going to be in the 60s. Hope you all have a great long weekend. Enjoy the short week.


  • Comment number 18.

    Hi Tins - Yes, it's really satisfying taking out your frustrations on 100 defenseless golf balls! I just wish we could get there more often.

    BTW CLP, forgot to say, I'm sure you won!

    Hi Bondy, dreadful weather here in Manchester today, but had a good weekend thanks.

    Sorry bit busy here doing the end of April figures as I wasn't here on Friday...

    Hey Guys,

    Just thought I'd let you all know, particularly lovely Susan who often leaves me messages of kindness and support on my facebook page, that I believe I have been offered a new job to start in June. So today, as my gardening leave comes to an end, I can relax and enjoy the coming few weeks as holiday before I start my new job.

    On the less nice side, am having breathing problems which my quck believes may be Athsma, so have been given temporary inhalers and we'll see how we go on.

    Still, am feeling blessed in the grand scheme of things and hope i can pass some of my good luck on to you guys.

    Thanks to all of you for your support and kind words over the last five weeks. It has helped me to see the positives where othewise i mgiht have failed.

    I haven't put this on my facebook as I don't want my former colleagues in on the secret until every last thing has been formalised.

    God bless and best wishes to you all, especially those that are still looking for work in these dreadful times.

    JTL (again!!)

    I really am loosing the will to live this afternoon! I just want to go home and sleep, I wonder if could have anything to do with my a*** of a neighbour who thinks that it's big and clever to come home very drunk, with his mates and then proceed to play thumping music until the early hours. Which I could hear through ear plugs and my head sandwiched between two pillows!!

    There are times when I wish I was a big burley man, then I would have gone down stairs to his flat and given him a piece of my mind. Instead I felt very intimidated and a little bit scared. He knew exactly what he was doing, yet still carried on doing it!!! I really am getting to the end of my tether with him, next time I might just call the Police and let them deal with him.

    Still I've only got a little while to go before I can go home....Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnn :0

    In his absence, I must thank Tobes for igniting my disco detectors. I was singing so loud to Boogie Oogie Oogie the cat came down to the kitchen to invstigate!

  • Comment number 34.

    Thanks Deev,

    I would love to do that, but he is the type of bloke that wouldn't take any notice and the next time he comes home drunk he would just crank it up some more.

    I did slam a door last night, to let him know I could hear him and all he did was make a noise like a claxon and I could hear him and his mates laughing - not nice.

    I wouldn't mind, but I worked in the same office as him for three years, so it's not like he doesn't know who I am (sorry about the poor English!)

    Anyway mustn't dwell on it or else I might do something I will regret :)

    I would call the police next time and if it continues get in touch with your council who can give you some equipment to record the noise levels and if its classed as too high then they can be prosecuted.

    Nick.

    I can just see you standing in front of the dragons demonstrating the use of the screen wipes, but first you should do your ickle ditty to relax them.

    Because my working life involves talking to and being interested in people all day long - to have a week when i dont need to is HEAVEN - discovered this 10 years ago and been going every year since....

    Welcome back from hectic weekends all other regulars - we had a bit of a disco weekend theme going on - but we lost Tobe on friday night - last seen dancing around his handbag with Beez......

    Well, back from a fab weekend in the smoke, blimey that London is big; I lived there a year but it gets me every time.

    Walked for miles on Saturday in very unsuitable flimsy sandals. Still suffering. Had lunch at Speakers Corner, sadly no-one was speaking! I did wonder if I should say a few words but Boleynman restrained me.

    Went to Liberty for flowergirl fabric. WHAT A SHOP!!!!! I love it. Sales girl asked nonchalently "Do you want a bag today?", had to stop meself yelling "I've come 80 miles for this, OF COURSE I WANT A BLIMMIN BAG! AND A HUGE ONE AN ALL IF YOU PLEASE!"

    Chicago brill, London fab. Henry VIII exhib awesome, but here is a warning, do not go unless you are very, very interested in Henry VIII. Which I am. Lots and lots of original documents, books and artefacts.

    Yes, the council. Noise pollution comes under Environmental Health. They will ask you to keep a diary of occurrences - frequency, time of day/night, type of noise.

    Those years in Local Government weren't wasted on me!

    I've just poured myself a large glass of red. Sorry gang. It just had to be done. It's to steady my nerves before the game tonight, see .......

    And to christen my new wine glass, of course.

    Had to leave the kitchen for a bit. Donna Summer moaning and groaning out there. Last time i heard moans and groans like that was .......

    Boleyngirl - I ALWAYS go int Liberty at Christmas - their Christmas shop is amazing. But don't go in unless you have lotsa money coz it ain't like Woollies (well, it's still open for one thing!)

    Same applies to Selfridges.

    In fact, any West End HOOOOOG dept store that sells shiny spangley pretty thins that cost a lot and give you a bag is good in my books!

    Even the one beginning with H in Knightsbridge.

    I'm all 'cited now!

    Thanks everyone for your advice - I will certainly look into it. I just feel quite intimidated, so am a little scared that if I did report him, he would just do it more or worse. There is a big(ish) bloke that lives next door to me, but he is not always there, I might knock on his door and see if he can help.

    A friend and I were planning a military-styleeee assault on Pr1mark for cheap holiday clothes and then lunch at The Ivy to recover.

    I had this idea to get the HUGE Selfridges bag out of the loft (contains crimmy decs) and take it with me to put my Pr1mark purchases in, prior to stepping over the threshold at The Ivy.

    Sadly, Ivy was fully booked so plans duly amended!

    Spent ages catching up with all the bank holiday blogging - loved Pips page at a time updates!

    Congratulations on the baby LyndyLoo - great news!!

    Also congratulations to JTL on the job - well done you.

    Ali - I would call the police each time it happens unless you can talk to him when he's sober and might be a bit more reasonable? Doesn't sound like it though.

    CLP - is that really you blogging amongst us?? Like Boleyn I would love to think so but is it really?/

    Re: Tinned Tomatoes

    I like pure tomatoey tinned tomatoes. I get in a bit of a hissy-fit when I get faced with tinned tomatoes with ... herbs / garlic / basil etc etc.

    I can add my own add-ons. I just want tomatoes!!!!

    Phew! more wound up about the footie than I thought!

    CONGRATULATIONS Lyndyloo - fab news!

    And well done JTL, all looks bright!

    AliB - agree with the rest of this lovely lot - next time he does it call the police, don't put up with it.

    I'm feeling shattered today, what with quick trip up norf and days out, think I may treat meself to glass of red and do nothing before early bed (after the boy is asleep of course).........only 3 more sleeps before a lie-in

    Me nerves are shredded. 2 hours til kick off.

    As I'm going to be on my own for the duration of the match, if anyone would like to metaphorically hold my hand to see me through, I will have FB open for the duration.

    Scared? Me?

    YES!!!!!


    btw: Bingo's in a bit of a situation which I'll let him tell you about, but he sez "Hi" to y'all!

    Hi folks

    Did an early dart from the office today, as I'm sure these antihistamines are making me drowsy (that and having the dawn chorus wake me up at 4.30 this morning)! Took a short lunch and escaped into the rain...yuk!

    About to order pizza for tea, in honour of the footie, and have just poured a glass of white, so all feels better with the world already!

    Mr JG having some PS3 time, as he also got home early. I'm thinking of converting the box room into a play-room for him, as he's just ordered a full size car seat thing,on a stand with pedals, gears and steering wheel, which will never fit in the lounge, big bl**dy kid! At least his mate's making it, so it's cheap.

    Lyndyloo - what brilliant news, congratulations!!

    JTL - well done!

    Ali - I think the police first, rather than confront him, and the council after if the police do nothing. Is anyone else affected, who could also start complaining?

    Back after teas ordered

    Deev - I don't think so, mine wouldn't know what to do with an allotment if it jumped up and bit him on the a*se! lol

    Debs - at least I'd get the telly to myself, or could put the radio on (making a mental note to work out how to put the radio on the phone).

    But I've just suggested it, and he's now planning a 42 inch plasma screen, and surround sound....so I'd better keep quiet!
