Morning 1 and All. Have to say not good at loosing money probably as tight as the preverbial ducks bum, having just used most of ours up building our house. Took a long time, stressed to to hilt, but now we're in, worth every emotional minute.

As they say here 'cut your cloth accordingly' if you aint got it, don't spend it!'

Ooo cricket, it's like watching paint dry but hey ho whatever floats yer boat.

BLYipE

Morning Christophe!

Don't worry about "losing" money on the company you still have shares in...coz as we are often told share values can go up as well as down! And if I remember rightly from yesterday's blog someone did suggest letting one of the many repeat digital channels broadcast TFI and DFYTB - thereby bringing the share value up (that is of course if this is the business to which you were referring to!)

But who in their right mind would buy a football club - fork out a country GDP's to have the honour of paying equally obscene amounts to a bunch of "up their own a*se" prima donnas to play a game twice a week - that most people do for enjoyment on any open space available.

I note no mention of Scotland's near heroics in the Cricket.....however due to my own ignorance of the game I can't remember who they played ;-)

Quack

Morning CLP

Can't and won't comment on football or cricket, cos I no nuffink.
Good luck on the best-manning, does that mean you won't be on drivetime on Monday, surely not!!

........and we love you, too!

Morning Lambie Pies

You gotta lurve the Dutch, ain't ya! Me and Mr Deev went to the Dutch TT (Moto GP) in Assen a few years back - they are bonkers!! There was a Dutch rider called Jurgen Van De Goodbergh and he came lsat in the race - and they went absolutely loopy! The circuit were giving away these huge orange foam hands and the entire circuit was awash with orange fire-cracker smoke, air horn thingys ..... and this guy was LAST!!! Can you image had he scored a podium or woe betide, even won the race!

Fantastic nation!

And having just caught up on the last blog - really!!! I'm getting the blame for "shennanigans" and there's HL and TB talking about battered sausages for lunch.

For now, I'm outta here!

And CLP - no you haven't. But we know you do!!

Good call on the Yog toons for WM too .... can we have a blast of Too Funky later. Pleeeeeez!?!?!

Deevski

Debbie, a huge well done to your son.

Morning CLP.

Scotland did really well. I understand the pre match talk described the corcky ball as an English invention, so they went out there trying to smack it back to Yorkshire - The centre of the Universe.

lol

Having had a busy few days (or has it been weeks?) I've not managed to catch up completely with the previous blogs. So a brief overview of my thoughts:

Big Sympathies for those who have lost things

Big Congrats to those have sorted stuff out

Well dones to those who have achieved things

and empathy for those who have had senior/blonde moments

Quack

5' 7" (but likes to wear 3"+ heels)
Blonde (Very - not in colour though!)
Underweight

CLP - Hadn't heard that about Newcastle yet - got 2 in my household that will be gutted. Guess its not the lovely Gene that you were referring to re the Ashes!

Ads - I saw your post, I was after you.

Don't know what ACAS means though!!!!

Iz it ter do with the union ACAS?????

Acas - Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service.

morning all (again), hope you're well?

Now I love football, probably too much but how can a whole club which is in effect a big one be up for sale for as little as 50m when another team has just bought a single player for 57m?????
This I do not understand???

I don't have a lot of sympathy for Newc the club as they very obviously though they were too big to go down and made massive errore from the top. But I do feel for the fans who have been led a merry dance and for Shearer etc for trying to swim against the tide whilst being watched by the whole world.
I do owever have no time for those players on 50k+ a week who are stating that they're hapy to stay and help get the bar-codes back up
- I just read that as they know no-one else will pay them the silly wages they're on so they'll sit for the remainder of their contract and pick up the geordie dollar!!!!
Cynical? moi? more than likely!

As for losing money, well I love spending it but MrsW is tighter than 2 coats of paint so we manage to tread water each month. Never owned a share or a company so can't comment I'm afraid.

Christophe, get on the case re repear, pleeeeeease - you know you want to, er actually we want you to!

bonnet de douche

KWx

I know nothing about cricket and very little about football so can't get too excited about either if I'm honest.

Now regarding the wrinkles I tried the tight pony tail thing, the wrinkles stayed and my eyes watered!

MizzDarcey, I'm still very much a work in progress....but am better than before. Thanks.

Debbie x

repeats, not repear obviously????

Good Morning Chris,

Don't worry about losing your money - it's YOU we love. I'm pleased you are counting the days to the best-manning on Monday.

Great show last night. I absolutely love Elton John and "Can't Take My Eyes Of You."

Love you,
x.x.x.x.x.

Morning all

Well, decisions have been taken, and plans are to be made. Looks like PiP's life with be very much starting a new chapter. Can't say too much at the moment, other than I'm excited and scared at same time.

Thanks for being you.

PiPx

pip, whatever it is...good luck x

Gonna have to watch A 2 A again on iplayer as too many distractions going on here last night,I did however catch the battered sausage clip,hilarious writing.

Monday nights are not going to be the same.

MTF.xx

ACAS? - Isn't that the agency you apply to, to get into uni/college? Oh no thats UCAS (University and College Application Service).

Oh ACAS - the concillation service! Jeez should have known that straigt away been on many ACAS courses on employment law! (Curse of the blonde strikes again!)

Not as bad as Last week though..... my truck (4x4 - before you get ideas of a blonde in 3" heels getting out of an HGV! having said that - a common sight at the local truck stop - and that's just the drivers:-P) ....sorry.... my truck was in the garage so I borrowed Dad's spare car and was given BOTH sets of keys as " sometimes the central locking activates itself without warning so just in case here's the spare!" Fine no probs.... just don't have both sets in the car unattended....as if!!

So I left the office, threw jacket on the back seat, started the car reversed and remembered I hadn't picked up the post - jumped out, leaving door open and engine running, bounded up the stairs and heard a clunk - No! Surely Not! - but alas yes! The wind had picked up and gusted, closing the car door. Leaping down the stairs I heard the ominious sound of the central locking activating! Both sets of keys safely locked in the car - with the engine running. At 6pm the local garages were closed so it it was down to the 5th emergency service (not 4th don't want to upset the coastguards!) who arrived at 7.30 and within 2 minutes we were in! Unfortunately the petrol guage was flashing and being 8 miles from the nearest garage - Nae chance. Nice Mr 5th Emergency Service did have a wee jerry can - with just enough contents to get to the garage!

Think it's time to dye my hair - I think its called artificial intelligence!

Quack

Pip - ooh sounds exciting, good luck you deserve it as you work so hard.

MTF - yes what are we going to do without our fix of Gene Genie now it has finished. Thought it was a great ending.

Darce x

Dook - classic!! What did your Dad say?

Darce xx

Darce, dont tell me please.

Gonna watch it tomorrow morning hopefully.

MTF.xxx

Ok MTF - enjoy it tomorrow. I missed the first part unfortunately as I was racing home from baby sitting at daughters house.

Darce x

I could hear his eyes rolling heaven ward - whilst the voice in his head shouted " I don't BELIEVE it!", when I had to phone him to phone the 5th Emergency Service as my card with membership no. etc was in my wallet...... in my jacket....... in the car.... which was locked with the engine running!

Ahhh Joy!

Quack

.....you fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness, ease my trouble - thats waht you do...

O the morning sun in all its glory . .

(I could go on . . . )

Sun is out, birds on on twitter and all is right with the world . . .

Have a nice day, everyone . . .

...Christophe...being half Geordie, and even though I only have this much interest in Football...I'm bereft. Bring back Malcolm Macdonald. He had 'thighs' before anyone else! Proberly about the same time Kevin Keegan had a perm.

I only have shares in Badger Enterprises. What's mine is mine, and what's his is mine too. Currently worth about 0.04p.

Bingo...I hope you get my wee jokette now! Bless yer x

Many shennanigans...

Chris,

As they say, what is the fastest way to become a millionaire? Start of as a billionaire and buy a football club.
Are NUFC, a Huge Club, a Sleeping Giant or just a rubbish team, personally I reckon relegation was the Universe punishing them for not having the guts to sack Joey Barton, and take the associated financial hit.

Let's not get too excited about the Aussies getting beat, as any resemblance between Twenty20 and test cricket is entirely coincidental. Plus the Aussies are now well hacked off and up for the Ashes.

Re Mr Brown, the main winners in the whole sorry debacle seem to be the BNP, a worrying thought.

shirley - hear hear

Dooks - good job he loves you!!

DtM - that was lovely, have got that going round in my head now sung in a lovely Irish accent.....


Darce x

Morning all,

Chris, frankly I would just like to have some money to be able to lose it! I have no sympathy for teams like Newcastle, Leeds and the like that spend and spend to chase the Holy Grail, only to fail. Footballers are paid very well and so often fail to deliver value for money for the hard working supporters who struggle to pay for the match day ticket. When these companies do go bust (Southampton for example) it is the small companies that suffer who have been trading on good faith only to be shafted! Rant over.

As for your company, will the shares ever go back up? If not you still have your great job, health and family what more do you need? ;-))

20/20 cricket is by far the most exciting version of the modern game. Good on the Nederlands for beating us English. I have to say though that my good lady (a Dublin lass) was rather surprised when I informed her of Irelands win yesterday. Sport is just full of surprises. ;-)) The Ashes will be whipped up into a frenzy by the media and then struggle to live up to the hype, in my opinion. ;-)

Keep smiling

P.S. Congrats to your teen Debbie xx

CLP - I also know nothing about footy or crwiket - but it is nice to be loved thanks! Right back at you!!! MWAH!

Debbie - nice to see you popping in more regularly today! Well done on teen passing tests.

MTF - eye eye!

Dooks - I have been dying my hair blonde since my original blonde hair turned mouse when I hit 16 - it costs me a fortune to look this dumb! That way I can surprise people with my genius!

PS TB and Hazel - have a nice lunch - we want a full run down later!

Can't be doooin with footie - load of overpaid wimps.

We love you too CLP xx

Pip !! 'citing - wossappening?? Spill !

Debs2 - out of the entire family - only 2 of us have Blonde hair me and a cousin. My brother was White Blonde as a kid but now a dark mouse, Cousin admitted that since late 20's hers is Bottle Blonde. So it appears that at 31 I'm doing well - mostly natural helping hand during winter months curtesey of artifical sprayed sun, but when the sun proper comes out leave it to nature and yep all hint of intellegence leaves the room! Am blaming the mini heatwave the other weekend for previously mentioned "blonde moment" as hair went 2 shades lighter in 3 days!

but hey I'm not complaining - it is grrrrreat when the intellegence sneaks passed the blonde police and I astound everyone with my knowledge!

Quack

It's me!

I don't really like cricket but years ago I went out with a fella who played for a North London side (Winchmore Hill, I think) and his bro played for Glamorgan.

Thing 1 - Glam got into the semi's of the Benson and Hedges that year. We went all the way to Mumbles to watch and it rained incessantly. My boss at the time gave me the day off on the condition that I took a company golfing brolly with me as it was telivised and he said it was "good, free publicity" !!

Thing 2 - on the plus side, sitting on the boundary with all his mates on a summer Sunday afternoon quaffing Pimms absolutely rocked!!

Pip, Tins ..... 'citing!!!

In order of my favourites, favourite on first, these are the BIG favourites that a think are gonna do well in the next 'Bull Market'.......

1 - AUTONNOMY CORPORATION (Computer software dudes, geeks running the world's #1 computer database that iz being used by ALL BIG companies everywhere)

2 - KENTZ - (Oil Industry/ Recovery/ Producer Supplies Firm - It supplies the oil industry arooound the world with tools ter suck oil outta the ground without spilling alot)

3 - 'ERITAGE OIL - (Oil Recovery - Good news terdee and looooks like it could join the FTSE 100 VERY soon)

4 - WORKSPACE - (Involved in property for working aka commercial property mainly in the UK - Directors been buying - shares were 150 odd last year know, sorry now 16p - looks good and like gnna recover)

5 - BANGO (reported it's results terdee with a BANG - plus a like the name - reminds me of a CLP blogger!!@!) (Noot that am saying a like meself - noot that ave goot low self esteem - noot that ave goot too much self esteem)

5a - Just threw BANGO in for obvious reasons - Does loook good though ter invest!!!!

6 - RBS (A bank!!!! 'oards money then blows it all. Although risky.... a think in the long term it's gotta good chance of coming good. Could be a big winner - BUT is abit risky!!!!!!)

7 - COMPUTERCENTRE - (Clues in the name - directors been buying - recently announced good results - charts are saying 'BUY' - lookin good ter go.... UP!!)

8 - Keeping this one ter mesen!!!!

9 - SDL - (Anoother computer software dude - mainly in language programmes - doing very well but share price sticky/ stagnant - Only yesterdee announced contract with 'aych pee' aka 'ewelett Pakard'!!!!)

10 - If yer 100% don't wanter risk yer money don't invest!!!!!

Okay there's a quick TOP10 run down!!!!!!

The two that really excite me are Autonomy and Kentz!!!!!!
Mind you 'eritage Oil loooks 'ot too.... maybe abit more risky!!!!!!
Nahhhhhh Autonomy iz the MEGA one of the bunch!!!!!!!

Wonder how the Hazel/Tango meet went?

Good morrow JTT!

Well, I've been Tangoed, and Baz has been loved...so there you go. He had a pint, I had a wayte wayne and sayda, and a ciabatta with way too much stuff in it.

We had a lovely time thank you, and will probably repeat the sperieance when the weather is a lot nicer. As it's a bit grim darn sarf atm.

Anyhoo, living in my fair city, the chances of hitting a 5yr old smoking a sweet cigarette are fairly slim. On the other hand hitting a smoking homosexual who knows a sweet 5yr old, chances fairly high...We have two laydee friends who have a child (who has two mummies, who love eachother and child is about as well balanced as a gyroscope, but it's a bit different being brought up with it than being taught about something)...but Bingo, I have to agree mate! My 'generation' (not that long ago, so don't get too excited) didn't find out about any sort of 'sexuality' until we were about 13.

for crying out loud...pc gone BONKERS

Hi everyone:

Back to work for me today, after my long weekend in sunny Oban - and man, it was sunny! Sorry to all my English cousins who had terrible weather over the weekend - for once, the place to be was Scotland - isn't that right, Annie?!

Haven't had time to read the blog - hope everyone is ok.

I know it's a hundred years ago now, but I was very taken aback that the lovely Alan picked Yasmina on Sunday! As much as I did not like Kate, her presentation and product was streets ahead of Yasmina's, IMHO! Methinks we'll be hearing that Kate has a much better job at Sugar Towers than the one Yasmina is getting .... something to do with advertising boards?!
And no Margaret next year .... arrggh!
Sorry, enough about the Apprentice, I know!

Hazel: glad to hear you had a pleasant lunch with Mr Tango!

Hi all...Bondy, Sparkle, Lyndyloo and of course the Haze.

Nice Brighton meet I must say!!! as she knows where I live now....LOL

Like your comments Haze, funny...but true.

You hangin' in there Bondy??

peesse Mr TangoBaz did wear a carnation. Albeit yellow and drawn on a piece of paper, but it was there all the same. Knew I meant to mention sunnink else...

Hi Chrissie Pleased you had a good time.
You too Hazel and Baz. Nice touch with the flower !!!

Hi James xx

Now don't tell Jovial - Imelda Marcos indeed !! but I still can't find the skirt I am looking for so - two tops, one blouse, and now 5 pairs of shoes, 2 black 1 bronze 1 pink and 1 red.
(elh ordered for the old gits too)!

And a pile of work done too - phew !!

Hey Tango! Glad to hear you were gentle with our Hazey-baby (she's not been well ya know!)... -x-x-x-

Hazel/Tango - glad you had a good mini meet - liked the paper carnation bit!

Sounds like you had a great weekend Chrissie - you definately got the best weather. And Annie's too.

Hi James - hows it going? x

Imelda Beez - have you stopped yet!!! Good to see you're keeping the economy going!

Hi Lindy. How are you today.....

Hi Baz, yes thanks. Doing what I can. Thanks for asking. How's it with you?

Hi Darce. Fine thanks. Hope you're well.

Hi Beez..... how are you today?

Great tunes on Steve Wright.....

Afternoon..

Beez.. are they as red as mine is the question? is it red shoes compulsory in Brum?!

Debs - well done to the teen and great to see you.. x

Cricket - dont get it, used to annoy my granddad by asking half way through who was winning - still none the wiser as to why he used to look at me gone out!

AF - you and GM were prob made for each other - instead he got me..but he`s teaching me to be tidy! Hope u feeling better today.

MW and Deevs - great photos.. very jealous!

Can keep going but wont...will be longer than one fo Bingos great missives!

But good to see JTT back -youve been missed!

Oh, and PiP -great news - chuffed for u!

Really must get on..hi to all else as usual!

PS - A2A - brilliant!

Just a thought on the blonde bit though...been grey since very early twenties.. always had dyed hair (altho currently borrowing HL badger for the stripe down the middle)...and i swear i get treated differently when blonde as opposed to brunette as now! Or maybe thats just me being my usual dippy self...*walks off in search of self-enlightenment...*

Hi Scoobs.......

Hey Bondy...chin up over there?

mSc x

Hi all

Been mad mad busy here again all day, so can't stop!! Will try to get back on later from home.

Beez - single-handed refloating the economy eh? Good on you!

Hi Bondy, glad to hear you're OK

PiP - what? Tell me!! Happy for you anyway!!

Also glad HL & TB had a good lunch meet

Must get on, so hi to everyone else I've missed!

JG x

Hi Scoobs, I'm trying.....

Hi JG, thanks......

Is it Humpday yet?? This arvo has draaagggged.

Hi Scoob, Darce and JG...home made paper carnations are the way forward you know??

Beez...you won the lotto?

:-)

TB - `im working 6 days straight this wk so humpday feels about 6 weeks away right now!

As for the homemade carnation - genius! GM and i met on a well known dating site and was worried bout how to know it was him first time we met.... he was holding a red rose.. cheesy i know but it worked for me!

And not for one minute suggesting its the same..what would the badger and mrs tb say...?! Glad you had a nice lunch tho..

and Bondy..if you need to borrow a chin to keep up then plese yell - i have several to spare!

..Scoob, wotcha mate! I'd not seen my lovely friend for AGes...the one who I met last week...I said I'd be carrying a rose (cream...very tasteful) and she gave me a spoon. A plastic spoon.

...and Badger is just glad I had some lunch and he doesn't have to cook tonight (insert Badgery sigh of relief here)...he can take his hair shirt to the launderette instead...life's SO hard being a Badger...with regard to self enlightenment, I find Born Blonde works well...(see woddidid there...)

Bondy, downstate East Sussex is grim today...hope you're doing ok...all these good wishes from this side of the pond must be doing some good surely???

I met my other half that way too. Didn't do the flower thing for first meeting but awhile back I booked a surprise trip to Paris on Eurostar for his birthday and told him to meet me after work at Waterloo station under the clock like they do in films. He wasn't there when I got there and I'd left my mobile at home so couldn't contact him. I was panicking that we would miss the train cos obviously he just thought we were going out for a meal or something. Eventually found him with a carnation in his hand and he had been waiting on the platform where he thought my train was coming in. Wrong platform as well!

Hi everyone

Sorry I haven't been around, after returning from the UK we've been without t'internet which has been so annoying.

But we did have a very nice little jaunt to Turin, on to Lake Garda up to Zurich and home again all in aid of Mr MAW 5oth Burpday which was seriously fantastic.

I haven't had a chance to catch up much, but hope all is well in blogland and a big thankyou to all that have welcomed me on to fb.

Please be patient with me as I'm new to it all

Hi to all that I haven't met yet.

MAWx

Welcome back Nick - hope you had a good time.
