Need to chillax but don't have the time

Chris Evans | 14:25 UK time, Wednesday, 19 August 2009

What are deadlines for, if not stealing your days. Whose law is it again that says...

Tasks will always take as long as the time allotted for them to take? Was it Johnson or Brown or Parkinson - by the way what is he up to nowadays ?

My car is a mess, my car is never a mess. It's book photo time. W-iiiiii-llllll from TFI popped in last night with a whole folder of absolute belters. Thanks pal.

So I deliver 'em to the publishers today - print deadline Friday and ask.....

" Is that it ?" Like Bob Geldof - only not as saintly - more like a schoolboy having proudly finished his homework, and they say:

"No, now we need to come up with all the captions for each one, and then there's the dedication at the start, and la la la la..." And off we go again.

I am sitting in the car outside the publishers now. I am looking at an energy drink on the seat next to me. Either that or it's looking at me.

    Big Cheif CLP

    Sure, look on the Bright side, and it is a bright side - the weather youre having over there looks beautiful . . .

    Just returned from a brief 4-day sojourn & chillax in Eastern Mallorca with LovesYoungDream, back to the rain of Belfast City (where the girls are so pretty . . . )

    I'm really surprised at your need to "wings" by the way - I thought you were better than that . . . !!!!!!!

    Hey CLP and bloggers

    Just returned from our now annual (only second time!) camping sojourn. Up on west coast highlands, and it was fantastic. Weather very very mixed, some days on the beach and in the sea, one day constant rain, so dinner under canvas and lots of card games, and one night severe weather warning given out! all new arrivals at campsite turned away and we were on survival tactics, baton all the hatches - or at least the tent pegs - and felt like we were about to blow away. Teenanger daughter said it was like Wizard of Oz...we thought more like arctic circle camping, just like you see on documentaries on TV, noise was fantastic! But a fabulous week. And now back to the year of 2009....

    Looking forward to the book Chris.

    Hope all bloggers well and happy, not got time to catch up.

    My advice?

    Save it til after the show when you get home and stick a double vodka in it! And ice. Lots and lots of ice!

    Enjoy.

    See you at 17.05 Hrs.

    Ah Christoff step away from the Red Bull. Keep yer hands where we can see 'em...

    If yous saw what Red Bull does to suede shoes, you'd wonder what it does to your stomach.

    And if yous saw what 3 of 'em plus a Slimfast every morning does to my dear mad friend Maggie, yous'd KNOW what it does to your brain.

    Last time Maggie fuelled up with the Red Bull she had the place in uproar with her spectacular impression of a stampede in a farmyard and I had to stun 'er with the tent mallet and feed her triple Americanos.

    Yous can laff. This is the woman with the caffeine-impregnated slimmin' tights and the P.Diddy pants with no drawstring. It's not funny.

    Aww, don't talk to me about deadlines CLP, have been stressing all week!

    Just taking a quick break, cos I'm absolutely sweltering here - the air-con is still not fixed, and our windows only open a fraction (bloody health n safety)!

    Thanks for all the info and good wishes for my hols, I'll definately give you a wave KW! I read that awful story too, just so sad. You do an excellent job!

    Darce, what a scare, glad everything is OK now for you all and the little one.

    Clodagh, hope you have a great disaster-free time.

    Back soon, have an unexpected visitor...grrr!!

    And I know what you mean re. deadlines.

    No matter how long I have to prepare for a trip, I'll be beltin' round like a wildebeest at the last minute. With Renee thrustin' prescriptions or the Parish Magazine or a fork-full a spam fritter under me nose.

    I can't really concentrate unless I'm under a certain amount of pressure. It's the same when I have an occasion to go to. I take my hat off to all you girls who buy your wedding outfit a year in advance. I'd be bored rigid with the thought of it if I ha it hangin' there for longer than a week. Ergo I usually give myself plenty time to get ready and then decide what to throw on at the last minute. By which time I've clocked meself, thought "Ew, you look like a bag a s***e in that," thrown something else on, and so on until the contents of me wardrobe are on me bed and I finish up in the outfit I put on first. Only now I'm all sweaty and me hair is like Phyllis Diller.

    Familiar, anyone?

    No, No, No, Clodagh...can't believe that for a moment. Does sound familiar though. I' ve never got a single thing to wear!!! Well, not new this minute anyhow.

    As for 'wings' Don't do it Chris - you will live to regret it. Grab yourself a 'narner (other long yellow fruits available - I think) for an energy boost. Much better for you.

    Aw Deev. Sweet.

    Mad. But sweet bless yous. Trust me after changin' the clobber 15 times in a mad rage I look like Robert Smith in a frock.

    And as for the Wings. Was it Jo Brand who said, after watchin' that advert for Always pads, that she had incontravenable proof that women are stronger than men. Says she, "I've yet to meet the man who will put anything with wings down his pants."

    Top bird. LOVE Jo Brand. Have a bit of a girl-crush on her in fact. Oh yes.

    A recognise that can.... it's the lighter blue version which iz lower calorie than the darker blue version of The Red!!!!
    A rarely drink the red butta tried some the other dee in the Big Smoke.... maybe this iz anooother influence CLP iz 'aving on me az there's been alotta The Red on yer shoe, sorry show, lately!!!!
    And a INDEED went for the VERY same low calorie light blue version!!!!
    A tell yer a waz on 'eat all that night.... stronger than the lucozade if yer as me!!!!!

    Terdee ave been busy fitting me mother's toilet seat that a bought on a dee out with 'er ter Southport a few weeks back!!!!
    Basically she wanted ter go ter Blackpool but 'er free pass doesn't go that far... so we settled for Southport.... RIGHT at the limits of 'er OAP pass area!!!!
    Sometimes it's good ter live dangerously!!!!!
    Any way whilst there a spotted a Dunelm Mill that ave been so impressed with ave bought shares in the company!!! It's going places... and we were.... where yer may ask..... ave just damn said... Dunelm Mill Southport!!!!
    A wanter ter show 'er what it's all about The Mill store and that am part owner of.... be it VERY small!!!! So a toook 'er in, 'er first time in one!!!!
    Any way whilst loooking around we spotted a pine toilet seat on special offer.... only 8 sheets and then able ter do az many sh...... shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Az we want!!!!! BARGAIN!!!!!
    So we went 'ome on the train noot with a sticka rock az a souvenier..... but a toilet seat!!!!!!
    Finally terdee ave fitted it for 'er..... VERY easy all!!!!!
    First a 'ad ter adjust me screws so that they're on the correeect setting, so all drops cleanly inter the abiss of lifes unwanted assets!!!!
    Then me screws dropped inter the 'ole of the pan, very easily, very...... easily and then a tightened up me nuts until all waz fully secure for operational useage!!!!!!
    Last thing iz a want when am on a liason in London with The 'S' iz a phone call from me mum that 'er pine seat 'as slipped and she's wedged in the Armitage Shank and INDEED too embarressed ter call the Fire Brigade!!!!!
    I'd ave ter rush back north with me WD40, rubber gloves and toilet duck - know what am sayin'!!!!!!

    Oh Bingo, no powers here , just a muddled up memory. I thought i read that you hadn't got the job. I'm sure reverse persycology will work & if I say you didn't you will. Very sorry.

    JG think the idea of getting shopping delivered to holibobs is brill but if it was me, I would order a load of stuff then decide I wanted something I hadn't got each day. Maybe you could just order essentials like tea coffee milk cereal (unless you're like my lot & like a lazy breakfast on holibobs) doggy food. I bet you'll find nice places to pick stuff up when you're out & about & don't forget the chance of being taken out for the odd meal or tow.

    Clodagh - have fun, whereever you end up! Is this all a ruse & you're really off to AUSTRALIA?

    Seza x

  • Comment number 36.

    Seza, have ordered all but the bare essentials, cos not being delivered until Sun 11 - 1pm! Will need to take them down with us, but have ordered some BBQ stuff, dog food, will only take 6 tins with us, and he has one a day, well once he's settled he will, won't eat at first!

    Mr JG's b/day too, so will have to cart down food/drink for a nice evening when we get there!

    And only 50yds from a pub serving food, but will have to leave going there til Finlay knows we are stopping for a while! He gets insecure very easily!

    We put it down to him being from a rescue home, and he still looks for his old family (kids), and gets worried if we leave him in a strange place!

    Shopping again tomorrow for some clothes and something for Mr JG to open, looking like choccies at the moment, unless he spots something tomorrow!

    Have you got your laptop sorted?

    Ey DD hahahaha, if it doesn't it'll be Instant ruddy Karma for somebody.

    Anyway. Plan B is in action. Norman Wisdom's plan was to re-book the tickets and go from Manchester; but me gander's up now and I'm not to be trifled with. Ergo am takin' a smaller, scaldier bag and not takin' anything I'll be distraught to be parted from. And am tellin' meself it's goin' on its Gap Year round the world via Bangkok. Meanwhile I shall have mad hair and a sort of crushed look, and will smell like a pound a turbot come Sunday.

    And you know what. I feel liberated. At last I have an excuse to look like Swampy and not give a rat's whatsit. Anyway get me. Who in their right mind do I think is lookin' at ME. Nobody, that's who. Hurrah.

    So. Bring it on. Next.

    Mind you I have to say I think this is a personal best that a calamity has befallen' 'imself before 'e's even left the house...

    Thanks Darce and AuntieSandy for the nice honeymoon wishes - we're going on a mammoth road trip, not your conventional honeymoon (well it is almost a year late!). Starting in Vegas, doing a tour of some of the national parks, and then to Washington DC via Santa Fe, New Orleans and all sorts. 4000 miles is the rough estimate. Eek!

    Clodagh, sooo, a new pb set already hey , why am i not surprised. My suitcase got lost last year and it was the most miserable time i have ever had . Stuck in Miami on a saturday in a grubby t shirt and jeans, and Mr Mc's flip flops, that were waytoo big. 90 degrees and sweating like a dont know what , everyone else dressed in skimpys and me lugging around like an overdressed tramp. had to go and buy some stuff but was so fed up couldnt even muster the will to shop.My suitcase eventually landed from NYC on the Monday morning , as i opened it, i kept hugging all my stuff , never been so pleased to see me toothbrush and knickers in me life .
    So now i go wearing everything i own, ger a few funny looks but not taking any chances. !!

    JG, Crimbo family crisis hey , been there done that and got struck out the will !

    Hope our travel plans run slightly smoother than Mz Rubbish'!!!

    JG - Great news regarding the festive season which dare not speak its name. We are totally selfish...strictly the four of us on the big day (we see little enough of each other during the year) and then a big family do at Ripley towers the following day....well, until one of my very many siblings offers to host it, anyhoo.

    So - Three cheers to Mr JG...Good man!

    Bingers, old boy! Good news I hope....fingers crossed, as ever!

    I thought they'd gone. All paid up and thanks for brilliant job - thanks for being nice customers.
    Kitchen all sparky clean (well it is now I've cleaned the smeary, supposed to have been washed off sugar soap off everything!!!!) New clean wallpaper (bit spensive but I liked it!!)
    BUT NO - just a couple of things they need to come back and check on Friday! Told you they'd moved in didn't I????

    Clodagh - giss your case - by the time you get there I will have safely driven it to spanner - swiftly followed by a long drive/boat trip to greece to baby sit for Rips!!!!

    JG good for Mr JG bless 'im- I've had to suffer the outlaws since I got married - go there - I cook - come here - I cook !!! May just shock them all this year and flit off somewhere - on my own!!!

    That would be me out of the will too MC!!!!

    Wow Dragon - that's some honeymoon drive! Hope you both enjoy.

    Trouble is, they all know where my Mum lives! So if I go, and that is where I'd go, they would all follow me!

    But no, Mr JG has done me proud, and I'm actually very impressed, as his mum is a formidable woman, not in Renee's league though, although I think they might be related!

    She's no match for me though, which is why I've been banned from calling her now!

  • Comment number 63.

    Well, that's me. Thanks for all your good vibes chaps and chapesses.

    And Rips. Have a blast. Am certain you will; we can trade holiday snaps if I ever get back. you can show us your white bits and I'll show yous me ankle-tag and lash marks.

    And to a certain young lady with a big day this weekend; have a fabulous day won't you, we'll all be doin' our sun-dance for you, I'm sure.

    Have just had a text pic from the GD, a big close-up of her big pouty lips sayin "Mwah". Now that reminds me, I need to unblock that U-bend before I go.

    Ok comin' ready or not.

    Evening all - just had to jump in on the festive season catering debate.
    My in-laws have come to me every Christmas since 1982. Bearing in mind that I have been divorced from their son since 1989 ...... I reckon that's a bit unusual!

    What is weirder is that he lives in the same village, about three streets from me, and they still come to me for lunch then go round to his for half an hour before they go home. They also come to me on their birthdays, mothers and fathers day, easter .....

    Should I be flattered?

    Hi All,

    I log in and out of the blog at funny times of day, so am more of a reader than a post-er...however...
    AkaCrumpy, post #66 has got to be the best post I've ever read! It just sums up all of you regular bloggers, such lovely, funny peeps.
    CLP, if AkaCrumpy requests an ARF this week, serve it up to her pleeease, surely she deserves it.
    Got a smile on my dial for the rest of the day now.
    Laters, Tiger x

    Ok I said well done Crumps.

    I would love to spend Christmas with you.

    Everyone loves you,do you like coffee...hence rhyming Hoffi coffee.

    And then went on to blah di blah di blah combining Welsh n French.

    Apoligising for mixing up both languages as we had to take both at the same time.

    Darn it Mods..thought you had taken a seat on the back burner!

    For once..I would like to INSIST that the mods put this Tribute to Crumps back on.

    Make contact with me and I will explain it word for word and hpoefully see it returned to its rightful place.

    Oh Chris how about the first record on Friday being "We all stand Together" as we will be recording the very first bit in A.U.S.T.R.A.L.I.A this weekend and then the big recording down at Longleat in September.

    Morning

    I was feeling raring to go at 6.30 when I woke up

    Sadly, I then fell back asleep & didn't wake up properly until quarter to eight, then had to get boys up, dressed, breakfasted & over to Grandma's 20mins away before getting to work on time as today is only day of month I see boss and there's a coffee morning going on too!

    Have just about managed to catch up with myself. Boss has gone out of office to make a few visits so breathe.......................

    Day has got to get better?

    Crumpy, strange yes but as long as you enjoy their visits then why the heck not!?
