God Bless ABBA!!!

TBx

Ah, Christoph, I would have given anything to have been round your kitchen table this morning, I could've added another 'S' name to the other three!!!

The ABBA concert sounds great!

Bouncy Noah looks sooooooooo cute!!

Pen aka S xx

Love the picture Chris.

Don't you just hate it when a total stranger will come up to and say 'Smile it may never happen'. Makes my blood boil.

M.xx

Just a reminder, although I suspect you've already picked the first tune.

Please Please me...............................pleeeeeeeeese!!!

Pen xx

Just had to join the blog after being a lurker for a while to say that we are going to the Abba thingy and I'm so excited.

Asked MrS a while ago to see if he was interested cos he's a big Abba fan and lo and behold he said yes - so I bought the tickets quick smartish.

Also bought tickets for Proms in the Park for the day before.

Great news about all the performers!

So 2 nights in London, 2 great 'do's' and 2 posh picnics - Happy Days!!

You read most of the posts Christoph, including the ramblings of the FNWC which has now extended to almost any day of the week!!!?
I would have been another S at the kitchen table with Pen !! 'cept I don't use that name!!
How cute is that pic of Noah - real munchable now isn't he.

Mrs Snuggles welcome to the madness. Sounds like a superb week-end in store for you. I wish!!

Beezer xx

pee ess text from the Deev - all OK now was her message.
(or should that be for now) my comment - not hers!!

Beez...fanks for the update...x

He is growing so quickly. What a little sweetheart.

Hi Chris, if you do the blonde wig you will have to do the white lycra flared suit! Now that, I am sure, a lot of people would pay for.

Noah looks such a cutie.

looking forward to this weekends Beatles thing.

Geronia

Hi Chris,

What a fabulous photograph of Noah - he is a wee sweetheart! Have a great weekend. Sorry I will miss the show tonight (going a friend's for dinner and lots of wine!) but I know it will be fantastic.

Just want to say to MC: thanks - I am really looking forward to meeting you and all everyone else in Liverpool! Very exciting!

Hellen: regarding "I Will". I always took it to be a song about someone you can't have, who you have seen, but can't get together with for some reason. I could, of course, be completely wrong! No matter, it is a wonderful song!

As for the R2 Beatles weekend - I'll be listening to as much as possible. Johnnie Walker played "All my Lovin'" this morning and it made me think of my lovely brother who died three years ago. He and his then fiancee were in London when this record was in the charts. They found a wee shop that could record you singing, and they provided you with a 45 single! They sang this song - their singing was atrocious, but they were young, madly in love, and they giggled all the way through it. Then, in 1967 they emigrated to Canda, and my brother gave my mum the record. She would listen to it all the time, weeping her eyes out, because her son had gone away and she missed him so much!

C xx

Fab photo CLP..he is such a sweetie! And the white flares and blonde wig is definately a go-er!

Right..got to get sorted to shut up shop so will be off..bestest bud round for tea,wine and a natter tonight so prob wont be back...but will look forward to the shenanigans brightening up my saturday morning!

Cheers!

mSc x

Awwwww lovely Noah - my litle girl loved her bouncer, when she got a bit older she used to spin herself around on one foot until she got totally dizzy!! Hehehe

Hope you are all well and have great weekend, got soaked again today - what you betting the minute the school holidays are over, the weather will be fab!

xx

afternoon all

Back from hairdressers and shopping to see new blog. What a fabulous photo Chris. He is so like Tash.

Hope all gets better with Deev as don't want her going back to the way she was feeling on Monday.

Better dash and make a cuppa as OH just come back from work

Yeeha, whoop whoop whoop,shrieks of glee,yelps of utter joy.

A tad excited if you couldn't tell.

I am not having a picnic on the M5 after all. In fact,sitting on my bed with lappy in front of me.

There has been an incident on the Avonmouth Bridge (unfortunate for someone so I'm sorry for them,have heard its someone wanting to leap off)

So,thanks to Sally Traffic,have turned around and come home.

Downfall is that I will have to head off out 4am on Tuesday, but what ho, I love that time of the day.

Going off to gather some more plums,got no freezer space so it will be more jamming.

Quick blog catch up.

I love babies but I couldnt eat a whole one,lol.Mind you in Noahs case,isnt he truly scrumptious?

MTF...calm down dear :0

You all ready for my ARF then?

MTF.xxx

Oh bless him! He's getting so big!! They do love those boucer door thingies! Thanks for posting that, Christoff ... and ofcourse we knew that you and yours read your posts!

Anyhoo, got to head and get ready for work, which I really am not looking forward to! Hope I won't be late tonight!!

#11 Chrissie

Isn't it wonderful how we all interpret it differently.
I was told by someone that knew Paul that he would want it to mean whatever you wanted it to mean. But I still want to know what was in his head when he wrote it.

I am not sure it can be for Linda because of the line "and If I ever saw you, I didn't catch your name" I take that to mean he had not met her.

Interesting though eh?

Hells

#11. and it doesn't seem to fit with someone he can't have either, but you may be right, because I may be reading too deeply into it. *loL*

TIGGS!

Oh I also remember another Ringo song.
On the white album, I think it's called "does it mean you don't love me any more" or maybe its "don't pass me by"

Getting in the spirit of the weekend, during my littles spell of research on the 4 from liverpool, i found this out about their first experience of drugs...
"In April 1965, Lennon and Harrison's dentist spiked their coffee with LSD while they were his guests for dinner." - How nutz is that!!
- This was apperently their first experience with the drug,..that Dentist took abit of a risk,lol!!
-It never back fired as the two continued to take it voluntarily,...but still,lol! - thats not really what you expect from ya dentist, well it was the 60s i guess!
-were the 60s really like that? i was only around 2 yeras of 70s and dont remember alot of those.
Mike

Cheers for reading me Chris! ;)

#35 I agree Hellenbach - brilliant - listened in office - in car and I really must start the meal in a mo!!!!

Yes Mike the 60's were like that !!! I was of course a mere child! Half bottles ? Half bottles? wot are those?

Right - sport and travel - just time to sprint to kitchen. Back later peeps.

Beezer xx

Wonderful song to finish with. What a great show, thank you to all of you.

H x x

Evening each

First glass poured.

I loved that bouncy thing when mine were tiny. You just pat them on the head gently and away they go - bouncing for ages.

Anyone think of me when they heard the traffic report at 7.50 on JW show? Yes, dear readers, I listened to it, in the bleedin' queue for that poxy bridge.

Back later after I've catched up (sorry, I've been with a 4yr old all day).

xxxxx

Evening All.....

Chris...Noah is one gorgeous boy......and those door swings are fab, the boy loved his, especially when the dog sneaked past him and sent him spinning......

On my todd with the boy this weekend, so lets hope for some dry weather so I can let him run free for a bit.
But I do have to make a apple and blackberry pie tomorrow - the blackberry's on the dog walk are getting fat 'n' juicy, so much so I'm fighting with the wasps for them! (the wasps win btw)

Back with my bottle of Ale once I've had my beans on toast - CBA tonight....

ebx

A quick thought for all the Beatles fans here- seems to be most of you,
Im not sure if they have already mentioned it all over the radio, but do u know that ALL the beatles albums are being re-released REMASTERED on 09/09/09, including 2 boxsets. - if you already know this then i appologise.
It also may have something to do with the fact that i may work for one of the music retailers -dont think i can mention which one(but the one with the little dog as part of our logo)heehee. But keep your High Street store alive! you would miss your local record store if we all went.
The Quality of the recordings is suposed to be superb!
Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy
x

Thanks for the info gt - I didn't know. Sounds like a Christmas pressie plan for the man in the cupboard who is a huge Beatles fan.

I agree about the local record stores. My favourite is Windows in Newcastle - been there forever and you can get all sorts of obscure stuff, sold by people who know everything about music. My DVD of rare Johnny Cash footage came from there.

xxxxx

Quite agree about Windows Annie even though they did let me down once - didn't manage to get the CD anywhere else either mind.

Trying to hold off on the glass of whatever until Deev joins the proceedings - not the same without her musings.

Well, I'm on my second - and trying to do some work too.

Tell us what CD you couldn't get. Bet someone, somewhere has got a copy.

xxxxx

True dat!
I started in a little Independent and they are very Cool places, to shop in and to work. You meet some very intresting people. We had Reg Presley from The Troggs (local hero where i lived)come in once to do a signing of his single. he turned up in his tight leather trousers and leather jacket, it was fairly ammusing as the mass of people he expected to turn up never really materialized and just afew sweet little old ladies turned up. He seemed an ok guy tho,alittle lost in the times tho.
Yeah the Beatles boxsets are gonna be between 179-200 pound.
mike
x

Well, that's never going to happen then!!!!

xxxx

yeah, someones gotta rrrrrrrreally do something right to make you wanna buy it for them. But get the Boyfriend/husband to earn it!!
Fun all round!! Weh-hay!!

Hello Anne, GT, SB55 - why wait for Deevs - heck i'm 2 glass's in - she would be worried if we werent! She will def be on catch up mode - she is after all a DEEVA! and that is why we love her!

Ebw - LMAO thinking of poor boy between swing doors!!!!!! should I ring social services or laugh - nah - no harm done - and good giggle for all who picture!

Christoph - just make sure bouncy thing is not in a louvre door situ......

comon every one join in!

debs

errrrrrr - scuse me - just come out of kitchen preping dins to oven - whas goin on with football on my teleboxxx on a Friday - NO NO NO
reet - of to change channels

hmph
:-(

Anyone here on the Blog met any famous Musicians or got any good stories about when they met big named rock stars at all, ..could be a real eye opener, could be funny!
Mike
x

Annie it was a CD of the show Mack & Mabel (for me Dad) a few years back before the show resurfaced again and I at least thought Windows would have had it but alas no.

Now do I have another cup of tea or a glass of soave??

gt: Still never going to happen!!!!
xxx

Famous musicians? Well, I don't know if he's famous but Martin Stephenson made his first demo at my brother's studio.

xxx

As did APU, with their photie at Machu Pichu on the cd cover.

xxx

Given in to amaretto over ice, tasty and not really alcohol just runny marzipan

GT, my piano teacher was Howard Jones, before he was famous tho'

Right curry on the bubble - quick slurp before I mess about with the bits that go with.

Mike - my sis used to have stores in Coventry she could get all sorts of records etc I couldn't get. Presume all gone now tho' boo. Yes met loads of famous folk but before they were famous really. 60's groups mainly and Tom Jones. Matt's your man for that one. More up to date than me!!!

I did think of you Annie - wondered if you were stuck on the old rickety.

Beez xx

Oooo, Susan, sounds lovely.

xx

Ooooh Blogpeeps!

I'm owning up to not having caught up on todays action due to trying to get 300 invites printed and out to clients but am just about to have a rant....WARNING!!!!....RANT WARNING!!!!!....

After printing several gold envelopes with addresses (got to be done individually as people have changed addresses etc) only to find that the printer ink wont stick to the envelopes so I've had to wipe all of them clean with furniture polish and now plan to go back into the office (where there's a different printer that will print on the gold) and work tomorrow morning....

RANT Over....

Luv
Lyndyloo & the bump
-x-x-x-

leaving home office now as I finish typing...

Have a fabby weekend everyone!

cheers Annie, it is x

Just remembered - saw the Alan Price Combo in a pub in Whitley Bay before they became The Animals.

Does that count?

xxxx

Lyndy, now you've polished them, will any ink stick to them?

xxxx

Lyndy - calm down deep breaths - not good for wee lad!!! and I've got to work tomorrow too! Original plan was I should be in bolt hole by now !! Ha ha !!!!

Beezer xx

Goodness only knows! They were smudging and we'd already put stamps on so it was a case of rescue as much as we can :}}

Lyndy I find it bad enough to get roller-ball type pen to write on thos silver envelopes that lots of cards come with these days to printing on that sort of paper must be a nightmare. Poor you. Hope you are going home to put your feet up with an orange juice or whatever you can drink for the bump

I think the amaretto has taken over my fingers after just a couple of sips so sorry for all the typos!
I may have to lurk rather than contribute me thinks?

Well, join the club Suse. Don't you dare lurk

xx

Evening peeps - missed the show today so listening to it on i-player.
Just had venison sausages slow cooked in the oven with sliced onions, mushrooms and potatoes. Lovely.

G & T by my side and just spent a wee while catching up on what you lot have been talking about today.

Don't know how lomg I can stay tonight as I have a load of stuff to do for a stall at the village show tomorrow - trying to get new members for my drama group. Have also been roped in to man the book stall and the bran tub!
Hope the weather is good.

Crumpy xx

Thanks Beez-SusanB-Annie- I'm now going to move away from my home office... go back to the house, have a large cuppa tea and a pizza! Have to be up early in the morning as if I don't get them in the post by midday it'll be Tuesday before they go Doh!!!

Breathing deeply as I go...
-x-x-x-

brightAnnie-G , have to admitt, didnt really know who Martin Stephenson was ( showing my naivety here!) - so i looked him up!!

You go on his Web site martinstepheson.com and look at the picture at the bottom of the home page, who could that be standing in the grey shirt-but only Mr Christophe Evans himself! ,..spooky or am i missing something!?

Oh no! He's watching the Professionals! Will try to keep with you guys, whilst attempting to cook something, so be warned, as I can't text!

Oooooo, off to have a look gt. I did have a copy of his demo but lost it ages ago. It was good!

xxxx

Lyndy I don't suppose you can just do the addresses on to address labels - won't look so good but would do the trick so long as the labels will stick to the polished envelopes. I know you can get gold address labels but probably not at this late stage.

enjoy the cuppa and the pizza xxx

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music, any old way you choose it ....

Evening all!

How bloomin' fab was ARF tonight???? Well done Tiggs for the opener - actually made Himself go into the chippy to get his birthday supper (his choice!)' so I could stay in the car and listen to Chris play more and more Beatles toons! Texted the show twice (I did my O Level History project on the Beatles and how they changed modern popular culture) but it never got read out - no worries, the music was FAB!!!!!!

Zoo was ok. Bit showery. Fell in love with the giant bunny rabbits and baby piglets. And I still want a goat - me and Mabel will rule the world one day!

Have now been banished to thw boudoir as he's watching a fillum and my nails tapping on the lappy were annoying birthday boy!

oops!

Feeling good tonight!

Deevs
xxxx

GT: So Martin is still going strong - in Invergordon!!!!!! And yes, I clocked CLP. Heavens to Betsy, must go and look for that demo.

xxxxx

Good evening Deevs. I'm a bit scared of those huge rabbits. It's not right, really, rabbits being that huge!!

xxxx

Evening Deevski - afraid you have missed this round and a few others before I started on the stronger stuff. FNAC as far as I am concerned xx

i am a fan of the Amaretto here!!susan b
know what you mean about runny marzipan,lol.
Tip here: if you like whiskey,try....Amaretto,Jack Daniels & Coke on the rocks - very nice on a warm evening,..or any evening.
mike

Deev - I took a goat to a wedding once! TRUE.
She was called Heidi and had been a gift to the bride from the groom when they moved in together on their smallholding.

When they decided to get married my then husband and I had the task of bathing her and tieing a ribbon 'round her neck and taking her to the church.

We did so in the back of a maxi, with the seats down and she pooed every where.

C x

Deevs were there any sad donkeys? I think they are so cute.

Hello , good evening, bon soir ,

Am just in experimental mode tonight.... no more hot thighs for me folkies. Have now got knee machine balanced on one of those cold trays you put on the table to put hot things on top of ........simple . So far , only slight riggamortis (Sp) in knee area , but not complaining .

MC xx

Hi everyone
Puff from France. Tuned in to the show. Can't believe I can be here in France with so luvly weather and prepare my meal listening to Chris and ARF and Beatles (so my time!) Sorry haven't looked over previous messages so not up to speed!
Puff
xx

I give it half an hour MC and you will dump that tray for the warmth that is a well used laptop.

C x

Crumpy , just having a major giggle at you pooing goat story ,,,,, haw haw haw

Mcx

Hot thighs ! I could do with those at the mo - I'm frozen!!!!

Crumpy wee and poo !

Beez xx

so glad I was able to do the shopping this afternoon instead of this evening as usual which means I have time to drink and blog I think in that order x

Puff , please dont mention the weather , we have monsoons , hurricanes and gridlock on the motorways ..... just a normal pre bank holiday meltdown.


MC

It actually was even funnier coz we broke down and had to call the AA (other breakdown etc etc ..)

His face was a picture when he arrived!

We did get to the church on time, although for them leaving rather than arriving.

Car smelled of goat for days.

C x

Beeze a good slug of something should warm you up!? My amaretto is very warm down the tubes

OMG and I have offered to drive Crumpy to the Norwich meet ! Waaaaaaaaaagh my new car - what's going to happen !!!!! For heavens sake let me know if you need a wee!!!

Beezer x

MC
So sorry! Funnily enough I said to Mr P, Bank Holiday weekend in England - bound to be 'orrible!!!
Hope it's not too bad
P

Crumpy,

Bugger all on the box, I might join ya! 'cept pooter's on go slow!!

Pen xx

Sus - going to have to try that! Daren't go back to the JD - could drink a bottle near nuff and didn't even fill my toes!

Beez xx
