ARF Robbie - Come Undone

morning CLP and everybody(other)body peeps!

Just saying a quick Hi, back later
Tiggs xxx

ARF - Shirley Bassey - Get This Party Started (for Electric Proms)

Morning Chris

A Q&A - nerve-wracking?!?! I used to hate those when I had my recycling job. I could answer most things (girly swot, me!) but there was always some smart-alec in the throng who wanted to out-smart the presenter and show off their in-depth knowledge of all things tree-huggy.

The early morning mist has now cleared here in Essex and we too have blue skies and a bit of sunshine.

ARF - Basket Case - Green Day

peeeeeeeeee: clocks change early hours of Sunday morning x x x

Morning again,

I seem to have a knack of posting a message on the previous blog just when a new ones appers, this week. It's my age, you know...
Misty mornings...which reminds me ARF Misty Morning Albert Bridge - The Pogues.

Nic

Morning Christoph - have a good weekend yourself.

Haven't thought of an arf yet - will go and have a thunk.

Hi Tiggs xx

Beezer xx

Morning Chris,

Just about to escape this madness and head to Bath accompanied by your good self and the remainder of your book.
You'd better make me laugh.....I need it!

You seem to thrive in an interview environment (certainly the case with OC the other morning),you seem to enjoy it...and why not?
Nice that people are interested I s'pose.

Have a good day the rest of you

ARF: The Jackson Five - Rockin' Robin....

TWEET...........TWEET.......TWEET TWEET!

Nic/Deev

Had to chip in on the intimate venue topic.

Three of the greatest gigs I have seen were in such places;

1987 Guns n Roses, old Wardour St. Marquee.

2009 Chickenfoot in the sweatbox that is the Shepherds Bush Empire.

Can't for the life of me remember the year, but Suede were awesome down in Brighton, first outing post-Butler, so I'm guessing 94ish.

Oh, and I'm rather looking forward to seeing Green Day this weekend too.

Shame it isn't down my local pub.

Peace + love

MfR

LOL Matt. Will give Billie Joe some huggles tonight and tell him to retain some tiger in his tank!

x x x

Morning All,

It's blinking cold down here today....but blue skys...hurrah!!

I shouldn't be here......I should be having an interview :( Got a call from a very stuffy sounding girl from the agency just as I was getting ready 'can we put it back to this afternoon?' Poo....

Now I've just got to hope that t'other finishes on time at 12.30 so he can boy sit...........

So instead having a me morning, with yous lot!

ebx all dressed up with nowhere to go!

HI Beez!
Deev, did you say you were going to Green Day tonight? Must have missed the 152347 refeneces to that this week (Mother interjects 'Young lady, I've told you a million times not to exaggerate') Have fun, hope you're not too pooped by the time you get home!

HI CLP

ARF- Big Girls by Mika......always brightens the day :)

Hello everyone! I knew I shouldn't have stayed up to watch QT. It's not that the programme finished that late - it's just that it took hours to watch because we had to keep pressing the pause button to have noisy discussions about it.

ARF Chris - could I have Pulling Mussels (From A Shell) by Squeeze pleeze.

Thanks xx

It might be Pulling Mussels From THE Shell (or For Michelle). Oh, I don't know.

LOL Obama !!! You were right the first time !!

ARF Everything - Bubble - please CLP

Beezer xx

Morning all!

Hi Chris, Wrote a huge missive with my views on the whole QT thing but lost my nerve to post it so cannot comment on your blog, apart from to say that as politicians decide to do the job they do I am afraid they have little sympathy from me. Enjoy the Q & A with Kirsty. Have a wonderful weekend yourself with your lovely family!

Off on my hols tomorrow, so quite excited today!

ARF - Special Brew - Bad Manners, pwetty pwease!

Daisy x

Hi Chris,

Yes, isn't it lovely when one's child decides on an early start to the day?! Hope you, Tash and Noah have great weekend.

Cheryl: hope you and MrCtD have a good time tonight. Last time MrS and I went to a show - Jools Holland and approximately 15 other unbelievably noisy musicians - MrS fell asleep! I know he had had a busy week, but good grief! Enjoy your evening!

Hope everyone else is having a good day. Friday again, can't believe it!

C xx

LOL Chrissie! We went to see Motorhead a couple of years ago (our 3rd time!) and the bloke behind us took his son - approx 10 yrs old - and the little one slept all the way through it!

How tired must you be to SLEEP through Motorhead!?!?

Deevs
x x x

Morning - just

Have been trying to keep me head down & get on with a ton of work but have to make one quick comment

Chrissie - MrS Managed to fall asleep with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues orchestra doing their thing????

Even when the trumpets did the magnificent blaring out loudly bit???

Even through Ruby????? And Rico????

Hats off to the man. That takes some doing.

Obviously wasn't sat next to me cos I would have woken him up with my boogieing. Have seen them about 8 times now & can't sit still.

Laters peeps

Seza xxxxx

(really not here!!!!)

PS Do have fab pic tho of Boy2 fast asleep in middle of big Bo Rap finale when Queen payed O2 (there it is again) with Paul Rodgers last year. He was only 9 tho!!

Seza xxx

Can we have an unofficial Good Friday, if so, can we make today one ??

MTF.xx

Busy, busy, busy....

Last ditch attempt and then I'll go quietly honest....

ARF...Twilight ELO, please.xx

Ello CLP & ALL...

Bingo Star ere....

CLP - Yep a waz watching the Question Time... first time ave 'ad time or INDEED toook the time ter watch the bloke that all the fuss waz about!!!!!!!

All a can say iz god 'elp uz if ever 'e became PM!!!!!!!

The man ter me came across az crayzee.... just laughed whenever 'e goot stumped..... a sign of madness if yer ask me!!!!!!

All a can say iz some things I agreed with... like that we shouldn't ave gone inter Iraq but don't most of uz all anyway!!!!!
But most of the things 'e said were.... MAD in my opinion!!!!!!

Religeon and politics.... when are we all gonna realise we are basically all the same and belong ter one world whatever yer race or colour!!!!!

All a can say iz maybe instead of all the arguing by the politicians maybe they should study the mening of the words ter Imagine by John Lennon!!!!!!

Which brings me ter me ARF choice.... Imagine by John Lennon - WHATTA COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS CLP - VERY slowly am learning more about 'ow the twitter works... most alot liking yer photos... especially the ones of the Ferraris and nice ones of Noah in the 'ot seat!!!!!!
A future F1 driver maybe!!!!!!!
PPS - Also all those white Ferraris... reminds me of what Ferrari 'eaven would look like!!!!!!
PPPS - Yer see the only flaw with twitter... wouldn't ave beena ble ter say all a just ave on twitter in the nice way ave just said it!!!!!
Still suppose on the blog wouldn't be able ter put all yer photers on!!!!!
Mind you suppose yer could on the blog if yer put the link ere... so ter me the blog iz still superior ter twitter!!!!!!!!

GOURANGA TER ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seza: I KNOW!! Incredible as it may seem, he was out for the count. I became aware that he was really, really quiet and I thought "oh dear, he is hating this, for some reason". Then, I thought, well that's his problem, because this is fantastic. And then I took a really good look at him .... sound asleep! For about 20 mins. He was horrified when he woke up, and during the interval had a few glasses of water - apparently the heat of the hall hit him, and knocked him out!!

And what a fantastic show - Jools Holland is an utter genius IMHO!

C xx

Bingo - know what you mean about twitter - but do love the snippets we get from the mighty CLP - see my stop press earlier and the photos are the best!

debs not here also!

Hi Chris,

You have a great weekend too.

Loved the book, will buy the audio book for my drive to sunny Farnborough in three weeks time.

MTF.xx

Debs - Yeah a agree with on the bit yer agree with me... a agree!!!!!!

ARF has to be Special Brew - Bad Manners, great song and haven't heard it in ages

Cheers
GNH

ARF ELO - Mr Blue Sky

Wotcha cockers...and a happy Friday to you Christophe...

QT was excellent last eve, really liked all the panellists...and loved Jack Straw comPLETEly not answering the question re immigration...what an a*se.

Need to share.

Bosses both out. Green Day on LOUD on the iPod dock. Sun streaming in thru the window. Just had a lovely chat with someone wonderful on the dog n bone. Workload looking good for a Friday afternoon. Leaving at 4.30.

How flippin' good can life get?!?!?!

As you were .....

Can i just say that i don't have multiple logins and the fact that my fav song of all time (silvermandingo no 33) and fav song of the moment (gnh28034 no 32) being chosen has nothing to do with me

But thanks peps - i hope one of you get picked ;-)

baggy le puse

Baggy, as if we'd *ever* think that of you sweetheart!

I'm still desk dancing. At this rate I'll peak before I leave work!

Deevski

Right, off to fix some broken smiles, leave a barstool empty for me will you.

Laters all FNWCers.

MTF.xxx

Hazel,

Quite agree on Mr Straw. Pure waffle and ineptitude. The sort of thing that gives Griffin votes.

Cheryl,

Music in the office? Outrageous!

Roll on finish time today. Dance class tonight - Argentinian Tango - will my other half EVER get those leg flicks right?!

Nic

Nic - officially jealous now! I so want to learn to dance proper but Mr Deev not so keen - he's more your moshing and head-banging variety.

Good luck with the Argentinian Tango - keep it sharp!

and music in the office - hell yeh baby!


I just carried out open heart surgery on the photocopier and it's now working again ... is there no end to my talents?!?!

I'm being stalked by a texter. Just cos someone got the afternoon off !!! I'm supposed to be working !!!

ARF alert - Changed me mind ...........

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

Ta Christoph !!!

Beezer xx

This time in 2 weeks time ................. weeeeeeeeeee M6 car park

Someone pick Deb up and turn her round - she's likely to do a reverse Anneka sprint !!!

Beez xx

Arent there any loos there then Beez>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gone!!

okay - ideas please - I have to take 8 days holiday between now and the end of the year but with Mr bp working nights and having no holiday I am by myself - any ideas what I should do if I take odd days off - I could almost have a day a week between now and Chrimbo?

Beez - this time i n2 weeks I'll have done the first leg of my mamouth journey and just about be getting in to a black cab to take me to Euston to catch the tilty express to Loverpool!

Hurrah!

Baggy - that's a lorra breakfast's with Rips ..... !

You need to take 1 day off on 20th November for Pudsey!

Deevs
x x x

Beez: my boss saw Fleetwood Mac in Glasgow last night - he said they were just fantastic.

I remember MrS bought me Rumours a month after our 1st wedding anniversary. Two gifts, two months running .... what were we, millionaires?!

Baggy: I still have six days holidays to take before the end of the year - I plan to take them mostly as Monday holidays - that way, on Sunday nights, I won't get the "Monday Morning Blues"!

One of those Monday's will be after the Liverpool Meet - I think I may need a lie-in!

C xx

Hi SBP - I'll forgive you for ignoring my ARF!!!

See if your local college has any day courses for the 8 week duration and if there is anything that interests you. It is half term this week and they might do something fun in the weeks leading up to the C-word thingummyjig.
Do some volunteering in a local charity shop one day a week, or meals on wheels or something similar.
Does your church run any groups during the week you could help out with for the period running up to C-mas?

Would you believe the beloved OH has just rang me (bearing in mind we go away tomorrow) and he appears to have succumbed to the flu that middle man had at the beginning of the week. So I am now a not so excited Daisy as I may be driving the boys and I by myself to our destination, with himself catching up with us when he is better :-(

Daisy x

Oh golly I dont like it when that happens - anyone know why it does - it was doing it in my emails too - so sent them anyway - cant wait for the reactions! LOL

Baggy - what about the 23rd December - mini london meet in case of CLPs drivetime party - so me and mr&mrs tiggs got lunch planned even if there isnt a CLP party!

debs
x

DDD - sorry I did miss your ARF - top toon

Great ideas there!

Debs - will probably take half day that day - but will be needed at work! Liking the idea of gate crashing your lunch with tigs id thats okay?

May I borrow the ranty pants please.

My daughter is moving house today. There are only two properties in the chain.
Buy to let buying their house. They are buying a bungalow to make it easier for my daughter to get around and the people they are buying off are emigrating!

So why the **** have they not completed their purchase yet and so are still waiting to collect the keys which involves a 15 mile round trip before the removal men can start lugging in the furniture.

Do solicitors do it to wind people up on what is a stressful occasion anyway.
I took a days holiday to help. I might as well have not bothered!!

Rant over. Sorry everyone.

I hope you are all having a good day.

Thunder

Thunder,

Don't get me started on solicitors, as I will be permanently be wearing a pair of aforementioned pants...

Cheryl,

Go with a girlfriend if you want to do it but just agree who is the "man", so to speak. It's not just Argentinian Tango but normal Tango, Jive, Cha-cha-cha, quickstep, salsa, rumba that we do..had I better stop there...or it really will be a Green (with jealousy) Day...ha ha..sorry!
Have fun at the gig, though.

Nic

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww man! I'd just love to be able to salsa and oh to be able to do a passable Paso .....

I have jazz shoes!

Deevs
x

Baggy - love for you to join us for lunch - not at all 'gate crash'!

Deevs - I can do a mean salsa - tomatoes, onions, vinegar, etc! Great on naaaaaaaaaaaaaaachos!

debs

Chezza - A read yer gonna be jumping on the Virgin ter Liverpool.... All a can say iz whatever yer do.... DO NOOT PULL the red 'andle ter speak ter the driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for any who don't know what am on about... see me blog yesterdee).

Chow!

Debs - in that case publish details of time & place etc (or contact me through fb) and I'll be there.

So thats another half day booked ;-)

and I've asled for half a day for shopping and the turning on of Chrimbo lights ;-)

Daisy: what a start to your holiday. Still, with a bit of luck, Mr Daisy will be ok in a couple of days ..... my rosary beads are rattling as I type! (multi tasking!)

Cheryl: how I would love to dance. My lovely daddy tried everything to teach me the Waltz prior to my wedding, but it was just impossible. My brain could not compute what I was asking my body to do! Years ago, MrS and I gave it go with the old ballroom dancing thingy. Week after week we went along, being taught by a married couple who had won all sorts of awards for dancing. Eventually, the man taught me, the lady taught MrS -all to no avail - they had to admit defeat!

But, you know, I have a wee sneaky feeling you would be good at this - you should discuss further with our lovely Mary - she is an incredible dancer!

C xx

ARF - Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

Yay! Baggy! Ladies wot lunch!

Deevster - can i aska ickle flavour?? can you into me and the lovely baggy on facecloth please :-)

ta muchly

debs

Debs - dunnit.

Chrissie - when I was in my teens I used to do majorettes and modern contemporary dancing. When my parents split up, mum couldn't afford both so I had to choose, and opted for the baton twirling as more of my mates were in the majorettes.

Regretted it ever since!

Deevs x x x

Cheryl: absolute b*gger! But, it's never too late - so go for it!

xx

New Year's Resolution eh Chrissie!?!?

x x x

Text from Scoobs. Apologies for absence, but sez a huge Friday hi y'all to all bloggers!!

x

Cheryl/Chrissie

I've been to Jive,Ceroc and Salsa classes and was absolutely c..p at them all, but so loved it, especially the Salsa. Even had lessons in Cuba but still can't do it. Deev - went to the lessons on my own, it doesn't really make any difference because you have to change partners all the time anyway - go for it, you will love it!

Darce xx

Whats with all the ELO requests ???????

Its not like they were good or anything :P

Anyway accidentally heard this during the week :

ARF : Toploader - Achille's Heel

Cheryl: regarding New Year Resolutions - you said recently that you had kept yours for 2009. For the first time ever, I really intend to keep mine for 2010. I'm not going to say what they are, but I am really going to keep them, this time!

Scoobs: hiya to you too!

Darce: great advice! Get right in there with the dancing, before the old knees go! (I know what I'm talking about unfortunately!)

xx

Chrissie - my NYR was as shallow as me - learn to walk confidently in high heels! I think I can honestly say I've cracked that one now!

Will give the solo dance thing some thought, although Mr Deev may need some persuading to "let" me go on my own.

Deevs
x x x

me again! Cheryl, nothing "shallow" about learning to walk on high heels! Well done - speaking as someone who has trouble even walking in slippers, I say: good on ya!

And, yes, of course it may be a bit of a challenge for MrCtD to let you go on your own. Good idea from Nic to go with a girl pal!

xx

Hiya all

Chrissie I'm going to see Fleetwood Mac next week - on Boy1's birthday! oops. Luckily, he's going to be spoiled at Nanny & Grandad's so he's ok with it

Deevs, If you're still there, have a great night

Hope everyone ok

Seza xxxx

Seza: my boss tells me that he has NEVER seen a more professional show than Fleetwood Mac last night. All the hits, absolutely brilliant, so hope you have a great time.

And of course Boy1 WILL be spoiled rotten, so no worries!

C xx

Thanks Chrissie, will tell mr Seza when he gets home

xxx

I love dancing, wish I had never given it up, one of my regrets! Have bored Chrissie with my exam papers, certificates and medals :o))

Hi Seza xx

Have a good weekend everyone!

Mary xx

Waaaaaaaa can't get me i player to work!!

Beez xx

Awww, MwK: you are a star! I would have nicked a couple of those medals, but they have YOUR name on them!

Have a good weekend everyone, see you Monday.

C xx

Barney - You got your request then!

Hiya

Has Chris said anything about a Goodbye to Drivetime thang yet?

Thought I saw something about it earlier but don't know what's happening?

Seza xxx

PS Sorry, Well done Barney, kids liked that one!!

xx

Argh, just deleted my entire posting in my excitement. Here I go again:

Barney again, well done, and yes indeed Schools Out, for a week anyway, and I am happy happy happy, sorry will shut up about it.

Nicrolastic - I'm so excited, just like the Pointer Sisters. We do all those dances, we've been learning for a year. We are unleashing ourselves on the serious (?) dancing fraternity tomorrow when we go to our first ever grown-up dance, trouble is we're not very grown-up and there will be a bar. We're just along the road from you in Rugby - maybe we should get together, I'll be the lady (ha ha).

Hello everyone else, am a bit out of the loop at the mo but I am here in spirit.

HAYYYYYYYYYZEL!!!XXX

BTW (ooh get me with my abbreviations) can anyone tell me where Chris was off to - BH? Buck House?

A x

Der, just worked it out, Broadcasting House. Too much adrenalin in me system.

A x

Boleyngirl,

We have had a couple of social evenings with the dancing but all the others were part of the class too so not as adventurous as you. I work in Warwick, at the moment, but live about 50 miles north with the yam yams! Nice idea though.

BH - Broadcasting House?

Nic

Just read your last message - d'oh for me too!
Off now..remember...keeeeep dancing!

Nic

Hi BG you sound really excited! Do you work in a school by any chance?

Nic, yam yams??

Seza xxxx

Oooer - why do they do that on a Friday ! Will try again in a bit - it did say was shut for maintenance !!!! Will go and have a stir and try again !!!

Beez xx

OOO CLP just on the telly box!!!

Seza xxx

Aha, you're up early too CLP! Have seen some fantastic sunrises on the way to work lately, fair makes you smile :-)

Hello everyone, please excuse my absinthe, stuff going on here which is not fun at the moment. Suffice to say, another bereavement imminent. And I'm loaded with the cold...

Anyhoooooooo... Cheryl, thanks for the heads up re the clocks, had totally forgotten! Ooh, does that mean an extra hour in bed on Sunday? Or one hour less. Dammit, 35 years old and I still can't figure it out!

Nic #6 - was just reading your post when said fantastic tune started on the old itunes :-)

Deev/Nic/MfR, unlike you lovely folk, I haven't been to many gigs. But I did see Hue & Cry in 19(something) doing an accoustic set in a small hall in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Front row seats, could hear Pat Kane singing without the mic, flippin' amazing!!

Eb, how did you get on at the interview?

Deev/MfR, just a weeeeee bit green here, hope you both have a great night!

Chrissie #49 - I'm taking Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - and yes, I do plan to enjoy myself hehe.

Deev #55 - why am I not surprised that you have jazz shoes :-)

Right, off for another glass of vino - purely medicinal of course, I've got a bad throat you know!

AF, lovin' your work xxx

AF ,

Hiya , good to see ya, but sorry things not good right now. Get rid of that cold , ses you soon.

MC xx

Where?! Probably missed it now anyway.

Evening sportsfans,

Shame on you Beez! What with your butcher up the road....I haven't been allowed to eat mince since I met the CMM....she insists on buying Braising Steak and doing it herself.
She has her ways, bless her.

Boleyn - I presume you are collapsed in a heap like a certain teacher that I know?

Barney - good work fella!

Nic - good toes - naughty toes!!!! Or is that ballet?

Hi MC (and Rips) - it's all good, I've got fish finger sandwiches for tea :-)

Rips - it was only the advert for the shop that is selling CLP's book along with many others,

Just thought I see if anyone was there/paying attention

Can you tell yet I'm bored?
