CLP

You get your head down - you'll need your strength and wits about yous later this arvo when Clodagh makes her splash-down at your signing in Dublin!!

You have been warned.

Meanwhile, ARF:

Hey Jude - The Beatles


Again, as a huge THANK YOU to Bingo, Beezer and Jovial for the best Sunday afternoon ever!


Mine's a pint of the black stuff ......

Should be a cracking couple of days Christoff.

Late late show brings back memories of watching the master Gay Byrne when it was repeated on channel 4 in the 80's. Roll the tape Roisin!

Arf - Thin Lizzy - The boys are back in town.

Morning all

A few zeds never did anyone any harm, Christoph, well earned I'd say.

Stair rods here, and more of the same,so they say!

Little else to report, cat's got me tongue!

Pen xx

Darce, thoughts are still with you, hope you're okay, hun xx

CLP,
Beware being Clodagh'd

My ongoing ARF request - Something in the air - Thunderclap Newman (one day it will get the vote maybe)

Debs

I almost just choked on an Opal Fruit (or whatever they're called these days) thanks to what you just called me on Twitter!

Chris,

Hope you have a wonderful weekend - both Dublin and Belfast are terrific cities!

Give Clodagh our love!

Hope everyone else is ok - isn't is great that it's Friday?!

C xx

Well I've survived into the afternoon, thanks for the lend of the ranty pants!! I can pass them back, have calmed down now....

We have a lovely sunny day here, not sure where the storm is, but it's probably on it's way!

Beez, be careful if you decide to travel, it doesn't sound good for Wales at all, Mum has been battening down the hatches since yesterday, getting everything put away or tied down, and stocking up so they don't have to go out anywhere, even for firewood!

I've never been to Dublin or Belfast, but they are both on my list of "places I want to go" - trouble is it's a very long list that gets more added to it than crossed off!

Anyway, better get back to the grindstone for a while....I agree Chrissie, TFI Friday!!

JG x

Chris,

You really do get to go to the best places and do the best things don't you. Enjoy!
ARF - Belfast Child?

Nic

Afternoon All,

Deevs hun your showing your age - they are called Starbursts (or were the last time I looked!) by the way WHY do companies change names of products it's infuriating and why do we ALWAYS call the product by it's orignal name, it's a Marathon, not a Snickers bar, get my drift

Lovely and sunny here in the Scottish Borders, washing flapping in the wind, kids running riot - there on hols for two days AGAIN.

Got to get the glad rags on, will have to do some gardening.

Enjoy the weekend folks.

BLYipE

I have put your book down on my Xmas list so fingers crossed.

ARF: I want to break free - Queen

Have a great weekend.

M.xx

CLP
ARF - Money for Nothing - Dire Straits - cos of the money wot you won for doing nothing (cept answering a few little questions) Thats my final answer

1 million percent

debs

I probably shouldn't ask for an ARF after last week, but I will...

U2 - Pride (In the name of Love)

Cheers

JG x

Possibly too late...but would say surely it has to be Stevie Wonder & "Superstition" for your opening tune?

B

Have a great time in Ireland, Christoph.

ARF: 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin

Hello there Big Chief CLP,

welcome to the Emerald Isle . . .

Have yourselves a great time with young Ryan Tubridy tonight- I'm sure he might find you a suitable milkshake or two after the show...

Might call in tomorrow afternoon to peer over the crowds and get a signature for your B-word - I may even pur-chase your A-B word while I'm there . . .

Have a good one . . .

DtM x

Just had to say thanks Bingo and a mighty fine warm welcome to you too m'dear!!!

Wishing you all the best of weekends and plenty of the black stuff Chris!

ARF; Weather with you, Crowded House cos we don't want it here do we?

Ta ta Lin x

The king of a small African nation had an elegant golden throne in his large grass hut. When an old friend came to visit from another nation, he was worried that the man would discover he was a king and treat him differently. He searched frantically for a place to hide the throne, but to no avail. Finally, he decided to have it wedged up in the ceiling of his hut. When his friend arrived, he went to the hut's opening to greet him. Just then the ceiling started to give way, and the golden throne fell on the king, killing him.

The moral of this story is......









People who live in grass houses should not stow thrones!

My ARF was
A good heart is hard to find - feargal Sharkey but there have been some good suggestions on here....

Hi to Jillygoat & slim Jim glad to 'see' you.

Afernoon CLP and all bloggers,

Hope you have a fab time over there in Ireland, have been to Dublin once and really liked it, have only ever sat on the runway of Belfast airport.

Was supposed to be having a visit from my Goddaughter and her Daddy today but alas she was sick in the night and so was a very tired and grumpy little girl this morning, so we've postponed. Last I heard she had been asleep for 3 hours and counting!

ARF: Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis

Hello everyone how are you?
Hello everyone how are you?
Hello everyone how are you?
How are you today?
(To the tune of Skip to my Lou).

Can't skip to my loo at the moment because there's a man in there boxing off the cistern.

I've never been to Dublin or Belfast I'm ashamed to say; I've only been to Ireland once, for the day believe it or not - a "business trip" to Cork , which was lovely, in my shady pre-teaching days. I've never seen such a small aeroplane. Anyway, Boleynman is a quarter Irish and still has family over there so we keep meaning to go. I remember my girls crying with laughter when they heard that one of his cousins is called Porrig.
(Apologies to any Porrigs who may be lurking).

Anyhow, I hope Chris meets up with Clodagh, I'd love to see that picture.

Happy Friday all,

A x

Been on phone for ever this afternoon and have to report it is now chucking it down big time !!!!!!!

Beezer xx

Well done Michmel! Makes me want to grab the hoover!

Well Beez if you want a weather update, here it is...

Have just come back from St Audries petrol station where it looks like they are going to lose their canopy tonight.

My shed has been vacated of wabbits as I dont think it will be there in the morning.

I have just come back from local town in BIG car and had a struggle to keep it on my side of the road.

A power cut looks imminent as the lights keep going.

Mind you its still warm, I just came out of ELH and it was warmer out than in !!

Its pretty scary here, and I dont scare easily I can reassure you.

Pizza anyone??

MTF.xx

MY SHED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MTF.xx

Oh no MTF Where's your shed gone?

Did you tie the bunnies down?

Seza xXx

Bugrit - theres a shed just flown over me garden!!!!

:-O

debs
x

No low flying bunnies tho'.

They are safely tucked up indoors.

MY GARDEN TABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MTF.xx

Oh poor you MTF, I can report torrential rain here but not too windy (yet)!

Traffic so bad tonight, I was driving so slowly my windscreen wipers kept stopping - how bloody helpful is that???

Beez, have you postponed your trip? Think you should, Pembrokeshire's had it bad already according to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Website for Wales!

Oh, and I am sorry about the previous post, was feeling a little bored, and then got rushed off my feet before I could apologise...tickled me though, but small things...

JG x

MR MOBS!!!!!

MTF.xx

I wish Mr JG would get blown away in the wind, as long as he left his netbook behind! FNWC is going to be a lonely and cold experience if I have to sit out here!

Have you had any Fizz yet MTF?

JG x

Same here JG, Mr Mobs is a bit like a boomerang !! LOL, I am joking.

No JG on the fizz, actually going to stay off the coke, but a tin of scrumpy jack is waiting to be opened once my hands are pizza dough free, going in right now.


DOH !!

MTF.xx

I'm off to order a curry, have had enough this week, and need someone to deliver me some food!

Catch you later!

JG x

Hands Doh free now!

Would love a curry instead!

Swap JG?

MTF.xx

Has everyone else blown away ?

Bought a very naughty piece of rib of beef on the bone today, 5.2kg!

It was in the window and said 'Buy me, you know you want to!'

Do I need to set any extra places at the table on Sunday??

MTF.xx

Not on your life MTF!! Have ordered my favourite, from my fave place - the one's ages ago that I rang back to say how much I'd enjoyed it!

Mr JG now calling, he wants to clear some of our recorded stuff = Nascar from whenever...back after 4 hours of racing!

JG x

Ohh...Just found out...Talledega!! Woohoo!!

Definately later!!

What ??

MTF.xx

Evening all,
Just popping in briefly to ask where you all will be tonight as I have the grandchildren here and will have to be taking them home later .

While some of you were getting ready for the Pool,those of us left at home were all boogieing around at Bolyngirls and had a great time I hasten to add .

Don't think she'll want us again so ,Will you be in The Dog AND Duck,The Swan or The Nags Head.???????

Bingo ,Many thanks for the lovely welcome .xxx.

Also welcome all newbies .

And lastly ,Mtf what are you doing here early ,be careful with the fizz.

Hope to see you later where ever .

Evenink!!

MY WORD.......It's Windy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had the journey from hell home.....the Tamar bridge was closed to anything bigger then a mini and lanes closed.....so the main road through the city was one BBBIIIIGGGGGGGGG car park! Icky icky icky!

And Michmels ARF was played just as I got to the back of the queue!!!!

And there's no alcolfol OR choc in the house.......but I aint going out there for nothing...uh na!!!!!!!

ebx

Welcome to the West country Ebs.x

Heard about the Tamar bridge off good ole Sal traffic.

They dont very often close that bridge.

It hasn't peaked yet.

MTF.xx

MTF - The out laws are supposed to be coming down tomorrow, and I'm not sure that would be a good idea, what do you think??

ebx

Ahoy ahoy!

The weekend is upon us - take away devoured - beer being consumed and the feeling of being confined to the house as the wind whistles down the chimney and roars around the rest of it....is delightful.

Just watching a recorded Shooting Stars before flicking back for HIGNFY.
What makes Vic and Bob saying the banal things that they do sooooo funny?

Hope you are all in an as equally hibernating frame of mind as me.

Evening each

So jealous of you Chris - in Ireland, the land of lovely friendly people.

MTF: You got Bridge problems too?

Back later when I've caught up with you lot. Anyone else in FNWC? Have only had a little glass of merrrrrlot as I overdid it last night!

xxxx

Ebs, best advise them to stay put, honestly, way too dodgy.

Rips seriously, is there anything funnier than the team that make up the 'Shooting Stars?'

Anne what was your cocktail again last night?

As for probs with Bridge, nope, we have a mutual admiration for one another. She knows I love her to bits, shhhh!

MTF.xx

MTF: Entirely too much vino collapso - G&Ts, red wine with chinese takeaway, followed by Benedictine!!!!! I blame shopaholic friend.

AND: drove her round Fife today, calling in at craft shops and garden centres. She's a gold medallist in shopping!!

xxxx

Right

Off to be taxi driver again.

Seza xXx

Just brilliant MTF - I shall be joining both you and Beez tomorrow (don't panic ladies!) and heading to our local butchers for a Sunday joint.

If ever a weekend made for a Sunday roast!

Hi Annie and all others....

Evening Rips

You in FNWC by any chance? xxx

twist and shout!

And hallo Deev, lovely girl. xxx

Anne we went to the home of Benedictene in Normandy a few years ago.

Think it was Fecamp with an accent over the e!

What a fabulous place, we bought a bottle from there and got it in a beautiful collectors tin.

Going to give you the facts now as they are written on the tin...

The secret of BENEDICTINE lies in the choice and harmony of its 27 plants and spices .
The quality of these ingredients gathered from the five continents , the traditional process by which it is made , and the ageing in oak barrels make BENEDICTINE unique , original and authentic .

The idea of the art exhibition "BENETICTINE , l'image en mouvement" is to confront the old posters of past masters with those of young contemporary creators , and to show that as a long tradition can be used as a springboard for current art.

Pour it over a little ice and BENEDICTINE will reveal the exoticism of its flavours . but the unique taste of BENEDICTINE can also be used in cocktails and long drinks , with tonic and fruit juices.

Lets just equate from that, that I have a very pretty tin.

Cointreau anyone??

MTF.xx

Annie - is the Cath a Popelic?

Rips

xxx

MTF: That's exactly where I bought my bottle of Benedictine - Fecamp - spooky, eh? And did you buy a crepe when you were there? Yummy.

Was in Normandy 6 years ago, the Benedictine Monastery was awesome.

Rips: that'll be a yes then?

howdie Annie! luverly lady.
