What a lovely post!!

Anyway, what's so funny about a sheep being on the advent calendar Cheryl, remember the shepherds watched their flocks!!

Ah, Christohpe, I'm sure Sir Terry was feeling in a similar state. I wonder who he used to listen to in the mornings...I couldn't stand the fact that our mum made us have it on instead of R1...now all I have is nostalgia!

Anyhoo, regarding the photoshoot for the Radio Times, red eyes are exactly what air-brushing was invented for...plus knocking a bit off the hips and upper arms, but that might just be me...

I have one more day's holiday to take before we stop on 23rd for a fortnight, so I am going to take it next Friday so that I can hear all of Terry's last show, I think it will be fab and also a real tear jerker, I start work at 8, so only ever catch him between 7.30 and 8.

Gail.

Afternoon CLP,

Glad you are fine and dandy today.

I am having a bad mascara day, thanks to Mr Wogan. Heard him on the radio just after 8 this morning, offering his thanks for such a wonderful day yesterday. Then he played " All the love in the world" , which kinda finished me off . Tears streaming , mascara gone ..........

Looking forward to your new show.

bye and thanks ,

Afternoon Chris,

Great post, Sir Tel is certainly a National Treasurer and a Legend. When I set my alarm last Sunday night, I thought that there are only two weeks left of Terry now there is only one. Then of course it dawned on me who was taking over and all was well with the world.

I think next Friday might see me shed a few tears and I am really not an emotional person at all.

I hope you've got a relaxing weekend lined up.

Just in case anyone is interested...Gin, sugar, lemon juice and fizzy water...although if you want a Diamond Fizz, is sparkly wine instead of fizzy water...is v-e-r-y tasty...

Cheers

Also listened to Terry this morning, he will be a hard act to follow, but if anyone can do it Christoph, you can. There's no need to worry about your photo shoot either, I can guarantee it will look great. It's amazing what they can do these days, ha ha only jesting!

Well put Chris. There is only one man who could possibly take over from Terry and you're it. Have loved listening to Terry in the mornings and you in the evenings but as well as being sad to see Terry go, I'm glad we get to listen to you in the mornings - might help wake me up too!

debs

CLP - I felt very moved listening to Terry this morning, in fact every day I've been feeling a bit more sad about him leaving. I've booked next Friday off to listen to the last show as well.

Still, I'm really looking forward to you taking over Chris, still a little doubtful about the evenings, but will give it a go!

JG x

Re tickets for the bash - nobody's come forward, so I thought maybe Margot, Boleyn or Dreamer??? I know Margot wants to go. Still haven't managed to print them off, so going to ring and ask what to do - maybe they will post them?

Pen - if you're brave enough to meet up with me, I could take your book and try to get it signed?

Darce x

Hey Darce...well done! And so kind of you offering them out...sure someone will snap your hand off when they read this!

Pen xx

Chris,

Your blog day is just beautiful. I have no doubt that you will have heard Terry this morning saying his thank you's to everyone. He is so fond of you, but I am sure you know that.

I haven't managed to get on the blog since all the excitement on Wednesday - I have still not recovered! Wonderful to see that you have invited more of your loyal bloggers - we are so lucky, and we know it. Chris and Clodagh: thank you.

Gail & JG: as I've said before, I am also having the day off next Friday to hear Terry. After this morning's show, I just know I am going to be in floods of tears. Can't wait for Chris to take over, but it will be so hard to see Terry go ...

MC: I just managed to stop crying, so I know how you felt this morning!

To everyone else: hope everything is ok - I will try to catch up with the blog, but it may be difficult!

C xx

I think Friday is going to be very teary - all round! Might have to make sure I have tissues in the car just in case!

Saw you on Chatty Man yesterday - only watched it for you and Mr McIntyre lol! (Miley was pretty cool too lol)

It's rolled round so quickly!

Afternoon All

Sir Terry was amazing this morning as always. Have just bought a huge stock tissues in reddiness for next friday.

I have received some freebie vouchers from Graze today - I'll pop one in with your Christmas card hon. Try going to graze dot com in the meantime!

Hello one and all,

Trouble is, that means I need to start something else!

Sorry I'm here to work - best get back to it

Ello Ter CLP & ALL,

Bingo Star ere.....

CLP - Your title sums up 'ow a feel at the moment but be it in a different way!!!!
I didn't wanter bring the blog down with negative comments az the blog iz such a positive place & me meself am a very positive person!!!
But this is what makes me a target for the parasites of this world!!!
The negative, miserable people who see someone like me - 'appy, positive, trying ter get ahead in life and fulfil my full potential!!!!! They attack me!!!!! ATTACK!!!!!
You touch on this in your book about this CLP: the negative people who try ter drain the positivity out of your vain's az they are so negative themselves there's no 'ope for them stuck in their little worlds of misery!!!!
And sadly a lot of them get inter jobs that give them a bit of authority over others and they use this power to bully people!!!!
Sadly I have been going through this at work for the past 6 months and have kept it quiet from the blog!!!
A thought me new job waz brill at first & do like me job a lot but one parasite 'as taken a BIG dislike ter me!!!! (And by the way - nobody at work knows about Bingo Star - a keep it MEGA stum - otherwise a would become a target!!!!)
The final straw came yesterday of which a won't go inter details but sadly the things that 'appen to me are making me noot sleep well at night and ruin my clear mind & sense of well being!!!
Ruin my creative authority of..... THE MIND!!!!!!!
Terdee a wanter practise me guitar, go the gym, do me maths 'omework, write on the blog... but me mind 'urts through stress & a lack of sleep all after working 13/ 14 'our dees & being bullied at the same time!!!!!!
A might ave ter go ter see me accupunturist for avery long session ter release the tension in me forehead!!!!!!
Sometimes a feel like 'itting these people az a am a BIG bloke but that's just not me... am not violent at all!!!!!
That's for the school playground & even then violence shouldn't be accepted anywhere!!!!
If a wanted ter 'it people a would join a boxing club!!!!!
And why would a wanter get involved in violence and end up with a criminal record??? It's just not me - a wouldn't lower meself ter such low 'eights all because of some negative idiot using their authority over me at work ter bully me!!!!
So a try ter sort it out the correct/ diplomatic way - a see me manager - put a complaint in about the situation and nothing gets done..... except the bullying intensifies az a result!!!!!!
Slowly these 'orrible people as much as yer might try ter resist them, they do use their authority over you to penetrate your life & ruin parts of your life!!
Last night I got 'ome & just felt drained after working two days of long shifts & being bullied at the same time.
I've writted bits of a song to do with this from a similar past experience of 'parasite power trippers' az a call them!!!!!
Robbie Williams a few years ago did a great song about this too.... Called 'Tripping!!!' (a great song ter dig out for yer show playlist CLP man) It's about people attacking you, abusing their power & trying ter resist becoming violent!!!!! One of me fav Robbie tunes.... MEGA bridge in it!!!!!!!
Any way by coincidence last night I opened my guitar case just ter practice my guitar for 20 mins & amongst all the papers I 'ave from the guitar class, I used ter go too, waz a song that a waz given but ave noot 'ad a chance ter learn ter play yet.... and WHATTA COINCIDENCE.... it sums up similar ter the song ave written and what am going through!!!!!!!
And do yer know what...... it just brings back ter me, just 'ow much.... makes me realise 'ow much a must not ever accept that I will one dee end up a broken person in the nasty state that these negative people are!!!!!!
A tell meself am am so much better than them & will never rise ter their negativity!!!!!!
I realise that I should keep my faith, my dream of music, of show bizz, of trying ter get out my talents I know I ave deep inside me & that what makes me a magnet, a target ter these 'oribble people!!!!!!
And der yer know what does make me realise this....... music itself!!!!!!

And ere iz the song below that 'elps make me realise this & sums up exactly 'ow a felt last neet & brought a tear ter me eye....... Only a very small tear though!!!!!!!

'Why Worry' written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits >>>>>>


Baby.... I see this world has made you sad.......

Some people can be bad......

The things they do, the tings they say.

But baby.... i'll wipe away those bitter tears....

I'll chase away those restless fears.

That turn your blue skies into grey.......

CHORUS:

Why worry..... There should be laughter after pain.......

There should be sunshine after rain......

These things have always been the same......

So why worry now?????........... Why worry now??????


Baby...... when I get down I turn to you.........

And you make sense of what I do.....

I know it isn't hard to say.......

But Baby.... just when this world seems mean and cold.......

Our love comes shining red and gold.....

And the rest is by the way!!!!!

Then the CHORUS AGAIN!!!!!! Yes again blog friends!!!!!

Plus ere it iz on the YouTube if any wanter peek..... of the emotive sound of The Knopflier Dude!!!!! Sorry Kopfler!!!!!



So for my ARF CLP - It's gotta be Why Worry, the acoustic version, by Dire Straits!!!!!!!
And if yer can't do it terdee, sneak it in next week's playlist..... an awesome beautiful Dire Straits tune!!!!
It'll enhance yer show & yer don't even 'ave ter say it waz from me!!!!!

PPS On a 'appy final note - CLP can a just say yer a VERY, VERY nice bloke ter include the extra bloggers ter the BIG Drivetime Farewell Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A waz worried there might be a few very sad nice bloggies out there but all iz ok!!!!!
Az it will be with me personal life!!!!!

GOURANGA 2009 INTER 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#47 - A number a like very much but a can't talk about ere az it'll get me inter BIG trouble!!!!!!

Big hugs to you, you always brighten my day with your blogs.

Bingo - it's hard to know what to say except to remember that anyone who bullies is by definition a coward and is sadly lacking in character. No one could say that about you, my friend. Keep your integrity and you'll be just fine.

Beez - wasn't Paddy just awesome on QT last night. And my theory about Dianne Abbott and Michael Portillo being half cut on This Week was borne out when Andrew Neil said they'd been out for a boozy dinner before the programme. I reckon they do that every week!

Advent calendar - a elf again please Deev.

Bad move Beez - shouldn't have watched that clip after reading Bingo's post. Be strong Bings - you are lovely and bullies are only jealous eejits. Big 'ug.

Off to put me make up back on again...

Ello Dudes - Thanks for yer kind words, a don't wanter bring the blog down after such a MEGA week on the blog what with CLP's Gig..... a 'ope all ave a good weekend and we've goot the Drivetime Gig ter look forward too!!!!!!

Az for these parasites of the world.... Yes sometimes they do interupt our lives/ progress but at the end of the dee, they just make me even more DETERMINED ter resist them and succeed & ter NEVER ever end up becoming like them!!!!!!!

The same goes for anyone reading this...... az CLP gives that bit of awesome advice at the end of some of 'is show's!!! And a love 'earing it from someone of 'is stature...... 'Keep away from the bad people, they're noot worth yer time!!!!!!!!'

I admit noot always that easy when they get inter a position of authority/ power over you..... but still..... a piece of real positive advice!!!!!!

Chow!

Ello Beezer, thanks for all yer 'ugs lately!!!@!@!@!!@!!!@!!!!
The blogger who's 'name am noot allowed ter mention' who doesn't do 'other 'alves', will be aving words with yer at this rate of 'ugs!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

When a say other 'alves.... from what a see of the lemonade with a kick aka the G&T's tell me about it!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
In fact a don't do lemonade with a kick 'alves either!!!!!!!

Bye!

Did I miss the announcements?.......is it really "confuse a blonde day" and "make someone think they are mad day" today?

Honestly! You type up a letter for someone to sign, leave it on their desk clipped to the spider scratched original only hours later for them to say "was there something attached to this?" waving said original complete with clip sans typed version. Play hunt the desk/office/building only to find out that someone else picked up letter as they could hand deliver it this afternoon - collared signator in the corridor and got them to sign it 10 minutes ago!

Argh!

Quack

Afternoon,

Chris I really don't know how you fit it all in - must be the Joi de Vivre you convey so well in all you do that carries you through when the tanks are running near empty.
Long may it continue.....

OK - don't tell anyone but I'm gonna go home make sure the new whistle fits and catch 40 winks before anyone gets home.
Late night last night and big one tonight.....I'm too old for this!

Hi everyone, hope you're well?

It must have been such a great lunch yesterday for Sir Tel. One of my earliest memories is sitting in my high chair in the kitchen with radio 2 on in the background. I really have grown up with Radio 2 (apart from a few teenage years dallying with Radio 1), will miss the Togmeister in the mornings but really looking forward to waking up with CLP!

Hope everyone's had a great Friday, sooo foggy here in Edinburgh, stay safe anyone who has to go out driving in it tonight.

Rx

Am feeling your need JG!

I have a horrible feeling I have agreed to go on holiday with my parents in law & one day, when we meet & have a lot of wine & a lot of time, I'll tell you why that might not be a good idea!

Seza xxx

Hi Rosie

Foggy here too

Hiding indoors watching telly, got chocs too!!

Seza xxx

Seza you got the right idea!!!

Rx

Don't even have to run the usual taxi service cos no scouts tonight!

Yeay

Where's that wine??

Seza xxx

Bingo, BIG HUGS!! Others have said it better than me, but you are definitely the better man for not reacting and sinking to their level. Keep blogging and keep your dreams alive too. I love those lyrics and now that I've downloaded SILVER BELLS - thanks for the link Hellen Bach - I'm off to find that song too.

Sounds like the blogging anticipation is still building towards the 23rd, it'll be fab. But will anyone burst with excitement beforehand??

Sorry I can't keep up with all the 'appenings during the day, I can't blog at work - I sit next to my boss and her boss nowadays so it's a bit obvious... Screenwipe moments courtesy of Beez, Bingo, Clodagh and so many others would not do much for my cred - I'm the sensible one in t'office, heaven help 'em!

But I'm home now and wondering whether to go red or white with the quiche that's heating up even as I type... I need to go out early tomorrow, so maybe the answer is a small-ish, dry white.

Whatever you choose, cheers and hugs to one and all!

Ann xxx

PS Beez - do we feel a campaign coming on for 'DSMN' for the final ARF?? That is a front-runner, but I'm guessing there are a few more that we'd be more than happy to hear...

Seza - yes please still to Sunday - really looking forward to it!

Annie O - I have the same thing - sit in a really small project office Mon & Tue but am OK for the rest of the week, sometimes when this lot are on fire takes an age to catch up just 2 days!

MC - just about to put 'a pie' in the oven for me tea - yum yum yum

Was gonna cook - but after all tree dressing round 1 - more tomorrow and card writage (all done!) decided easy option and glass of wine was betterer option!

right - having been up at silly o clock - I might not last the course so excuse me know sorry now if I dont re-appear!

have fun you lot!

Gingembre, if your train stops at Stratford, you're best placed getting off there for the 02. Head for the Jubilee Line - it's 4 stops (or 6 minutes to be precise)- North Greenwich.

From Liverpool Street you will need to link with the Jubilee Line and change trains and stuff. Ugh!

I'm going to look for a red Santa cowgirl hat tomorrow. No guarantees it'll make it to "la bash" as we're out on "la lash" tomorrow pm so it may well get its first Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw of the season soon after it's procurement!
