Enjoy your rest CLP, I'm not surprised you've skipped the gym!

JG x

JG - have you put your Love Fool request in for ARF yet?

Feet up - atta boy !!

Got to say it haven't I ???

Love the show

just zipping outa here - pronto>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Beez xx

HRH Queen Moira has an even better ring to it.

There really was a good mix of music today - Papa Loves Mambo was a great one to get dressed to! And loved the grandad-to-be with his megaphone :-)

Have a great weekend bloggers x

Why are the newsreaders all named after food?

Vanilla Fudge
Hickory Salmon
Moira Stewed Heart.

And wasn't there a DJ called BLT?

MW, a!

Slightly off topic (Blast, more blummin food..)

Wassup MWa, training for a marathon? (ooops, you have to snicker don't you?)

mtd ffb xxx

Chris,

I know I keep saying it, but I can't help myself - you have changed our entire morning routine, it's quite incredible! Even my lovely 18 year old daughter said this morning "I'm starting to see what you love about Chris Evans"!

Hope you, Tash and Noah have a lovely weekend.

Love, Chrissie xx

P.S. If you bump into Nick/Gareth this evening - just remember his name is Gavin!

Chris, Loved the show as usual, particularly The Mavericks - Cha Cha Cha music daaahlink...Just a quick suggestion - you could play Love Fool by The Cardigans on Monday....

Cheers.

Nic

Afternoon all.

You lot have had me in stitches. Thank you for brightening up a dreary rainy Friday. You've certainly livened up Simons blog. Loved the joke Uncle Carl- bit norty but funny! Spike is verrrry norty!

Will listen to see if Simon plays The Cardigans at 5.

Off to lurk, Mcw x

It gets worse mtd ffb.

Crisp Evans
Simon Mayo (obvious one there)
Terry Rogan
Johnny Walkers...

I guess if you have the lot in one go you will Heave Right

Oh dear..

MW, a!

Relax and enjoy Christoff, it'll Monday morning before you know it.

The granddad to be was simply brilliant. Also love the golden oldie, probably because I am one!

Just one thing can you play an elongated tune about 7.45, something like MacArthur Park (only kidding) so that I can have my shower without missing anything.

Hello to everyone else.

Pen xx

btw did I mention.....love the show!

Sorry Chris, forgot to mention that I really loved the show this morning. Enjoyed listening to the little boy who went to the Recycling Centre. Loved the Beatles....reminded me too of an advert....

Now really must go,

Mcw x

lol - I'll give you Love Fool!

Chris, so the end of week 2 and its getting bettererer and bettererer by the day.

One thing .... the cockerel. I keep wanting to belt out Good Morning by The Beatles. Can we praps have that on Monday morning at 7.05 to start the new week as part of the Beatles brace?!? Maybe with a side order of Revolution?

Maybe?!?!?

Anyhooo chief, and everyone else, have a fantastic weekend - I'm pretty darned sure I will!

Deevs
xxxx

Oh yes, forgot the ickle fella, loved it when he gave it 9 out of 10 because of the smell...............classic.

Pen xx

Penny - just get some of the 24-hour antipersperant stuff. Shower on Sunday evening and that'll see you through till Monday night. It doesn't stain your clothes either, so you can sleep in them too!

I should charge for this service....

Penny - the little fella with the recycling tale took my mind straight back to when I worked at Suffolk's MRF (Materials Recycling Facility) near Ipswich. And yes, they can hum!!

xx

Oops forgot....

CLP - Love The Show!

MW, a! - Excellent. Lovin' your work! Eat well.

Nic

unle-carl, lol, don't give up the day job!

Pen xx

uncle, doh!

Have a lovely weekend Chris.

Have just watched the Darts video - How much fun did that look!! You and Jonny looked liked you had a ball, well, you did! But how big are Barry George's arms?? Must be lifting all that bling

I had a real Dragon's Den idea the other day when I was reading this ere blog. You could get a selection of DJ's to record a load of generic links. For example, you could have an older gentleman with a mellow tone saying " and there's a classic track from an old favourite" and "something easy there to wake you up gently". Then the links could be downloaded to your mp3 player. You would then play them randomly amongst your own chosen playlist and voila, your own personal radio show. No nasty tracks that you don't like and always the DJ of your choice.

Simples!!

Now, where, that Duncan Bannatyne when you need him

Seza xxx

Afternoon 1 and all, have to 'fess slept in this morning! Heard Moira's dulcit tones and the first toon and promptly shut my little peepers and nodded off! Good job I made the sarnies last night or the little cherrubs would have nowt to eat at school.
Had a conversation with the kids last night and they came up with CYGNETS 'Chris's young geezers/gals not El Tel's' Waddya think of that?

Later peeps the darlings have arrived home - roll on the weekend. x

BLYipE

Woohoo MWa!
-
I had a splutter-tea-into-keyboard moment - then another [Terry Rogan!]- genuine laugh out loud stuff. Thanks :)


*conspiracy theory of the day*
I think CLP waits until there are at least 250 replies to his previous blog before he writes a new one



:)
BabyDriver
Loves the show ...hits the road and is gone ...

MCW: I completely forgot that this morning I was dancing around the room to Twist & Shout - unfortunately I'm not quite as skinny as the lassie in the advert!

Very, very funny about The Cardigans - hope Simon plays it!

I can see there may be a bit of a power-struggle going on between CLP's blog and Simon's!

C xx

Seza,

Excellent idea. Wonder whether Deevs' Force the Horse idea would "sell" i.e. like Hole in The Wall, just with horses...

Nic

x

Chrissie, I think it's more of a crossblog fertilisation thing....

Nic

x

more foody DeeJays -

Ken Juice
Sarah Kidney
Alex Leicester
Richard Allinsons
Stewed Maconie




XX
I'm gone! honest

Surely Stewed Macaroni?

I concede. I know when I've been whipped....

MW, a!

Stuart Macaroni - perhaps?





xx deffo gone now having loved the blog

Seza,

Genius idea! You could add additional things like the Shipping Forecast too, just to make it more appealing to the Radio 4 listener- doesn't need to be accurate, no one understands it anyway :-)

Afternoon CLP,

Thanks for the thanks! You're on a slippery path here though...turning into another Bingo!!

Good to hear the C song this morning - my 8yo particularly enjoyed it!

Nic: yes, I agree, and it should be good fun!

x

Hmmpfppp Im still being modded on the other side - how come Beez got through straight away, favouritism from the mayo......

Deev I thought you were going at 4...

mtd ffb xxx

OK - I have just blogjacked mayonnaise.

MTD - no idea - perhaps because I am such a nice person ;o)) I did get modded to start with, but then I appeared after about 5 minutes. Obviously slow readers - sorry modders - ooops.

Brilliant stuff Mwa and Babydriver - definitely tea screen moment.

Beez xx

mtd, ffb

I am desperate to escape, believe me! As soon as she gives me the nod, I'm outta here.

I've got 2 x 4 day weeks left after today tho - s'nice!

Deevs
xxx

Uncle Carl

I thought you could also have a selection of emails being read out, if you put enough in by the time each one comes round, you'll have forgotten it!!

At least, I would!! ;-)


A general variety of weather would cover most U.K. days and the traffic could just say that the Cockbridge to Tomentaal (sp) pass was closed!!

Seza xxx

Seza

You could probably use a podcast from STW - his correspondence didn't change much as there seemed to be endless innuendo (Clodagh excepted of course)

Add a bit about the M6 toll and M25 to the traffic for a bit of variety. Not forgetting a few trailers for your show....

mtd ffb xxx

We could be onto something here Blog Buddies

Now, who wants to tackle Peter Jones??

xx

Seza,

Put `Snake Pass' in your traffic report - it's always closed....

We could go on here forever, but the M5/M6 car park every evening plus the 10 mile queue on a Friday.

Beez xx

Shhh Beez - Deevs is still here she's going that way isn't she???

mtd ffb xxx

mtd - good point!

Beez - don't mention the M6 being closed for flooding, ok?

:-)

Carl - I wont if you dont.

Beez xx

Seza, No way am I tackling Peter Jones, he's way too big! And that woman would strike me dead with a steely look from 100 yards...

Nic

x

Oklydkly fellas,

Am outta here to go do something a little more constructive. Table tennis on the Wii possibly.

Glad to bring a smile or two.

Oh, before I go I would like to say that smoking is bad for you. Yep, you heard it here first. Just lit up and the lighter exploded in my hand and face. If anyone has a spare eyebrow or two, could ya send them on?

MW, a!

Seza,

Don't forget your listener contributions:

Dear (insert DJ's name here).

Love the Show!

Why is Ant of Ant & Dec called Ant and why is Dec called Dec? Surely as Dec is the shorter of the two, he should be called Ant and as Ant has the hairline of a man who has spent too much time standing on the bow of a cross-channel ferry, he should be called Dec?

Yours,

Confused of Chubby Bottom.

Blimey Mwa - you OK????

Uncle Carl - hilarious !!! and so true..........

Beez xx

Carl/CCB, people will pay good money for that quality comedic observation. Brilliant!

Nic

Work has been so busy this week I have not managed to get online at all. So here I am home with nothing planned in my pj's with a cuppa and I am not moving!!!!!

Hope everyone is ok!

Have a great weekend x x

MW'a,

Just cause you ent got no eyebrows left, dont thinks you can pluck mine now, my face likes em !!!

Relax CLP you work too hard to be going to the gym anyhows, great show again this morning, roll on Monday (never thought I would ever hear myself say that, I hate mondays lol)

Errol xxx

Don't worry Errol,

Yours are a bit grey for my liking.

Anyhoo, riddle me this... why is it - on Wiiddle - there is a man that plays table tennis with his show, I mean shoe??

Confused and singed MW, a!

MW,a - hope you're OK. Did I hear it was your birthday on Sunday? If so have a great day and try not to get too close to the cake at candle blowing-out time... :-)

Hi Uncky Carl,

Yep it is. I will bear in mind the candles but there's not that many going on it (ha, yeah right) so should be OK.

Fire brigade will be on stand by though.

MW, a!

Heading off home shortly, and very glad to be doing so!

Can I just say:

Carl: you must, simply MUST start sending in these beauties to Chris! You are quite hilarious, as I am always saying.

MTD & Beez: I have to say that both of you notice so much of what is happening to everyone on the blog, and you are so supportive. I'm not saying the rest of us don't, but you know what I mean. I said this to you, Beez, in Liverpool.

To anyone lurking, I'm thinking of MC, Tinsel, Crumpy, hopefully Hazel and MTF: hope you are all ok.

Have a good weekend, all.

C xx

Evening Christoff!

I do hope you are taking it easy given the early start you have each day! Yeah, I know you've done it before, but your circumstances are different now, eh? I'm sure Noah is no where near the handful that our baby Highland Lass is, but they can be exhausting even when on their best behaviour!

Thoroughly enjoying the show, even though I have to wake up earlier than I normally would to listen!! I'm thinking I need to phone for the 'hello / goodbye' bit and teach you all some Gaelic! The team you have around you, as I've said before, are brilliant and a credit to the ´óÏó´«Ã½!

Huggles

Susan

PS MW,a! You are missed frae next door! You ok hon? As is MTF!

Oh and I saw the ad with yourself and Sir Tel today! Classic!!

Highland Lass,

Yep, I'm fine. I struggle to find the time to devote to my studies of procrastination, so something had to go.

MW, a!

Phew, I am so glad it's Friday night, and I can have a bit of a lie in tomorrow, not much of one mind, as the dog's going to the groomers.

I'm absolutely shattered and have yawned my way through the day!

I'm really enjoying the show too, listening from 7.30 until about 8.45. I haven't been able to put it on from the start this week, due to Mr JG's shifts, but hopefully can next week.

Loved the megaphone this morning, so funny and moving!

Uncle Carl, didn't get chance to go on Mayonnaise's blog, been too busy at work the past few days, hence my absence. Was just lucky the spare five minutes I had was as the new blog appeared.

MW,a - hope you're OK, you seem to have been a bit unlucky with inanimate objects recently!

JG x

Have a great weekend all.

I hope that those of you who aren't feeling to good improve soon.

Back under the rock I go.

Thunder

Oh, and I don't know if anyone has a relatively new n0kia phone, but if you go to their website you can get their maps applications for free, indefinately - which is a pretty good app by all accounts!

JG x

Hi Chris,
Love the show, hope you are still on the sofa or stillplaying with baby Noah?
Like to say hello to the cheznic's who live in Cheznica, is that in Poland, very sweet!
Hi to everyone
Lol csn xxx

Oh, it's really quiet in here for a FNWC!

Oh well, will go and find a life somewhere...lol

JG x

yes very quiet to night, JG. Maybe everyone's out having a good time. I'm at home cooking a cottage pie, showing my age now.

csn. xxx

CSN, Greetings from Cheznicia...is gud yes...
Morrocan lamb stew in oven, wine poured and just waiting for the Micra to arrive to share aforementioned stew.

Good times!!

Nic

xx

Oh and Johnny Cash on the CD!!

Nic

xx

Well, I got me a pizza, but please don't tell Mr JG, as there will be a row!

I like cottage pie/shepherds pie with veggie mince, but Mr JG hates mash, so I can't make it :(

JG x

Off to eat some food!

JG x

Well, lots and lots of love to both of you. meal sounds fantastic, have a great weekend.

lol. csn. xxxxxxxxx

Nic,
Hope it's not to cold in Poland, but i'm sure you will be keeping warm.

csn. xxx

The Micra has landed..offski nowski...is gud yes!

Nic

xx

Now that i have changed my diet (not veggie anymore)I'm off to the smoke tomorrow for the pie/mash shop... 2 pies, mash and liquor and plenty of vinegar ummm lush... got 20 years to make up for....

Chris how do you feel listening to your own voice? I cringe if i hear mine.


Loli x

Hi all, just a suggestion JG, try thinly sliced potatoes on top instead of mash, yummy!

Ta ta Lin x

Evening everyone, have missed the last couple of days' blogging action as my laptop died, grrr!!! But, with some help I've managed to hook up my old one , though it doesn't have a wireless card but hey ho at least I'm back online. Main laptop will be whisked away to laptop hospital next week sometime as luckily it was still under warranty. So it may tale me a wee while to catch up with the goings on over the last couple of days...

Anyhow hope you're all ok and having fun on FNWC, working tomorrow but am feeling the need to pour myself a glass so off to the fridge I go!

Rx

Lin, thanks, I might try that next week when he's supposed to be on days! Although I think he's staying on until 10pm on Tues and Weds :(

Oh, just got a VERY late Christmas card, but it is from our sponsored child in Senegal, so we are chuffed to bits!

JG x

Hiya

I'm here now I've finished tonights Mum's taxi run.

And i've persuaded Mr Seza to make the pick up so I'm in the wine club too.

JG Nice to hear about your sponsored child. Do you have a boy or girl and how long have you know them? Is something I've thought of before but not got further than thinking

Hi to Rosie & Loli & everyone else

xxx

Seza, ours is a girl, which is what Mr JG asked for, we've known this one for a year or so, and the previous one for three years (she got to age 17, and her father moved them as he found work, so they came out of the program).

My niece writes to the current one, as we don't know what to write!

We sponsor through world vision, but there are others...

JG x

JG That sounds good. I will look into it more, but it may not be at the moment

Quiet here tonight, isn't it.

Is the party under the rock tonight?

xx

Am watching Silent Witness, but slept through most of it last night....

I've no idea what is going on!

JG x

Good evening and Hello .
How are we all tonight ???? in fine feckle I hope.
Me I've just achieved my ELH shop on line and It only took me one hour tonight as of last week three ,that's a big improvement eh!!!!.

Chris ,nice to see that things are settling into place for you now .
I did view the darts and I did enjoy and well done on getting double sixteen .

Has My friend flown past yet ,or is she still grounded.???

Have skimmed the posts tonight and I see that's it's a far happier nowthan what it has been .

Bids.xxx.

I'm so glad it's not just me!

I thought I'd watched last night & I still don't understand it!

xx

Only thing I really understand about this Silent Witness is it was directed by Sue Tully who used to be in Grange Hill!!

xxx

Hellooo tis I way down here in the wild west!!

sorry i'm a bit late but GD had a friend for tea, and its Friday so she doesn't go to bed as early as in the week! I guess that's one of the things about them getting older - you don't have your evenings to yourself quite so much!

Have been consuming a nice dry white for the last couple of hours though - went very well with the home-made pizza that me and small boy did for tea!!

Happy weekend, everyone!!

CG xx

Seza - was that Sue Tully who was Michelle in Eastenders too? although I remember her best from Grange Hill - just as Todd Carty will always be Tucker to me!!

CG xx

I think Mr JG is watching upstairs, he went for a shower and never returned!!

I'm still none the wiser....!

JG x

CG, yes, that's the one!

JG x

Plenty of old 'enders in this one!

JG x

CG yes, that's her! apparently she went into directing after Eastenders.


Hmmm, Tucker! Aaahhh...............

Silent W very confusing!!

JG, sure Mr JG hasn't just fallen asleep?

xx

Who's the police lady with the long curly hair?

I know her from something too

xx

Hello girls - Watching Silent witness and I watched too last night - erm - erm.....................

JG I think Mr JG gone to bed!

Beez xx

Sez I think it was spooks? ? praps not??

Beez xx

Oh good Beez, can you tell us all what's going on then please?

Ta muchly!

btw just seen in my local paper that Jeremy Sheffield who is Dancing on Ice comes from a nearby small town, Coggeshall. Of course this means I shall have to follow his progress very closely.

You know, to support a local not because I'll get any pleasure from it of course! ;-)

xxx

I'm not watching this Silent Witness but I do usually like that sort of thing, along with CSI and Waking the Dead etc etc. have to cloudplus them and watch when Mr CG out cos he always moans he can never figure out the plot! he has been known to watch the whole thing and still not get what has happened!

Must admit I do have to concentrate quite hard on WTD though - blink and you miss something!!

and am loving the new Hustle series!!

did you figure out who the curly-haired one is?!


CG xx

Not yet CG, will have to watch the titles & try to see her name

Problem is I'm not sure what her character name is.

No hope really is there?

xx

PS Love Hustle too, boys like it too so tend to record it & watch with them

No, Mr JG still winding me and his brother up on FB, he's still awake, and he's also in the spare room!!

I know that cos the wi-fi doesn't reach to the bedroom, such is the mansion (NOT) that we live in!!

JG x

i remember Coggeshall from when I lived in Chelmsford for a few years! maybe that's a good excuse for me to cheer him on as well (or is that too tenuous?!)

CG xx

Having been a TYG (and more latterly a TOG having passed my 45th birthday!) I don't mind admitting that I was a little concerned about the change. I mean, I loved CLP on Drivetime - ARF blasting out on the way home from work, Fox the Fox, What's in the Locker, the D Spot - loved it all. I was concerned at how this would "translate" in to OMGitsearly time. I was used to a gentle introduction to my working day from STW, which woke me up kindly. Now I get woken up with a FIZZ BANG WALLOP! and the deliciously dulcet tones of Dame Moira. Why, oh why, was I even a little bit worried? I am lovin' the energy poppin' out of my radio!

My only criticism, if there is one, is that I've never liked the C Spot. Not the spot itself, but the song. I was always a fan of the D Spot - Deliliah sung in all languages and by a myriad of people - Brilliant!

Anyhoo, coming to the end of my second ever post on this blog. Keep it up, oh Ginger One!

Lolliesmum

Nope CG, sounds like you really should support him

Think he needs all the support he can get!!

xxx

well I'm always willing to support those in need!! and he seems such a nice young man too! (well, probably not that young, but you know what i mean! - best Dolly and Jean voice - who was talking about dinnerladies the other day?!).

Hello Lolliesmum and welcome to the FridayNightWineClub!! although the wine isn't compulsory!!

CG xx

Curly haired one was also in 'enders, but I don't know who she is, or she was! I'm not really up on TV/film stuff!

Oh, and Mr JG is currently trying to sell my Merc to his brother, so, yes, he's definately awake, but might be knocked unconscious (sp) soon!!!

JG x

ooh - have just put telly on - and Popstar to Operastar is on!! luckily I am cloud+ing it !! how could i have forgotten!

and Alan Carr on Wossy later!! thank god for whoever invented that "plus" thing!!

let me know when you figure out who that woman is!!

CG xx
