Good Luck!

Seza xx

Morning Christoff

I think the thumb thing must be your age, esp with the birthday tomorrow.

Good luck with the sculling, watch it getting in and out, that's the tricky part. ;)

A

Morning Sez

If it's in the Thames, that will be worth watching on the video!

A

Andy, I'm freezing just thinking about it!! Mad!

Meant to say hello to KW & Susie & Pip

Nice to see you, hope you're all well.

KW How's the new job going? Are you still training or have they let you loose yet?

Seza xx

PS, MC I'm also battling the paper mountain so before I have a week off. Am going back in, I may be some time!

Chris, send Happy Birthday wishes to Johnny.

Thanks. MTF.xx

Morning all

Hi to everybody else.

Is it just me or....

Is this week feeling as long as a normal one?

MTF.xx

Hopefully it'll get better tomorrow MTF - we'll realise that it's the last day of the week.

mtd ffb xxx

Yes, roll on tomorrow.

Thursday is the new Friday.

Thanks mtd.

MTF.xx

Hi Chris: with regard to your new phone, my advice is ditch it: I loathe mobile phones and long for the days when we had red phone boxes on every corner!

Both you and Jonny take care today - I do think this is just a little crazy!

Jonny: happy birthday - hope you have a great day - after your "bits" have recovered!

Hi everyone else - hope all is well.

C xx

Sorry, forgot to say Happy Birthday Jonny! x x

I think it will really feel like the weekend is coming when we hear the Candyman tomorrow!

Nearly there!

hope all of you in this bad weather are ok, am thinking of you

Seza x x

Chris,

Never liked rowing but good luck you mad crazy fools! What is it next week - shin kicking?
Thumbs up.

Nic

What about sumo wrestling, anyone suggested that yet?

Book me a ringside seat now!

MTF.xx

Nic

I thought Chris said he was sculling, as they are using two oars, rowing is using just one. (pernickerty I know).

Blimey Bigo you're keeping the mods busy this morning!

A

MTF

There's not enough spare on either Jonny or Chris for sumo, stick wrestling more like.

A

Bingo, I thought you might have got in before the lunchbreak. Look like you have hit elevenses.

MTF.xx

First one has now cleared the fence Bingo, just waiting on the other three! ;)

Morning Big Chief CLP, et al . .

Firstly, many happy returns to yourself and the big JS for this week - I trust you'll all celebrate in true style . .

all well over here in Norn Irn, save for the storms, snow and suffering . . .!!

DtM

Andy,

Well done, you have outpedanticked me! lol

Nic

Andy, I think they are well matched.

A show of hands for anyone wanting a ringside seat for the Evans/Saunders Sumo showdown.

MTF.xx

Ello Andy & MTF - Yep there getting there.... one by one!!!!!!

Take a looook at me link on the first one.... it's AWESOME & a 'ope it brightens everyone's dee for a while.... takes them from where they are now.... ter being in the link!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye!

Does anyone remember way back on Blue Peter when John Noakes did a kind of slim line sumo which involved two blokes wearing long john type garments? Was done in a circle, maybe at a fair or summat? I am thinking it was either Up t'North or Tibet or somewhere like that ! (she says running away like the softie southerner she is)

I can picture Chris and Jonny doing that!

Seza x x

Seza

That was cumberland wrestling, if my memory is right.

First one to be thrown of their feet.

Could be a goer

A

Ha ha ha.

Have just seen the tenpin bowling video. Such fun and great dancing Johnny!

Love the incorporation of the Steptoe theme tune when Chris is bowling!

MTF.xx

Seza, have you tried googling it?

Andy T

Am seriously impressed now. Put yourself up there with Prof Brian Cox on answering the difficult questions in life

That's the very thing! I seem to remember there were coloured pants involved but that might be a different childhood memory!

Laters!

Seza xx

Hello Everybody Peeps,

Happy birthday Jonny. Chris is so accurate saying you're 14 today! You are like an excited teenager before the hormones and weird occurrences in the brain development. Btw, had to get out the car at 9.15 before you had opened your pressie. I hope it was a good one and that you like it.

Chris - loved the mystery guest interview this morning. Once again, it had me smiling from ear to lug. Loved it. You're fab at the interviewing bit and she was a lovely interviewee.

Like the idea of sumo wrestling and how's about Thumb Wrestling? It always ends up in full-scale war in our house.

MTF - heard your mensh on Simon Mayo's show last night - good news on the Swallows.

Haven't managed to catch up on the rest of yesterday's blog but just had to tell you all I did something for the first time yesterday - I ran (willingly and not just trying to dodge the raindrops - it was a proper run (well my version of a proper run, a lot of peeps would call it a jog)) in the rain last night. It was fabby but not as fabby as the lovely warm lavender bath I had when I got back home.

Btw MC - how's your running going? I'm enjoying it more than I would have thought. I'm hopeless running on my own but I really enjoy running with the others in the club.

Really sorry to hear about the awful weather north of the border - I hope it all clears away soon. I bet you're all fed up to the back teeth with it. I'm heading for Fife on Saturday and am hoping it won't be a repeat of our drive up at Christmas.

Bingo - you'll have a fab time in the Highlands, pity the new girlf can't make it.

Today's scores on the doors for pedantry, Andy 1 - Nic 0 ;) Well done, Andy. ;) Just joking Nic - I think you're a lovely guy really.

Anyhoo, work to be done :( Back during my lunchbreak.

Hope all's well with you lovely bloggers.

GailyB

Row, Row,Row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, Merrily
Merrily, Merrily life is but a dream.

Hello Christophe and all bloggers and happy birthday to Johnny.

Throw the phone into the Thames CLP. Ihave an uncomplicated mobile for emergencies only.

The horrible weather has come to us here in Wirral, no snow but very strong wind and rain, the fence looks dodgy, hope it stays up.

Must go now, feeling hungry.

MK

Bingo: I would be delighted to meet you for lunch on the 20th - I shall endeavour to contact you on FB! Don't worry, I'll make sure you get to your London train in plenty of time!

Gaily: well done on the running - the closest I come to running is when I break into a trot in order to catch my train!

MC: I did see your previous posts regarding your brother having his bag stolen last week. Glad to see the passport problem was resolved - no doubt their trip to New York will be wonderful!

Annie: thank you for your wee mention about the snow. I can't tell you how grateful I was when I looked out the window this morning and it was all gone. I really feel for those who are having a terrible time just now. The weather in Northern Ireland sounds like a nightmare.

MTF: not too sure if I want a ringside seat at the sumo wrestling - those "outfits" are fairly revealing!

C xx

Aw Chrissie - you've got me coming over all unnecessary there with your talk of revealing outfits.......(a ringside seat in those circumstances would be verrry interesting).

Did anybody hear the trailer for CLP on drivetime last night where he was talking about removing his socks - that sent my imagination off big time....................

mtd ffb xxx

MC - just caught up on yesterday's blog - I bet your brother and his girlf will have a great time in NY. Lucky duckies.

Nic - 's okay - takes more than that to upset me - glad to see you're being inclusive and including me in your pernickety-ness - or as my younger gorgeous boy says perSnickety - me being as much of a pedant as you, I always correct him. Good game, good game!

GailyB

Mtd, that was after he had taken his slippers off. He was heading off to Disneyland on Friday, straight after the show and had turned up in his slippers.

Hilarious banter between him and Moira!

So, how any ringside seats are taken now you have worked out why I want to be so close LOL!!!

MTF.xx

I think 'ring side seat' may take on a different meaning, in relation to those Sumo outfits!

Nic & GB thank you to my fellow pedants, somehow when people call me one they seem to think it's an insult!

A

What was that all about - Chris turning up to work in his slippers? I have nearly left the house with my slippers on but have always realised just before I step over the threshold. CLP must have gazillions on his mind to not notice that. Bless him - he is gorgeous tho'.

I turned up for work one day (PA to a one-time wealthy dude), and had to ring my boss to get him out of his bed and when he opened the door he had on a thin cotton dressing gown that was long enough but edge to edge only just covered his modesty and which was held in position with a brown leather belt (the sort you'd wear with jeans). He topped it all off with a pair of yellow Turkish slippers - the ones that turn up at the toes. Amazingly, neither one of us batted an eyelid, I went in and cracked on with some work and he disappeared off upstairs to get dressed. Oh how I miss working for him! Loads more stories but not really suitable for sharing on a public blog.

GailyB

Afternoon everyone ,

Blimey , its blowing a right gale round here today.

Nic, good luck with the reconciliations, I'm doing the P60's and P35's , scintilating afternoon ahead .

My brothers GF was so so thrilled to be off to New York , they left this am , so all is well . Thanks for your good wishes folks.

Galiybev, my running is at the mile and three quarters stage, hoping to hit two miles non stop by the end of April ! how are you getting on ? I prefer running alone and after dark !! I have got a nagging pain in the back of my right thigh , which has been on and off since last Autumn. The running dosent affect it, and i run every third day to allow for the DOMS to subside !

MTF, congrats on the mention, sorry i missed it, i will listen again.

Hope everyone is having a decent day.

MC xxxx

Could anybody please tell me the really relaxing music in the background of the Ten-Pin bowling Sporting challenge where chris and jonny were meditating and before chris's phone went off.
thanks

I just had a lovely phone call from the owners of the horse that I derugged this morning.

Only being neighbourly, but pleased I did the right thing.

Smiley MTF :)

Alex, I wonder how many of us are going to be watching it again, I will. Not sure if I will know it but, hey ho, you never know.

MTF.xx

blimey, blizzardous conditions here on the Bristol channel!

MTF.xx

MTF

That's nice of them.

I think you could have done with a hypen in that though,as at first glance it looks like a possible doping scandal ;)

I knew I would get that remark Andy, thanks for not disappointing me ;)

MTF.xx

MTF,

I just read that as drugged too ! LOL !

ChrissIe , so glad your snow has gone, have been thinking about you Scottish ladies each time i have seen the forecast .

MC - feeling ever so slightly CBA , but trying to get over it ;-)

Happy to oblige!

Its really weird, I looked at it and knew it didnt look right.

Note to self, hyphens help!!

Alex, I have played it back again and can only pick up a song called you are a radar detector, is this the one?

MTF.xx

If so, I have found a version on you tube by some dude called Darwin Deez!!
MTF.xx

Chrissie - Thank you. I work out of town and because I live in a fairly rural location and the bus service is rubbish I have to drive everywhere so I felt I could be doing with some form of exercise to keep the flab at bay.

MC - I run as part of a running club which is great as i couldn't do the distances we do on my own - we do anything between 4.5 and 6 miles. Not sure how far I can run without stopping but I know it's getting further. We run to a certain point where the faster peeps run back to meet the slower peeps then we're told which direction to go in next - sometimes there's a bit of a debate so we get a bit of a breather. I ran further without stopping last night than I have ever done I think but don't know what the total mileage was. I'm thinking about taking part in a 5k run in Sheffield in a couple of weeks' time. It's only the logistics of getting there for 9am that's making me think twice.

GailyB

OK, so the lurking was killing me .....

And now I'm logged in, I dunno what to say - doh!

MTF - Deez sounds like a colaboration between me and The Beezmeister.

Today started well, but has slowed doen somewhat and my boss is out all pm so trying to make half an hour's work last til half five. Hey ho! I took some dictation this morning for the first time in about 5 years - interesting, but the core skills were still there. Think I shall be visiting "that river sounding site" this evening tho for some Teeline refresher bookage! As I was scribing, bossman looked bewildered at my half Deevs / half hieroglyphics scrawl! Made perfick sense to me tho, which is all that counts, innit!?!?

Right, best not push my luck as I'm in an open plan office. Will update you all as and when (if) I hear about the interviews from Mon/Tues.

Lovin' your work dudes!

Deevs

x

Deevs, still got everything crossed that a great job comes your way very soonly. My boss has gone out today and I've done everything I can hence me being on here. Just hope the IT police in London don't cotton on. ;)

GailyB

I could do with some housework police to kick me off here!

Still, got to got to work in a mo. You know what they say about all work and no play....

MTF.xx

Deevs - I'm not here either!

Went out for a "couple of drinks" with some team mates for one of the girls who is leaving. DEAR ME!
Lost count of the shots, glasses of wine and so DONT remember getting back to my hotel....

But I did, AND I managed to hang me trousers up!
so having a bit of a slow day myself today......

Defo straight to bed for me when I get back to Bristol later.....

see you tomorrow guys!

debs
X

Debs, as long as they were your trousers you hung up !!

MTF.xx

Now I could do with a night out like that.

Roll on Portsmouth!

MTF.xx

Debs, you're scaring me now.
MTF, unless there's a Mr Debs I'll be disappointed if they were her trousers she hung up. A bit like I was desperate for the (mystery guest) weather girl's change of hairstyle to have been a secret message to some gorgeous guy.

GailyB - hopeless romantic

LOL MTF and GailyB
I'm afraid they were only MY trousers I hung up, but my street cred in the team has gone up miles! Aparantly I was doing tequila shots without the tequila - yup just the salt and lime!

Bonkers - yup!

debs

Happy Birthday Johnny! Hope you're not doing the rowing in your birthday suit.

Linda-from-Lisburn, of the tomato definition wrong-bong

Afternoon all.

Just zipped on to wish Jonny a Happy Birthday and to say you must both be stark staring bonkers rowing on the Thames !

Blinkin' cold isn't it?

Busy Beez xx

LOL Debs - that's good going. Can't imagine how your mouth felt this morning.

Hi Beatrice, nice to see you. Well done on getting your wrong bong read out. I've tried a couple of times but had no luck.

GailyB

Debs - sounds a great night out! Shame it was on school night, lol!

MCW - liking the bird pics on fb!

Hope all in Scotland & Ireland are surviving the weather! What is going on with it!

Slow day in Cambridgeshire - am suffering from a severve lack of motivation today but at least no snow!

Off to shuffle a few bits of paper around to make out I'm doing stuff!

AS x

Great excitement in the GailyB household - we're off to pick up elder gorgeous boy's ski kit after school. Only 2 more sleeps, bless him.

Cheerio for now bloggers,

Gailyb

Afternoon all,
Happy Birthday Jonny, hope the screen wash was just what you expected ;)
MTF am loving the Sumo Wrestling bit and have just seen CLP's pics on Twitter of them in their outfits today ... lycra trousers on both of them leaves very little to the imagination :)and I can happily report that they both survived!!
Hope everyone is safe and sound in this horrid weather, although we have only got cold winds n heavy showers here at the moment.
Luv
GM xx

Afternoon,

I thought I'd break the silence on the blog. So how is everyone? I hope those up t'North are OK, is this spring or the middle of winter eh??

Happy Birthday Jonny xx and I am glad they both survived the Thames this afternoon, it must have been freezing.

Debs, You make me chuckle looking forward to seeing you throwing back the Chards in a couple of weeks. If you are driving back to Bristol make sure you are not still over the limit...LOL.

MTF, Thanks for the spring updates, your enthusiasm is infectious. I promise to listen again to Simon to hear your moment of fame.

Oh well nearly time to go home, catch you bloggers later.

AliB
xx

Hello AliB.

The sun is now breaking through up here in Wirral. This is the place to be to to avoid snow, this disappointed me when I was younger but now that I am a grumpy old woman I'm happy. Thinking of those elsewhere.

I've seen photos, like the outfits and hope they enjoy that cake. They deserve it plus many drinks.

MK

Afternoon each

Chris, glad you survived the Thames.

Weird weather update: Blizzard conditions this morning, everything white. Now the sun's shining and the snow's disappeared! Should be ok for you Gailey on Saturday.

xxx

Hi all

Firstly, from the last blog, MTF, I know you are capable of many things, but the mental image of you putting wellies on that horse has had me chuckling all day!

I think we've been relatively lucky with the weather here, just driving sleety rain, and blowing a gale - I hope everyone else is OK?

Happy birthday Jonny, glad to see you have both survived the Thames - I bet you never thought you'd be going that in this weather CLP?

Anyhow, it appears to have stopped raining, so I may pop around the block with Finlay.

Catch you in a while!

JG x

OK, sorry, I admit it, I killed the Blog!

Hailstones of massive proportions here now... it's gone very dark very quickly....

JG x

It's ok, t'blog is not dead yet

I might be though!

Is it still only Wednesday? How can a short week seem so long?

Do you think Jonny and Chris survived?

Seza xx

Hi peeps, and Happy Birthday Jonny! Hope you had a great time messing about on the river and that it wasn't too freezing!

Well the snow has gone here, we just had a day of sleet, followed by snow that didn't stick, followed by sleet again, followed by rain! Hopefully it will be a bit better tomorrow and on Friday as those are my days off, and am off to Stirling Castle on Friday. Don't fancy trudging round the esplanade in the wind and snow!

Going back to a topic from yesterday's blog: things we've done for the first time. Well yesterday I booked train tickets online for travelling from Copenhagen to Huskvarna in Sweden for my birthday weekend! Oh and I also booked flights to Lanzarote for the second half of May. After the winter we've had I am sooo looking forward to a few days of sun, at this rate it could be the only summer I get!

Hope the tendons are feeling better CLP and that you're getting used to the new phone. I'm currently coveting an iphone, especially after seeing some of my fellow Scottish bloggers flashing them on Saturday at the meet!

Hope everyone has had a good day

Rx

Hello ,just popping in to wish Jonny a Happy Birthday ,hope it's been a good one for you .


Chris ,just like to say Happy Birthday to you for tomorrow and have a lovely day .


Hope all the team have a lovely Easter .

Bids.xxx.

Eveninh all

Seza from the pics on twitter they both survived and cake was supplied for Jonny!

Weathers just wet and cold here, we now have a stream running along the garden, down the steps and out of the gate!

A

Howaya chaps!

If anyone is watching Coast, overlooking Carlingford Lough is exactly where yous find me right now!! What a wheeze.

Dan the Man, if you're lurking, I'm wavin'.. coo eee! Mind. Yous'll need the binoculars from Belfast..

Clodagh.xx

Andy, glad to hear it, hope Jinny enjoyed his cake, wonder if Chris will get one tomorrow

Clodagh, are you hanging on in there? Snow shoes and galoshes?

JG, did you make it round the block with Finley?

Seza xx

Seza, we did, just! Not far as I could see this awful black cloud heading towards us!

Clodagh, am watching Mastershout, but have seen the Carlingford loch one before!

Mr JG due home shortly, and then off until Wednesday next week, and he gets 15 hours back for having Bank Holiday's on his "rest days"! Grrr!!!

JG x

PS, Glad I didn't kill the blog!

Howya Seza!

Army boots, hun.

Hahaha, ey no, sweetheart; although it was Billy Blizzard last night and treacherous this morning, it was bright sunshine this afternoon. Go figure. Ooo looka that. Th Antrim Coast. Aah. Where that ruddy bumble bee buzzed me 99 last summer an' nearly put me in A&E. An' the GD as well in the next bed. No, it didn't buzz HER, she was in wit a hernia from laffin'.

I still say the bumble bees are compensatin' for their decline in numbers by increasin' in size. I kid yous not. Last time I saw a specimen like that it was playin' in the Wasps front row.

Work THAT one out Professor Cox.

Clodagh.xx

Hello...

Just got home, back soon.

Now where did I last see my ping pong bat?

MTF.xx

Clodagh, you're right, I saw a mahoosive one at the weekend!

But have to say, I love Prof Brian Cox!

JG x

Ping Pong Bats?

Bumble Bees?

I think we could confuse even CLP's new bezzie mate, Prof Cox!

PS 1 more sleep to Hairy Bikers!

x x

Hello!

Chris, What to do?!?!?! Man up for goodness sake.
If that is some lame excuse for why you might lose at the rowing - coming in early, then you have already lost.

Massively busy week this week (which is good) so haven't been around but I have been driving while the Breakfast Show has been on so have heard most of it each day.
Wow! It takes me right back to the good old days. Banter between the team, loads of features and an overriding feeling of fun, joy and the feeling that anything could happpen and probably will. Witness Prof Cox!
Who. By the way, really annoyed me! I give up coffee to improve my personal well being and all that.
What does the world's smartest brain do on a day off?
Sit at home and drink coffee all day!!!! Cheers Brian.....

Chris - your drivetime show was great but the Breakfast show is brilliant!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow young man!

ps happy birthday Jonny

pps happy birthday to Hells Bells for whenever that is, who said brains and beauty don't go together........probably Jonny!

Rips

Rips, Hello!

Getting close to a full house this week

Now, I might have to go and pick boy1 up from his latest tech gig but Mr Seza might get him as he's out and could so it on his way home

Thing is, i don't know which it's going to be so I don't know whether to have the other glass of wine or not.

:-(

Seza xx

Seza, I don't envy you those trips, our neighbour used to be in and out like nobody's business, but her kids are older now, so don't do as much!

My sister is always backwards and forwards with hers too :(

Me, I'm going nowhere apart from to bed, very shortly...

Mr JG just home, have hardly seen him since Saturday night!

JG x

I wouldn't mind JG, but I didn't know about this one until 4pm. Was planning a quiet night in

x x

Hail Seza!

I was just about to say hi to the rabble seperately ;)

Hello to everyone on here!

Have only just caught up from the last week. I have to read it all!
Can't read a book, but never miss a day on here.

Barney - I must take issue with your comment on the insurance. Surely that is what insurance is for? If your house gets burgled when you are out, your possessions are unattended, if you turn your back in a pub for a minute, it is reasonable to expect that your possessions should be safe.
In the event that they are not - you have insurance!
I only mention this because I now suspect that you wear a Bumbag!!

Nic and Deev - I've been staying away recently because of the criticism that I receive from Nic, but just wanted to wish you both the very best in the job hunting stakes.
It seems that a lot of companies are awaiting the result of the election to see what direction the country will take before committing to anything. Our industry is at a standstill.....roll on May the sixth!

M'Wol - Hope you're ok and that the wedding thing is just a postponement.
You know where I am.

So glad to hear about and see the photos from the Glasgow weekend. It looked like a fantastic time was had by all.
How could it be any different with Chrissie and Mary at the helm?

Gingembre - great to see your name pop up, as it would be to see Super Beep's.
Have you completed the promotion? I know a lot of us would love to know....I hope so. Take care mate.

I've had a couple of cold drinks....can anyone tell?

Best wishes, hugs and love to everyone who could do with them/it.

Rips

TAXI!

See you tomorrow

xx

Who needs a wii?

MTF.xx

Actually MTF I do but probably not what you were askin'

Right back here now.

Seriously, you cannot let hailstones that big go to waste!

Is there a Ripster in the house??

MTF.xx

Susan, how is the weather with you now?

I have heard some really awful reports today.

That poor school group setting off for a fun day out, what a tragic outcome.

MTF.xx

Hi Rips, and no, you can't tell at all! ;)

Sorry Seza:(

Actually, we haven't got a Wii, should we get one? We do have a redundnt PS3 though..

JG x

We haven't really had it that bad. Just very wet and windy at times so hoping it doesn't come down from Scotland like they keep forecasting.

Weather tends to be quite moderate around most of these parts with just a few of the extremes so we are quite lucky. Sounds bad where you are as well as some of the much more northern and even middle points in the country?

Hi JG, dont suppose you have a big pair of wellies going spare? ;)

What day are you off to the Hills?

MTF.xx

Hey if you dont wii you will be in considerable pain ... lol xxxx

No Susan, we have had HUGE hailstones, and severe winds and flooding, BUT, we can get about.

I had to shift one or two rotten trees off a couple of lanes today, but on the whole,its not that bad.

MTF.xx

its bin cold but calm today .... brrrr!!

Bills xxxx

Well, that was a quick run, they'd finished early so he was waiting for me

MTF, Why do you need big wellies? Is it that horse again?

JG, Why is your PS3 redundant?

Rips, am hoping there is some hope, Mr Seza in engineering and the word "busy" has been mentined for the first tie in ages.

Susan, agree about that tragic coach accident. What a waste.

Wine now!

Seza xx

PS Did have a moment when I pulled up at the school and there was an ambulance outside!!

Boy1 didn't know why so think it must be for the leisure centre part of the building
