Morning CLP.. Most Nice Ter 'ave You Back...

Bingo Star 'ere...

CLP - A take it yer have been watching The Open over the past 4 days.. me too!!!!!
I thought it was a strange Open... bit boring... no really exciting charges happening yet at the same time there was a lot of exciting things happening!!!!!
Great to see so many Brits well up the leaderboard!!!!
Westwood 2nd... Casey so close to 2nd & coming 3rd!!!!
McIlroy coming home 3rd & Robert Rock tied 7th!!!!

And am glad the public gave Tiger a good welcome... I think it will help restore his confidence & we'll see a back on form Tiger next year!!!!!
Not that he wasn't palying well this weekend... the weather created a lottery on Friday... and like a wrote on the last blog... the greens seemed inconsistant!!!!!!!

Glad your back missed your happy chat

It was a shame to see Ian Poulter have an erratic last round with about 8 birdies & a load of bogeys!!!!... A was following his tweets & hoped after making the cut he might have great round on Saturday & get a top 10 finish but.. he too was complaining about he couldn't get his putter to work... again there was something wrong with the way a lot of the holes had been cut in my opinion!!!!!!

Great to see a new winner at The Open & 850k prize money!!!!!

Which got me thinking... if yer come home 3rd and are tied with 3 other players... then the 350k for third surely is divided into 3!!!!!!!
Which means... 116k each!!!!!!
So surely it would be better to miss yer last putt to come fourth on yer own if there was nobody tied on fourth... and collect the 250k prize money for fourth!!!!!!

Yes all it's got me thinking.... how exactly is the prize money shared/ worked out.... if a was playing a could imagine me having an argument with me caddie up the 18th... "do a miss me putt or not????"

A think time ter rest my mind too CLP!!!!!!

PS Nice show this morning!!!!!!

Bye!

Morning Chris,

So happy to hear you on the radio this morning. I have missed you so much.

I know exactly what you mean - its like a change is as good as a rest.............even if you were really busy with Tash and Noah I am sure you appreciated the mental break from us!!!

Have a good day everyone

Love me x x

PS Forgot ter say... Since it's been all golf... A thought how appropriate now, if CLP & the blog moderators are kind enough to allow me, to bang on the blog this week me full diary/ story of the great day I had out at Wentworth in May when a watched CLP play in the pro-am!!!!!

I'll put part one on tomorrow!!!!

'ope all have a nice day!!!!!

Bye!

CLP. Thank goodness you are back. Havent turned the radio on for the duration in the morning. Cant be doing with the person who "stood" in for you. Dont they have any better replacements available!!

Hope every one is OK. Debs, keep the chards flowing. You will be better in no time.

Thunder

Good mozza, good mozza Big Chief of the CLP . . .

Pooped ourselves as well - the annual break was taken last week - next break is my stag do in November!!! Oh my . . .

All well here in Norn Irn - we popped over to London last weekend - the heat was incredible - we never see 32degs - ever!

Happy Monday folks!!

The-MEGA-New-Bingo-Star

I reckon the three players who tied on third place would have equal shares of the prize money for third, fourth and fifth places whilst the next player would then get the money for sixth place.

As for your predictions, as the bookie said to me, close but no cigar.

Hey Chris,
Sooooooo glad you are back! Trouble is this mornin' when my alarm went off I heard Ken Bruce's dulcet tones! OMG thought you had not returned from your jollies - only to realise I had overslept and was MEGA late for work!

*Note to self - remember to set alarm BEFORE you hit the red wine of an evening!

Afternoon all!

Jo

Barney - At least me predictions were very close & considering over 160 players started the tournament & The Open & golf is one of the most difficult sports to predict!!!!!

Also me prediction of the winning score at -12... the actual winning score was -16 with second at -9... so close there too!!!!!!

Could easily ave been -4 0r -20!!!!!!

Me next prediction is.... August is going to be a mega scorcer of a month!!!!!!
Loads of hot sun & high temperatures.... yer 'eard it 'ere first!!!!!!

Bye!

Afternoon,

Nice to have you back Chris. I didn't really enjoy showering with GN...fill in the blanks yourself...:O¬

Welcome Back CLP

The main man is back which is why the blog today is male dominated just like the golf (Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden)

I will make a quick exit>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm here MM, lurking as usual!

Welcome back CLP.

Hope you're all having a good day.

Hello one and all

I know that feeling I went on holiday and came home then needed a holiday to get over my holiday lol.

G'day gang, and WELCOME BACK CLP!

Chris, thanks for playing Hide Your Love Away this morning - one of my fave Beatles toons. I was singing along whilst making Nic's sarnies, I was!

I know what you mean about needing a break to get over a break - I've just had a weekend and I'm shattered today. Totally shattered. We had a late one Saturday night (Sunday morning!) with some interruptions between head hitting pillow and "proper" waking up time (a poorly wee man needing a daddy cuddle ...... at 4.53am, 6.25 am, 7.45 am ......) and didn't do much at all yesterday but today I feel cream crackered. And we've got a charity thing on after work today which I've sort of been roped in to helping with, so no gym and no 5pm home time for me. Booooooooo, but all in a good cause.

DtM - I was thinking about you this morning and thought about finding your email addy and dropping you a line. Glad to hear all is ok with you. Bet you can't wait for your stag do in November!

Deb - has anyone drawn over your plaster yet? Follow Thunder's advice re the chards and you;ll be back on both feet in no time!

Joran - oooops! Hope you weren't in too much trouble being mega late for work.

Maddy - I'm sure GirlPower will prevail in Blogland later.

As for the golf, no comment. Bores me to tears. Just can't be done with it.

MotoGP on the other hand .... go Rossi!!

Muchos amore

I,m just off to start building an Ark.

Valentino Rossi is not human.

Hello CLP and CLP Blogfollowers - it's great to have you back Chris - was taking chuffin ages to load the last blog with its four-figure entry count.

Hope I didn't miss too much [the not reading the blog]. I know I don't post in here very often but really enjoy sharing your news 'n stuff. Thanks to those that have trustingly 'made friends' with me in FB and here's to a good week in the sun for us all ..

:^)

Unc

I concur! Poor auld Randy de Puniet on the other hand appears to be made of porcelain!

Deevs

Bad leg break that. The photos make your stomach turn, poor sod. He was having a cracking season was Randy DePunnet.

Glad your back Mr Evans.

I am exhausted too, had a week off in June in the van and not going away again until August in the van again. All for the sake of two weeks in Tenerife over christmas and new year which I cannnot wait for, another 5 months till my main holiday this year.

Had a wonderful weekend at a friends farm which meant late too bed early to rise so will spend this week having early nights and drinking plenty of water.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Unc - what you dun!?!?!

It's chaos here, but nice chaos. It's the charity evening for the children's hospice tonight, which starts at 5pm, and all the exhibitors are currently setting up their wares - shoes, handbags, make-up, a photographer, sparkly things, crafty things, nice smelly things ...... ecky fump!

Afternoon each

So nice to have you back Chris, sounds like you had an action-packed holiday and need a rest!

xxx

Welcome back Chris - great drive to work this morning!! Thanks

Deevs - good luck with the Charidy fang!

Wheel chair has arrived - so if you have a moment tomorrow when you need a cheer up - picture this, me in wheel chair at hippy outdoor wedding saying to GD (in Andy pipkin from little britain voice) "want to go over there now, no not here - over there.....THIS way"

Over and out amigos, catch you on Wednesday with a full report

Debs, can just see you in ELH in your wheelchair.

Deevs, hope the evening goes well and lots of money is raised.

xxxx

Hi folks, lovely to have you back CLP, although I didn't mind Graham to be honest.

Have just been out to buy a smaller tent, for the weekend, in the pouring rain! I hope the weather improves for the weekend!

Debs, would love to be a fly on the wall tomorrow!

Anyhow, need to think about some tea...

JG x

Evening peeps, and welcome back Christoph xx

Noticed that Ms Kennedy didn't make any kind of handover to you this morning when she has spent two weeks positively fawning over GN - but then you didn't thank her for her show, as you politely used to do - so I guess you've given up, don't blame you.

Must admit I did enjoy Graham's toast with cheese slot. It was scary how many of the truly horrible songs I was word perfect on!!

Also enjoying Dale in the afternoon - but that's probably because I cannot abide Steve smarmy Wright. Did anyone hear Sheryl Crow's version of I Want You Back, by Michael Jackson? It was brilliant. Listen again if you can, it was about 4.50pm

Debs - take it easy in that wheelchair - although I see you more as Brian Potter type than Andy!

Deevs - hope the good cause goes well tonight - don't spend too much!

Everyone else - hiya xx

Crumpy xx

Evening all, and welcome back CLP! Know what you mean about coming back to work for a rest after a holiday. But I do think that recharging the batteries mentally is just as important (if not more so) than physically.

Was on holiday myself last week, though not away anywhere as my Mum visited, just a couple of days out in Glasgow and Stirling and visiting family in Dumbarton. We've had c****y weather last week and I'm really wanting some sun, but alas no more holibobs from work till September for me.

In other news I got bedside cabinets this afternoon for my new bedroom, so finally I have a knicker drawer!!

Hope you're all ok

Rx

Evening all, soooo glad you're back Christoff. As the old adage goes, you always need a holiday to get over the one you've just had!

BTW, excellent lunch yesterday at the M, the pudding was absolutely to die for x

Crumpy, I am also enjoying Dale in the afternoon, this must be the third week, can we hope for a permanent fixture?!

Bingo, apologies, I am having to skip your posts for the first time ever, nothing personal, it's just I can't stand golf!! It's just not right to all like the same things though, is it?

Sorry haven't commented on much else cos I haven't been around. I'll need a fortnight to catch up!

Pen xx

Good evening everyone

So good to have you back this morning CLP :-)

Not had time to get on here much over the last few weeks so hope everyone's well and those that aren't get back on their feet soon!

I've spent my last day of freedom before the kids break up doing house work and making the phone calls that I've been putting off, feeling very stressed tonight :-(

Off to eat my tea and then have a bowl of chocolate ice cream :-)

Love to everyone MCM xx

Evenin' all

Thanks for the good weather wishes for both Sat and Sunday. Sunday's worked so well (after a very unpromising looking start) that I'm now sporting what is commonly known as the "Rudolph look".

MCM: you've got me drooling now with the mention of ice cream, might have to go have a look in the freezer, I know I've seen some in there... on the other hand, I was naughty and didn't go for my weekly walk yesterday, so maybe I should abstain.

Oz

Evening all,

Just popping in to say welcome back to Chris and the team, loved what I caught of the show this morning.

Meself, am counting down to six weeks off, plus spent all this arvo sitting in the sunshine as the Year 6s I was supposed to be teaching were having sports day. I did clap hard though.

Off to wedding Saturday (364 days since ours last year) then flying to Tuscany on Tuesday with Boleynman (sans teenagers) for 9 days!

I'll shut up now.

A x

Oz the ice cream was very nice :-)

Boleyngirl Happy anniversary for the weekend and have a great time in Tuscany!

MCM xx

Evening all

Second attempt to post (hit the wrong blumming key and landed up in the old blog and lost what I'd wrote.....)

Welcome back CLP and missing bloggers - I have just had a lovely catch up with the equally lovely SugarPlumb and am now back at the hotel to catch up with here and FB. Just the antidote to the intensity of the course......

Debs - I had a good chuckle at the vision of you being pushed around in the chair by your GD a la Andy Pipkin...

Hi to everybody else.

Laters

mtd ffb xxx

Just wanted to say welcome back CLP, so good to hear you this morning

Love n hugs n good thoughts to all

Seza xx

MCM: I need more willpower, have succumbed to a choc ice! V nice it is too.

BG: The anniversary Tuscany treat sounds fab, enjoy :)

Think I'm gonna have that early night I've been planning for weeks now ;)

Oz

Sorry for tempting you OZ!

Hope you get your early night, I'm off to bed now as well, have a manic week ahead and every other week until the 2nd week of September!

Night all

MCM xx

Aww, have just watched the Brucie program, lovely!

What's not so lovely is needing to let Finlay out for a wee whilst it's absolutely teeming it down...

D'you know, I'm realy in a CBA mood at the moment, with everything, so might actually switch all of this tech stuff off for a while...

Night all!

JG x

Night JG - I hope that rain is not heading in this direction - the weather is gorgus here at the moment.

mtd ffb xxx

Duno MTD, we're a long way from you, but it's been persisting it down since about 4pm, and very heavy at the moment! Need to go and brave it with Finlay!

Hope your course is going OK?

KG x

JG, also watched Brucie, fab show.

Been 28 degrees here today and still 18, it's going to be a warm night.

Night all.

JG x

Well - CLP - you didn't write - you didn't call... what's a girl to do? I have to admit I really did enjoy your replacement GN... especially his interiews...

Glad you're back though... (see Annie - got it right eventually!)

see you on the radio soon...

Love to all CLP blog contributors

Suzie... xxx

Evening all from a sunny but mild upstate NY. Back to the hotel after the days training..... now to the gym. Hope everyone had a good Monday......

Alright Bondy... take care... and lucky you...the training makes up for the Hotel... no washing up - food on demand...? Have fun.

Suzie... sleeping... zzzzz xx

Hi Suzie, the gym isn't bad either but there's no daphster...... I had to leave her at home staring out of the window as I drove away this morning........ hope you had a good Monday.

Good morning blogrades!

Deb, thank you for the Lou and Andy imagery .... I hope you have a lovely time at the wedding, although your high kicks to New York New York will obviously have to wait for another occasion!

And thanks for all of the good wishes on the charity do thingyflip. I left at half seven as I had a lovely man to cook tea for, but there were still people arriving when I left (it was due to finish at 9pm). I treated myself to a couple of bits: a cinamon candle, some jasmine joss sticks, 2 pairs of hand-made ear-rings and a hangbag to die for (altho not sure if Nic was as keen as me to be honest....). All in a good cause, and all saved out of my pocket money!

The really, really exciting news from yesterday afternoon is that I won a competition! A local photographer was offering a £100 voucher against a photoshoot if you could tell her in 150 words why you deserve to win. So I did, and I did! I am so excited! She was at the bash last night and we had a chat about things so now I'm even more excited!!!

Wooooo Hooooo!!

Right, time to think about getting ready for W O R K. I have to office to myself this morning so may be able to dip in and out a bit more than the last few days.

Adios amigos. For now!

Good morning all.

Back yo work for me today ,not bad here today ,slightly cooler so better for work .

Hope you all have a nice day .

Take care .Bids.xxx.

Morning All,

CLP, Great to have you back on the airwaves xx Graham grew on me and I did like his "cheese" spot!

Nothing wild or exciting to report from Kent. It's very cloudy today but a humid as can be. I've got all the windows open in my office a fan on and the door open. I did a deal with the people in the office in the opposite corridor and said if we both left our doors open we might get a breeze blowing through and it does seem to be working - hooray.

MC, How was your trip to the Garden of England, whereabouts in Kent were you?

Hop-a-long Debs, Hope the wedding goes well and your "pot" doesn't stop you from celebrating xxx

Over and Out
