Good luck Chris - although I'm sure you don't really need it. Looking forward to see which shirt you choose, but can't join you until 7:15 - have a prearranged rendevous with a well known radio show.....

Hi Chris Good luck for tonight, have you decided on a shirt? Just about to listen to the show on iplayer from a very sunny upstate New York.

Hi to everyone haven't had time to catch up yet but have a great day all.

MaW xx

Hi Christophe

As is said on a well known Brekkie Show:

"Good luck my friend..."

Tim the Taxi x

Hello again,

Forgot to say last time that I had watched the sporting challenge video and it is absolutely hilarious!

Debs - Just watching at the horse trails, this is a biggy, professionals only!, and yes I have been to wickerman's store and stocked up on the vino, 2 pink, 1 white and 3 red, that should keep me going for a night or two.

Again, have a good weekend everyone!

Gail.

Aaaaaaaaafternoooon alllll

CLP - have a great show tonight. Very much looking forward to it. I do like Jason as well as he is very good but be nice to see your mug back on the widescreen.

Shame there is no Concorde trips, no bar in the studio or even a window to chuck things into the river but them days is gone. It's all very sensible and grown up this ´óÏó´«Ã½ lark isn't it?

Hellooooo to everyone else and have a great weekend. I'm off to the sunny golf course to whack a few balls about with me trusty sticks.

Tooodlepeeeeeeps

P.S. Whatever happened to the TFI autographed desks?

Good luck chief!!! Can't wait to see you back on the box! So what was the final verdict on the shirt lovely?

DOZYMAC
Glad you have been to store hope you got all that you wanted and hope you enjoy.Now i have to get a few more people to the stores lol

Hello CLP.

I can't imagine you being nervous but I suppose everyone gets pre studio nerves.

Let me give you some advice. The one time I appeared on the telly (won't go into details) I had a few double brandies, this calmed me down very nicely. But I received a lot of laughter from people afterwards!

Break a leg! (is that right for TV?)

MM x

Greetings Ter CLP, Alex & ALL...

Bingo Star 'ere... Coming To You From VERY Close Ter Knotty Ash.. Well Liverpool Lime Street Station Ter Be More Exact...

Off Glaravanning in Somerset next week with friends so I dont know if I shall hear much of your show next week but I am sure it will be good anyway

Have a lovely week everyone and hope Deevs has put her wellies in her bag for this weekend at V it has just started raining and is forcasted for most of the weekend.

Ta Ra A Bit

Chris: hope you have such a great time tonight. Nerves are a very good sign!

MaW: how lovely to see you! What's occurring?!

Gail: hope you and David have a great weekend - sounds right up your street. Have a great week's holiday. xx

C xx

me again: just having a look at the previous blog:

MC: yes, we MUST get out more! Loved your comment to Debs that someone is using your oven when you are out! This is happening to me too: what gives?

I wondered if my Osmonds t-shirt may be smart attire for this evening? You can never go wrong with an Osmonds t-shirt!

Debs: hope things are improving for you - what a slow process, pet lamb.

Marjie: good to see you are on really good form. When Noel Edmonds was doing that "seeing you in your living room" thingy, I was sure my husband would have nominated me for that, given that I was such a fan of Noel, and went on about him all the time. On reflection, I am so glad that never happened!

C xx

Greetings CLP, Alex & ALL…

Bingo Star ‘ere… Back Again…

A just wanted ter try & guess what vehicle yer in there in the photer above!!!!!!

Now ter me the rear window looks very like yer Rolls Royce Phantom Menace…. The way it’s rectangular & the exact shape of it!!!!!!
BUT….. On the roller… although the same shape & the window looks VERY like one of the latest model Phantom’s window…. The Phantom rear window is tighter… not in price… DEFINITELY not in price… a mean in size!!!!!
It narrows more & the roof slopes down more over the rear seated passengers ‘eads!!!!!!
‘ence am now thinking different to what a was thinking a minute ago!!!!!

What a think it is looking at those stone leather ‘eadrests, stone in colour not structure, they are VERY Mercedes!!!!!!
VERY Mercedes…. And am not talking about a baby girl named Mercedes after an e-class ter give ‘er some class… born into a council estate living family in 2008 that are BIG fans of Big Brother & ‘ave Katie Price as their number one role model!!!!!
No, am talking Mercedes as in Mercedes people carrier…. Basically a van with the sides knocked out & windows banged in, then carpeted with most luxurious leather clad seats bolted ter the floor!!!!!!

The only thing that’s bothering me now is the colour?????
I’d say it’s either black or silver!!!!!!!!
Looking DEEP inter the mind…. Am gonna go with silver!!!!! No black!!!!!!!
No silver….. Black…… with a silver Mercedes badge on the bonnet!!!!!!

No silver with black tyres & blacked out windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am a correct CLP & Alex?????? ;)))

Bye!

Afternoon each from sunny and very windy Fife. 80mph gale forecast - just got blown across the rickety bridge.

Chris, don't be too nervous, we'll all be cheering you on. Good luck.

xxx

Afternoon bloggers!

Wooohoooo it's Friday! Hurrah - this week seems to have lasted forever!

In a good mood today - asked my boss if I could slightly change my working hours to help with my daily commute and he said yes then laughed and told me he'd been expecting me to ask him!! Knowing that now why did I get myself worked up before asking him - d'oh!

Have fab weekends everyone, wherever you and whatever you do :)

AS x

Just had a catch up.

Chrissie - YES! Osmond's t-shirt is a must for watching tonight. I have the photo still.

Dozey - have a fab time in Aviemore and Blair Atholl. Haven't been north at all this year and I'm feeling the need to walk round Loch an Eilian in peace and quiet - September I think.

Debs - is the sun over the yardarm yet?

xxxx

Chrissie-you can never go wrong with an Osmond tee shirt especially if it has a picture of Donny on it.

I agree, although I knew it would never happen I always felt a little uneasy when Noel introduced the living room thing (NTV Ithink it was called) on his House Party.

Hello to everyone else!

MM x

BTW, for those on FB, Chrissie's Osmond t-shirt is displayed beautifully on my page - photos of the Leeds meet.

xxx

Thanks Annie-seen it.

Yes Chrissie, definitely wear it on every occasion possible. No picture but what a great souvenir.

MM xxx

Alright To ALL…

Me back again…

CLP & Alex - Actually thinking about it… am not 100% sure if it is a Mercedes people carrier… as the roof does look slightly low!!!!!
Those ‘eadrests do also look VERY Saab!!!!!!
So maybe yer in a Saab estate!!!!!!
But then ‘aving said that the person who taking the photo ‘as a lot of room to get a nice shot of Alex… so actually maybe it is you CLP sitting opposite ‘er in a Mercedes people carrier!!!!!

Ok if a can’t 100% get the vehicle correct…. Can a guess the road from the rear window!!!!!

I’d say first choice… looking at the flyover & the density of the concrete… and those crash barriers…. Yer on the Westway A40 Flyover in the west bit of central London… just coming off on the slip road near to Edgeware/ Paddington areas just up the road from Marylebone!!!!!!!!

2 nd choice is yer near Chiswick just coming off the A4 flyover that leads onto the M4... In the west of London!!!!!!

But looking DEEP inter the mind… a think me first guess is more right!!!!

Am a correct CLP & Alex??????

This is so much fun!!!!!!

Can anyone tell am on the train ter London & board!!!!!!

PS This is what me poor mother ‘ad ter put up with when a was a child… and ave still not fully grown up now!!!!!

Bye!

Hallo Bingo

Haven't you got any crayons and colouring-in books? And a wee snack and juice?

xxxx

Afternoon peeps, from a pooped Crumpy!
Very long tough week with deadlines to meet and am feeling particularly knackered today.

Not had a chance to read the blog let alone post. Am out tonight for a meal with friends so am sky+'ing the One Show. Bet it will be the topic of conv later at FNWC.

So tired I am popping upstairs to have a little lie down and maybe a nap before shower and out, later. I am designated driver for some of us tonight so no alcoholic drinks for me - probably just as well, as one glass of wine and I bet I'd be asleep in my dinner!

May catch you later.

ttfn, Crumpy xx

Post #20

That's why I was always worried when watching NTV!

MM x

Ello Annie G - Yes a 'ave got me colouring book & crayons... butta filled all the pictures in by Crewe.... and then ending up chewing all me crayons by Lichfield!!!!!!!

Bye!

Good luck Chris! I am sure everything will go without a hitch. ;-)

I bet you find being back on TV just like riding a bike, you may be a little rusty but you never forget how to do it.........

Keith
xx

Best luck for later.but you will ok

Just watched the Circus video - hilarious.

Bingo, how much longer you on the train? And stop chewing the crayons!!

xx

AS: good news about your boss. Isn't it amazing that sometimes we fret about asking our boss something and then they turn round and are understanding!

Annie and Marjie: thanks for the thumbs-up on the t-shirt. I shall be wearing it with pride as of 6.50pm! Annie: I can't believe you have that picture on FB! Although, as you know, I really do like it, and I just hate photos of me usually!

Bingo: just loving the idea of you with a picture book and crayons!

Crumpy: hope you enjoy your evening. No doubt you will be on top form once you have had a shower and feel a lot brighter!

Well, for myself, I feel as though I am attending a really important function tonight - I am so excited for Chris, and I just know he is going to transform Friday evenings for so many people! Will be thinking of all the bloggers while I am watching - I may even have a sweet sherry, just to toast the occasion!

Have a great weekend everyone.

C xx

It's a lovely photo of you Chrissie - am going to open a wee bottle of Meerllooot so will raise my glass to yours at 7pm.

Crumpy, have a great night out. Did you get the window insurance sorted?

xxxx

Christoff. I take it back. What I said about yous bein' a Big Girls' Blouse. Just watched the Circus Challenge, and Johnny is a BIG GIRL bless 'im, hahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha!!!!!!

An whose idea was it to put 'im in them Rod Stewart leopardy pants. By the crin. We've fiercer gerbils up 'ere in Wigan.

Am not askin' 'IM to 'ang me washin' out, oh no. If it's a bit gusty 'e'll be screechin' like a right cissy an' wakin' up every bat in Lancashire.

Hohoho what a laff. Excellent.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh, the outfits were great, eh? Wonder who their stylist was? Just loved the little blue shorts with the black tights!

xxxx

Top Gear re-run on Dave right now with the one and only CLP!

Keith

Hahaha Annie, I know.

Last time I saw a sight like that it 'ad a piranha in its beak.

Mind. Take no notice a me. Am still in a Mad Jealous Sulk just because I was sat waitin' beside the phone all day in me spangly cozzy an' fishnets, an' me feathery hat.

Huh.

Clodagh.xx

Evenink all!

Well, we've just got home, unpacked and have opened my birthday cards, read my FB page etc and WOWSER ..... yous lot are fantastic! Thank you so, so much for all the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day and was spoilt rotten by my lovely Nic.

The holiday was also fantastic - I saw places I'd never been to before, and Gloucestershire/Herefordshire is a beautiful part of the country.

We rounded the week off this morning on a trip to the Cider Museum in Hereford and I took the liberty of stocking up on some supplies for the autumnal nights ahead!

Now to sort out tea (Chinese?) and prepare for a weekend at V Festival.

Off to catch up on this week's blogs before Sky+ing our CLP on the ONE Show!

Break a leg!

Deevs
x

CLP - either the stars or Fat'll do nicely. You do quite suit the white shirt actually - just remember to fasten the bottom buttons up!!!!

Good luck for tonight!!! Got the pizza and beer ready - end of the first week at work (teacher.......) so definately need to relax and what a way to do so!!

Clarey x

Btw clp - the teal one is just a littlr bitty on the boring side!!!! it really doesn't suit you as it doesn't really reflect your personality. Wear it again and I may just have to bring out my teacher voice!!!!

Clarey x

... and just read the blog comments from 17th. Thank you thank you thank you all so very much!

Hi all

I hope you've gone with the stars clp. Will be watching with interest tonight with my glass of meeerrrrlooot at my side.

mtd ffb xxx

I've got butterflies. I'm having to have a glass of sauvingnon blanc to calm my nerves. I must remember that it's not me that's presenting the One Show in half an hour. God job - I look like something the cat's dragged in today. And that star shirt wouldn't suit me at all.

Come on Christoff - back on live primetime telly - get in, my son.

Barmy xx

PS glad you had a good birthday Deevs. Drag it out for as long as you possibly can!!

glad you had a great holibob Cheryl

Tiggs xxx

I meant "good job" obviously - I haven't had a religious conversion.

Oooo, just got sorted in time to sit and watch!

Tea will have to wait!!

Will catch up later...

JG x

Yay!! The star shirt looks great!!

Way-hey!! Lucky Starry shirt, as if we didn't know! LOL

JG x

Ah Bless, he's got the starry shirt on - looking good.

xxx

I've got stars in my eyes!!

Wonder if Noah's got his on too?

Seza xx

ps, yoghurt pots reconnected - I'm back!!

As if anyone's bothered! ;-)

Woo-hoo it's the stars! Good call, Christoff Stargazy Pie.

Clodagh.xx

Good start CLP.

Course we care Seza - why on earth does it take so long??

mtd ffb xxx

Welcome back to the land of the connected Seza!!

I don't like movies, so have just popped out to see to Finlay!

Mr JG has also sent me the details of his hotel in NYC he's staying in in October...dare I look?

JG x

Evening all

Stars!

csn. xx

Hands up who wants fish and chips RIGHT NOW! Thanks for that, ´óÏó´«Ã½!

Starry, starry night.....

Mmmm fish and chips? Maybe later.....

Keith
xx

Lovely fish and chips!

csn. xx

Welcome back Seza, how is the unpacking going?

csn. xx

JG. have you looked yet.

Chris, that is so funny!

csn. xx

Fleet Castle Maternity Hospital.

I'm waiting for my invitation from Haddo House in Aberdeen - where Glasgow babies were born.

xxxx

Mmmm fish & chips and Rossi ice cream! Yum yum!!

MTD, Don't know why it takes so long! How's the new job going?

CSN, unpacking is going - slowly! Need to crack on this weekend cos I'm getting used to the boxes being there!

JG, Why's Mr JG going to NY? And without you? Are you in your new office now? How's the travelling for you?

And now you can breathe CLP, bet you sleep better tonight!

Seza xx

Great job Christoff!!

Oh poor Chris - peaman!
xxx

Could have been worse - Brussel Sprout Man anyone?

xx

Well done CLP.

Job going great Seza - it's a long time since I had a first week somewhere new. Mind you there are some familiar faces around (and more coming) so it's not so bad.

Feeling hungry from the fish and chips thing - waiting for curry to be delivered.

Merrllooot on the go.

Laters

mtd ffb xxx

Evening campers.

Wow CLP, i sooooo want to try that batter out . Just got to measure the run up to my bath to see if i could get the same effect.

Seza, glad you have landed .

MC xxx

MC You can do a smaller effect of the batter by mixing cornflour and water in a bowl. Squish it in your hand and it's hard, relax your hand and it flows through your fingers! Oo er missus!

Am a bit worried that this is early on FNWC and my bottle of wine is strangely empty!

Mind you, it has been a pretty pants day - petition sent to your boss anyone?

Seza xx

Anstruther - best fishnchips in Scotland apparently. Must go soon.

mtd: My Meerrlllloooott is open too.

xxx

Sorry you had a pants day Seza - what happened?

Mine was nice - faffed about this morning, then lunch with friend, then a windy wend home over the rickety bridge.

xxxx

Also have food on order...

Seza, Mr JG wants a break from everything, including me, so is heading to NYC on his own!!

I wouldn't stay in a hotel that has 50 floors, or go up the Empire State Building etc, so he's best going on his own...I just hope he stays away from the dodgy parts and doesn't get shot at!

I'll probably have to book hols to look after Finlay, but that's OK, if I need to...

OK, Yes, I'm putting a brave face on it, but, if I'm honest, I would be a hindrance, that he's not prepared to cope with at the moment...

JG x

JG, I wouldn't stay in a 50 floor hotel either - unless I could be on the ground floor!

And, lady, you are definitely not a 'hindrance'. He should be glad he's got you.

xxxx

Annie, where he's at at the moment, I am a hindrance! I'm trying my best, but it's not good enough at the moment...

We're both struggling at the moment, so feel unable to support each other...trying to though!

JG x

Oh dear JG, hope things get better. You know where I am on FB. xxxxx

Annie - my bad day was pants old people being pants!! But I don't have to see them til Monday and then I can get my revenge! Mwah hahaha!

JG I agree with Annie except about the hotel - I'd like to be way up high!

Seza xx

Seza - thank goodness I don't have to deal with old people any more. Although, went into my old place today and had to give advice to the Manager! Honestly, they can't manage without me - he's about to phone me to give me an update. Only joking - he's managing fine without me.

8yr old has just phoned me to tell me he's got his ipad and he's downloaded pacman. When my eldest was little that was the first electronic game he got and I just loved it. Will be round there tomorrow to have a go.

Really disappointed in tonight's One Show. It came across to me as the Chris Evans Show with the Welsh girl Alex as his side kick instead of Johnnie Saunders. She hardly got a word in as Chris dominated the whole of the show. If it's supposed to be a double act then Chris needs to learn how to work with a partner rather than being the totally dominant force. Sorry, but that's the way I saw it tonight. Sad but true.

Dave, know what you mean. Chris seemed a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully it will get better.

Seza, heard from my ex-colleague. Old person - fleas - cat - social worker - etc....... Sound familiar?

xxxxx

Fair enough if that's how you saw it, Dave, but for the record I disagree. I thought Chris injected his usual energy and fun into the show and Alex held her own magnificently; in no way was she overshadowed. I can find nothing negative to say; good luck to them.

Clodagh.xx

Dave,

Yes, i know what you mean, but it must be really never wracking. Am sure it will get easier in time. It seemed to be just getting going as it ended.

JG, if i can help , you know where i am.

Annie , loved you pictures of the new school starter ! hope he has had a good time and settled in.

MC xx

Didn't think Alex allowed herself to be dominated, think Chris needs to settle in a bit but loved it anyway


Annie, all too familar! today's crisis was about us changing the pictures on the walls like they have in the Dr's surgery??? Why a crisis? Your guess is as good as mine

Mistake to upset the person with the repairs budget though!

Seza xx

Seza,

Dont worry, they might have forgotten about it all on Monday,and moved onto a new crisis. Enjoy your weekend. Can we have your new addy please ?

MC x

MC I'll sent it on t'other side, Hopefully they will have forgotten - or they'll have had a cjance to "think about what they have done!"

xx

Hello one and.... and especially CLP...

I enjoyed your debut on the One Show Mr Evans. A tad nervous, I thought, but so pleased to see you on the telly box again... well done you! But I didn’t like the jacket... were you wearing it for health and safety reasons? Perhaps all the starry, twinkly stars on your shirt could have the same effect as strobe lighting? Go buy some more shirts, go on, go on... you know you want to... go on... and ditch the jacket...

Hope all are well and having a good FNWC...

Love from me...

Suzie... xxx

Seza,
Thanks,

Yes, let them sleep on it, but dont let it ruin your weekend.
I have been so busy this week, i feel like i have been pecked alive.
I would like an early night, but my nextdoor neighbour is having a kitchen fitted (yes, at this time of night) and i dont think i can compete with the drilling and banging. God knows what is going on in there, but she has had a small army of people working EVERY night . grrrrrr

MC xx

Strange, posted and it vanished

Well that's my excuse if this appears twice!

MC Boo to late night kitchen fitter!

Antone seen MTF Around? I've got some of that Plenty choc she likes!

Seza xx

Hi Seza, yes, just got home. I see its almost a full moon!

I have come home laden with chocolate if anyone wants some.

Isnt it funny what you buy, if you havent eaten all day?

I think almost all of my shopping was sugar based!

Fig chutney on my 'to do' list tomorrow.

MTF.xx

Fig chutney!! Yum yum yum!! lovely with a nice strong cheddar and an oat cake!

Have missed you MTF, how's the wildlife reporting?

Seza xx

Well the starlings are starting to flock again over the Levels.

That really is a sight to behold. I think Springwatch covered it a couple of years ago.

Seza, I will save you a jar, its got an Indian twist to it, with garam masala chucked in for good measure.

Cant wait to hear all about your new home.

MTF.xx

MTF, you need to eat betterer! I always buy my sandwich and fresh fruit on the way home to take to work in the morning, plus a yoghurt, a pack of crisps, and cake type thingy..

I don't do breakfast!

MC, thanks!

JG x

I'm hoping to have a little less wildlife around - at least not coming in my kitchen!

I've just hung a Waspinator in the garden so hopefully that'll keep the little stripy blighters away!


Have just had a txt from my friend who's at V festival in Chelmsford, she goes every year, has an access all areas pass and has never seen a band!

Seza xx

Oh, and figs are the design of the devil! LOL

I hate them!

jG x

Well, having turned it back on suppose I'd better switch it off!

Night all

See you soon

Seza xx

I'm with you there JG - figs yeurrrkkk. Mind you fig chutney might not be so bad with a popadom or two???

mtd ffb xxx

Just finished watching The One Show as I recorded it.

I thought Chris was excellent for his debut, maybe slightly nervous, but who wouldn't be. So pleased he took our expert advice and wore the starry shirt.

My only complaint is the fish and chips. Now I've got to have some as soon as possible.

MM x

I have to agree with #72... less than a minute into the show Chris was his usual 'me me me and my mates' ignoring Alex and Karen, who probably wondered what she was doing there, and thank goodness Karen was there, because she and Matt saved the show!

Sorry, but I was hoping for something better than what we saw tonight and thank goodness it was only 30 mins rather than the one hour that a lot of people thought it was to be on Fridays!! :o(

As the song goes "Things can only get better!"

Sylvia - didn't see the 'me, me, me', I just thought Chris was a bit nervous. Am sure he'll get better. Those who criticise should try it themselves - wonder how they would cope?

xxxx

I actually wandered off bored...too much other stuff that wasn't for me...

Oh well!

Am heading to bed now!

Night all!

JG x

I agree Annie, how many critics could do it themselves?

Chris is a natural for television and radio. And one needs to be a bit egotistical in order to come across well. Just like Wossy, Wogan, Chiles and many others.

MM x

mtd, fresh figs are delicious.

...in moderation, of course!

MTF.xx

Maddy - I once stood in front of a tv camera (Aneka Rice's programme) and made a complete a**e of myself. It's not nearly as easy as it looks. I'm sure I ended up on the cutting room floor after they had a laugh!

xxxx

Best One show ever........... loved the batter run

Sorry folks - getting tired now, off to bed soon. night night all.

Take care.

mtd ffb xxx

Me too Annie, I was once interviewed and needed a few double brandies beforehand. I received much laughter from people the next day!

MM x

Hi Maddy... how is you?
