STILL TOGETHER.

Chris Evans | 11:40 UK time, Monday, 20 August 2007

Morning all, married and...

...just had my first warning light on whilst flying. Carbon monoxide an all. Now no fault with the machine reported after technical inspection, so can only assume it's the fumes coming off've me from the past weeks activities.

What a blast we had, Mrs. Evans looked radiant, girls love getting married, I'd never seen her smile like it.

It was the best feeling I've had for a long time, like all ma' Christmasses coming down the chimney at once.

Now it's on with a life less ordinary and plans for the next forty years (fingers crossed).

Warning light still of, so engine restart and I'll see you on the radio.

P.S. Anyone got a wart ? thinking of talking about the mysterious blemish tonight.

See you on the radio.

CLP 2007.

    Oh, Christophe, how lovely to have you both home safely. You'll be pleased to hear that we kept the Bride and Groom from the top of the cake for you, and I think Tinsel may even have some of the cake in little boxes in case you need to send any anywhere...however the table centres fell to pieces round about Thursday...I think the florist must've used inferior oasis.

    The pic in the Currant Bun looked fab..."girls love getting married" - looked like you woz luvvin it too you big ol' softie!

    Welcome back

    ...and just once...

    Thought the other half had got hungry but no big enough for teeth marks.

    So any advice is gratefully received from anyone reading!

    Re warts - used to have a wart on my nose!!! Not many people noticed but I knew it was there. Eventually went vain and got the doctor to cut it off.

    Born on Friday 13th, thunder and lightening storm in a converted castle in Scotland - had to get a warty nose really! So watch it....

    No Hazel ... it should have been MEEEE!!!

    Sorry, but there's no cake left. Was feeling slightly peckish over the weekend and just couldn't resist.

    Now, warts - apparently, the inside of banana peel has some magical properties that will make your wart disappear. The idea is to tape it over the wart every night till the wart has gone. Now depending on where the wart is, this may hinder your movements somewhat ... my mind is boggling as I speak ...

    Afternoon bloggers and schloggers!

    Christopher, welcome back and just for good measure another congratulations to you and yours!

    I have missed your tones on the wireless on the way home. Tonight I will be glued to the as I expect you to be even more upbeat than normal, if that is possible.

    I agree with bodminbabe when she says warning lights are there for a reason! Take care and get it fully checked out before the next trip. Better safe than sorry!

    As for warts, I do have one on my left hand (3rd finger) gives me no trouble and has been there for ages. Not contagious as far as I know and I have more things to worry about than that so I say let it be! I will be interested to hear what your show has to say this evening.

    Later one and all.

    No warts here though - upon inspection of the work colleagues (prior to security escorting me out of the building again) we are blemish free....nearly....

    Busy weekend, Special Friend met my mum yesterday. Haven't spoken to her since, but she'll be on the phone later to give me her verdict, I'm sure.

    Had a great surprise planned for him tonight, but unfortunately, have to postpone - just one of those things really :-(

    Welcome back Chris, glad all went well. Take care in that flying machine!

    My son had warts on his hands when he was very young. We lived in Ireland for a few years and one day on the bus an old Irish lady told me to "buy" them off him for 10p each. I did and within 6 months they had all gone! I was and still am amazed, don't know quite what happened, but it certainly seemed to work!

    I won't hear the show tonight but for the record, I don't have any warts, but apparently I have a cracking birthmark on my b*m! Ahem! As Hazel would say ..... that's not for here!

    ...and if you REALLY must...

    Warts are a viral infection of the skin. If you scratch them, they will spread, as the virus is highly transmittable. If you ignore it and try not to fret about it, then it will probably go away of it's own accord, but they are the sort of thing, like cold sores, that will probably reappear whenever you are run down, or under a lot of pressure.

    Put a couple of drops of tea tree and one drop of lavender oil on a little bit of cotton wool, and stick this over the wart with a plaster. Every day for about a week and all should hopefully be ok.

    ...and R-E-L-A-X...

    Warts... hmmmm my Granny always used to say you should rub them with a piece of bacon then bury the bacon in the garden and as the bacon rotted the wart would dissapear. Now I have no idea if this works as I've never had a wart but it sounds like such an ace old wives remedy that it really should!

    Congrats and Welcome back.

    I did have a wart on my elbow, just before my sisters wedding 21 years ago. I met my husband to be the week after and after three weeks were discussing all the bad things about ourselves, and I said, "oh oh Oh - I have one very bad thing, this wart..." and when I looked. Was gone.

    However. Last week. 21 years to the day (and the wart was there on Wedding day, because I wore an "invisible" plaster to hide it, flipping thing was back. I think it is on the other arm, but same place. But no worries. I ripped it off. Now I just have a bit scab.

    A timely reminder to us all


    A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

    She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room, "Why are you down here at this time of night?"

    The husband looks up from is coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly. The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes I do," she replies.

    The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?" "Yes,I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'" "I remember that too" she replied softly.

    He wiped another tear from his cheek and said......"I would have gotten out today."

    Welcome back old chap. So glad to hear that all went well.

    We have just received bad news about Mrs MfR's dad. It is at times like these that you really get to put life into perspective. I have had times where I have felt sorry for myself over the past year or so (stress, insomnia etc), but in the grand scheme of things none of it is that important and I shouldn't get so worked up about it.

    No, life is for living. Squeeze every moment you can out of it because you never know what is hiding round the corner. I don't mean that to sound negative, just if you want to do something, go somewhere or tell someone something, do it. Now.

    Short week this week. We'll have ARF on while we slap some paint on the walls of the hallway. Personally I hate DIY of any description, but needs must.

    Be very happy everyone.

    So sorry to hear about your dad-in-law. Hopefully his situation can be helped.

    You are so right about something like this putting life into perspective. I have learned over the years, losing people you love makes you see what's really important. There is only today, so we have to make it count.

    Mela Fernandez #52: your comment to Chris was very wise and lovely. It touched me because I have also had a long marriage. I try not to think about losing my husband, but realistically neither of us can live for ever. And I really now do regret all the wasted time arguing over doing the dishes and how come he never washes his own clothes?! It's all so stupid, but complaining about stupid things is part of life, I guess.

    On a happier note - hope everyone has a good Tuesday!

    Not wishing it away, but all the time Badger is in hospital, none of the washing up is getting done. J, thank you for your concern. It isn't anything major, he's just having his stripes adjusted.

    Gingembre, I lay awake at night thinking about your knees. But that obviously isn't for here. You do make me worry though...you have a long time left to play tennis, so why don't you wait until the docs have decided what they are gonna do with you...until it is really, really better...PLEASE!

    ...and Mela Fernandez, that is one of the most beautiful and sad posts I have ever read...angels can't be here all the time...more is the pity...

    Morning all

    Mela # 52 - condolences to you, that must have been a very hard time, your word to Chris are lovely, and something we should all take heed of.

    MfR - sorry to hear about your father in law, it does somehow put life into perspective doesn't it, when you receive unexpected news.

    Well only 4 days left at work for me (after today) and to be honest I can't bloody wait. My MUST DO list has 7 things on which are all fairly mind numbingly boring but hey ho, needs must and all that!

    Then approx 5 weeks at home before the baby is born - I can't wait!!

    To anyone needing a slight pick me up

    c(_)

    Have yourself a cup of tea - it solves everything you know!

    CATS tonight at Brum Hippodrome - should be fun although not sure I'll fit in the seat!

    Aw bless their ickle chuchie faces. Mr. and Mrs.E. Hurrah and welcome back.

    All this talk of the warts though. Eeee. Let me tell you I'm currently in Llandudno, me mother and Aunty Dot's answer to Bondi Beach, and this must be the wart capital of the world.

    I love old biddies. My old granny used to say "Eee it's grand bein' old. Kids and old folk can get away with murder you know." And she did. Regularly.

    Somebody mentioned honey as a wart remedy, which reminds me; did anybody hear Wogan this morning read out a tale from some eejit who stayed in a b&b in Dublin. When the landlady presented him with one of those ickle jars of honey with his breakfast toast, he declared, "Why, Mrs. Murphy, I didn't know you kept a bee."

    Hahahaha marvellous.

    Thanks to yous all for your kind thoughts re. Aunty. So sweet and kind. In particular Debbie, you're in the middle of your own similar trauma; but can I say that you may be feeling apprehensive but you'll be glad when you've made your little eulogy. You can do it.

    When my dearly loved and greatly missed ickle daddy died, some 16 years ago now, it was put to me that my sister and I should do the readings. At the time I was horrified but soon stepped up to the plate when I thought of dad saying, "Go on, Valerie Bombshell, you can do it.." (mind you that was usually when he wanted a cup of tea bless him..).

    The church was packed to the rafters and in retrospect I don't know how I did it, but up I stepped to the rostrum I could only just see over, in me best black hat that he used to take the mickey out of, and did the reading, and it empowered me in some strange way. I'd always drawn strength from him and now was no exception.

    The best part, though, was afterwards, when one of the rugger buggers in attendance said to me, "That was excellent, well done. And don't worry what you looked like. All we could see was an eagle in a hat."

    Bloody bless him. Hahaha.

    And Cheryl. I can understand your anger at being put on the spot like that. That was a mistake; I'd had time to make a decision but that must have been awful for you. But please forgive the perpetrator of the deed, stored anger is never a good thing, it rots the soul.

    As the Genius daughter always says to me, "Build a bridge, mum, and get over it."

    Must go now, there's a couple of seagulls eyein' up me raspberry Mivvi.

    A Bientot.

    This would only apply if the wart was in an accessible place!!

    But if you lick a wart 1st thing every morning, it will eventually disappear. The very first spit from your mouth is acidic and will then "burn" the wart eventually.

    Clodagh - 'build a bridge and get over it' - wise words indeed. Must admit though if I'd been feeling cross and my girl had said that to me I'd have been tempted to shove my mivvi in her mush!

    Mela - a truly lovely post. I am sorry for your loss and I wish you well.

    Mary - missed you yesterday - glad you're back at work - but how typical they didn't stock up on supplies before your return!

    Special Friend was disappointed, but never mind, he'll get the surprise when he's least expecting it!

    Jo - four days left??? YAY!! have you arranged transport for your very, very special chair yet?

    HL - hi chick!!!

    CLP's nuptials have made me go all gooey and silly! Must arrange that wedding dress party soon, because otherwise I will start thinking that re-marrying mightn't be such a bad idea after all! "Oh yes it is!" "Oh no it isn't!"....

    Sorry - have bought tickets to Panto in Jan!!!

    KW - watch that knee! Tennis won't do it any good at all - all that chopping and changing direction for goodness sake!

    Righty, back to it. D-day for my project is very close now, which means that everyone around me is going bonkers mad. Fruit loops!

    However, I did say the 'F' word this morning - very loud in the office! Not sure who was more surprised, me or my colleagues!

    Love to you all,

    Thank you all for your concerns over my thoughts of playing tennis and you're all right so I've called off and will await further medical clearance. It's just soooo frustrating.

    So, Stansted this morning....

    ...got there in excellent time, jumped out of the car at the drop off zone, as did the parents, heard this locking noise and the car had locked itself with the engine running and the keys (and my phone) inside it!!!! Thanks to a man in a yellow van who called himself the 4th emergency service for breaking into my car after I'd stood for an hour in the rain wearing shorts and a tshirt. Me mum & dad got off on time and I'm safely back in the arms of the gorgeous MrsW.
