WELL THAT WORKED.
Good film discussion yesterday and it all means that...
...basically I print out every film title that appeared on yesterday's blog (including gorgeous george's top 100) and watch them over the next few years, yes that seems to have definitely worked.
So Autumnwatch last night, apparently NOTHING happened, well that's the chance you take I suppose. We made the mistake of watching the current episode of Spooks and then next weeks which you can get to see over on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 3 half an hour later. This is just basically one huge mistake for two reasons. Obviously we have't got one to watch next week now and secondly I was so tired I didn't really enjoy the bonus episode anyway AND it all finished so late, I was knackered when i woke up this morning.
Too much, too damn much.
Simple, simple, simple what's wrong with me ?
Tonight staying in The Big Smoke so gonna chill out at the cinema and then not have to rush back 60 miles home for another bleary eyed desperate attempt at some shut eye.
Just been on the biccie run, settled down to a nice cuppa and realsied that I've picked up the wrong packet of biscuits in the shop, some weird white chocolate and fruit flavour. Gutted.

Oooh Dear CLP not like you to be at 6's and 7's is it? In a way it's good to know that even you have days when you're not firing on all cylinders though no doubt it won't sound that way once you're on air at 5!
I'm going to celebrate my friend "small person's" birthday this evening, just pop round to her house, take her a bottle of bubbly (the flowers were delivered earlier) and have a girlie chin wag. Bliss!!!

ps. Booboo now prepared to go out in the dark as long as I'm with her and she's on a lead awwww sweeet!
Bleurgh, white chocolate, bleurgh again!!!!! That is so disappointing. Can you not smile sweetly and get someone to go out again??
No more film talk then - just to say Scent of a Woman will make you want to take up the Tango!
You did make me laugh last night CLP, talking about how gross you'd look with a tattoo! And Jonny's theory that you have to have strong arms to have a tattoo, no matter where it is on your body ha ha ha ... and where's Sal's tattoo????????? Hmmmmmmmmm????? That could be a new party game, pin the tat on the Sal ...
A bientot

Yes , it was a nice reminder of the films
we haven't seen for a while....

Chris,
I never, ever, (no matter how tempting) stay up to watch the "bonus" episode of anything. For the very reasons you have quoted. However, you learn from your mistakes and move on!
And it's good you are staying in town tonight - enjoy your evening and then you don't have to drive home at some ungodly hour.
I have a fabulous evening lying ahead: cook a chicken stir fry; clean kitchen; iron; clean bathroom. Couldn't I just come along to the cinema with you and Natasha, instead?

Christophe! What a wizard wheeze! You are in for some lovely sunday afternoons in...when you and Mrs CLP aren't dashing about like the blue-bottomed flies we all know...
Ah yes Missy. Definitely Sundays.
But, CLP, I refer to my comment earlier today regarding last nights Autumn Watch.
Bill Oddie's "Snatch of the Day"
followed by
Kate Humble's "Let's take a look at the Beavers"
Worth every second of non-event for the last 5 minutes!
mmmmmmmm nice

Today is a Blustery Day.
Pooh fans will appreciate that.
Did anyone else cry at the end of "The House at Pooh Corner". I so did!

Mrs Brit Out Of Water hasn't seen a single episode of Spooks in her life, so the DVDs now sit on our shelf, awaiting to be used as part of the next stage of my ongoing Education in British TV for Spouses course. We're still on the "Life On Mars" section of the syllabus right now though...
DPJ
Debbie, hope you feel more cheerful and better soon. Don`t worry about having a moan or expressing your emotions here, I`m sure Christophe and bloggers won’t mind. I expect I have got on loads of peoples nerves with my rantings and woe`s at some time or another. Sorry guys.
I think we are in for a windy few days, according to the weather forecast.
Christophe enjoy the big smoke, I`m enjoying fresh air!

Evening all,
Mr E .... right, so you're off the the pictures ... what are you going to see? Details........ I must have them - please?
Wilsmar
PS I'm off home when I've drunk this cup of tea.
PPS Didn't Ricardo Montalban take care of Tattoo?
the rockford files was on at 8-10 tuesday till 9-00
Oaft,
I mentioned Police Lost and Found Auctions here last week, after CLP had been at the Bernie Auction. My Husband told me not to, cause then EVERYONE would go... and what does CLP do.... flipping announces them on the radio...
What you like CLP?
Eh?
DWNB
I'm tired too Chris, hubby's away for a few days so i might sleep a bit better without him snoring!
what's that Jim Carrey film where his whole life is a TV programme? I like that one, and the one with Kate Winslet.
I love tim burton's films especially big fish and corpse bride, really fantastic.
debbie, hope you are OK, understand why you might not want to go into things on here but thinking of you anyway.

CLP. Help! I've been going on for ages about how brilliant Mick Hucknall was on TFI when he sang Gotta Find me an Angel with no band. Just yourself playing a CD backing track. Problem is every little useless thing in the world is on YouTube but this isn't! I know its a long time ago and you dont like to talk about it but come on Chris. Sort it out please. Pretty please?
Thanks
Johnny Boy
Aiyaaa. Yaaraaight.
Off back to Dublin again tomorrow so shan't be able to listen in for a few days, boo.
Wish me luck, I'm with Ryanair this time so I'm curious to see what this Priority Check-in that I was forced to pay for is all about; and am sure me bag will be takin' a 2-day detour via Bangkok, therefore I shall be wearin' 3 lots of clothes, 2 hats and 16 pairs of knickers and just checkin' in me pyjamas, lipgloss, swiss army knife and Rita Klebb shoes.
See yous Monday if I'm not in Guantanamo Bay.
Have one for me. And make it a large one. Hurrah!
Clodagh.xx
hi can you emailme the web site for the police auctions thnx xx
Morning all,
The only annual fim I have to watch is Love Actually and I watch it in the run up to the Christmas period. This year I'm going to let my girls watch it as I feel they are old enough and it is going to be a big family event.
Actually I'm glued to Autumn watch - like hazel love I'm enjoying all the snatch & beaver talk - how can they say that without laughing or maybe it's just me?
Do any of you have favourite words? Mine at the moment is undercrackers - I heard someone use it instead of knickers or pants or what ever word you use. I just love it and try to get it into as many sentances as I can. How about guys am I the only one with fav words?
Catherine

P.S. UNDERCRAKERS !!!!!!
Em.
The Truman Show. About the only half reasonable thing he's ever done. Mind you, I did quite like The Number 23.
Chris.
I've got a car you may be interested in. An F40. For sale. Yep.
I'm going to turn the seasons on their head and play tennis tonight. Haven't played all year, but now winter has arrived I'm dusting down the bat, giving my balls a quick squeeze and heading onto the court.
Anyone for Pimms?
Peace & love
MfR
PS She wore lemon.
Morning team CLP
Sorted the eldest daughter's high school choice for next year last night!! She's going to the same one that me and her mum went to which is kinda nice.
Phoenix - poke returned! Then you disappeared? Add me as a friend etc etc
Saw GP yesterday re: knee, no better advice other than I need to try and avoid this surgery at all costs??? I am seeing physio again next week then have appt with work medical staff to decide on way forward. I'm going to ask for a 2nd opinion from another surgeon I think.
Debbie - hope that you're ok, I agree with the majority that you are more than welcome to talk on here (only if you want to though?)
Dentist later today - hmph
KWx
how good were the rockford files best ever pi programme top man james garner
Right guys and Girls,
Gingembre has created a group on facebook called CLP Bloggers. Lets make this group work and if you can Chris, get involved.
Hope your all ok. I've got yet another cold. The immune system has taken a bashing. And I'm mean't to have a flu jab tomorrow. So going to spend the day wrapped up and knitting.
Hope you are all keeping warm and well. Missy xxxx
Happy thirsty Thursday! Have decided to stay dry tonight, as have been drinking every night this week and feel like a need a rest. And I'm only 23, how sad.
Cathmel - I'm a lover of words - 'undercrackers' is a good 'un. I tend to call knickers 'grundies'. I've been trying to reintroduce regional colloquialisms into my everyday vocab and, being from Leicester, these include "ooh ya date" (= "ooh ya devil" or similiar) and "you daft 'apporth" ( = "you silly thing" etc).
Thursday again. Em M it's the Truman Show. I thought it was superb until it seemed like they couldn't think of a way to finish it! Mind you, I couldn't think of a way to finish it either...
...missed Autumn Watch last night, but I'm sure there were a few in your endos tossed about...
So, Kiera Knightley. I LOVE Love Akshully except the bits with her in. Likewise Pirates of the Johnny Depp. She reminds me of Susan Tully who also used to walk about with her mouth open all the time and just one blank expression. My Gran'ma would say she looks like she's catching flies! Good luck to her all the same. Can't be doing with Andie McDowell either or Patrick Swayze but then it wouldn't do if we all liked the same things now would it?
Now then. Is it me? I keep coming across things I thought I'd done but haven't. Nothing earth-shattering or of vital international importance...just stuff...
is the iron off
love

Hi there,
Just popping in quickly, thanks for being so kind guys. Will be back later, have lots to do before take little man to school. My reasons for feeling so awful don't even seem like good ones, which makes me feel worse. I would love to explain more but you never know who's lurking (regular bloggers, I'm sure you know what I mean!) I will attempt an edited version when I have five minutes!
Gingembre, second opinion is always a good idea by the way.
Catch up later, have a good day all.
Love
Debbie xx
Happy Thirsty Thursday!
Except to RosieRoo who has had a Thirsty Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!
Gingembre - please don't "think" about it - get a second opinion. We are too polite when it comes to the medical profession and we tend to think we shouldn't make a fuss. You are getting conflicting advice, so make sure you get someone else's opinion.
Hazel - When those adverts for hair colour come on with Andie MacDowell, I have to mute the tv. Either that or I will scream in pain - that voice! And Andie - you are the worst actress ever, love!
Good day to you all!
C xx
I`m pretty sure Christophe wouldn`t want to resurect TFI Friday, and host it himself.
So assuming we could resurect TFI does anyone have ideas who could host it?
I`d go for Billy Connolly or Al Murray aka The Pub Landlord. Watched him on tele last week, soooo funny and talented.
TFI Back
Morning all. Gingembre, i went to the dentist this morning. I never realised you could get dental floss into such strange places!!!!
Deffo get a second opinion my friend.
Well, dog home check lady is coming in a couple of hours - wish me luck!!!
T xxxxxxxx
I'm not being sarcastic one and all
But........... thanks Missy for the You tube Spice girls!
Oh dear.... five ladies on an ego trip! Why don't they put their video's on the top shelf which is what they might excel at.
Singing is not their best attribute.
It's all false boobs in your face and makeup.
orrible..........
Sorry I was meaning to add that young impressionable girls watch that sort of trash and think it is the way to behave walking around semi naked. It's time this country had better standards.
Lets have Music instead.
Yo CLP & ALL Blog Dudes,
Bingo Star ere.
Clodagh - Aiyaaa Yaaraaight!!!!!!!!
General Chat - It was interesting ter see all the different film titles pop up again.
Dan The Man - I thought your post on yesterdees blog was very impressive - listing the Top 100.
Must 'ave taken ages to writ Dan man!!!!!
CLP - Dat iz commitment ter the blog friend!
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM - I don't know what ter do over me astro.... I don't know what sign ter start with!
The obvious choice is the leader of the blog, CLP's sign aka Aries.
But then that will mean Pisces coming last which, pisceans being sensitive, might send them over the edge.
But then if pisces are last then they might get the most professional write up as i'll be more experienced at writing up astro after 11 previous write ups.
But then that could mean my least professional would be Aries which is an insult ter our blog leader CLP.
But then maybe i'll be trying 'arder on my first & 'ence do a better job of it.
But then that, again, could mean by the time I come ter the last, aka pisces, i'll be so laid back after doing 11 previous that pisces will get a write up full of mistakes. They say familarity breeds contempt!
Tell yer wot.... i'll start with the sign of Mercury.
'old on, old on. 'oldddd on..... am just getting a message in me ear piece..... am geting told "Mercury iz not a zodiac sign"!!!!
I don't know what ter do CLP/ blog friends..... am totally confused, any advice?
Chow!
Good afternoon bloggers and lurkers
Gingembre - sorry was at work so couldn't stop long.
Waiting to get broadband working again at home - trying to put a new wireless router/modem on the line but the link connection to the exchange is still down on the other box - spent 3 hours on hold on the telephone last night and then when they closed for the night they cut me off................. grrrrrr
Will be changing suppliers very soon.
Rant over.
Tinsel good luck with the doggie home tester - I'm sure you're very suitable.
Missy - hi and the CLP group is a very good idea - good luck
Debbie - have good wishes today
Hazel/Clodagh - you are cracking me up today.
I'm off out tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night with Horse Riding lesson on Sunday - Monday looks promising for a rest......
Have a good hump day everyone I've not mentioned - Gingembre - do get a second opinion it's not worth carrying around a bad knee injury especially when the cold weather is now arriving.
Phoenix out
Yeh right ..... like Andie McDowell colours her own hair at home. Get real!!
Sorry for my absence of late. Brief catch-up:-
Show in West End last Thursday was OK. Not the best musical I've ever seen but it pleasantly passed two hours.
Weekend was fun and filled with beer and fireworks.
Chubby Club: it's still coming off. 12 in total now (pounds, not stones!)
Hugs to all blog friends with things on their minds. I've been lurking and thinking of you. Honest.
missy/Hazel: today I'm wearing my new black and gold cowboy boots from "that" auction site. A bargain at under a fiver but they're higher than I'm used to so I look like I've been on the gin every time I attempt to walk anywhere. And it makes me about 5'10" which is kinda scary for the little men in the office - but really funny!
Films: every Christmas I have to watch Love Actually. And I cry every time. Can't be doing with the Keira woman either. Have a meal, for goodness sakes!
Also love Pulp Fiction, About a Boy, Notting Hill, My Best Friends Wedding, Bridget Jones Diary, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the daddy of them all ... Dirty Dancing.
CLP - if there's any of your white choccy bics left please pass them this way. I love white chocolate and have another week until I have to face the scales again!
Right, I'll pop back later to catch up again.
Love hugs and kisses my dahlings!
CtD xxxxxxxx
Russell Brand for TFI.
Post-watershed, naturally!
CtD xxxxx
I knew there is an extra 'i' in familiarity.
I was right the first damn time..... give me strength ter breath!!!!!
Sneaking back in through the back door .....
after all films CLP will be on about the best ever albums so he can mug up on his music.
Cars - my favourite was my mitsubishi cordia (I imported this one from Germany) it was the non-turbo variety with an overdrive shift for each gear - well fun
Must dash off before I'm seen in....
ciao
phoenix
YAY PLUM! Best thing about the Spice Girls is erm...er...no. I give up trying to think of something. Oh, yeah, Mel C.
Tinsel, I hope the Dog Police found your fixed abode of suitable standard in which to house a hound...and wilsmar...I may be needing that poultice! Yer man here at work said he'd be bringing in some ultra pokey pain killers for me today and then forgot. I'm starting to wonder if I would akshully be more comfortable WITH a broomstick shoved etc etc
Anyhoo, I meant to mention the white chocklit biscuits yesterday and didn't, but I think I may have had these very ones before...and thoroughly enjoyed them too!
Dearest Christophe, I do hope that the team weren't too down on you. Having said that, if you'd been Wallis and Grommit, you'd have bought the wrong trousers so there is a small blessing for you eh?
...and Bingo...why not do them on a rotating basis...then you'd be turtley profeshnial in just a short twelve months!
Today is whipping by, the wind is whipping by, and now I want boots. Can't imagine why.
Black high boots
love
hazel

ps I meant to say also
Me for TFI.
Well you've gotta be innit to winnit aincha!
Last Wednesday I was listening to you whilst driving home to my home in Evesham from Newbury. You had an article on tattoo removal by a different process than laser. My daughter has several tattoos and is desperate to rid herself of them, but like the forgetful old biddy that I am I cannot remember the name of the site your specialist gave. Can you help please?
ps love the show Chris you have like a very fine wine improved so very much with age.
In november last year you had a discussion on tattoo removal without using a lazer. stupidly I didn't take down details of the specialist you were talking to and where it can be done. My daughter is desperate to get rid of the tattoos she foolishly had done in her rebelious teens.
Grateful for any information
Helen x
