WAT TO GO JOE.
Sports Personality of The Year last night....
... Calzaghe of course had to win. No matter how popular the Hamilton may be you can't vote a none world champ over a world champ, surely that would nay be right.
It was a bit of a giveaway though when they cut to Las Vegas "in case" Calzaghe or Hatton had won when clearly in shot for everyone to see were the two trophies in question. Ha ha.
The biggest moment for me, one which I could barely see it through the floods of tears, was Bobby Robson's standing ovation followed by his speech. The speech of a true statesman, unhurried, meaningful, poignant and of course funny. Hats of to Sir Bob.
The Christmas tree selling went well over the weekend, surprisingly well considering the weather, thanks to everyone who pitched up. We're there again next weekend. Do come down and part with your hard earned cash for a much goodly cause.
Yes I did stay up to watch the fight on Sunday morning. Yes it was worth it. Yes I was gutted. Yes I was knackered for the rest of the day as a result.
And what else ? Oh yes, off to a gig tonight, Led something or other, apparently they're pretty tight.
The Xmas factor kicks in this evening on DRIVETIME, buckle up - ten shows to go to the big ho ho.
Hope everything is swell in your world.

Congratulations on your selling over the weekend Chris.
I hope you took the Blogs comments to heart and wore tights under your trousers - they really work honest!
I am sorry that I haven't been around much - I have a note and I have been reading the comments but I have been up to my eyes in work and a few days off and the dreaded flu job gave me mini flu which I am still kicking off.
The good side is that my home broadband is now back up and running so I will enter more into the spirit (rum, barcadi, brandy etc) of things.
Regards to all and hope you get better gingembre.

Everything Swell.
Sitting in Anticipation.

Led Zep how lucky are you! If only my record player was working I would whack on my old lps!
Hey Chris,
Back on the Emerald Isle - glad your tree selling went well for the Hospice - you're a good man . .
Lets get this Christmas thing in motion - downhill and speeding like a runaway train from here on in . .

Hi
If yoy are going to see Led Zep, can I swap your tickets for my kidney - left or right take your pick and one careful owner!

Pllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Gooday one and all
Oh Led Zepplin how fanstatic. I saw them many moons ago at the Kings Hall in Manchester. I am not one for name dropping, but got to meet the great Robert Plant who offered me a bottle of beer. I was only 15 at the time and my reply was No thanks I don't drink.... however I have made up for it since.
Rock on Led Zepp.
Good Afternoon.
Yeeehaaa - here comes Christmas!!!!!
I have a date tomorrow night at a nice restaurant. HOWEVER, I have just looked at the website for the nice place and I don't like ANYTHING on their menu!
That's not a good start, is it? As well as that, I sort of regret making arrangements, because to be honest, I'm not sure I want to continue with this dating lark and it feels a bit wrong to go out with the guy tomorrow, knowing that I probably won't see him again.
Ah well, you never know, I may be swept off my feet (although I DO know that's highly unlikely) and make plans to see him again.
Nothing ventured... ;-)

Oh Christophe, so TERRIBLY sorry, but I am really not into any sort of sport...although I am always proud if we win something...obviously!
Am well up for Christmas...would have been just a tad more up had I made it through the filter and got on to ARF just gone, but hey ho, enjoyed it just the same! And my Vivaldi concert to wot I went was sublime and very festive making too! My arms are still aching from all the clapping which is a tad worrying as I thought I was fitter than that.
Anyhoo...DWNB you intrigue me...Phoenix...good to see you pet, and you have a note too...and Plum, binna long time sinsi rockunrolled etc...you could have sold that bottle on 3bay!
All those missed opportunities
love

Christophe, have a great time tonight, and very well done on the trees. CHASE is such a good cause and close to our hearts too...
Oh Oh Oh, trying to get into the spirit of things, but finding it very hard due to WORK !!!
I also stayed up for the fight, also gutted and Im still suffering from lack of shut eye. I need to go buy a tree, but i think your to far south from me CLP.
how sweet was the little girl Holly singing. Bring on Xmas !!!!!

Hi people :
On the subject of "Xmas factor", I see from
skimming the papers that you ones south
of the "Border" will be getting the advert
for an infamous soft drink which is a skit
on "The Snowman" cartoon / walking in the air
that ran in Scotland last year. It's very clever.
I think I "posted" a youtube link at the
time. Took me umpteen watches before I
noticed Nessie even made an appearance.
If you want a "sneak preview" (although it
DOES look heaps better full-size on TV) or
indeed just want to watch it again, try :
which allegedly lets you download it (I can't
try it here, our server will block, so I don't
know if it will play full-screen-size) or try :
Enjoy..............
Hi Guys and Girls!
Now writing this at the 'fella's' house as my computer just won't let me post on here so thought I would try here. So thats why I havent been on for what seems ages.
My parents were driving me over here tonight and we were listening to the show when the gob smackers came on and OH MY GOD! They were our own Cheryl the DIVA'S!!!! I nearly screamed! Well done hunny!! I'm so proud!
Hope you are all well and haven't disowned me.I'm now off to the fella's works christmas due! OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! so it should be a laugh luckily its only small and i know some of the people!
Anyway will check back later! love to you all, missy xx
Hey CLP
Have loved you longtime, just want to say thank you, you are a true inspiration and fairly funny (!).
Keep smiling - it's important...

morning all
Big day today, been up ages as I can't sleep (tad nervous). Off to see the various 'knee people' today who at last will all be in the same room. I even have someone acting on my behalf!! I hope it won't be an anti-climax and something gets resolved but who knows eh?
Sammie - hope the meal goes ok, just go with the flow, enjoy the evening and see what happens?
missy - you'd never be disowned sweetie x
Hope everyone has a lovely day, went on the works 'doo' last night to Mambo's and beyond...
...aren't soft drinks just awful after a while? I even started to 'mix my drinks' at one point (cola and lemonade!!??) - crazy fool!!!
Feel like cr@p today but I think that's more to do with worry. Hey ho
Bonnet de douche

Morning all. Feeling much better today after a night on the wagon (apart from one beer - what can I say? A fridgeful of cold Corona is lethal).
Am waiting with baited breath for Friday when I found out whether I passed my OU Literature degree. Fingers and toes crossed.
Sammie - just have fun at the meal. You never know, you might end up falling for him. If in doubt, order soup.
Gingembre - a soft drink hangover? How awful - it's like the worst part of a night out minus the best parts Come on you Spurs!

hEY hAZEL,
mY BOY Was up for selection for National Sports team. Unfortunately didn't make the cut this time... but hey ho... has just made him all the more determined! I think if he is making the selection squad at 16 for national mens team, I think he has a pretty great chance in years to come.

Good morning Christoff!!
Was it good for you?! Looking forward to hearing how blasted away by it you were!!
I have to say, I'm no huge sports fan myself but I do like to see folk justifiably recognised for their abilities.
Got loads to do so will get back later to catch up on everyone's news! Also have a kitten firmly attached to my arm which does not make for easy typing!!
Huggles,
Susan, Highland lass
Hi All,
Didn't clp's show make us all feel cChristmassy yesterday???
I have the decs up and the tree is making the house smell beautiful.
Sammie how did the meal go? Give us all the details.
Steevie - I enjoyed the snowman and so did my girls very funny.
Gingembre - havn't really followed what you are so nervous about but sending you very very positive vibes >>>>>>>>>>>
CtD - you lucky girl x x x
Love me x x
Bah Humbug, and Harrumph!
Been working my nads off for the past three weeks and for the week I have been surrounded by wimmin decorating the office all around me and getting terribly excited! I have now objected to the point where I have my own black and white deckies and a jar of humbugs on my desk!
Point made, bring on easter! Yes I am a scumbag, a maggot, but not a cheap lousy faggot! Happy Christmas! My Arse!

Afternoon all.
Not sure what happened but I posted a HUGE THANK YOU earlier to CLP for playing my Christmas Crackers and it's not appeared.
Is the blog broken again????
Anyhoooooo - thanks hunny bunny CLP. Me and Mr Diva were most excitable whilst my toons were playing - it was almost disasterous in as much as the fajitas almost got frazzled in the process!
Man - I love Christmas!!
And how fab was Reindeer Lady???
Work is busy but that's good as it makes the days go quicker. Throat still croaky but never mind!
How was the Led Zep concert then CLP? Do tell ...
missy - grand to hear from you lass - glad it's all going hunky dorey well for you and the man with the drumming arms!
cathmel - ta! Monkey Government! Have you read it yet? Did you see "him" on Have I Got News ... - brilliant!
Gingembre - hope all goes well with the knee docs. You know where we are - keep us informed, if you would be so kind!
Sammie - good luck on the date tonight - likewise with Gingembre ...... do tell (if there's owt to tell, that is!)
Dissin Dave - oh baby lighten up! Banish those humbugs and replace them with a tin of commercially available chocs (you know the ones!) Life's too short to be all Bah Humbug - and humbug gives you wrinkles!
It's Christmas!!!!!!!!
Righteo - back to work - next job - finishing off the office decs - hurrah!!! Then gotta nip out to pick up a hamper for someone. How lovely!
Lovin' the seasonal vibes gang!
