Hope you had a wonderful holiday - this time tomorrow it will be a distant memory!

Sorry to hear about Monaco (isn't the place a damn bore?!). Yep, our weather is AWFUL but the food is relatively cheap!

That's me made a total fool of meself in me letter ter aych R aych bringing te 'er attention all the good selfless work all of you R2 dudes do for world peace!!!

It's all damn stress as usual!!!!

Chow!

PS I'm onna fast train ter London as I write..... i'll fill you in with more details later all!!!!!

Hello Mr Evans and all in blogland.

Don't you all feel a huge relief that the man is back from what sounds like a superb holiday.

I have to agree that Monaco is just OTT, very expensive, too expensive and if you do as I did, and walk the streets in the blazing sun, TOPLESS, (just talking about men here) soaking in the rays,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you WILL be threatened with arrest. I was told to put my top on instantly or I will be carted off to the local |(5star) prison, fined and let out. If I wanted to catch the rays, the beach and only the beach is the place to be.

So me being the law abiding scouser that I am,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, put me shiiiiirt bakkkk on dead quick like and strolled of down the street, cursing cause it was too hot and then bought a coke for £3, that was 14 years ago, rip off or what#'??????????

Anyhooooooooo Mr E,, put on an amazing show tonight cause I missed ya man.

Chow!

Re the price of steak and chips in Monaco, its all relative.

To a multi millionaire 75 quid is nothing while to some people it is a small fortune.

If there were not people willing and able to pay those sort of prices then restaurants could not charge them.

Evening one and all

Sat here with my rollers in hair and a facepack on, munching pork stratchings.

So nice to have the radio back to normal today, what with Steve Wright chatting to Cliff and talk of the CLP team broadcasting from a jacuzzi... great stuff.

As for the French well... I don't care much for horse and chips anyway.


Guten Haben

Welcome back Chris.

Sounds like you had a ball in my favourite part of the world.

Mrs MfR and I are now suffering from acute tunnel vision - all we can see is the chink of light at the end which is our holiday in the sun.

Not long to go now......

More car washing in Cambridge today, although that'll be it for the time being up there. The M11 was starting to get just a little boring.

This Thursday sees Mrs MfR and I married for ten years. I won't bore you with the normal 'la la la, doesn't time fly' or anything, suffice to say that we are still a couple of kids in love at heart. Albeit kids who get hangovers after a couple of glasses of wine and who ache for three days after a vigorous game of tennis. But kids, nonetheless.

Proper early night tonight. Despite being the resident sleep-guru, I managed to get about an hour last night, so a quick bit of reheated pasta, a couple of chapters of Deaver and then, hopefully, a bit more than forty winks.

Peace chaps

MfR

Howya Chaps and Chappesses and Christoff mon petit grenouille, welcome back haw haw haw et sacre bleu.

Yous little globetrotters yous. Sounds fab. As to the caviar, I'm with you there. What indeed IS that all about.

Reminds me of the time meself, the GBF and his boyfriend and the nightmare cousin Baz and his missus went to see Joan Rivers in Dublin. A couple of Mojitos and a Harvey Wallbanger in the Morrisson followed by 'dinner', ie. one starter and twelve bottles of wine, and off we went to the theatre. By the time we got there I swear I was seeing pink elephants and spent the entire performance deciding which of the three floating Joan Rivers to focus on.

And worse was to come when we spilled joyfully out on to the street and spotted Louis Walsh. Now Baz's missus is a rabid FP spotter and therefore shoved the camera into Damian's hand, grabbed me by the epiglottis and rugby-tackled poor Louis to the tune of "Ooo, Louis!! Have we got the X Factor?" To which Louis replied, "Hmm. Max Factor, more like.."

Bloomin' cheek. Any road up bless him he posed like a saint for the photo but unfortunately Damian's aim isn't what it should be after Mojitos, wine and Absinthe and he cut all our heads off.

Eejit.

Anyway hurrah we're going again to see Joan in a couple of weeks at Vicar Street and this time I'm takin' me billy can and a round of fish-paste sandwiches. Just in case. I shall report back.

Clodagh.xx

By the way. MfR.

I had a quick dip in whilst in West Cork a couple weeks ago and read that lovely story about your father. What a lovely, fantastic story. Fair play to you, sunshine.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh you have been sooooo missed with your witisms - where have you been hiding - not off stalking celebrities again I hope - if so do tell all.

Welcome to ThunderclapN to Christophe Lambie Pie's blog.

Beesmum thanks for the link - have instigated much.

Air Festival fever is hitting here along with the new age travellers who decided they would watch with their caravans from the allocated disabled car park.... hmmmmm

Have to work so will miss Thurs/Fri shows and off to my mums for the weekend - I hope the show goes well and that loads of people enjoy themselves.

MfR "car cleaning" hmmm not what you usually do - I hope that you aren't enjoying cambridge overmuch and that you are returning to Rugwick Towers very soon.

Your mention on Steam engines reminded me to avoid the A354 to Salisbury as it has loads of them on it for the Dorset Steam Fair this weekend.

All the best to all bloggers and lurkers.

Howie Clodagh! grand to see you back on t'blog!

As for DtM, I'll have some of what you're on babes!

Sweet dreams ;-)

Ms Diva x x x

Happy hump day for tomorrow to everyone bloggers and lurkers included.

It is so nice to have CLP back on the radio, I too heard the rumour about the "one" show and I enjoy Adrian Chiles as presenter is he changing places for an experiment with Chris?

I also think that Rob Brydon makes a very good DJ and his Deliah remains an amusing memory.

The stairs to heaven (bed)* are calling, catch all the commentaries Thursday.


*other places available

Clodagh you have been so missed!breath of fresh Iish air billycan and sarnies included. Mind - Rivers would sober me up pronto! I loved Matt's story too! missed first time and pestered until he told it again.

Talking of which - watch those boss type hands in all that water Matt! not used to it young man - you'll get wrinkles!

You're welcome phoenix!

Trouble with spaniels they walk perimeters and that includes beaches - me feet are killing me! and he's on fox watch! sitting by patio door with the odd "umph" sound just in case - bonkers!

Beesmum xxx

Howya Phoenix and Cheryl, ah tanks!

Haven't bin hiding, though, just frantically busy over t' Irish Sea, and am off again on Thursday. Still, keeps me outa mischief and off street corners in the leopard skin hot pants and pointy bra.

Ah, me lost youth.

Clodagh.xx

Hoorah hes back...was begining to think he would never come back...have to say thought it was next week so missed the show tonight and cant be ar***d to listen now with my connection bodged up by BT....200kbs! They need shooting...again really nice to have you back Chris and please please watch the Pedigree Dogs Exposed on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ player and contact Joe Inglis at
joe@petskitchen.co.uk to join him in highlighting the plight of our poor doggies....thanks.

Sara xx

OMG phoenix now that would be something - a swap chiles and evans!

DTM I second Diva whatever you're on me too please!

Beesmum xxx

bm xx

Evening each!

thanks for all the best wishes re the ghost hunting - we will do one more i think - just to prove to ourselves that there really is nothign out there! (controversial i know!)

Great to have CLP back - although im a big Maconie fan i have to admit! Loved the exhausted Olympians bit tonight - very heartwarming and hear them all still excited!

CLodagh, i dont beleive i have made ur aquantaince but have read your post for many a year - welcome back! (and how is Renee by the way...hope she is doing well..)

Everyone else - scrabs, wordscraper etc all on the go - i need to win one at least so pls go easy!

Hope everyone has a great evening (fox chasing and whatever else!) and a great humpday - my day off - wardrobe clearing out so GM has somewhere to put his clothes when he starts lodging here next week!:-) ( 3 wardrobes to myself IS a LITTLE excessive i do agree by the way!)

Hugs n stuff to all..

mSc x

PS - Annieg - been quiet today after the toast...hope u ok!..x

Scoob - did the other way round - I moved in and took over one then two then two more purchased wardrobes! Listen and learn!

BM xxx

You too, B-smum? Hurrah I bet you had a Berlei Lucky Check too, with matching suspender belt..? By the crin meself and my bessy mate thought we were top glamourpusses in ours, even if mine was stuffed with socks..

mSc, Renee is fine, thanks, so much so she is misbehaving again and had to be reprimanded for sending for the Firemen again to replace the battery in her smoke alarm. If Damian had bin here at the time it'd have put 'im in hospital.

Bless her.

Anyroad. Am in eager anticipation of this 'ere hot tub, sounds a spiffing wheeze, I wish I was there to do a bit of goosin' and launchin' the water balloons, hurrah. Just as well I'm at the Warfarin clinic with Renee, I'd be there in the rubber flowery bathin' cap with me catapult.

Clodagh.xx

Berlei that's the chappie clodagh! with stitchin round and round!!! Yay go Renee ! fireman fans all here!!

On way with bobbly swimsuit - sinks when wet - meet you there - water in the hot tub - not after I hop in!!?

BM xxxx

Just a quickie....hello Clodagh good to see you here, please don't leave it long before you're back! x

Great to have CLP back too tonight, must know more about these tv show stories though. I hope that he doesn't leave Drivetime!

Won't be back for a little while, will try to lurk/catch up when I get a chance.

Loads'a'love

Debbie x x x

Deb -you OK?

BM xx

Deb - hope u ok... please stay around if you can...we miss u!

mSc xx

Clodagh: You are like waiting for a bus, none to be seen then three come at once.... thanks for cracking my facepak.

Pheonix.. What a shame you will miss the air festival.. actually I am rather peeved I have no corporate entertainment arranged so I am wondering if the Travellers might be a possible second choice for Pimms.
Oh no.. visions oh being towed in a Caravan to the Dorset Steam fair...

Bobbly swimsuits, oh hahahaha now I shall have to go lie down, that's brought it all flooding back, Camping Cala Gogo on the Costa Naffo circa 1962, the sister going straight through the deckchair and doing an excellent impersonation of a stranded (angry) beetle; the DDF Eric turning puce tryin' to inflate a li-lo I'd stuck me Townsend Thoresen Ferry badges into; Uncle Jim refusin' to sleep in the tent in rural France after he met a bug in the middle off the night that doffed its pit-helmet at him and asked him for a light; everyone eatin' curried beans and custard after I failed spectacularly in my special mission to de-code the tins bought from the Heinz factory at cost because the labels fell off (serves 'em right for tryin' to keep me quiet on the journey); the DDF desperately searching for a toilet and finding one of those ones that are just a porcelain slab with a hole in the corner, doing the business and pulling sharply on the chain...quel dommage, the shower came on... Ah yes, happy days.

And don't mention the swimsuit knitted by Renee that had you in a right dilemma as to which way to face when the waves got a hold of it and very nearly dragged you right under the surf if you stayed in longer than 3 minutes.

Right. Off to the scratcher, perchance to dream..

Clodagh.xx

morning all, what a weekend...

23 golds

Hi to All,

Found this little piece on the Internet which may explain Chris and The One Show.

"³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans is to return to television to host The One Show, it has been confirmed.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One controller Jay Hunt said that Evans would cover for Adrian Chiles when he goes on holiday next year.

Hunt said Evans would do "very well" at hosting the programme, and refuted suggestions that someone with more journalistic credence would be more suitable.

She added that The One Show is "a magazine show with light journalistic items... and that's absolutely something Chris can do."

For brevity, I have abridged the article.

Have a good Wednesday.

hiya

happy hump day!

welcome back to the kirks - great to see yuo had a great holidays!

hiya to clodagh - glad to see that renee is ok

hi to prof plum - loving the image of you in a facepack cracking with laughter

Buenos Dias tout le monde :-)
Hope everyone is ok and that the blog has returned to its lovely, friendly self.

Counting down to my jollydays now - only just over 3 weeks to wait!

Lovely to see CLP back. Whale watching, WOW!!

T xxx

two and a half weeks of work and I'm away too - only in UK but still looking forwadr to it!

super bp x

Hi Superbp - I'm in UK too - Dorset. Can't wait to to for walks on the beach with my lovely doggy!

xxx

we're off to torquay - we can catch up with family and friends in exmouth and have some lazy days on the beach (hopefully!)

Morning all,

Great to have you back Chris. We all missed ya. And durbangirl, great to get the update....we can all breathe out now!! CLP - what an amazing hol, sounds fab, and whale watching would have been my top moment too! Caught some dolphins off Sutherland on hols few weeks ago. Beautiful.

Had really bad night's sleep last night. Woke up at 1.45am and then was after 5 when finally managed t get back to zzzz land again. You know when you can't sleep and all those wee gremlins keep jumping all over your brain and won't go away. No matter how hard you try to think nice thoughts...and was so tired couldn't be bothered getting up for the recommended tea'n'toast. But anyway, in midst of night time gremlin fight, realised that it is so nice to be able to come on here and chat with all you bloggers. Also if BM and CtD were not providing regular blogs it would be really weird. Think you 2 have got your own little blog radio programme there...!!! Anyway just wanted to say it's always nice to see regular bloggers and what's been going on with them. So thank you...all of you.

Just off to get some tea'n'toast now. Post Alfie walk, covered in mud, both of us, and both needing good wash down!!! So see you all soon scrubbed up!

Mornin' campers,

How is everyone?

Have been lurkin' a bit and so know ALL about Cheryl's party, broken toes, zoo trips and the like.

We've just moved back in with Mr P's parents (hopefully only for a month or two) while we look for a new gaff so have been a tad busy.

Gingembre - I bet you're glad you've been out the country for the last two weeks what with Spurs' shocking start to the season. Let's hope we pull it back at Chelsea on Sunday.

CLP - welcome back. YIKES!! 4 grand for caviar? I've never tried it but surely nothing that you merely EAT can be THAT nice? A pair of Christian Louboutins yes, but not something you shove in your mouth!

Rosie x

That was meant to read caught up with some dolphins.....as obv would be locked up by now if had actually caught them..!!

rosie, sometimes it's nice to lurk so with you there. And so nice to kinda know who's who and who's been up to what!! Strange phenomena this blog thing...
