I am anticipating 2 hours full of Sugarbabes and Girls Aloud. I think Alice may well be the only song I am likely to enjoy.

There's me, being an old oldie g*t!

MW, a!

I hope not...

Good start so far though! There must be parents all around the country asking their kids to request songs so hopefully we should get a good bunch!

(Loved the staycation...)

Hello guys

Think yourself lucky, if little man was requesting you would all be listening to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go before 7pm!

Debbie x

I am wondering why the kids are all so middle class? Are they real or from some stage school I wonder.

Hi Chris

How come you've just had 2 weeks away in a hot country and you're as white as that!!

Keep up the good work.

Hope Enzo's doing well

It's very quiet on here tonight... Where is everyone?

I'M 40 TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know why I felt the need to put that in capitals... A little hysterical methinks?

Right, where's that polyfilla?!!!

Hi Chris
Great music tonight.
We shared a great hot tub on the verandah of Morning Mist on Vancouver Island - absolutely fab - wonderful sunset watching the sun going down over the Pacific!

Happy birthday Pandagirl! 40 is the new 20, actually it's not, it's better. 40 is fine, I got there three years ago and still only two white hairs per year!

Enjoy yourself!

A x

Evening one and all - Hi to all on previous blogs over last 24 hours - hard to keep up with all the pics and videos!

Liz long time no hear and Maaaartin dropped in I see xxx

Almost turned show off tonight expecting bob the builder but James Brown I feel good - well done I think it was cecile!! You will go far young lady!

Come back soon Clodagh - have to find something different to wear next time - can't afford to lose too much hair!

Made mistake of checking messages/ emails/faxes etc so been working today - bum - and being in the sticks a half hour car journey to take communications with stamps which couldn't be emailed etc. ah well!

Lovely and sunny but the sea mist/fog is just creeping up valley so will be shrouded shortly.

HAPPY 40TH PANDAGIRLxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beesmum xxx

sorry forgot to mention

I also said the party would continue last night and guess what! not only wrinkly but bleary eyed too! naughty drivetime team!

Wonder what Diva and Mr Diva doing in London - anyone else know what clodagh meant about the hay thingy in spamalot?

Evening each.

Been hard to find which blog to write on but think i found it!

Happy Birthday Pandagirl! Im a few yrs away but my other half hit it last yr and its okay - promise!

Plum-Night terrors - my 3yr old nephew suffers bless his little heart. He has `ladies dancing on the windowsill coming to get me` on quite a regular basis..very scary to see how scared he gets so anyone who suffers has my full sympathies - hope they stop soon.

Had day off yesterday clearing out wardrobe space (Beesmum i should really learn to take ur advice!) so tonight is cabbaged out with glass of adult pop as a reward!

Would much rather be in that there London tho -AND going to see Spamalot - looks amazing! Im sure Highgate cemetary etc will be recovering from being Diva`d too!

Hello to everyone else out there - Gimgembre - glad u had good hols... theres 3 of us girlies on here off in a few wks so we`ll all be well into countdown next week..you have been warned!

Back later if anyone around,,,,,

mSc x

Happy 40th panda, I also turned 40 three years ago....nothin to it. In fact, I think as you get older life becomes more fun. Also more emotion kicking around, but that adds to the fun.....so welcome on board the number 40 something bus....we're just driving around wondering where we're headed.

Blog gone very quiet last few days....not much fun for us that like to just lurk around sometimes as not enough time to start the whole sign in stuff! where d'ya all go? Just cos CtD off for few days!!!???? we lurkers still expecting reading material, contrary to others opinions!!! (that's my controversial line for the day!)

Had lovely walk with Alf tonight. Went to leafy walk next to river and was right up close to a heron. Thought it would stay all night. Never managed to see one up so close. It just delicately padded through the water. Then a fish jumped. Felt all in touch with nature. Then 4 human beans came along and scared him off....not intentional like! Ahhh, Alf thankfully did not spot said heron. He was off sniffing the usual spots....

Right off to get some 'stuff' done. And as it Thirsty Thurs, off to have nice cold gls of Pinot!!!

Ah dreamer, you kind of said what I have been thinking too.

I have felt a bit uncomfortable about posting due to recent comments on here.
I sometimes type a post then delete it and walk away.

I also have things going on at home that are making it hard to concentrate on what's going on in here. Obviously so not going to pour my heart out on here, learnt that the hard way lol!

I popped in recently, noticed very few posts and little to read. Although the posts that were here were great ones.

I thought to myself that I would rather come here and find loads of posts to trawl through, maybe skip through if necessary, than find nobody posting at all.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Debbie x

Ditto ditto ditto Debs.

Well hopefully our posts will encourage those that feel the same. But we shouldn't let few with limited views change things.

And it was often the outpouring of people's hearts as well as the fun stuff that could lift spirits. Everyone has things going on that are tough...that's life and although it means if you're feeling it you're most def alive this blog can help! Since I joined I've had number of difficult things going on. Some still hanging around.

So. share Debs and if you don't feel like it then know that all on here care. Sending you big hugs.
dreamer
xxxx

Ps ....and I think with this so called credit crunch (who on earth thought up that phrase should be out of a job!!!) a lot of others will be dealing with tough stuff.

Hey Debs and Dreamer!

Im here - does that count?!

I think its been difficult to find which flaming blog to comment/write on in the last few days! thats why i didnt post last night anyway...well that and the fact that i flaked out on the sofa - sober by the way!

If anyone wants to know how many clothes i have gotten rid off and how many cupboards i have cleared out then please yell and ill tell u all!

watching Gok on a catch up and Mock the week at 9 - life is good! Oh, and making most of it cos i think my remote shall be mostly taken over by GM from next week - and perfectly happy for that to happen as it means i get to see him more - sad i know!

Keep ur chin up all..

Hugs

mSc x

Dreamer - well said. x

And Deb- on FB if u want a non opinionated (honestly), chat.. ope u keep smiling hun. x

right - off to find more adult pop!

mSc x

Evening each

Debs: You know where I am if you need a moan - and everyone does, sometimes.

Just back from cuddles with my gorgeous little boys - bliss.

Anne xx

Hey dreamer, yep hate that phrase 'credit crunch'. Off looking for a job tomorrow, this is the start of my next challenge!

Scooby I've recorded Gok was it a repeat then? Probably seen it already.

And I'm smiling honest (or gritting my teeth!)

Thanks for the offers of fb chats girls, I shall absolutely bear that in mind.

Btw: Did I hear Chris earlier saying that he was giving a young caller his speedos? That is so funny, can you imagine them going into school next week and telling their mates that? Bet the mum keeps them ;-)

Debbie x x

Wrinkly signing in - lo all!

If that kiddy gets his speedos before gimembre gets his "whatever" there will be trouble - CLP!!!!!!!

Sea mist went as soon as arrived - must have been high tide - red sky so hoepfully another good day tom with no work and no old gits phone calls.

Beesmum xxx

Deb - was a repeat but id not seen it and worth watching the end for the update - great story!

Annie - evening! my mum rescued my from my ironing pile yesterday and i thought of u! Hope u enjoyed ur cuddles -arent they the best thing?

Beesmum - just as an aside - still awaiting a pictures - not subtle i know but we wanna see u!

Had forgotten bout Gingembres thing so to speak - we need to email CLP to remind him or something!

Everyone chilling out night ?

mSc x

Having to suffer a seagle film - wordscraper calls - caught up yet Debs with that and scrabble which is so rubbish it keeps going off - can't cope with the volume unlike our scrabs inventors!

Beesmum xxx

Viva la Diva and I don't mean the shoes although if you pop on to the website!!

sorry scoob got pics on computer but not as good as I thought they would come out - will get Mr b to scan on better scanner but will put fuzzy ones on in meantime for a laugh!

btw ironing pile ! oh dear and only 2 days to go - started off well but............well you know me!
Beesmum xxx

ps the wardrobe scoob - hope you've done nothing rash! one of wardrobes has designer stuff in there way too small but could pay a mortgage - just cannot bear to part!

Beesmum xxx

yeuch to seagle movie....need boy hormones to watch that kinda stuff.

Good luck Debs with job hunting. Visualise your dream job tonight before you go to sleep and again as soon as you wake up before you actually properly wake up and it will happen.

What was it Gingembre was getting again? that was a long number of blogs ago. Maybe he would prefer the speedos?!

gingembre - tell us what colour speedos you wore on hols?!

dreamer
xxx

And ironing was invented by a grumpy person who should have got more out of life. Wrinkly it should be. Love those tops that you just wash and leave. Scrunchy think they're called, although some would say lazy scruffy tops!

xx

dreamer have u been on the adult pop with me?!

and Beesmum - fuzzy is good! Gives us a clue at least!

as for the wardrobe - i now have a work one with suits, tops etc in and a casual one - with a spare one (including shelves ill have u know!) cleared out for GM. Hope he knows how honoured he is! he also has two bedside drawers and a shelf in the bathroom - i think im doing it wrong somewhere..i even moved my somewhat large collection of handbags, which probably have the same mortgage paying ability as ur clothes!

oh well - sure itll all be ok...please someone tell me it`ll all be ok?!

mSc x

dreamer/alfie

gingembre was after a tfi t shirt but clp promised him something when he unpacked and moved in to new house.

KW is still waiting CLP!!!! be carefull he is an ossifer!

Dreamer - KW in speedos on hols waaaah did I miss a piccy? was too busy looking at his munchkin kids and very pretty wife on his hol pics! Me soft spot ? well....

Beesmum xxx

it'll be ok scoob - I think.............??

tehehe

Beesmum xxx

MsC oh yeah....pinot pop for me. needs must. Was trying to be good this week as got a posh dinner tomorrow night and big pants will be required to sqeeze into dress after hol had a whole half stone to lose, but think I've put another half on!!!! Start monday now me thinks. Please give me some motivation monday am all!!!

and of course it will be ok. A shelf in the bathroom is perfect for blokes shirts and jumpers....But DON'T SELL THE BAGS!!!!

xxxxx

Oh my!! crinkle cotton - can always remember my dear old dad telling my sis she needed to iron her top before she went out - bless!

Beesmum xxx

BM - any guy in speedos is waaaahhhh!!!

xxx

Me again

Scooby: You daughters are at it. Mine set up the ironing board tonight then disappeared I know not where. Of course I started off with the 20ft pile!

Debbie: Just remember that any job you apply for, the company will be lucky to have you. When you get an interview, remember that.

BsMum: Unplug the phone and switch off the mobiles then the old gits can't get at you.

xxxx

room in my bag cupboard scoob but shoes now touching hanging hemlines

BM xxx

Annie - please come to my house? Please please please.....

xxx

Scrunchy tops - Next (other retailers etc etc) do a fab line in them - have black and red, black and cream, navy.....and so on!

And the bags stay- but they take up 2 whole wardrobes shelves and then some! but they all have a history and i will use them all somesay so they stay!

love the thought of his jumpers on the bathroom shelves!

and sod the 1/2 stone - just buy a bigger wardrobe - its more fun! (sorry - NOT very supportive there!)

mSc x

Annie - put the answer machine on so missed 3 messages until sorted by someone else - knob off chair - I'll b**dy supergue the thing to your hand from 300 miles away!

calm down Auntie b

xx

PS: Dreamer: Those big pants really hurt by the end of the evening - beware.

Scooby: You at work tomorrow? Take a mother's advice and start on the water now.

xx

ah - well shoes are a turtley different matter! is it right to have 4 different pairs of white sandal things - just in case the style doesnt match with what u are wearing...??! I NEED HELP!! Oh, and i promise i am not as shallow as i am coming across on on here!

Annie - in the middle of my `blitz` yesterday my mum rang to see how i was doing - on telling her i was doing my washing and about to tackle the airing cupboard she pronounced she was on her way down - you mums are just fab! Esp great for me as she has only been back in the UK for 8mths after living abroad for 6 yrs - great to have her back.

GLass of pop anyone?

mSc x

Scooby: Put the bottle down!!!!!

xx

Annie - Mr B hot sweaty brandishing various chainsaws/hedge cutters strimmers skip filled so had to jump on it - says he needs annie!

I am goosegog again!

BM xxx

and yes Annie - work tom - thanks for the thought! i have only had 2 glasses - top back on bottle now! (and i much preferred corks - anyone agree?)

Beesmum - just tell them you are otherwise engaged and if its not life or death you are on holday... you have my sympathies..

mSc x

BsMum: Tell Nige to behave!! Hot and sweaty indeed.

xx

scoob - we could write a book but at least sometimes we can have a laugh!

BM xx

PS: BsMum: Couldn't they go in the skip?

Knob off chair???


No need to get personal now!

I have been posting, but got somewhat disheartened after composing possibly my best ever post only to be usurped by another blog entry 5 mins later.


ARF request -

Mr Brightside please, by The Killers.


MW, a!

Scooby it will all be ok....ok? Don't worry.

Hey that's good coming from me!

Dreamer I like that idea, I shall think about that job tonight, some gorgeous men and a generous boss what else.......?

Anne, I'm not good on confidence is that obvious? Thanks, I'm going for it now.

BsMum haven't been able to concentrate enough for scrabble or wordscrapper (whatever that is!). But I will try to catch up soon.

x x x

Scoob - forget the water. Pour another glass!!! And corks really missing on the whole wine thing. wonder what happened to all those cork makers? Poor things Do they now make the screw tops that are much easier after few drinks but not so much theatre (hmmm that was posh word fitted it eh?) I very much doubt it.

Bm - goosegog????

dreamer

Annie - behave is something he very rarely does! own thing? well he was single until he was 34 - are you listening Easyjob? even you got engaged to Diva ar 34!!!????

Beesmum xxx

Annie,

Thought I would let you know that Errol is currently relaxing on the sofa, all outstretched in nothing more than his CK's.

Did you want fries with that?

MW, a!

Oh yes ARF.

Can I request George Michael, Amazing please Lambie Pie.

x x x

Debs - think large deposit in bank on regular basis from your company, no gorgeous men, they are generally pains in the ****, friendly and witty colleagues, fun!!!!!, flexible boss (doesn't mean yoga teacher!), sunny office/place of work, ....etc, etc, etc

xxxx

MW'a - what was you saying in your best ever posting?! Can't keep us guessing?!

xxxx

Are you all pissed??

Debbie: I seem to spend all my evening time catching up on Scrabble and Wordscraper thingy!

MWa: Forgot ARF. Getting really bored asking for Alabama 3. Think I should try one more time?

xxx

And what happened to Easyjob?? Is he away again?!
xxxx

Yep that's about right Dreamer. Friendly colleagues being paramount. How about a gorgeous boss and flexible men then instead? ;-)

Mariella, glad to hear that you are enjoying the view!

x x x

Debbie - believe in yourself and others will believe in you..you have some great experience by the sounds and i`m sure they`ll be throwing job offers at you..good luck for tom morning hun. x

MW`a -nice vision!

Dreamer - i know - bit like the `what happens to the bits from the holes from polos` question...that was answered brilliantly by a fab piece of marketing a few yrs ago. Perhaps we could start a bring back corks movement?!

mSc x

MWa: I don't sleep well at the best of times - thank you for that image of Errol!! I thought Fries was pretty good!

Anne xx

Annie - it's only Thirsty Thurs?! Just need few glasses to relax into Freaky Friday. Had 2 glasses of pinot pop, and just about to have glass of H2O before bed, then after my most mammoth posting night I will leave you all in peace!!

xxxx

Good luck Debs, happy dreaming.

Night night all.

Happy Friday.

lol

xxxxx

ps scoob - how do they make the cork dangly hats in Oz now?? and let's start the campaign!

Annie, I am not ever drunk, due to my allergy. Unfortunately my state of mind is totally normal for me. Just goes to show quite how feckt up I am I suppose!

My post, for those wanting to know was telling of a story involving hot tubs and centre parcs, along with several other observations and snippets. It was on Chris' video rather than Jonny's.

MW, a!

Mr Debbie has just looked at my cv that I left out for the morning and asked for a pen *sigh*

He has offered to ammend it and I have just emailed it to him.

I'm not going to go on but I'm 'narf fed up right now! I know that he is only trying to help.

Thanks Scoob trying to believe in myself.

Couldn't care less if the bottle had a cork or screw top right now, as long as I could get in somehow lol!

Bed soon for me.

Pandagirl

Have you learned nothing from this blog?

You don't just let us know you are 40 on the day.

You start the build up several weeks in advance then build to a crescendo on the day itself.

Post birthday, you tell us how great it was and how many prezzies, cards and balloons you got from all your many admirers.

If your old man then has a birthday shortly afterwards so much the better. Then you let us know plan for your weekend in a big city of your choice so that we can post about what we think you are up while you are not posting.

This of course keeps your name alive even though you are not here.

Hope this helps anyone else approaching the big 40 (other birthdays are available).

Oh and by the way I had chips for my tea.

You guys are absolutley nuts!

Oh yes.

We're absolutely bonkers us.

Stick around and we'll start off on love spuds and puffins (other seabirds are available) in a minute

Give it a rest plum - you need help.

bm

Morning each!

Just a quicky on the way out of the door..PLum are u really kyle cos i find it really sad if you are after the laugh we were having last night and the support on ur night terrors.

But, i digress!

Debs - best wishes for this morning..go get em girl..

hope everyone has a great ARF...love spuds, puffins, birthdays - the whole lot!

catch u all later for fri night wine club if anyone around!

mSc x

hiya

sorry - havn't read the blog - just far to much to to today!

hay in spamalot - what can i say - its a visual gag that has you in stichties - you need to go to see it to get the joke!

nothing much to comment today - so i will shut up!

Hi to all out there - have a good weekend!

super bp x

Why is it that whenever a new poster arrives who is less than sycophantic towards one of the 'cool kids' then it assumed that Prof Plum has had another 'Dr Who' moment.

Some of you just cant seem to get it that there may be more than one person in the whole wide world who does not share your views.

So just for the record I am not the next reincarnation of PP.

Just of for some tea and toast (no other grilled bread based products available) now.

Morning each

From the happiest place in Scotland, apparently.

Anne xx

Kyle: I don't think there's any 'cool kids' as you put it, on this blog. Just nice people, mostly, who don't usually slag others off.

xx

I didn't coin the phrase, somebody else on here did a couple of days ago.

They were worried about not being accepted by 'the cool kids of the blog'.

So why don't you take it up with them?

kyle - I suggest you take a deep breathe and calm down - I don't see where you have taken offense from and just because someone call people the 'cool kids' doesn't mean you should copy them, I think we decided that most of us (my self 100% included in this) are definately uncool and proud of it!

please, we want to hear your thoughts on CLP's blog or what is going on in your life but (and I will put my heard over the parapet) i think you are being catty and I cannot understand why -

super bp x

Look, I have tried and tried to just ignore this, but what absolutely fascinates me about KyleSimons, PP, and TTT is why they continue to read this blog. Hey, eejits, you know what this blog is about - what, exactly, do you WANT people to talk about? SO WHAT if people talk about spuds - would you rather they were swapping stories about porn?

And I'll tell you something - any day now this blog is going to be shut down. When that happens, I hope you'll be proud of yourselves - you are typical bullies - you will just grind and grind until you destroy.
Well, until that happens, you're just gonna have to put up with more stories about spuds and birds.

Losers!

Ola one and all

Thank you for making me smile a funny Blog from Chris....... followed by a bit of a ruck.
Difference of opinion makes the world go around.

The blog would be far less interesting reading without thought provoking comments.

Thank you for you interest in Night Terrors. Scoobycat re your Nephew's repeated dream, that's how it started with me. From the age of 8, I was convinced I had been abducted by Aliens and been to the Moon.
Perhaps I was there before the Americans who knows.

Slept soundly last night so hopefully that's it for a while.

B's Mum I think you should afford me an apology.


Have a great day (other days are available).


PP

Good morning my little love spuds!

I keep coming back and hoping that the nasties will have gone away, but they're still here - WHY????

I bet CLP is sad to know that some of his listeners are so mean (if indeed you do listen - if you do, please try and get a little bit of Chris's joy for life from now on???)

ARF - State of independence by Donna Summer please??

T xxxx

KyleSimons??? Are you confusing your spelling and mixed up your name and you are actually Simon Cowell???? Oh of course not as he has a sense of humour, albeit he does get bit grumpy with peeps from time to time.

Anyway thank you for mixing it up here on CLP's friendly blog. As already said, by others, if you want a blog to do what you do best on, then go elsewhere. There's plenty of them around. If you want to be thought provoking then afraid you're missing the point with your comments KS. Debate not slating others is the point. (don't take lesson from our politicians!!!)

Right all other friendly bloggers. Happy Friday. Alf and I got off to muddy start, so showered him down and now he has that mad runny about thing going on....hilarious!!

Got busy old day and weekend here so prob not around much. So have great one all and enjoy your Friday wine club. Scoob and I had our own mini thurs one!!! Cheers.

Pandagirl, hope that you had a great birthday.

Differences in opinion are healthy of course.

I don't like Emmerdale, so I don't watch it. I don't watch it everyday and then constantly complain that I don't like it.

I don't like the Sun newspaper, so I don't read it, I don't buy it.

Constructive criticism always wellcome but I think that we get the point now guys.

Some people come in here and don't like what they read. We get it.

How many times can people say change the subject, post something that you want to talk about?

Sorry for the rant. Had to get it off my chest.

Debbie.

PS: Hi Tinsel, haven't seen you here for ages.

AFR - Young Americans - Bowie please?

Good for you PP, sleepwise I mean, wish I could say the same, but watching Psycho last night over-stimulated my brain.

So I was lying there mulling things over and I thought about a comment that went unanswered yesterday. Somebody referred to the "middle classiness" of the children on last night's show.

Can we all please admit the fact that, by and large, Radio 2 (including CLP's fabulous show) is indeed a middle class domain. Posh food, fast cars, expensive hobbies abound.

We all like to think we are caring and sharing, and I'm sure we are all "lovely" etc etc and I know that most of us aren't loaded. But I would imagine that the vast majority of people who listen to the show are, in modern terms, middle class. Or aspire to be. This may not sit comfortably with those of us who do not read the Daily Mail (unless they come across it at their Mum's house, that doesn't count), but nevertheless it is true.

I taught in an inner city primary school in a very deprived area so I do know what I'm talking about.

Right, barbecue tonight with organic farmshop burgers, homemade salsa and home grown rocket - yummy!

Ciao,

Nasty Alert - look away now if you feel you may be offended.

As far as I am aware this place is provided by the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ to comment on the blog posted each day by Mr Evans. The fact that some people treat it as a private chatroom does not alter that fact.

I will continue to post as long as the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ allow me, if you dont like that, tough luck I'm afraid. Just ignore me.

I'm glad that someone finds me absolutely fascinating.

However I cannot seem to recall the post where I advocated a discussion about porn!

Actually the 'spuds' in question are a pre teen level double entendre, so don't accuse me of lowering the tone.

Yours in a state of Zen like serenity..

Time for a cup of coffee and a couple of Garabaldi biscuits.

Tinsel

Take a chill pill. The Blog is a community of comments. Bloggers like myself enjoy reading Chris's blog and many other contributions from members of the Public. Bloggers of note for humour for me would be TTT, Dr Mc Crumble, Clodagh, Moose, KYLE(COULD IT BE JEREMY) EJR and perhaps others I have missed out on.

Not everybody want's to chat in a humourous way however and that is not a bad thing. Serious comments or people just reaching out with a problem they can talk about virtually occasionally that's life.

What is a shame though, is when the blog turns into into comments such as "Your go on scrabs.. surely that is not a good thing".

Also I am a huge fan of Radio 2 and always listen to Chris and Steve Wright when I can because they are simply the best.. oh that's a good Arf Choice.

morning all...

..speedos - NNooOOOOOOOOooooo
it's the above the knee, flowery design shorts for me.
Hmm, pasty ginger with pot belly and bandy legs in skimpy thong - gross!

Thank you for your kind words re: MrsW and the jam-eaters, I am very lucky to have been blessed with my family.

Couldn't sleep again after last nights work, 2 more to go too! Now off with said family to shop, we have some holiday winnings to spend!

I am refraining from mentioning 'the gift' as best I can, but I am still sooooo excited, and humbled to be chosen to receive something.

Have agreat weekend, Bonnet de douche

KWx

ARF - Ghost Town - The Specials
because I am hoping the city is just that tonight and tomorrow whilst I'm at work!

Ho hum.

Plum I just have to answer that one. As far as I'm concerned, this blog is a friendly place. I've said it loads of times before, people who come here can expect laughs, sympathy, support ... - I have had all three and much more so many times over the time I've been blogging - but not nasty sniping and rude comments about other people. Life really is too short.

Only my opinion obviously.

Have a good day everyone.

T x

KW - you don't want a ghost town do you? too much fighting on the dance floor - sounds terrible!

might as well ask for keisers I prodict a riot - pretty much the same song :-)

Can i ask for ' what a wonderful world' louis armstrong - as its a great feel good song

super bp x

Hello all. Haven't blogged for a while, because I found all the sniping really quite depressing. I have been lurking however, and found a blog a few days ago by Tough_Task_Ted quite illuminating (Ted, I hope you don't mind me reproducing part of it here):

"It is certainly not the place of anybody who posts on here to tell somebody to go elsewhere because they do not like what they have posted.

Likewise nobody can dictate what the ambience of the blog is to be. Some want it to be light and fluffy, and others want something a bit more serious. Surely a blend of the two would merely relect real life."

Now, I have had some trouble with some of Ted's posts in the past, but wholeheartedly agree with his sentiment here, and think it should apply to everyone. Differences of opinion should be welcomed, but could we please not descend to insults (either direct or implied, because even if they're implied we can all usually guess at whom they're directed) because there's really no need.

Thank you.

AF x

ps hope everyone is in fine form and looking forward to the weekend.

AF - I'm with you - there is a place for every one but please can we stop the cattiness - its really not attractive and will not encourage new people to post and that would be great for them to do that!

So hi to all the lurkers - get yourself a name and join in!

If you cannot think of a catchy name - use a pets name and street - that makes me minty stalls farm road! (okay possibly should not change my name!)

DtM - great toon, brings back memories of youth club discos!! Why did the name change from disco to club?! club sounds so formal and harsh, disco sounds much more of a fun word!!!

AF - I agree absolutely, and in future I shall revert to Mrs Nice.

I should have counted to 10, but I have been counting to 10 for months now. I ran out of 10's!!!

But back to normal from now on!

Heading off for the rest of the day - hope you all have a good weekend.

Well, what's everyone up to today? I've just had a new mobile phone delivered to home (despite the fact that I gave my work address for delivery - fortunately, dad is there to sign for it. He's cleaning my guttering and painting my porch, bless him). So I'm excited to get home and play with my new toy!

Just been reading the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news website, and there's a story about online maps not including historical buildings and woodlands and other places of interest. Never thought of it to be honest, but it's true! And I do love a bit of architecture... I do have a 20 year old A-Z in the car, which probably has places that don't even exist any more!
