Naughty naughty CLP!!!

Marmite's good for you - keeps the mossies away apparently!!

T xxx

Can't believe I'm first!! I have to say that I too became a fan of early mornings due to an early trip to the airport at the weekend. It's lovely just before sunrise....peaceful, calm and makes you feel good about things. Hope Noah is doing well.

Txx

oops...make that second!!

ha ha Sorry Teebs!!! You any relation to Bondy (our other 007?!)

Marmite? Meaty?

The brown stuff is veggie heaven dear boy. Mind you, if push comes to shove, I am slightly more partial to the Australian, ahem, 'veg' version.

As I mentioned yesterday, we spent the weekend in Germany and saw a popular American beat combo known as The Killers on Saturday night.

I've said my bit about the wall, so I won't repeat myself, but I really do recommend a visit.

I have the day off today, so with the sun shining over West Sussex, an afternoon out on the bike seems in order.

By the way, I hear there were a few politicians round this neck of the woods at the weekend?

Peace etc

MfR

PS Louis XIV

Morning CLP, Tash, Noah and Beth,

Glad you had a good weekend of r 'n r.

I love Marmite and now you've put it in my mind, I might just have some for brekkie tomorrow.

I hope Tash, doesn't punish you too much for chucking the breakfast out for the birds. I am sure the birds are grateful though!

And weel done to all you LFC supporters out there. It must have been a wonderful day for you on Saturday. It's just a shame that your consistency is lacking and you can't manage this sort of performance at every prem game.

Warwickshire gawjus and suuny and second load of washing just about to go in. Mum for some reason turned up here today wearing not only a cradigan but a triple thick fleece claiming to be cold! Must check that she's looking after herself me thinks.

Afternoon CLP

Yes, mornings are great aren't they? We always walk our dogs at 6.30 and I swear it's the best part of the day.

Hi Matt, I'm off to Berlin in a couple of weeks, anything you'd particularly recommend? We're staying really close to Checkpoint Charlie.

MV

CLP - thank you, again, another blog that made me snort, then laugh out loud in the office...

Great image in my head of Ms LP standing over the limp toast, hands on hips... with a blue tit in the background spitting out marmite with bleah noises...

jx

Good afternoon kids, one and all -

yep, me too bright and breezy and all at it again after a pub sojourn yasterday afternoon in the heart of Belfast city.

A gaggle of us baffoons have started a 40-day Bikram Yoga marathon - yep, 90 minutes of body bending in 45-degree heat - every day for Lent, up until Easter Sunday . . .compplete nuts . .

We're up to around day 20 and its starting to really kick in - very very tough indeed.

Hope everyone is well in Blog land . . .

Sorry I havent been in regular communicado of late - work has been hectic and customers screams just made it worse - but I'm starting to see the horizon again . . .

Love to all . . .

DtM x

PS the pics of the Mulberry SuperCar Sunday looked fab on the net . . .

talking about mental images, try this one.

Wild hair, pyjama shorts and vest, knee high zebra stripe ski socks and white ice skates - while cleaning out 4 hutches so getting hay mixed up in wild hair.

I'm so priddy!

MW, a!

Afternoon

Phew! Deev just surfacing for air. Been a hectic morning here in the orange office. That'll teach me to have Friday off now, won't it!!?

Bingo - zillions of pix of Brum but all on FaceAche. Join up and feast your eyes. Altho on the evidence of how mucky it can make one, I wouldn't bother!!! lol xx

Marmite. Nice on crispbreads with low fat cheese triangles. Can't do it on toast. But its good for you CLP - it's the butter than's not!

Right, back to that grindstone. Laters hunnies!

Deev x x x

Maz

Ice skates?

Really?

Why?

Deev x x x

and yes, you are indeed beautiful! xx

Hi Chris,

It's always great to read your blog and have a good laugh. I hope Tash has forgiven you. sounds like you have got into a good routine. I love early mornings too.

What a beautiful spring day we are having. It makes you feel alive.

Enjoy the day everyone.

Afternoon all

Been very busy since the yorkie live cook (my post mentiobned on air - oooo that felt good).

Went to London with the beloved to see a recording of Paul o'g show - was the CR episode (recorded on Wednesday). What fun, really enjoyed it. So, R2 one day and TV two days later. We also got to do a bit of retail therapy. Needless to say nothing 'pour moi' but GD as usual even tho she wasn't with me!

Busy weekend as usual....mainly taxi runs and cooking. Don't mention footie pleassssse - wrong 'reds' won - we'll let you have that one Bingo! Beloved had a good day tho in the blue corner.

Hope the brum meet went well, can't do facecloth at the office and not sure how to find anyone it....tips please.

How you doing Debbie?

Love and hugs to all.

Afternoon all,

CLP how could you throw Marmite away......

You have to excuse the typing - left wrist in bandage cos of tendonitis flare up.T'other had a look (he's a madic) and said I needed to rest it.........rest, with a 16 month and a mutt.......bah!!!

Sounds like the Brum meet was fun, we managed to get a walk in the spring sunshine, the mutt went loopy, and is now paying for it - didn't even want to go out last night, she must be feeling her age!!

Right, better go see if I can wake the Boy up so we can do stuff, although I don't know what yet........

ebx

I've learned to like early mornings again since I met my lovely man 10 months ago. Now I get up 2-3 times a week at 5.15 to drive 70 miles in time to take my daughter to school ! Mind you, if it wasn't for the cappuccino stop en route I would be a gibbering wreak I'm sure.

I remember those early morning baby days very well. With three under 6 they lasted for several years...arghhhh !

Take care all those tired Mummies and Daddies out there.x

Well,
I whent to the recruitment thingybob, It's a major commitment, apparently I would be working in a house that has 6 residents (service users) and my job is to make sure all have had a wash and breakfast, then clean the house/wash-up etc. Then get them all lunch, also I would be expected to take them shopping, to the dentist/doctors... and on Holiday!!(hopefully not all at once).
The salary is, as expected the national minimum, so I would have to bump this up by working 12hr days starting at 7am!

I'm really not sure I'm up to it.

Anyhoo, I'm home now and it's so luverly I think I'm going to cut the grass, that's if I can lift the mower over Mr N's motorbike!

Will try to check back later after the garden looks all neat and spruce.

Nicki

Ah, welcome home PurpleDragon...have you grown?

Anyhoo, Christophe...Marmite on Toast is the beezneeze mate. Unlike lamprey - please see previous blog...BLEURGH frankly...although do you remember when I told you I'd chucked my sarnies out for the birdies...a long time since...and though they ate them with every appearance of glee, I did wonder if it was cannibalism as the aforementioned sangwidges wuz chicken.

Bingo, you're getting too superstitious by half matey. Heh heh...see whaddidid there?
love
hazel
x

Mariella, nice vest.

...beth, loving the idea of your other half being a Madic...

...and Nicki...if you think you can, then do it, I reckon...rather you than me though...I have a full time job doing all this for the Badger...but that's not for here...x

Hazel.....worryingly that probably isn't far from the truth.....

ebx

...sorry about your wrist too!

Thanks Hazel, it's nice to be back. The only growing I've done is outwards. Of the we're on holiday so we'll eat/drink whatever we please and deal with the consequences later variety. Oops.

Apparently marmite you either love it or hate it. Maybe we should have a blog-poll and see what the general blog feeling towards marmite is?

Dragonxx

PS my spell checker doesn't like marmite, it wants me to change it to either marmoset or marmot.......

afternoon all, hope you're well?

Sounds like you all had a great weekend in Birmingham, good pics too.
CLP - a weekend of RnR sounds like bliss, wasn't it just so much nicer with the sun out?
Marmite - sorry, hate it.
Great 3 points for Spurs yesterday, bit of a smash and grab but hey-ho, take it whilst you can eh?

Hope you're all top of the pops, kool and the gang, or generally ok.

Aas a Gooner I never thought I'd be willing "your lot" on ... but well done and thanks .... we're 4th now!

Deev x x x

I love it.

Errol hates it.

Marmite soldiers are the best.....dipped in a runny egg - Yummy!!

X

Marmite and cheese sandwiches.... yummy!

Good Afternoon.

Now I read the blog earlier but been a bit busy. Now After reading it, I quite fancied marmite on toast but I could not get the top off. I'm as weak as a kitten after all my hard labour over the weekend.

Until the Yorkshire pudding fest I used to throw my unsuccessful yorkie pancakes to the birds. It was more than a little scary when this huge seagull hoovered over the house one day, then with one fell swoop flew off with it whole.

Bingo_- Come to think of it I may not have said that to Mr Chris it may have been Mr Wright, my memory is not what it was.

Photo's of Birmingham good. Love the one of CTD pouring that champagne trying to think of a caption..


Ciao

Wow Nicki, sounds like a really hard job, mentally and physically - and not leaving much time for yourself either.

It's so annoying that someone with responsibility for caring for so many people gets minimum wage when someone pen pushing gets hundreds of thousands!

Grrrrr

T xx

tins

Mr bp cares for people

I pay the mortgage- unfortunately it is unfair but thats the way it works

super bp x

Aahh cheese and marmite sandwiches - at their best squashed and slightly sweaty at the top of a mountain with flask tea........childhood memories.....

ebx

Hello Chris and Bloggers

Nowt wrong with going to bed at 9 oclock Chris, and as for marmite, I just love it on my toast before the baked beans or even scrambled eggs.

Mr Penny and I had a fab time at the Mulberry yesterday, and as well as ogling a number of super cars worth zillions of dosh, I got to see you, Tash and Noah looking fantastic - it was so endearing watching you with Noah. Coffee, bacon rolls and, a bit later on, a glass of rose, and the sunshine, made it a perfect Sunday. I'm still on a high!!

Glad the bloggers meet went well and a great time was had by all. Don't do faceache so can't see photees. Booooo!!


Penny x

Afternoon all
Just been to bank and my car thingy wotsit says it's 16 degrees out there - so why am I stuck in this office? Boo.

White crispy bread with loads of butter and Marmite - yum - would do now but paper thin brown slimmers bread not quite the same is it? Cup of tea at three it is then.

Beez xx

ps hope Mr bp better soon and now you too baguss? oh dear.

Afternoon peeps.
Bit of a marmite fan myself - in fact that was what I had on Saturday morning before jumping on the train to Birmingham, and also before I had the bowl of chips, chilli and cheese to soak up the gin!
Bees was on the chips and cheese and Diva was having nachos. Classy snacks, I think you'll agree!

Weather today is just superb, hence only logging on now. I am not in work today - dentist this morning, so I have been sat in the garden with a cuppa, soaking up the sun.

Bagpuss, sorry to hear you are under the weather - you should have kept away from that Neil person .... he's infected you.
Take care, hon xx

We both love it, and Marmite's pretty yummy too!!


Lawn cut, just edges to sort so time for glass of cider, ciggy etc.

Nicki

Crumps

Classy snax for classy birds, I think you'll concur!

Deev x x x

I do concur!

Off back to the garden to enjoy the sunshine.
Catch you all later.

Someone call me?

I think I clicked the - friends only - button when I put my Brum pics on fb so if any newbies want a nose - add me as a friend - haven't been keeping up with the clp bloggers site lately.

Oh beesmum - would love to see pics! Tips please on how to find you on facecloth or the clp bloggers site.

Well had to log on just to comment on the M`mite debate... THE most disgusting, horrible tasting stuff ever invented in my humble opinion! But it IS one of the few things that i do wish i liked...along with prawns, olives and artichoke...and a few other random things.. i keep hoping my tastebuds will change but at 30 something i`m giving up hope!

Meet looks fantastic fun...glad a great time was had by all..but..where are all the incriminating pics..ie the morning after the night before?! Or have they been censored!

Who mentioned a northern meet btw..has been mooted before...

right...sun looks gorgeous... and i`m stuck in the shop for another hour and bit so gonna sulk and go stick kettle on...anyone? Have choc biscuits to go with..

Hugs

mSc x

PS - Hazel, saw the Heston thing..new fave prog! the guy is a genius but the nerve thing definately was eewwww..but worth it for the look on Craigs face!

Marmite - yuck, no thanks

mSc - I mentioned a North of England meet as I'm in Yorkshire.

PiPx

Have just been out sur le balcon dans le soleil avec le view de la mare for a smoke, and a seagull landed right in front of me. Am pleased that I was not in possession of a sangwidge, Marmite or otherwise, else I reckon he've had it off me.

And the sangwidge. Heh heh heh...

Anyhoo, SBeep, sorry you're moby mate...you take care of yourself y'hear...if Mr BP isn't gonna do it for you anyway...

Bingo I am beside myself, could this be why week in week out I ask for my request on Sunday Love Songs which never gets aired.

I always ask for Play Misty for me from your ever loving bunny.

I can see now I have be wasting my affections and will move on to pastures new.

good evening.

If Allinson really wanted to play a great spring record, he'd get it right and play the Balearic mix of 'Josephine' by Chris Rea.

Now there's a record.

Tobe

bloody hell.

hello you.

Did I see a phoenix then Deev?

Steffi and all others - do what pip says then add as friend and write a note to say who you are on here. I only go on fb at night with my laptop - can't use at work but I'll look out for any new friend requests later. Once I add you can see my pics (loads of them!!!)

Beez xx

Thanks Beez, have sent a friend request and look forward to seeing the pics.

Marmite - Love it with mostly everything!

Md xxx

Bingo - feel free to wear the shades at the London meet.
Jovial went to pick Diva up from the station - the rest of us in pub watching Liverpool!!! and there she emerged - all glammed up with shades the lot - he said he was looking round for the paparazzi following her. (If you do eventually get on fb she's much prettier in real life than her pics although she does take a decent pic too).

Beez xx

Can't wait to get on me laptop now and find all you new guys !! Supper may be late - unless I can find something I made earlier - sorry Mr B !!!! Priorities!

Not sure about Chris Rea Balearic mix but this works well if you are in the right place in the Sun.

pip, I have a yorkshire does that count....LOL

Bondy,
a Yorkshire wot???

terrier......

Thanks for that, what with all the talk round these parts of late regarding puddings one never knows!

LOL Nicki. I know what you mean. I was laughing when folks were calling them Yorkies.... Did you have a good weekend?

You took the words out of my mouth Nicki. I wasn't sure what Bond, James Bond was bragging about then!!!

LOL pip.....

wow it's quiet tonight...... still recovering from the weekend....

Evening 007

How are you?

ebx

Hellloooo eb, I was beginning to think no one else was around today. Did you have a good weekend?

Evening each

Chris, you are a seriously naughty boy, throwing the toast out of the window!!

Off to thrash people on FB, back soon.

xxxx

Hi Annie, how are things?

Can I just say for the record I hate ALL piuctures of me.

thank you.

Deev xx

And "pictures" come to that ....!! xx

We did thanks 007,

Managed to tire out both the Boy and the dog in one go - hour and half walk round a local nature reserve.
Admittedly the boy didn't walk for that long but the ride in the back carrier saw him to sleep and the dog forgot she's almost 10 and ran around like a lunatic, she's still paying for it today!

Certainly no Brum meet or trip to Berlin, but enough for little ol' me!!

How bout you?

ebx

Cheryl

I understand completely, I much prefer being on the safe side of the camera and in the 6 years we've been together I think there's only about 3 pics of me and t'other!

ebx

Evening Bond, how are you these days?

Cheryl: I sooo hate photo's of me - I look like my mother, bleuwwwww...... So, at the London meet, I need photos sent to my youngest for photothingying.

xxxxx

Just signed up to hear Bob Dylan's new album.

xxxx

Hi eb, my weekend was fine thanks.

Annie, things are good with me.

Cheryl, I disagree.

Am watching ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ4 at the moment. Anyone remember Alma Cogan?

Sadly, I do.

xxxxx

minorityvoter.

I'm afraid I'm not really an authority on Berlin as we literally spent one day there.

However, in 24 hours I was completely absorbed by the place (see my post on Sunday evening).

All I can really recommend is what we did, which was put our walking boots on, grab a map, and head off into the streets to see what you can find.

Checkpoint Charlie is interesting, and from there you can head up Friedrichstrasse, which is the main shopping street, right up to the river. If you follow this to the left you will find yourself at the Reichstag. We stayed down near Potsdamer Platz, where there are some sections of the wall standing, but for a better idea of what it was like head to Niederkirchnerstrasse where there is a whole section along the street. This brings you back neatly to Checkpoint Charlie.

Oh, and for an enjoyable bit of cribbing up before you go, reaquaint yourself with The Bourne Supremacy - a fair chunk of it was set in Berlin.

I've managed to walk a few miles and cycle a few more today (yes Super BP, my bike has pedals, not an engine) in the wonderful spring sunshine, but now I'm flagging, so it is time to head to my quiet spot and grab a few chapters of my new Deaver (that's 'Jeffery', as opposed to 'Cheryl the'), before devising a new alphabet music game to try and help me sleep.

Much peace

MfR

PS Just for one day

Annie-G, Didn't Alma Cogan sing during interludes on the radio show, Take it from here...?

Now, Bond, I am really not that old, although I can vaguely remember Journey to the Centre of the Earth on the radio!!!!

Perhaps she did, but all I really remember is that she died of cancer of the spine, poor girl.

xxx

ooooo, that is nasty.

Bet Clodagh remembers her!!!!

xxxx

Howya fellas.

Just got back from me travels and heard snippets of the show tonight; LOVED the dog-biscuit-tasting. And can I just add that in fairness, if CLP and Johnny are going to be testin' the baby food tomorrow, in the interests of scientific accuracy, said Mashed Banana and Bacon Casserole should be regurgitated first and administered by a proper seasoned mum, eg. Sally, usin' the spoon like she was groutin' the bathroom tiles.

And usin' the plastic bibs of course.

Clodagh.xx

....what...

remembers who....

hang on..

C.x

Now Clodagh, admit it, you must remember Alma.....

xxxx

Annie-G, just read Alma Cogan's bio and apparently she was buried not far from where I use to live... for what it's worth. Only in her 30s when she died, tragic!!!!!

Oh, gawd, am getting itchy skin here. Clodagh, you must remember her - ask Reneee!!

xxxx

Ooh YES Alma Cogan, marvellous.

Can't remember what she sang, hang on it wasn't The Wedding Song was it???

Oh hurrah I think it was, I'll check; all I can remember is she had big hair and black eyelashes and Courreges boots. Top Bird.

Clodagh.xx

That's her Clodagh. Poor girl.

xxxx

She was 34 when she died, how sad is that??
