good to hear Tash has you doing 'normal' things. Perhaps she could do live phone in on 'how to get man stuff done around the house!!!?' That would be within the Things We Should All Know Week...

....erm, how to cook a perfect yorkie? Take it out Aunt Bs packet and put it in oven - job done!!

xx

Ha Ha PF - that's exactly what I do!

My brother is married to a Yorkshire Lass and he can make the perfect Yorkshire Pud. Whereas my Mum, who has won WI trophies for baking, can't make one to save her life. Me I've never tried, so perhaps I should listen tomorrow and give it a go!

Things we should know week ....

How to get men to put things away around the house perhaps???

;-)

I've got Friday off so does that make today my Hump Day? I quite fancy a ..... no Deev. No.

Will miss the Yorkie pud Cook-a-long tomorrow - got phase II of weekend gawjusness pres booked in for 6.15 pm.

Back in a bit, with a sarnie.

Well whaddaya know. New blog just as I post on the last one, bugger I'll never get out at this rate...

Indeed those removal men are heroes. And freaks. I've seen them pick up a large box of books with one arm and balancin' a sofa on the other without blinkin' an eye; me, I have to sit down dizzy after openin' me OED too quick.

Mind you the GD, aka. Boadicea, has inherited her father's blind strength and regularly swings me over her shoulder. This is the girl who out-threw the boys at school in the shot-putt, to my great delight and her chagrin when I showed her what a proper Russian shot-putter looks like.

And I well remember the humiliation suffered by our neighbour across from the farm when his missus ordered a large gas-lamp for outside their house from the council when they demolished half of Wigan, and upon delivering it, they left it across the driveway. Trying for several m inutes but unable to budge it, he looked up and spotted the ex-hubby driving his tractor in the field opposite. 'Ha.' Thinks he. 'Just the thing.' So he summoned him, motioning to the aforementioned obstruction, and the ex bounded over like a big happy Labrador. At that moment, the phone rang so the neighbour, himself a bit of a rugger-bugger, ran in to answer it. After about 20 seconds there was a rap on the window.

And there he was. The ex-hubby, standing with said gas-lamp under one arm, asking, 'Where do you want it?'

The word Emasculated has never quite covered it.

Bless him.

CLP - not many ingredients needed my love! However, alot of peeps have a raft of 'secret' ingredients or 'their way' of doing it. AND the yorkie!

Luving the idea of a Yorkshire pud-cook-a-long... I do good ones over here but it's more difficult in Andorra (coz of the altitude aparrently!) and often I end up with Yorkshire biscuits... not impressive though tasty.

Happy Hump day CtD!

Having just humped myself...albeit a basement flat with stairs and an awkward corner...I completely understand every word you are saying Christophe. Slept so well the first few nights due to exertions...then back to the usual insomnia...

Dorchester should be lovely if the daffs or crocuses are out...and both myself and the Badger would be interested in the Yorky Pud session...if only to see how they turn out as opposed to our usual efforts...

hot fat

And don't mention cookin' Yorkies after the near-tragedy that was Renee and the blow-torch that some wag bought her for Mothers' Day.

Never mind Queen Victoria. Sally the Yorkie was a ringer for Queen Elizabeth 1 for 6 weeks after the creme brulee debacle.

Wasn't all bad, though; I made her a nice ruff for on her collar. Marvellous.

Clodagh.xx

Oh Chris, what a wonderful idea.

Now I wonder if we can do it in the car?

Are we allowed a time delay?

Hells x

pee ess. A friend of mine...long ago...was waxing lyrical about the Yorkshire Pudding mix she'd just bought from a supermarket...'you only need to add eggs and milk!' she cried.

'My dear...' said I, 'you've just bought flour.'

oh, and how long does it take for the headache to go away after you have given up caffeine and are drinking decaffeinated tea?

Hi Chris,

I hope you have recovered from your "humping". One way to keep fit!

I'm looking forward to learning how to cook the perfect Yorkshire Pudding, Mine never turn out, unless they are the frozen ones!

Happy Birthday to Gorgeous Noah, one month old today! I bet it's been quite a month for you and Tash. Where did the time go?

Enjoy your trip to Dorchester.

Love continuously,
x.x.x.x.x.

#13 about a week.

i had to go through it.felt awful for a week.now only drink decaff coffee.the tea caffine doesnt seem to affect me as much as loaded coffee did but i am very glad i am off the "hard"stuff couldnt do with gottohaveacoffeegottohaveacoffee!

I love yorkshire puddings, home made are the best.
I'm humping at the moment, moving house at the weekend...the stress of it all! Also just broke the kids
so now have to go out and buy another, what a great day!

Yorkies, yum yum yum
Do you mean the thin crispy kind?
Or the doughy kind?
Or the big slab kind?
One golden rule tho, they have to be cooked it the meat fat, and that has to be smoooookin hot before you put the batter in.
With you on the furniture humping lark CLP weve moved three times in the last four years, and I hate all that tryin to fit the sofa thru the clearly too small door so why the flip cant you just bring it round the back shenanigens!
Going to go and have some lunch now all that yorkie talk has made me peckish.
Laters. x

How to use an apostrophe?????

Definitely NOT on a professionally printed big sign that says ...

"Now open Sunday's"

ARGH!!!!!!!!

T x

milo - broke the kids????

Off to take GD to do her test theory - stressed or what! May have to dose her up with rescue remedy. Might need some myself depending on pass or fail.

Big smoke trip tomorrow - seeing p o'grady show - should be fun.

Catch up with you all Thursday and tell all.

Take care of each other.

Luv 'n hugs all round.

Great blog Bingo - Bloke was a HGV driver, one of the enormous artics, would that be 42 ton? Still amazed how he used to reverse it, had a looooong trailer on back of cab which would go one way while cab went t'other!! I always give them a wide berth especially on roundabouts.

It's also my granddaughters birthday today - happy birthday Poppy. Off for cake and candles later.

Afternoon All,

Ahh....humping furniture, I know it well!! In fact that's reminded I've got a bed to construct tomorrow when the Boy has gone to the childminder (well after a cople of hours of me time anyway!).

Last week at work we needed a table moving from one room to the next - a big 'un - so us girlies mentioned it to the boys (it was for their benefit in fact) and what did they do, move their suff off the table, into the new room, and started chatting.........
Then followed them going 'ooo that'll never get through the door' so in the end me and another girlie just picked and tipped it on it's side and off we went.............was very disappointed in them......

Had my faith in human nature restored a bit today, someone gave me their car park ticket when took the Boy to the dentist.......it's a start....

ebx

Oh yes, a removal man what a job and a half, always reminds me of that Bernard Cribbens Song Right said Fred.

What a nice gesture to open the ladies shop. It sounds like a Health Store so maybe Bingo they might have a pick and mix of Vitamin tablets.

Debbie and Gingembre . Yes thank you great day at the races, they had some top jocks too riding space hoppers for doing something funny for Comic Relief.

Oh no is that Girls Aloud I can hear...

Prof - cotton wool helps I find!

df

Hello fellas and fellaettes,

Yorkies huh? I don't mean to brag, but I'm gonna. My yorkies are fantastic. I use only plain flour, home grown free range eggs and half fat milk, no salt or nuffin else. I have been known to go to take yorkies out the oven and they have risen so much they have encased the grill element in the oven. Oh yes!

I do have 1 little trick that I might reveal to you, if the price is right...

And as for humping, well I hump at work, at home, in the garden and anywhere else that might take my fancy. I watched Errol hump the other day and was mesmerised by the concentration on his face, mixed with just the right amount of pain, tiny beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead, and the look of relief and gratification on his pretty little face once he had finished was delightful.

It was a big bit of wood too!

MW, a!

Oh Mwa you are naughty!

That reminded me of the Janet and John on Terry's show this morning. I felt a right idiot laughing away to myself in the car park.

Or perhaps it's just my filthy mind!!

AliB
x

Derbyfi yes indeed.

Sorry forgot Yorkies I love Yorkshire terriers but my puddings usually turn out like pancakes.

I cheat and buy the ready made ones from S'bugs. No shame at all............

df

LOL MWa! - but did he stand and stare at it for about half an hour first?

Whatever t'other is doing, humping stuff or general DIY it apparently needs at least half an hour of hard staring before he can touch it!! THe house would be finihed by now if he just got on with it............

ebx

ok...no excuses, I'm just crap at typing!

ebx

Morning and Afternoon everyone, hope all is well with all of you. Busy day again for me today, more meetings...yuk It's another one of those weeks. Too many meetings and not enough time.... oh well!!!!

Hello, haven't caught up on any posts hope you are all well.

I have to admit I cheat with yorkshires now and buy Aunt B's. Am I being very lazy? It's just another way to make my life a bit easier in any way possible.

Debbie x

Hi everyone,

MWa! You reminded me of my ex, anything to do with DIY used to drive me crazy, we would go to the store bring the stuff home and there it would sit for weeks possibly months. He would tell me this was 'setteling time' and things needed to settle before they were used............Wallpaper, floor tiles, towel rails.............really, I don't think so somehow!!
Well as I hadn't just arrived with the last shower of rain, this used to cause a bit of confrontation, but in the end I just used to let it go - anything for quiete life! We did actually laugh about it a few times, so it wan't all bad.
But over the years I have to admit, I'm a dab hand at hanging wallpaper, and my gloss paint work is a work of art.

apologies for duff spellings

Nicki - do you give wallpapering masterlasses? Gonna have a whole house to do once all the walls have been plastered!

I've also decided that woodwork will be waxed - I hate gloss painting!

ebx

eb
I'll nip round and have a go!
good for you waxed woodwork looks so nice, but major jobby if it's already got years and years worth of paint on.

after the ex and I parted company I stripped all my windowledges and the stairs, it took ages but was well worth it.

note how they became MY windowledges and stairs, I sound almost stroppy, I'm not honest, just don't hang about if I can do it myself. This drives new man crazy as he is sooooo helpful, bless him.

Quick pop in before I hit town, got to be back for the show, I am mad about apostrophes and their usage, totally obsessed and pedantic some would say. Loved Eats, Shoots and Leaves.

Men who hump all the time - indeed, how do they do it? Awesome. On a par with men who lay tiles, decorate the hall, staircase and landing of a big house in a day, or cut carpets to exactly the right size and shove them in perfectly in about 15 minutes. And men who can look at your washing machine and say "that's your brushes love, no problem I've got some in the van".

Don't mean to be sexist, but in my experience these people are always men, and I love 'em.

Thanks to everyone who gave me cake advice yesterday.

A x

I mean, people who do it all day every day are usually men, I'm not doubting that Nicki Noos is an expert stripper, waxer and gloss applier!

A x

boleyngirl,

I'm in full agreement with you...the big stuff leave it to the guys, I marvel at carpet fitters how do they do that, I would be terrified to even attempt, the stuff costs a fortune so if there was to be a mishap I'd far rather it wasn't mine. Maybe that's why they don't look worried - its not theirs??

Oooops, you cheeky thing. I was I being a bit dim there!!

Ello.....

A waz just listening ter CLP's 2nd opening tune.... errrr Elbow and 'One Dee Like This' were they sing "throw those curtains wide"......
Well a once did just that and two things 'appened.....
1 - A realised a 'ad noo clothes on!!!
2 - Me curtain pole collapsed!!!!!

100% true!

Just thought yer might wanter now, sorry know!!!!!

SparkleyTinsel And Penny Forem - Tarrr but a didn't think it waz that good a blog just an ok one!!!!!!
But BIG tarrr.... i'll take all the praise a can get... it's good for me low self esteem!!!!!
Az for reversing a truck.... it's dead easy!!!
Ter go left... yer turn right..... ter go right yer turn left.... if yer wanter go left yer turn right but if yuv gone tooo much left then turn left ter go more right!!!!!!
But if yer then go too much right then yuv gotta turn more right ter go more left.... and then if yer 'ear a crunch.... yuv gone the wrong way!!!!!
Alot of things yer can't see so yuv gotta guess correct...... an old 'and who waz 70 plus.... aka 'The Wrinkly Fossell' waz 'is nick name, who trained me up, gave me some very good advice which can apply ter cars too.... "if in doubt.... GET OUT"..... and ave a physical look that yer noot gonna reverse inter something!!!!!
Ave found out a few times.... after 'itting things..... do get out!!!!!!
Apart from that reversing.... easy!!!!!!

Chow!

REMEMBER ALL - "If in doubt.... get out!!!!!!"

Reminds me of being engaged ter someone in ukraine!!!!!!!

boleyngirl - I have a little man, my mum!!

She's fab, re-modelled her house and is now working on mine...........nothing seems to faze her, electrics, wall building, carpet fitting...............and my poor dad is just the lacky!

Things We Should Know....

I suggest we should know how to force companies and organisations to abandon phone menus and go back to a real person saying "Good morning, how may I help you?"

One spends a vast amount of time on the phone after someone close to you dies and I am almost driven to despair by phone menus.

I tried the trick of pressing nothing and just waiting and sometimes it works and sometimes the menu just repeats and repeats.

Every time I have finally reached a REAL human personage, I have asked them to register my frustration and annoyance at the phone menu system. And the PRIME cuplrit for brain-bending phone menus? BT of course!!!

Maybe if we ALL asked for our disagreement to be recorded, this might change eventually. Of course, the irony is that the buttons you press make NO difference to the call centre. You are simply connected to the operator who may also handle calls from several other companies. It's disgraceful.

There....I have ranted. I can have some dinner and go to work feeling as though I have offloaded. Oh...Yorkshires....I am famous for my Yorkshires!! You need 2 things.... stonking hot fat and an Aga. That's all.

aA

Hi Andi

I'm with you on the phone menus and the total disregard they show for customer service (especially when they say endlessly that 'your call is important to us' - so why won't they bloomin' answer it then?!)

And............breathe...............

Must be almost time for dinner - but not Yorkshire puds for me tonight. Prawns n' pasta instead as I'm on my own. Yummy.

Have a great evening folks.

df

Evening each

Humping - will have to find some humpers of my own soon. Haven't a scooby (sorry Clare) how the sofa will go out the front door.

MWa - you are a seriously naughty girl.

Yorkshire puds - now, I have to say, not trying to be smart here folks, but mine were just gorgeous. That was in the days when the roast was roasted every Sunday. Thank goodness they've all left home and I can now talk to my vegetables.

Bingo: still mad as a box of frogs then? Love reading your ramblings.

Back later.

xxxx

PS: Andi, I so agree. And, yes, BT are the worst - I register my protest every time I have to speak to them. Apparently (don't know if this is true), but if you don't press any numbers at all you will get through to a real person.

xxx

Hi brightAnnie,

Yes, the non-pressing works for many menus but....big wobbly spotty BUT..... not always and NOT BT!!!

This is also a problem if you don't have a touch-tone phone or are on a non-compatible system (like at work, for example) and you can just go around for ever.

I had 7... count them..... SEVEN different menus at BT to get to one to tell them that Pa had died and should thus be removed from the phone book etc.

Unbelievably frustrating.

aA

MW'a hope you're listening to CLP's bit on yorks puds

so far we've had..some people use blow torches to cook their puds

the puds need to rise and be erect!! and the proper bit is on tomorrow night...can't wait!!!

And what price your tip then MW'a....:)) ??

hi all

No 007 today?!

Andi, perhaps a FB site re BT and their daft stupid numbers?

I think with a name like 007 there is no doubt....

NickNoos - #47, just read my #45 to see what you meant - believe it or not I was not being smutty, just literal, but agree it sounds a bit ooo er missus, soz! But if you DO want to read it like that, then make sure you do it all in right order!

Everyone else, ay up.

aA, hope everythings going ok.

Laters,

What on earth was that chap on about? Next time please get Lynne Truss on the show, the author of ‘Eats, Shoots & Leaves’, she’s far more eccentric and a much better teacher. Come on chaps, let’s edumacate our country!

Hi Chris

I live in Poole and commute to Dorchester 5days a week and listen to your show every evening on my way home, so see you in the morning outside Wellworths do,nt be late. Have a safe journey

Steve E

Steveej: Sooo admire those people who've set up the Wellworths Store. Let's know what the opening is like tomorrow.

xxxx

Hi boleyngirl,

or may I call you Ann?

Yes, slowly but surely....the paperwork.... the phone calls....


The compassionate leave thing at work turned into an odd one. I am technically off when the funeral is, as I was when he actually died, so because I did not claim compassionate leave at the time they are umming and ahhing as to whether i get it.

You know.... if they just stopped for a moment to think if it were them dealing with this....

How's life with you?

aA

Hi all, back from my last meeting of the day.... Hope you've all had a good day. Cricket looks like ending in a boring draw, but there's footie to watch when I get hope tonight... hooray!!!

Andi: Must have missed your post re funeral.

Had to organise my mother's funeral not too long ago so know what you're going through. Fortunately, I had no problems with work. Sounds horrible for you.

Hope things get better soon.

xxxx

Evening Bond

Hope when you get hope tonight the footie is riveting (yawn)

xxxx

aA, it's there someone you can complain to about the compassionate leave thing. How about a letter to the CEO or someone high up the ladder

Annie-G, I am sure it will be. I watched a good game of South African club rugby last night.

Oh good, Bond.

Hi James,

I work for the NHS.....

...enuff said!!!

Evening all,hope your days have gone well!

Bingo,MWa! -lol - great blogs as usual.

aA with you on the phones,hope it all works out with work & your compassionate leave

BGxx

Yorkshires....used to be fine with them but then had seriously long run of them not turning out. Needless to say Auntie B in the Bred household now!!!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts.

I am off to work..... babies, babies, babies!!

Love 'em but can't eat an whole one!!!

Remember people..... a baby is for life, not just for 9 months.

Let's be careful out there!!!

aA

aA....... no department head you can complain to?

Bye aA, hope you have a good evening albeit at work.

007....you sound like my fil, he's just got multi-room viewing, now he can have rugby in the kitchen and cricket in the living room - when mil lets him that is!

ebx

Ali, you've probably gone by now, but the NHS? A caring organisation supposedly!

Was involved in a Dementia Project recently and the lovely man who ran it went on to teach Compassionate Care to student nurses. What does that say about the NHS? They need to be taught compassion??

xxxxx

Annie-G, well you know what they say about the cobbler's shoes.....?

eb, I only have the one TV, but record many events, like football, rugby, unfortunately we don't get the cricket over here yet.

I know James, but its so dispiriting.

Re cricket: One of my twin brothers used to play cricket for Durham (I think). He used to watch it on tv and get really excited, jumping up and down....... why?

xxxx

Hi still no chance to catch up hope to at the end of the evening. When some calm resumes over the house. So when they are all asleep basically.

Another horrible row tonight. Honestly this house is a bloody nightmare right now!

To cut a long story short I think Mr Debbie has had enough of helping me through things. Don't blame him but wish things didn't have to get so nasty. Guess I'll get through it on my own then.

On a good note, work is still going well and boss continues to seem pleased with me. Told me today that I was really good with people after dealing with one of the more difficult members of staff.

And I have racked up 5 days worth of overtime....result.

Off now to keep out of trouble for a bit.

Debbie x

Evening Debbie

Hope things get better soon.

Hugs

xxxxx

Debbie, sorry things are not going well for you at home. I really hope the situation improves. Glad work is going well though. Try to stay positive.

Annie, don't think I've ever jumped up and down watching cricket.... play, well that's a different story.....

Annie #77 - that is a sad thought!

Sports - don't do footie or rugby but cricket great,many a happy summer afternoon at LCC with a very cold beer or two!

Debbie, hang in there

BGxx

Think I remember brother doing the run thingy between the stumps and running into the other batter, both of them falling backwards. Maybe that was a funny dream though!!!!

xxxx

Bredgirl: I agree, very sad.

xxxx

Annie, do you think it could be that they have to have the certificate to prove that they have it ( compassion ) in these days of having to tick all the right boxes?!

bredgirl, for me it was Worcestershire.......

Annie-G....LOL

Hiya

still to busy as work to blog - hope you are well and am getting excited about Brum meet this weekend.

super bp x

Bond, would suggest our beer better but would Worcs location tops the good old Chester Road!!

Missed a guess btw would & Worcs......lol

Off for a CSI fix.

Have a safe trip home Bond & enjoy the footie.

Later....

BGxxx

bredgirl.....I knew what you meant....LOL You're right I don't think you can beat the location, unless it's Lords of course..... you're probably right about the beer......

Thanks bredgirl, enjoy CSI (I'm a fan of that show myself, which one are you watching?). Have a good eneving.

Oooh excited Christophe Lambie Pie is coming to Dorset tomorrow.... and I have to be in work in Bournemouth - doh missed again.

Sorry for my absence I picked up the head cold and have not been at my best - just about managing to keep it together with dark glasses on indoors - migraine sufferers have my sympathy.

That receipe for yorkshire puds looks odd - 1/2 pint of plain flour......

Good to see everyone is still very busy blogging along.

I am trying very patiently to get my mobile blog set up for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ messageboard and will hopefully one day be back at the blog during my lunchbreaks.

All the best to all bloggers and lurkers

Hiya Stevej you're in my town welcome to the blog.

I commute the other way Poole to Christchurch (well Littledown anyway). But go through Dorchester to get to my mum's.

Nice journey - enjoy WellWorths - I'll be going up there one weekend to support.

Hi Phoenix, sorry to hear you've cold a nasty cold. Hope you feel better soon.

well that's me done for now. Off home. Gym then footie...... Hope you all enjoy the rest of your evening.

TTFN

Had to get this in before tomorrow's show - here's a picture of the toad in the hole I just made. This was more to prove to myself that I could do a good quality Yorkshire pudding. I hope toad in the hole counts. :)

Oooh Marc, looking good!!!!

Right, off to my bed. Night night all.

xxxxxx

Hi One and all,

Sorry I missed you Bond. Meetingitis seems to have crossed the pond.

Chris - only issues I had was with seeing family piano being loaded up on pickup truck by amateurs. Was an OMG situation. Piano ended up being safely installed. Was pregnant and moving house at the time (OK timing was not good) - will never do it again in that order. Stop press - will never do it again!!!!

aA - know where you are coming from. Follow this link to see a lady who sorted British Gas out for harrasement - the feel good factor (Martins money saving tips)

No sure how links work out but hope for the best.

I had a real problem with Egg, their phone system could never understand my vocal birth date - arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!
They sent me a survey - I completed it, nothing has changed.......
