Maybe we could club together Chris and send him to specsavers. Being an Arsenal fan even I was angry with the bad decisions.

PC

Morning Chris

Up at at 'em like me. Quite agree about video playbacks. They do it in rugby, why not football, would save a lot of heartache.

A friend of mine who is an avid Arsenal supporter, can't stand Chelsea or Drogba agrees that "we was robbed!!"

Have a great day

Have to agree on the points about video refs. It has worked well in Rugby Union and adds to rather than detracts from the drama.

Interesting stuff about your book too. Coming to the end of my first one and looking to publish this year - insha'allah as they say in these parts.

Morning Chris

Seems like everyone is up and about early this morning!

I didn't watch the match, but the guys in the office here all say Chelski was robbed, so they must have been...lol, and they're Man U fans.

JG x

Apparently, if you put Chelsea in your SatNav, it tells you it's two minutes from Rome..............

Time for work!

Hi CLP and to all fellow bloggers....I'm now no longer a virgin blogger. Been reading the blog for several months, having an early morning laugh at all the comments before starting work. I finally manage to get round to signing up.

Didn't see the Chelsea game but cannot avoid the massive controversy in the news today...nor sure about the conspiracy theory re UEFA not wanting a final between 2 English sides...but you never know...now it's down to MAN U to do the dirty deed!

Ref had really bad eyesight...no doubt about that.


Adios

morning all

back from holinobs - did I miss much?

Sorry ginge I didnt get time to pop in and say hi - the time just kind of slipped away from us - although Mr bp is still in your part of the world so if you see any dark green MR2's whilst on business??? :-)

football - what is that then? was there a game on??

ARF - if I might - Im in the mood for dancing - the Nolans - because at 5 tomorrow I will be heading home and Mr bp will be there waiting for me

Super bp x

Super bp, sorry you can't have The Nolans for ARF..dreadful choice..The BeeGees perhaps?!? Or even Bananarama....anything but Nolans!!

TangoB

Super BP morning

Just spluttered my breakfast over scene. Years ago in a xmas play I was the mirror in snow white. I had to wear a huge cardboard box covered in foil and sing I m in the mood for dancing.

Nobody told me why and am still scared by the memories.LOL

PC

i didnt realise the nolans were so contriversual!

How about I dont feel like dancing by the sisscor sisters instead?

Morning gang!

Nice and early this morning Mr Evans!

I was worried when I read "downloading" in your title - I used to work with a lad who every morning, without fail, after his first coffee of the day would disappear for his "daily download". Always said there wsa something perversely satisfying about doing "that" in works time and not his own!

I'd like to think he's gone far in life.

Bit excited today - it's Razorlight tonight at the 02. Bit weird getting ready for work tho, in the knowledge that I'm leaving at 4 and going straight to the smoke to shake it all about.

Bagpuss - glad you had a good time in Stanglia. Nice, innit!?!

MTF - as Beez says on t'other blog, I type realyl fast but I am also stuck in front a pooter all day. As I work fairly isolated (lady boss not a fan of talking in the office!) I consider the blog people like colleagues in a large office, ergo nipping in here every now and again for a "chat". Also find it easier to keep up with everyone by dipping in frequently rather than doing it all at lunchtime or of an evening. Be assured tho - if there's real work to be done, it gets done. And as for early morning posts, I don't "officially" start work til 9.30, so now, for instance, I'm not really here!

She's kooky, and she moves in her own way
Deevah x x x

Oooh how remiss - hello Tangobaz!

Wanna boogie?

xx

You sound like my kinda gal! Boogie Wonderland??

Morning,

I had a feeling that was gonna happen you know. Even thought about phoning bet365 at half time. Wish I had now! And Drogba, well I have to agree with you Chris, prat indeed and Sky mis bleeping the repeat had me in stitches.
But what I do find impressive is those people that use $%^& instead of profanity, but make sure they use the right amount of characters it fit the word. That is the sign of a professional.

MW, a!

morning, morning.

its a bit early to boogie isnt it CTD.

BTW, CTD I have sent you a message on fb.

I am going to have one of them days, spilt the cereal on the floor this morning, just knocked over my freshly made cup of tea. can i go back home to bed please.

Nick.

Morning Christoph

Beautiful day already over here . . .really looking forward to the weekend . . .

didnt catch any telly thank God last night . . . . I think everyone should have at least one night with the telly off and either a good book or good conversation . . .

DtM x

Nick,

Is it ever too early to Boogie?

Perhaps that's how you managed all that spillage this morning?

TB

It's never too early to boogie Nick - come join me and tangobaz. After you've checked FB! x

Bagpuss - have been in a disco groove ever since Tobe raised it on here on Friday night. And we've not seen or heard from him since. He was last seen on the dancefloor, throwing shapes beneath a glitter ball, dancing round his manbag.

Search party time? Maybe. Maybe not.

Morning Maz!

Oh yes, I can boogie!

Morning My Lovelies!

Didn't watch the football, can't comment on the result, but so many people sayin gthe ref was blind can't be that wrong, can they!!

I've got a problem that I need your help with - I've got a HUGE black, hairy spider in my bath, okay so it's dead but I don't wanna touch it to get it out - suggestions gratefully accepted - HELP!!

ebx

Ah, SBeep, yes apparently there was some football on...and get me, I heard David Guireida(sp?) on Johnnie Walker this morning, so I got to work and all the boys were talking about it...so I joined in...and akshully sounded like I knew what I was talking about...the poor gullible fools!

Anyhoo, I'm loving the UEFA conspiracy theory about wanting an all European final instead of an all English final...so the ref was a plant...

...as is a bizzy lizzie...

Good morning TangoBaz...was it a horrible self-tanning incident?

Oh - PS for all you plane folks - I nearly crashed me car this morning as I drove past the local airfield where big names make big planes - saw something called an airbus beluga - WOW - how massive was that - honestly worth a google guys! How on EARTH does it fly!!!

Hi debs,

I think I get it!

I'm waiting for Saturday, my first lie-in in two weeks...............well, say lie-in but all that means is that I don't have to get up with the boy!

ebx

Don't be frightened Jakeygirl!

It is quite a sight though - you think it can't stay in the sky - but it does. Makes a heck of a racket when it's taking off too. As I've said before don't ackshully work for A@bus but on the same site so see the Beluga quite often.

The A380 also flew over a couple of times - can't land runway not long enough but came down to about 200 feet and boy was it quiet !!!

Chocks Away !!

Hi Eb & Debs2

Today is my Friday too, but tomorrow is really for studying ready for Monday's exam. Still at least I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn!

Well didnt see the footy cos dont pay for it but will go with everyone`s opinion that Chelsea were robbed.... my work colleague is an avid BLues supporter and is most miffed this morning..altho the Specsavers bit was missed out seeing as tho we are in the same business! But final will still be good...for us neutrals anyway!

Blog was proper broken..gonna catch up with last night now..

and missed the show...did CLP play CTd song? is it him?!

And Happy Birthday Penny! Have a lovely day. x

RIght, off to find that grindstone..

Morning all,

Blimey I've had to think twice in one morning now - thanks to Debs and Hazel's posts - and I try not to think at all at work! ;-)

Debs, glad you're finally going to have a break, you must really need it by now!

Tomorrow is my last day at work before I'm off for two weeks of eating, chilling and walking (prob in that order) in the Black Forest. Can't wait.

The website is definitely struggling this morning, maybe there are too many of us newbies joining up and we're overloading everything?! Oh yeah, welcome TangoBaz!!

And Happy Birthday Penny!

Anyone watch the apprentice last night?? Was FAB in the boardroom I thought...fun watching Lorraine and Phil go for each other while Sir A sat and watched?

I think Phil deserved to go though..he was lucky to escape last week...by the skin of his teeth.

TB

Thank you, thank you, thank you all you lovely peeps. You are the most wonderful bunch of guys and gals. I feel I know you all.

Mr P off this week, so not been around much but he is taking me out for a surprise lunch in a mo. Not driving so watch out!!

Hazel - the cake looks lovely will have a slice with cuppa 'sarvo.

Hi SWF! thinking at work - dangerous!

off to the black forest - lucky girl - that'll be a lot of gateaux to eat then - never mind that its 70's kitch - I LOVE it! bring us a bit back and drop it off before you get on the big bridge!

Penny - hic!

morning all, hope you're well?

Just back form some pre-break shopping...love it

Drogba - no class.
Over-rated striker, he missed a hat-trick of chances which Anelka, Torres, Rooney, Owen, Greaves, Lineker (you get my point) would have easily converted. The main problem is these boys start to believe the hype when yhey're not actually that good. any ordinary striker in Chelski - or L'Arsenal - would score loads as they have awesome play makers, chance creators.
Life's about karma and drogba, boy it came back to haunt him big time. They scored in the injury time that he caused from his fake injuries, rolling around etc

I was gutted that a prem lge team lost but had to chuckle at the classless way it was received

Roll on the final eh? Could be a corker, esp if Ronaldo looks at Messi and realises that chasing back makes you even more world class, how good are Barca at closing down? Even the 'star players'

bonnet de douche

KW I didn't understand a word of that!!! Sigh! It's me - don't worry!

Anyhoo, there is all sorts of malarkey on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news about the 'Drogba Incident'...they even mention 'grassy knoll' chatter - see conspiracy theory...Drogba was hiddink in the tunnel and shot out in a fit of Pique, and his shouting just got Malouda...see what I did(ier) there...

Sorry not been on so far this week but been in Aalborg doing some training. How are we all?

Off on my mystery tour which hopefully will include a little (or even a lot) of imbibing!!

Apologies to most of you at work.

Hey, 1 year older, but who cares. 37 not that old is it?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pen x

No I'm 37 years young and still enjoying life. Infact I'm injoying life beeter then ever.

Cause I'm alive

sorry for tardiness in not replying. having oodles of fun on fb..

That could be the reason I spilt me cuppa this morning doing the arm movement for saturday night fever, its all your fault CTD and tangobaz.

I watched the apprentice, cringed at the sleeping bags with arms and legs and trying to sell it to the local hardware store. I think none of them deserve to be the apprentice as none of them have any nounce about them. Just my opinion...

Crumbs - the old blog is struggling today isn't it? Bit like the old days when most of your posts either went in to the ether or took 5 minutes to show!

ARF Footloose - Kenny Loggins

could do with a bit of a bop

Beesmum xx

...bees, I reckon your lls went the same way as my e...Adam Webster's gottem all!

Big neck40

My sentiments exactly. I find the apprentice compelling beause it is full of childish agruments by people who do not have a clue.

These are supposed to be the brightest "Business" people about.

Know wonder we are in the sate we are in. I hope Sir Alan breaks all his rules and sacks all of them.

The only one available is not always the best for the job.

Just my opinion - there others

...and sorry, Bees, need to take issue with you there. The noisy bird in the upstairs flat has a copy of Footloose, to which she does some keep-fit routine. The entire time I was at home prostrate upon the sofa with sick foot, she was cavorting about doing elephant jumps or similar, twice a day, to the aforementioned...

morning everybods (just)
Just checking in to give my ARF choice, not upbeat or disco but a fab song that is not heard enough- Tears For Fears Woman in Chains, Oleta Adams voice is incredible

Tiggs xxx

I think Im going to be a bit controversial over the football and stand up for the referee, sort of!

I can see why all of the potential penalty shouts could have been rejected.

Malouda incident initial offence was well outside the area, ref plays on hoping that Chelsea get an advantage, it doesnt happen and then play gets pulled back to the location of the initial foul.

Drogba This one should have been a penalty, but Drogba somehow managed to throw himself to the ground forwards, even though his shirt was being tugged from behind. It therefore looks like simulation.

Pique handball Piques hand was already in the air before Anelka flicked the ball on from 3 yards away from Pique, therefore ball to hand, not deliberate handball. Ive seen them given and turned down.

Etoo handball Etoo bottled out of facing up to Ballacks shot turned his back and jumped in the air. The ball hit him on the back of his arm, again ball to hand. No penalty.

The sending off was players getting in a tangle, again Ive seen them given and turned down. It should only have been a booking.

I have no axe to grind with Chelsea, and if the decisions had been in a United game I would have been screaming red murder for a decision. In the cold light of day and having watched it from a number of angles I can see why the ref may have made the calls he made.

Drogbas reaction though was out of order, I expect him to be banned, and Chelsea may even find themselves on a failure to control their players charge.

DD out

ARF King Love and Pride

Debs & Beez - my Daddy dearest is going to be driving (it's a regular family holiday we take) so I daren't ask him to stop in Bristle . . . tell me roughly where you'll be and I'll lob the gateau in your direction! You any good at catching?

Blimey website really is struggling today - maybe sralan's apprentices have been put in charge of it for the day?!

SWF

DD Your not crazy - your just nuts. Rugby is a much better game.

As a wise man once said -
Football is a game for gentlemen played by thugs.

Rugby is a game for thugs played by Gentlemen.

You never see a Rugby player rolling on the floor because someone touched him, you never see a Rugby player swearing in front of the camera or lifting his shirt up showing his 'Manly' chest to a load of blokes, You never see them kiss each other if they score a try.

And you never see these huge guys argue back the ref.

Pen! 37 is no age....Young At Heart-The Bluebells....ARF!!!!

I'm 41 this month, so be grateful.

Enjoy imbibing...luv that word...for all the wrong reasons though!?!

Tango xx

Happy birthday Pen and Hellloooooo! to Tangobaz!

Tiggs xxx

Adam, I don't disagree with anything you say! It's called discipline, and taking responsibility for your actions.

It's totally fine to knock seven buckets of $4!? out of each other as long as you don't argue when the ref sends you to the sin bin!

:-)

DD out

Oh dear, the blog is really struggling today isn't it?

Maybe it's all the people on 606 talking about the footie last night? Or those on TMS?

Happy Birthday Pen - Hope it's a good one xx

My ARF for tomorrow please is:

Billy Joel - Tell Her About It

It is his 60th after all!

AliB

As a rugby league fan, I couldnt agree more with Adam. I know that if a player argues with the ref they get a 10 yard penalty and it is drummed in to the players not to have a go at the ref.

These football players are wimps and are payed huge amounts of money for doing nothing.

I reckon it's something all over that is making technolgy go darn the choobs today.

I've just tried to contact the Badger with my mobile telephonic instrument, and first the screen said 'network busy'...then 'error in connection'...so I tried another buddy...and the same thing happened...

Did think it may be a terrorist blackout or similar, but have since spoken to him so all ok...and now El Bloggo is working again...so we shall see...

YO,Penny,MANY HAPPY ONES.Returns of the day that is.X
Hi to the rest of you.Deevs,you must be really glad to be able to blog then if Lady boss isn't much of a conversationalist! I dont have much company during the day while I am out and about BUT,at least the scenery changes regularly,thank goodness.
It was lovely being out at 4 this morning.Bristol was deserted albeit wet.You see a different style of driving at that time in the morning and as I took the M5 south to Tiverton,there were several drivers looking like they were coming to the end of their shift and a few drifting along into the hard shoulder before coming to again with a noticeable swerve of the steering wheel.
Yikes,a bit scary to see,the type of thing they normally put on nightwatch or similar.Well getting out into garden to plant sweetpeas before the iffy weather heads our way.When is this great summer that they are all saying is coming our way,due to start?Is it the beginning of June? Catch up with you later on.XX

Ooh hello! Where's the blog been all morning? Did ya miss me?

Is it me, or is it really really hot today? Almost steamy in factamondo.

Have posted blog meet dates on FaceAche. Be nice if some of you could join me and Beezer and the pink champagne brigade in either Birmingham (July) or Norwich (October).

Yep, Brum. We had such a ball we're gonna do it again - eh Beez. The champagne bar are already rubbing their hands together at the prospect of another bloggers meeting!

Hi All,

Welcome TangoBaz

Happy Birthday Penny

Hazel.....Good grief!!!!!

Football...don't know anything about it, but, whoever was squaring up to the ref in that over-aggressive way last night, should face a ban at least.
I'm a Rugby fan as is my son, and I would quite like him to get into football aswell, as I'm a bit of an outsider on that front amongst my mates.
But what he would have seen last night is in such stark contrast to how they are taught to behave at our club on a Sunday, that I may keep him away from it.

Just my tuppence worthy

Damn! Richard Allison has just nicked my ARF suggestion!

Quack!

CTD,

have you been somewhere.

It is really hot today, might dare take off my string vest and thermal long johns.

I gave up on the blog most of the morning.

Ripples, I agree with you 100 %.

Nick.

Afternoon all!

Penny - Happy Birthday!!

I am a very proud mummy today cos my lovely daughter went after a job this morning and got offered it on the spot! She is so proud of herself, but not as proud as me!!

Not sorry the Chels lost - would have hated to see them win the Champions League without Jose. Totally with you on the Drog Gingebre, altho having said that, he has got a gorgeous body and he can writhe on the floor in front of me any time!!!

Deev - I too wondered what 'download' meant and thought the worst! I knew someone who did just what you describe - wonder if its the same bloke - Colin?????

T xxxx

Hi Nick

I've been in a dark place all morning, listening to Razorlight and Kings of Leon. Did ya miss me?



Happy Birthday Penny!

Toodles Ripples!

Deev x

Morning, afternoon from a rather gloomy and overcast upstate NY. Heavy rain overnight, but it is supposed to brighten up as the day goes on. Supposed to be in the upper 60s today.... well we shall see.

Thoughts on last night game, well the ref aside, I think Chelsea paid the price for sitting on there 1 goal lead. A second from them would have killed the game. Barc, never evening looked like scoring..... not one shot on target until the goal..... all in all, not the most entertaining of matches. However, I would say that the reaction of some of the Chelsea players after the game was disgraceful. Whether they thought the ref was a biased or not to confront him like that was, well they should be ashamed of themselves. I think UEFA will have every right to throw the book at them and the club for their behavior.......But that's just my opinion.....LOL

Yes I did miss you Deev, hope you have had an enjoyable day in the dark place. Kings of leon are one of my favourites.

Bondy,

Again I agree with everything you say, Chelsea players were an absolute disgrace and UEFA need to do something about it. It doesnt give a good impression for youngsters.

Nick.

Morning Bondy

Just to add to your blog. I agree about teams, and not just Chelsea, holding on to a 1 goal lead. Whatever happened to wanting to win, or is that not taught in schools now a days??

One should never rest on your laurels (sp), always go for the win and never hope that you might just hang on, cause if anything Chelsea proved that that doesn't always work last night.

Over and out

I have to say that I've had a wonderful day thus far today. Amazing, in fact.

Nearly the weekend ..... yay!

Thanks Nick and Alib.....

Glad you're having such a great dat CTD.....

At last! Has the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ not paid the leccy bill or what?

Looked earlier - new blog but no comments box, did some more work, looked again - and finally it's here.

Happy Birthday Pen - 37 or otherwise!

I agree with the comments made re video replays and the differences between rugby and football - being brought up on RL but also watching the big games in Union I think they are proper men who know how to behave, even under pressure, whereas too many footballers are just spoiled prima donnas. Whatever the failings of the ref (and I only saw the highlights on the news) to behave like that is shocking.

Well, must get on. But before I do someone asked about our worst presents.

Two words - Juggling Balls.

When I was pregnant and feeling frumpy. Why, I ask you?!!!

df

Happy birthday Penny......

Hi Scoobs,

You'll appreciate one of the best presents I ever received.
It was from my Dad on my our wedding day.

He bought me a Rear wheel (without tyre) from a Jordan driven by Damon Hill - all certificated and everthing with a glass top to make it a coffee table.

Sits next to me in the office, I'm glad you asked as I take it for granted, and that's just conjured up loads of good memories.

Aah!!

Rips

x

worst present for me was when a baby carrier that you put over your shoulders. The person who bought it said they wanted one when their kids were young.

DD - I asked Gingembre for some dates and that was one of the first!! These coppers are busy bods, y'know!!

Don't worry about the weather - we'll be in bars for the duration!

007 - the best day for a very long long time!

Deev x x

Afternoon

We're you all a steamy lot yesterday? Naughty, naughty - lol!

Feeling much better today thanks. My bank holiday weekend seemed to be spent doing lots of things that were 'priority' whilst lots of other 'priority' things backed up. I can cope with peaks and troughs but this was off the scale. Anyway, things are a bit calmer, decisions made, some jobs done and some still be done. In the scale of things no big deal, but just felt frustrated and p-d off. Worse things happen at sea....

Deevs - have a great night tonight. If I was a little closer I'd have happily taken the spare tickets, but don't think I can get to you in time!

Beez - how's your tooth today? I was at the dentist getting my temporary crown removed and the permanent one fitted. All went well, got home absolutely starving and thought, I'll have myself a salad sandwich. Bit into it, forgot to chew it on the other side of my mouth and crunched against my new crown. Ouch!

Lyndy-loo - I had really bad morning sickness until I was 20 weeks. Couldn't even stand a toothbrush in my mouth. Suddenly stopped and only started again the day I went into labour. On the plus side, I only put 1.5 stone on in pregnancy 'cos I was too sick to eat.

ARF - Dolly Parton - Working 9 - 5

My worst prezzie - Mr Deev got me some wrinkle cream for Christmas just gone. I don't use it. Never have used it. And don't have any wrinkles. Yet!

Best prezzie - a stress ball thing that probably only cos about 1.99 but I couldn't live without it - especially when watching Arsenal!

dont know what you mean, us steamy, I wouldnt have a clue why you think that !?!?!?!?!?!

To the ladies,
I've just had a video clip of a "Wii for ladies" called Shii sent to me at work. Includes such events as simulated Wii ironing, leg shaving, housework including hoovering, and a certain activity of the bedroom nature involving an oral examination upon gentlemen.

I was disgusted and reported it to our IT focal point.

hmmm oh yes!
