Also gotta add that that i will ALWAYS miss TFI and the way it made me so ready for my weekend and ready to have the best weekend of my life,...till the nxt friday @6,then start all over again,....Thanks for being such a LEGEND!!
The Radio show is cool too , deserve all the awards from sony, keep enjoying each day and that keeps everyone else buzzing.

Well done on releasing the book, ive remember going into Smiths and asking for "Little Big Shot" by C.evans....and it never quite reaching the shelves, lol! nevermind its gonna be a classic read in october.

Am i waffling people? Just wanted spread the luv!!

Being a Britpop Kid ,..well 31 now, but still loving the sounds..

The Bluetones "If"

Yeh but Jilly - let's not hope it's a dirty story of a dirty man, and his clinging wife doens't understand. And as for Noah working for the Daily M@il .... Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

CLP, go have a feast, you so deserve it!!

ARF - Please Please Me...........

cos I would love to be pleased, and have my name on the rayyydeo at 5.05 tomoz

Pen xx

Hi CLP and the bloggers

ARF for one and all on the blog has to be All you need is love - a great rousing beginning to the show

luv

Susie (as my nephew now calls me!)

Failing that Christophe please play Blackbird as start of ARF for my son and daughter-in-law who have been married a whole month today!! My son sings it often and did so at their reception xx

Chris,

You are really too hard on yourself - I think you are looking the best you have ever looked. I see a lovely guy - a happy man, who is in love, and is loved by his wife, so much. I do believe that when Tash blogged here, she said she couldn't live without you. Can't say better than that!

So, the book is done and dusted. Just relax and let us do the rest, i.e. put you on the top of the best sellers' list!

Mike: welcome to the blog - you will love it here. Thought your post was excellent!

Billie: (from previous blog) sorry, I was at the Post Office, fighting for my life with a new ticket system! But, I know from experience that it's a weird feeling when you send a comment and absolutely no-one replies! It just works out that way sometimes, honestly!

Yo CLP Dude And Yo Ter ALL Blog Dudes....

Bingo Star ere....

CLP - Make Up!!!!!!!!!!!! 'ow many years ave yer been on TV???? AYE?????
And yuv still noot learned the secret of all the male gods of tv!!!!!!
In fact a getta little feeling Wrightie might enhance 'imself for the R2 wemcam!!!!!!!!
CLP boy.... remember the Bingo Star advice and am sure that all tv make up artists would say this.... 'if yer a bloke, ter appear on TV... yuv gotta take abit of a leaf outta the rule boook of male TVs who don't appear on tv.... aka use abitta make up ter enhance ones areas!!!!!!'
No need ter wear womens attire though.... thankfully!!!!!
Noot that ave goot anything against womens clothes - no offence ter all female bloggers or any TV bloggers who might be arooound.... but a think it's abit weird ter wear womens clothes if yer a bloke.... unless yer off tv and doing a pantomime!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL - Most interesting topics on the Matty Barrister shoe, sorry show terdee!!!! (In for Jerr Vine again!!!)
Firstly 'e waz discussing people/ kids clinging onter the back of trucks etc!!!!
A remember an incident in Manchester when a waz driving me 44 tonne tanker.
A came onter off the M60 and waz waiting at the end of the slip road waiting ter pull onter the roundabout. In fact the very same junction where a recently 'ad ter defend mesen in court for someone trying ter sue me for an accident that never 'appened!!! (some blog dudes might remember a writted about it on thiz very blog).
A waz waiting ter pull out onter the roundabout, just about ter move off, when a noticed a group of teenagers instead of going around me rig... duck under it between the tractor unit and the tanker a waz pulling!!!!
Absolutely mad... if i'd pulled off at speed... and they 'ad goot caught underneath... well 44 tonnes of truck..... i'd would just crush a 'uman being.... MAD!!!!!

Az for the second article... on a more light 'earted note.... A 'ear a swingers club iz opening in a town and there's alotta fuss about it.... Don't see the problem mesen with a quality golf practice area!!!!

GOURANGA TER ALL SWINGERS OF YER CLUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS CLP - For ARF.... 'ow about Manic Street Preachers and Motorcycle Emptineeess!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't say CLP, a don't give yer quality ARF recommendations ter play me small part in 'elping ter keep yer show..... LARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS All this talk of tree surgeons.... reminds me of me tree surgeon joke!!!!!!!!

dopey me not looking !!! too busy watching Everton on telly!!!

Depeche Mode for arf please !!!

no one around ????

I sent a e-mail to the Vine show but it wasn;t read out. I saw a woman ont top of tractor loaded with Hay and was swaying from side to side. She found it very funny but there was nothing holding it all together. don't think she would of found it so funny if she toppled over and fell off on the road into an unsuspecting car. People can be very silly at times.

Anyway loving the show Chris.

Hello ChrissieSagain and Billie.

M.xx

hope you got out postie office Chrissie ??

im watching Everton and getting tea cooked!!!!

fish n chips !!!! yummy!!!

Hi Michm

cheers ChrissieSagain!

As far photo shoots go Chris ( does he read these? hope so) i used to always love it when you appeared in the paper with your crazy ginge hairstyle bouncing outta control ,or when you turned up on tv in random clothing that looked liked you had just thrown it together,...classic! it worked ,but wouldnt for anyone else but worked for you.

I bet theres some great photos in the book.

As im new to this group, i feel that bingo star may be a daily blogger with lots of intresting things to say, with a intresting way of typing, takes me abit longer to read tho!

Was Willlllllllllll on the show the other day, because i missed yesterdays and saw his picture on blog yesterday?
peace
mike

Hi Chris & Everyone
I am a first time blogger too. Been reading the blog for ages and thought I'd get involved now that I'm on maternity leave again and have more time on my hands?!?!? Wierd, thought I'd have less time with 2 babbers to run around after....
My suggestion for Beatles All Request Friday is For No-One as it's my favourite Beatles choon, but Paperback Writer is an excellent suggestion.
Any hoo, best get on with some washing - there's plenty of it now my little bilge is with us - she manages to spew over a wide area - how do babies do that??
Love to all
Shelster

Hi Shel and Mike..

welcome to the group!!!

love Billie xx

Me again......

CLP - Just been listening ter yer show and WHATTA COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!

Yuv just said yer are wearing make up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS A missed the ARF must be a Beatles tune.... so ere iz one... scrap me motorbike ARF and 'ow about The Beatles and 'elp instead!!!!!!!
Az a need all the 'elp a can get - know what am sayin'!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow!

HI peeps
ARF - I Saw Her Standing There or Something
Tiggs xxx

Chris wanted to enhance his good looks with a little make-up!!!

he did not need to bother he ok as he is!!!

Billie: I just about escaped with my life from the Post Office. New ticket system - you get a number, mill around for a lifetime and then eventually someone serves you. Mad!

Michmel: yep, some people are nutters. Every single morning on my way to work, I encounter at least half a dozen drivers who would appear to be fed up with life!

Mike: I can assure you that Chris reads this blog, and he replies to it sometimes in ways that will astound you!

Shelster: welcome. Babies are such fun, aren't they!

Bingo: genius as always, what more can I say?!

Right, I am off home - looking forward to washing the floors to clean up all the mud MrS dragged in this morning, five minutes before we had to leave the house!

C xx

Thanks Billie!
Everyone seems pretty cool here.
im off work at the moment with an injured ankle after a footy match, so i got the little extra time. Have to say , i dont mind as the pain killers are good and it gives me time do talk to yourselves.
You guys listen to the show on your comps while talking to each other?
nice afternoon!
mike

coo that sounds a total nightmare!!!! right i not going in a postie office!!!!!!

normally i listen on my i-pod dock when home but Everton are on telly so Chris gets relegated !!!! sorry Chris!!!


ouch hope you get better!!!

I give up - will never finish - so work it is tomorrow - and not going to bolt hole until probably Sunday.

Welcome newbies - Mike, going to work with a poorly ankle? Are you aq Michelle? Yes - we listen on 'puters and talk here and on fb and some on twitter and amazingly get work done too!!!

Beezer xx

hey Chris, if you do read this ....v.cool if you do! i have a question for ya

Will you be doing any book signings in stores and where? maybe southampton?

Also if so, would it be too cheeky to as you to sign my copy of "Ginger Nuts" by Howard Johnson ..aswell as "its not what you think"
Reason being,at the time it was the only Biography i could find of you at the time ( around 6 years ago).

....Cheeky or Not so cheeky?

Mike

Oh see - so shattered - I can't type !!! Back later - got to be a take away tonight - too tired to cook ! Thirsty Thursday - gonna hit the red - just off to purchase !! Back later.

Beezer xx

...Doctors orders im afraid,what can i say , doctors orders! who am i to argue with the man :)

But i work in a 3 floor music store, and it would be quite funny for everyone to watch me struggle with the stairs.

Evening each

Great news about the book Chris, will be pre-ordering very soon.

Photies - I hate photies, specially of my visog!!Why do they never correspond to what I see in the mirror?

Ah Chris, you look lovely, isn't vanity a deadly sin? (says she who blew half the house on cosmetics, creams, "product", highights, to name just a few, in the run up to the nuptials). Anyway, can't wait to read the book.X

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes to Boleynteen. We got her a couple of Friends DVDs (they're all in to them at the moment!) and I've given her some clothes money like you Debs - she's into charity-shop surfing (sorry, vintage!) so a little goes a long way. However sh'e still out with her mates so she doesn't know yet. And we're having champers tonight, pink, and her favourite meal, spaghetti carbonara, while we watch The Full Monty!

Welcome to the newbies, and glad you found your way to the NEW BLOG Billie! Hi Chrissie and Beezer and all others. This blog is truly lovely.

ARF - All You Need Is Love - say no more!

Ah well Christoff dear heart, don't diffuse yourself too thinly bless you. Keep enough back for your little chap and your lovely missus, they-and you-deserve that.

And for goodness' sake stop fussin' about your lack of perfection. None of us is. And the person who thinks he or she is, is the person furthest away.

Ooo. I'm 'ard.

Any road up. Enough a bein' nice. Greetings from a warm but blustery Dublin; have been chargin' round like the proverbial blue a**ed fly since silly o'clock this morning and shall be doing so all weekend. Am a bit diffuse meself at the minute. Or should that be profuse. Or obtuse. Or puce. Yep, puce. Face like a red mullet, you think you've got problems, Lambie Pie.

Can't make up me mind re. ARF; Octopus' Garden still gets a vote.

But maybe, from over t' Irish Sea,

PS. I love You?

Or better still...

Paperback Writer?..

Hurrah.

Clodagh.xx

Beez, i'll see you in the Pool for sure. Am going away week on Sat so cant meet then. :-(

Deev, love the dress .........

Evening all
Puff from France here.
Another good day. it's so weird (oh dear tried that 3 times!) being en France & yet watching English TV and being able to blog!! I have just whizzed through so can't send personal responses but great to see what everyone is up to.
Can I just ask ( cos obviously missed it) why Beatles ARF? (grew up with Beatles!!)
Puff
xx

I'm going to a 70s dinner party that night but not sure what I'm going to wear.

Puff - R2 are having a Beatles Bank Holiday Weekend and ARF is an all Beatles affair.

Deevs, with a new dress!
