Beatles don't really do it for me.....but each to their own! Spent most of yesterday listening to Radio 4 instead.

Welcome back Chris!!!
Cxxx

Morning CLP & everyone!

I loved the Beatles things over the weekend, didn't really listen to loads of it but tuned in and out and enjoyed the bits I heard. Suprisingly I knew loads of songs that I hadn't heard for years!

Oh Lyndy.....thanks for the heads up new blog....x

Hi Chris,

Have only managed to Listen Again to a wee bit of Friday's show - I will catch up during this week. My sister tells me the show was utterly brilliant, and she just could not leave the radio for one minute!

I did wonder if you would be doing an Audio Book - I'll definitely be getting that (as well as the written word) so just hang in there during the recording and remember - audio books are essential for so many people!

Tash: hope you have a great time tonight with your mum and all the other girls - relax and enjoy!

C xx

Morning CLP!

Audiobook! That's 'citin' innit!?!? How long will it take to record? I often wonder about these things .....

Stephen Fry does so many VO's he must spend half his life in a stoooodio reading pages of script. My fave of his are the instruction sections on Little Big Planet (a game on the PS3). He is so funny - I would have loved to have seen him recording them - they crack me up!)

Glad to have you back!

Hello CLP and bloggers!!

Chris, Friday's show was FAB, thank you!!!

I love listening to Stephen Fry - think he should do sat nav directions, would keep everyone much calmer!!

T xxx

Morning Christoph, welcome back!

Agree enjoyed the Beatles stuff but like Baz now had enough, for the time being anyway!

Yep, mega problems on the M25...........what's new eh?

BTW, attempted, without success, to get to the M yesterday, gave up, absolutely blimmin heaving!!

Congrats to Sarah and Peter.

Hello to everyone else. Off for an elongated (love that word) pub lunch with girlfriend today, lot's of ears burning no doubt!! Just hope the weather holds, just like yesterday flippin brilliant!!

Pen xx

By the way Chris, loving the piccie on the front of the book - you look very cool indeed!!

T xxx

Morning All. Busy again this week then CLP. Loved all the Beatles stuff over the week-end - had R2 on constantly. Brilliant.
Good luck to Tash's mum and her man.

Woke up late - ooops!!! to skip arriving - blue sky (nearly fainted) but you've guessed it - it is now raining again! Going to get wet today afraid but stuff to be cleared.

Off to catch up on posts. Back later

Beezer xx

Pen.......noooooooo pub lunch.....take me.....pleeeeezzzz!!!! Cheddar Ploughmans and a pint o' Harvey's please.....

MIL comes back to stay tonight.......2 more nights......can I make it thru?????

TBx

Errr: just read your blog again Chris, and it would seem it's just Tash and her mum out tonight, so I was talking rubbish! Tash: have a lovely evening with your mum!!!

C xx

Tango: I am dreading being a MiL! Even though I will try my best to be a good one, I just know he will think I am an interfering old "so and so". Which, to be fair, I probably will be!

C x

Baz you're very welcome if you can get yourself up to Surrey in about half hour. No? oh well never mind, your loss, HaHaHa!

Pen aka PPP xx

Hi Chris. Enjoyed the Beatles weekend,good to hear their music again.
Your a busy boy this week.Looking forward to Blackpool.
Good luck to Tash s mum.Is Noah page boy?
love to all.x

Morning,

I'm back - did you miss me??? I tried to catch up on all your ramblings (LOL) but gave up on Wednesday!! Did read Chris's blogs though.

I hope you are all fine and well, congratulations where they are due and hugs {{{}}} if needed xx

Had a great week camping with the "yoof", it wasn't without drama, but nothing major. Although if I told you the things I had to deal with and do on Thursday, you probably wouldn't believe me! Weather was kind and when it did rain it didn't matter. Spent most of the weekend trying to catch up on sleep and of course all the washing!

Chris, Look forward to the audio book and do you know I've never been to Blackpool.

It's good to be back, although it was pretty exhausting.

AliB

hi

haven't had chance to listen to beatles stuff yet - forgot my headphones today - doh!

I really like my MIL - we get on erally well and go on theatre trips together - sans the men - jealous anyone ;-)

Super bp

PS - CLP - still waiting to hear about the book tour - I'll be there!

Beatles dont do it for me anymore - bit dull now but certainly great in their day.

Weird and wonderful weather

Liz x

Hi Liz.....you can join my gang.....the anti FAB4 gang that is!!!!

TBx

TB - thats fighting talk

my wedding band played i saw her standing there and it was a floor filler - with people of my generation (the under 30's) - thier stuff is timeless

Super bpx - fighting the corner for the FAB4

Indeed what a fandabbydozy Beatles weekend; not that I could participate, what with bein' extradited to Dublin an' all; thank the lordy for Listen Again. Am ragin' I couldn't ring in actually, top show CLP; but then again I've had my turn and I did get 2 of me favourites played first by default.

Of course, I'm bound to have an extremely soft spot for the Fab Four, born in the depths of Liverpool in the 50s and growin' up with an older sister mad for them. One of my fondest memories is of going along to the Liverpool Empire with said sister and various friends to see them, and screamin' blue murder all the way through. Not that I knew why I was roarin'; I was just followin' suit, as you do. And not that I could see much either. In those days I was even more of a shorta**e than I am now. Anyway, I well remember the split factions on the way home over who worshipped John and who liked Paul. Me, I was disturbingly attracted to Ringo as even at that formative age I'd identified him as a bit deranged. Later on, though, my alliegiance changed to John and it has remained so ever since. I always think of John as the artist, Paul as the designer. George as the general Top Bloke and Ringo the nutter.

One of John Lennon's best quotes, for me, was when asked if he thought Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he replied, "Ringo? He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles."

Excellent. Ere. I wonder what his take on the world would be today. He wouldn't half be stirrin' it, I'd say.

Clodagh.xx

And even I never realised that the above quote was in the context of Ringo throwin' 'is dummy out the pram, resulting in the marvellous revelation that it was Lennon on the drums in Back In The USSR.

Probably everyone else in the world knows that, but it passed me right by.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh - I might be really wrong here - and feel free to shoot me down - but i thought it was Paul who made the comment about Ringo's drumming - either that or I've been making a right tit out of myself over the last few years?

I loved all the Beatles stuff, particularly the Duke on Sunday, even switched the football off to listen to it in its entirety.
A fantastic show and his interview was Macca was just superb radio, especially for a Beatles nut like me anyway.

Still missing Parky on sunday,s though christoff, there are some broadcasters that can never be replaced.

JTT

Hiya Tip-top! I'm so with you on the Parky front... I really miss him too:(
I end up watching Lovejoy on TV instead (and that's not the antiques dealer)....
-x-x-x-

All the Beatles stuff was fab, but like most people, I feel like it's like being in a hotel; after a few days of scrumptious meals, sometimes you just need something a little bland. Lighthouse Family, anyone?

Baggy I would not DREAM of shootin' yous down, babe. Even wit me catapult. No, you're probably right; I was never one to let facts get in the way of a good story and it kinda sounds like a Lennonism. But yes, it may well have been Macca, bless 'im.

Now that's enough a yous bein' right. One more strike, anybody, and I'm takin' me ball 'ome. How many times do I have to tell you. I'm a mum. Ergo I know EVERYthing. Ha.

Clodagh.xx

Parky, now. Renee goes all googly-eyed at the mention of Parky. Lovely Boy. I put it down to him looking remarkably like the DDF Eric, and has the same wit and Yorkshire xenophobia as the DDF's Lancastrian affliction. He'd have rather eaten Lancashire manure than Yorkshire vegetables, bless his little truculent soul.

Clodagh.xx

Is it wrong of me to say "Parky - I so would"

AliB
xx

AliB: just to say - I was thinking of you only yesterday - I thought it was just about time for you to appear! Welcome back, glad to hear you survived the fun and games!

Clodagh: wow, your dad must have been gorgeous!

I have always thought Michael Parkinson was a babe. When you see old clips from Parkinson in the 70's, he was delish! And then just got better and better. He's still lovely - so AliB, it is quite appropriate of you to feel the way you do!

Baggy: nice to see you back. How lovely that your wedding was wonderful, and that the honeymoon was great. I did leave a message for you, but I think I just missed you before your wedding day.

Just for the record, I am on your team with it comes to the Beatles. I never tire of them, never will. When you think of how young those guys were when they were writing this stuff - it is mind blowing!


C xx

OMG!!! Storm from nowhere or what????
Downpour!!!
-x-x-x-

Monsoon!

MTF.xx

Now heatwave!

MTF.xx Confused!

It might as well rain until September.

Ahem, it did! LOL.xx

Sunny 'ere. For now anyhooooo.

Lyndy - I know you're not referring to the tv show, but Lovejoy was filmed all around where I live - antiques central!!! Our little local branch railway line was even called "The Lovejoy Line" until they realised that Thomas Gainsborough was more worthy, and re-named it The Gainsborough Line!

I just had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for me lunch - delish!

AND .... the postman delivered the 3 Beatles CDs I ordered last week from "that" site! That's me sorted musically from 2 til 5 then ...

Deevs
xxxx

Its coimng your way Deevs, but blink and you'll miss it.

MTF.xx

OMG...Have just googled the menu for saturday night.

Wheres Debs, do you want my order now???

MTF.xx

Blimey MTF - looks good, dunnit!!!!??!?!!

Where to start .....???

Deevs
xxxx

Crab wotnot takes my fancy!

MTF.xx

Enufff Beatles already.....enuff I said.....

I love Parky too...but not in THAT way......(he likes cricket see)

Re Lovejoy.......anyone remember the episode with Brian Blessed???? And Lynda Evans????

If so....I gotta story....

TBx

Oh well, will go and knock up a crab paste sarnie, really must eat breakfast before now!

Off to face the big wide world.

Have a good afetrnoon all.

MTF.xx

Love BB!

MTF.xx

BB scares me - that episode of Have I Got News For You he was on earlier this year made me cringe.

Hello Everyone

Not raining here yet. Hope going to stay away, gotta walk to shops.

I saw Brian Blessed in panto couple of years ago. He was playing Captain Hook

Altogether now "Peter Pan is ALIVE?!"

Deffo scary

Deevs, shall I send you Nutella Cake Recipe?

Seza xxx

Baz - Watched way too much Lovejoy. Like Deevs, is all local so used to watch for places we know. Pub they used for a couple of series is in next village to us. Used to do fab food but changed hands now so not sure. Was original home of the Essex Huffer!!

Seza xx

Seza - yes please!! Email addy on FB.

Hmmm, now to which pub are you referring Seza? Finchingfield? Wethersfield?

non Stanglia peeps - everywhere here ends in "field" coz we got bloomin' undreds of 'em!!!

xxxxx

To go against the trend, The White Hart in Great Saling!!

Village shop he used to stash stuff at & workshop, gallery he used are in Great Bardfield tho.


Again for non Stanglia peeps, anything starting with Great only means there is an even tinier hamlet somewhere called "Little".

In breeding tho has given us Bardfield Saling - we aim to confuse!

Seza xx

LOL Seza. Well summarised!!

x x x

Doncha love ole English village names? I live near to places called Sheepy Parva and Sheepy Magna though I used to have a bit of a snigger at a place in the phone book called Upton Snodsbury... sounded awfully posh :))
-x-x-x-

Seza and Deevs you kill me.....obviously living quite close to one another you know the same 'neck of the woods' with ya Greats and Littles and Fields...You know it aint all Sea down here in Sussex...we got fields too.......wiv cows 'n' everyfin........

Cows??? By the seaside??? Shirley not!?!?!

xx

Cows??

Gotta be near the sea cos that's where they have the posh boat races!!!


Boom Boom

Seza xxxx

"sneaking off to hide now!"

AFTERNOON ALL, HPE YOU'RE WELL?

Ooop, excuse the caps. Haven't listened to the Beatles stuff as it doesn't float my boat, never has. Appreciate the greatness and all that just not my bag baby. Been off work for few days now, Colchester zoo, various parks, picnics, shops etc already done. Car service booked, scooter having a gentle bit of tlc in garage as I type, lots of earphone wearing in gym done/still to do.

Well we survived the boat trip, no-one fell in and the dog was really quite good. Had an issue mooring at one point when me and dog got out and Mr JG drove away pulling the rope out of my hand and then got it wrapped around the prop and got stranded! Anyway, he was rescued, sadly! But he had my cigs, so that's ok!

ps Sorry about the spacing, can't text any into the phone!

PS A told yer on Saturdee it waz gonna be 'THEE' weekend!!!!!

See blog #260 & 262 on the previous blog!!!
Done it again.... predicted the outcome before the qualifying or race 'as started!!!!
Don't know if am tuned inter the other side.... but ave just been able ter do this with Fisi for years.... MAD or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only recently decide ter put it on the blog... even though a feel mad when a write it... but strangely.... any reading the blog can see me predictions are MEGA accurate!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Mystic Meg iz me long lost auntie without me even realising it!!!!!

As for Fisi.... the BIG rumour iz that Ferrari want 'im ter join them as a stand in for injured Massa!!!!!
This iz Fisi's all time biggerst dream ter drive for Ferrari!!!
But as much as it's BRILLIANT news.... it's a terrible dilemna!!!!! TERRIBLE!!!!
Why leave ForceIndia just az all their 'ard work iz coming ter fruition?????
And under the wing of the eccentric billionaire Vijay Mallya!!!
A like Vijay.... getta good feeling that 'e seems like a nice bloke!!!!
Just where Fisi needs ter be... now that 'e's proved 'imslef az 'is #1 golden racing driver ter take the team forward!!!!!
Mind you a think Vijay knew this anyway.... as 'e chose Fisi ter be the driver ter 'elp develop 'is new team!!!!!
And lets face it.... alotta money invested in the project!!!!!
Remind sme of when Fisi drove for Eddie Jorden so much.... they way Eddie liked Fisi alot and supported 'is talent!!!!!!!!!!

But then ter go ter Ferrari and at the Italian GP.... A MEGA , MEGA, MEGA, MEGGGGAAAAAAA DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But then is the Ferrari such a dog ter drive???????
My feeling iz that Schuy test drove the Ferrari ter come back and thought oh dear... whatta dog ter drive.... call me cynical but a feel maybe partly why 'e backed out with the neck injury as the excuse!!!!
Mind you the Ferrari did beat Fisi though at Belguim... only by a whisker and 'cos of the KERS system that Fisi didn't 'ave!!!!!
Also if Fisi goes ter Ferrari what 'appens when Massa comes back????????
Fisi treated like crap as always and without a drive... just used as a stand in!!!!!!!!!
Ferrari always knew Fisi wanted ter drive for them but a closed shop when Schuey waz there az a feel Schuey always wanted a team mate who wasn't gonna upset 'is party aka noot be too fast and give Schuey a run for 'is money!!!!!
(noot that Fisi would ever be better than Schuey but a rate Fisi az the third fastest/ best driver on the F1 grid!!!!!!)
And if Massa doesn't come back.... then next year Fisi as Alonso's team mate!!!!!!!!!! It's deja vue!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no nooot again a top drive for Fisi but Alonso dominating the whole team!!!!!!!!!!
My advice ter Fisi 'as 'ard as it iz.... stay at ForceIndia and use yer position now ter negogiate a new 3 year drive deal with Vijay at ForceIndia!!!!!!!!!!!! Take yer up ter 40 and with loads of clauses all on your terms Fisi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way i'd go ter Ferrari iz if it's a proper drive for next year and no Alonso in the team!!!!
Only sign with Ferrari if it's taking Alonso's place!!!!!!
If Alonso iz so great.... let 'im do the stand in now!!!!!
Sure they could afford the release fee ter Renault and the Falvo dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for the GP on Sundee a saw Fisi getting a top 10 in qualifying but thought it too ambitious so predicted 11th or 12th... but pole!!!!!!!!! WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!@@!!!!!!!@!
Then the race on Sundee.... MEGA perfect start from Fisi.... pulled away the second the lights went out.... so good that 'e could take a nice perfect wide sweeping line inter turn 1 and more so able ter pull out the gap needed through Eau Rouge and up the 'ill ter stop anyone getting 'im!!!!!
When Kimi messed up on lap one a so 'oped 'e waz gonna be taken out at the top of the 'ill but the behind avoided 'im.... then it caused mayhem behind!!!!!!!
A knew Kimi with the powerful Ferrari and KERS waz trouble!!!!
Then the safety car came out and Fisi messed up the restart!!!! E just gave it ter Kimi!!!!
If a waz Fisi I would ave nearly half a lap before the restart backed the field right up..... then tricked Kimi with a brake then blast off.... if a didn't trick Kimi and 'e managed ter stay on me tale... then i'd brake again then blast off ter catch 'im out a second time and getta good gap.... but Fisi just let Kimi stay wreet behind 'im!!!
Easy overtake up the 'ill.... and Fisi knew 'e messed up there!!!!!
But the only bit in the whole weekend!!!!!!!!
Shame too Fisi and Kimi on EXACTLY the same pit stops... me prediction of a lap 12 stop for Fisi waz close... lap 14 e cam ein but so did Kimi!!!!!!
The ForceIndia team should ave changed the strategy ter try and jump Kimi through pit stops!!!!
But a suppose easier said than done.... 'ow did they know Kimi waz on EXACTLY the same fuel load!!!!!!
But for Fisi ter 'ang on ter Kimi less than a second behind for the whole race and finish in second.... AWESOME faultless performance!!!!!!!!

But this iz a terrible decision for Fisi ter make... stay at the 'appy ForceIndia team az the main man..... or go ter the pressurised Ferrari team..... Fisi's dream az an Italian.... but maybe end up very un'appy az it's just tempory or az Alonso's team mate again!!!!!!

VERY..... VERY DIFFICULT DECISION!!!!!!!!!!! Just Fisi's luck.... always someone ter spoil 'is party.... bit like Kimi on Sundee.... a mean 2nd MEGA..... but the win waz Fisi's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow!

Mind you.... would be nice if ForceIndia would release Fisi just for a few races ter drive at Ferrari!!!!!!
But why would they wanter do that with their STAR driver?????????

A think Fisi can win Monza in the Force baby!!!!!!!!!!!!! A long straight fast circuit.... perfect for 'is car and style!!!!!!!

PS CLP - Goot some Oasis.... Don't Looook Back In Anger!!!!!!!!!! (nowt ter do wit the GP!!!!!) Just fancy abitta Oasis!!!!!!!!

#66 - 3 times #22..... I LIKE IT BAYBEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!

PS A spent Saturdee driving me truck arooound Liverpool whilst listening ter R2's Beatles tunes!!!!!!!!!!!!
And past John Lennons 'ouse in Manlove Ave, Penny Lane and INDEED past the Matthew St Festival.... WHATTA COINCIDENCE

NNNNYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super - I love the blog Mr Evans. Life - full - love it: It's all about getting on with it and I like it. A lot. Thanks

Evening gang

Now, CLP, this "giving up the mirror for a week" malarkey .... please have some empathy!! I'm a 41 year old laydeeeeee who has the baddest of bad hair days even when I use a mirror in the mornings .... can you imagine what would occur if I was to leave the house of a morn having applied me make up and "done" the barnet sans mirror!?!?!

Lorks O Lordy!!!! There'd be small children crying in the street and growing up with a constant clown phobia .......

It doesn't even bare thinking abaht.

And wooden clothes pegs all the way guv'nor!

Jamie Oliver at 9 tonight - hurrah!!!!

Deevski
x x x

Christoff Lambie Pie yous look just like Noah on the book cover! Hahahahahaha bless. Mind you. While I'd bite ickle Noah's belly no probs, I'd not be doin' that to yous, no offence, like. Pinch your cheeks, like, but...

Anyway, Chrissie. Yes of COURSE the DDF was gorgeous but I'm biased. But Ali. you SO wouldn't have. He was a right awful eejit with a twinkle in his eye but he had some hideous problems in a house full a women, 'And even the dog's a bitch'..and I maintain he had his underpants welded on like Ken. Oh yes. I well remember the row that erupted when he was washin' his face in the bathroom, face full a soap, and Renee snuck up behind him and pulled his trolleys down for a laugh. Suffice to say she never did that again, we girls were grounded for a week for snortin' and laffin', and Eric bore a lovely H-shaped scar on his forehead for months from head-buttin' the tap.

Right. I need a cuppa. Have just returned from Liverpool with the GD so am exhausted and skint.

Clodagh.xx

Evenings all!

Reporting in from darn Essex - down to one night a week from here on in - which makes it kinda fun - no cooking, no washing up and blackout curtains! no 'duf duf duf' moosic from GDs room and watch what I want ont telebox! hoorah - all will remain well as long as I am still in this hotel and not demoted to the faulty towers one again.

Deevs/MTF - glad you like the restaraunt choice for Saturday - any one else want to join in now????

right off to catch up ont other side to see what i've been a missing.

Beatles show was brilliant! Thanks Chris.

Played the new Beatles Rockband in Liverpool HMV at the weekend. It was such fun me and my mates couldn't help but shake our heads as we played (badly).

Just starting on the listen again for the Fab 4 weekend.

hiya guys....

sorry but transfer day "football" so been watching that!!!!!

hows everyone ??

love Billie xx

"knock knock" is there anyone there ??

Just wondering if anybody else likes the Carol Bayer Sager song 'You're Moving Out Today' which Chris played on the show tonight? I've always loved this song as it reminds me of my childhood in the 70's, you know 'It was always sunny!'etc,etc... I've just been looking up Ms Bayer Sager on t'internet and I didn't realise just how prolific a songwriter she is, both as a co-writer and on her own, she's even got an Oscar and Grammy awards, I think she's pretty awesome!
Long-time lurker,
Maridle
p.s. It's strange what causes people to comment after lurking for so long isn't it?

Spare a thought for me a week tomorrow.

In fact, I'll be specific, spare a thought for me at nine minutes past nine and nine seconds in the morning.

Why?

Well, apart from the fact that I will making list number 472 of things that I must remember to pack - or rather put into a big pile in the middle of the living room floor so that Mrs MfR can pack it all (her rules, not mine - I'm just rubbish at packing. Must be a man thing), it will be my birthday. All day of course, not just at that time of the morning, but think about it:

09-09-09 09-09-09.

Now that is a cool birthday.

Although, it you turn it upside down it gets a bit sinister....

By the way Deev. Many of my distant relatives are buried in the church in Finchingfield. A long story, some of it I have told on here before. One for another day perhaps.

Peace + love

MfR

PS Bright light city gonna set my soul

Wotcha Billie - seems footie follows me most of my life - I try to ignore the prima don's these days but as it's in the family and some of my closest friends - guess I have to take notice!
Prefer the oval ball meself and growling F1 cars!!

Blimey - that reminds me - Bingo!! Fisi should stay where he is I think! ForceIndia could be the second Brawn and surprise the socks off everyone. Agree with your comments about the red team and shooey - don't rain on my parade and all that - as for alonso - see above - should have been a footballer!!

Hi Billie - I:m fine thank you. Been a taxing day to say the least - culminting in my boss exploding in our afternoon meeting, thankfully not at me though!!!

Beez - Jamie just extolled the virtues of chilli and chocolate - see!!! I'm not bonkers!

AND ..... going to a chilli festival in Essex the day after Barry Manilow and ballgown night!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
