OK, before we start...

Chris Evans | 09:36 UK time, Friday, 25 September 2009

...Look at whose desk is the neatest, gold-star winning work of art in the office

desk-250909-600.jpg

Only Scouse Sarah's - all her own effort, before any of us had chance to lend a paw.

Anyway to business.

At 06.15 hours this morning, I sustained first small child's toy induced twisted ankle. Gee whizzer and chips it hurt. A small cup was responsible - the yellow one pictured.

After the tower had been demolished (obviously)...

Shortly before this, I had challenged Noah to a sleeping competition, but he was more interested in which of us could stay awake for the next thousand years.

The bliss continues.

    Greetings Of Plato Symposium Type Sentments Ter CLP & ALL.....

    Bingo Star ere........

    Yo.... yo.... yo... yo.... bounce, bounce!!!!!@!!!..... a said BOUNCE... BOUNCE... BEYONCE.... BOUNCE!!!!!!.... A am Jay-Z..... a am bouncing!!!!!!! Did 'e say Beyonce or am a just imaging, sorry imagining it?????

    CLP/ Scouse Sarah - Beautiful..... a most beautiful desk.... only problem... 'ow long will it last????????????????@@@@@?????????????????

    OK..... Cold..... play >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    So ave finally arrived 'ome after a mamouth weekend of 'appenings and it all started with me BIG surprise for the blogger who's name am noot allowed ter mention on the blog.... aka Suzie Boozy!!!!!!!!!
    A came armed with plenty of G&T's in me suit case and the most important bit for a change noot being the G&T's but documents all.... when a say documents if a get too direct on the type a might give away the BIg suprise... but since the surprise 'as lapsed.... a will say which type of documents.... tickets & tickets ter the biggest concert Coldplay ave ever performed!!!!!
    Yes a toook Suzie ter a Coldplay gig at Wembley staduim!!!!
    But noot just Coldplay but also supported by White Lies, Girls Aloud and Jay-Z!!!@!!@!!!@!!!!!!!!!!@@@!!!!!!!!!!!

    WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!@!@!!!!!!!

    So a managed ter get Suzie on time ter the Wembley... still keeping it a suprise... and even when we were wreet outside the stadium.... Suzie although clicked we were going to a gig.... she still didn't know who waz playing!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It waz first time in the new stadium for both of uz so pretty excting.... Suzie certainly waz pretty excited.... in fact she's VERY pretty even when she's noot excited!!!!!!
    When we goot inside we made it ter near the front of the stage, standing area, and settled in for the wait before the gig began.
    It's only then that Suzie found out who waz playing... noot one, noot two, noot three but 4 acts!!!!!
    It waz worth every penny for the gig just ter see the smile on 'er face and 'er BIG dark capricorn eyes light up!!!!!!
    First on waz White Lies (yer might remember a put their flagship tune on the blog last week - a clue ter the suprise!!!)
    When they came on a waz shocked.... a thought it waz Gareth Gates az lead singer!!!!!!
    A tell yer ave seen them on TV a few times but in real life.... a swear it waz The Gareth Gates!!!!!
    Any way they were brilliant and great for Coldplay ter give them the chance for a young West London band ter get some BIG limelight, thus 'elping ter bring them ter the attention of alotta music fans!!!!!
    A went mental all... a waz clapping sort of Queen gig style.... yer know the standard 'ands tergether above yer 'ead with each beat!!!!!
    Most in the crowd were just watching but noot me... after a few G&T's that we'd sneaked in in our coke bottles a waz ready ter WROCK and WROCK BOG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry BIG!!!!!! (noot been under G&T's know, sorry now!!!)
    A waz at times the only one clapping above me 'ead when all arooound were noot!!!
    But a think yer should support a new band.... so a waz!!!!!!!

    Second ter come on waz Girls Aloud.... MY GOOOODNESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    They all loooked 'ot - am tellin' yer!!!!! A still can't decide which waz me favourite but a feel a made a connection with Cheryl Tweedy.... she kept loooking me way.... or waz she actually loooking at the 61,000 people directly behind me.... a like ter think maybe noot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And WHATTA COINCIDENCE.... Chezza Tweedy with beautiful dark eyes and the closest ter loooking like Suzie!!!!!!!
    A must admit a felt sorry for the male dancers..... a mean imagine phoning yer mum with the news.... "mum, yer never guess what.... ave been chosen ter be one of Girls Aloud's dancers and at their 'uge Wembley gig!!!!! Only problem.... ave gotta wear bright pink booots!!!!!!"
    Know, sorry now, me arm movements 'ad changed from The White Lies clapping above the 'ead ter one arm up and pointing in the air with a twirl!!!! Yes it waz camp but the whole crowd waz pointing with one arm ter the beat of the babes!!!!
    Camp it may ave been but it waz worth it for The Tweedy!!!! And The Sarah.... And The Nicola... And The Kimberley..... And The Nadine.... but az am most astro compatible with The Tweedy.... for The Tweedy most!!!!!!!
    ('old on am just getting a message in me ear piece......... "Bingo The Tweedy now Cole!!" 'old on blog friends... soz ere.... "She's Chezza Tweedy!!!! Whatta yer damn talkin' about???? AYE???? Ear piece "Bingo Cheryl Tweedy is now Cheryl Cole... she got married!!!!"
    What az in Simon Cole??????????) (Blimey it's all go on the X Factor!!!!!!)
    Soz blog friends ave just been advised The Tweedy isn't Tweedy but Cole..... aka The Chezza Cole!!!!@!

    Third ter come on it waz The Jay-Z!!!!!!
    Now this waz the act a wasn't sure if i'd like or noot az ave noot been ter rap gigs but........... The Jay Zed waz awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    YO, YO, YO, YO, YO, YO, YO, YO, YO......... BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE BOUNCE, BEYONCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE..... and a waz all...... me 'and movementations now changed yet again.... this time it waz an arm up in der air...... 'and slightly curved terwards the stage, then with each BEAT/ YO...... it waz a jig of the arm and 'and terwards the Jay Zed!!!!!!!!
    YO... JIG ARM...... YO JIG ARM..... YO JIG ARM........... and on top of that we all learned the Jay Zed sign with the 'ands; Basically yer put yer thumbs and fingers tergether above yer 'ead and form a triangle shape wit yer thumbs and first fingers.... then jig terwards The Jay Zed..... YO.... JIG TRIANGLE...... BOUNCE... JIG TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!
    There waz one thing though that waz on me mind az a think all blokes in the crowd must ave been thinking.... WOW..... there's a bloke, thee bloke who actually must ave jigged The Beyonce..... BIG RESPECT!!!!!!!! YO!!!!!

    Then fourthly and finally it waz The Coldplay!!!!!
    By now a waz exhausted..... 5 'ours of dancing, jumping and YO-ing..... a nealry didn't ave any energy left!!!!!!
    But on came The Martin..... and whatta performance!!!!!!
    A could wreet az much az ave already writted ere again just about The Martin's moving around the stage.... but a won't!!!!
    All a will say iz what an AWESOME gig...... one i'll never forget!!!!!!!!
    Yesterdee a banged a bit of it on the blog... the Youtube of Yellow and the 'crowd X-Factor audition', the whole gig waz amazing and so well put tergether!!!!!
    This time me it waz the turn of both arms ter be raised and clapping ter the beat!!!!!
    Near the end thousands of coloured paper/ foil/ luminous butterflies were blasted inter the air above the crowd.... absolutely amazing...... they were being carried inter the air and az a turned arooound a could see a vortex of air carrying some out of the stadium and inter the night sky.... they really did look real!!!!!!
    All in all..... a MEGA GIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!@!!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am teeeellin' yer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The only problem.... the next dee apart from being a little deaf.... me ankles from jumping and me arms especially me right one from grooving.... they were killing from 7 'ours of intense jumping and jigging..... a tell yer too much groooving ter the groove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Suzie waz joking that 'er kids will 'ate 'er when they 'ear who she's been ter see and in particular Jay Zed, making 'er cooooler than 'er kids!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
    All in all it waz worth every penny just ter see 'ow 'appy Suzie loooked!!!!!!!


    GOURANGA GIG GOERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PS Anoother link from the gig this time of Coldplay doing a cover of Billie Jean complete with guest appearance of Simon Pegg >>>>>>

    OOooooOOoooh a toy induced ywisted ankle. Just wait 'til you stand on a piece of lego (other plastic bricks available) or a toy car on a tiled floor!!!!! Got any news yet about any East of England book signings???

    That's work done for this week, these nights are getting harder I tell you. Off to pick up #1 daughter from school inabit then a busy weekend ahead. She's going away this weekend with a charity called Nelson's Journey. They're an awesome local run charity that take chidren who've lost a close relative to cancer away for the weekend. All very poignant too what with my ru on Sunday.

    Bingo - what can I say??? I was bowled over by your post (#3). Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Also a massive thanks to the continued support from you all with your good wishes and your financial generosity.
    What an amazing bunch you are, I cannot believe how much I've raised for cancer research and it's mainly down to you lot.
    I will give it my all, and let you know Sunday evening how it went.

    humbled - as usual by this blog and it's bloggers

    Hi CLP and the rest of you,

    Scouse Sarah's desk is a vast improvement, but still a little too much clutter for someone as a*&^*y retentive as I - I mean - who needs that many pairs of scissors?

    Chris, that injury is nothing compared to the one that they inflict on you when you are laying on the sofa (see, topical!) and they jump on you for a cuddle.....They seem to have a homing device aimed instinctively at the old fun factory.
    It's hard to pretend that it doesn't matter when you are weeping!

    ARF - Harold Faltemeyer - Axel F.........Why not?

    Have a top weekend all, and good luck Ginge and daughter

    Hello all bloggers, CLP, Tash, Noah and 'the cup'

    Sorry as usual not had chance to hear all your blog stories and gossip, but hello to you all anyway. Good luck gingembre for Sunday....it'll be a breeze, esp if you have lotsa carb full baked beans the night before :)

    CLP, please, as a mature student, can I have an extension on our reading material and make the review mid week???? I have been reading every day, and think I will now have to get glasses. The smaller writing books (the kind I used to avoid) are not just hard to read literally (or is that literaturely?) but physically too. So eye test on the way. Hope to get to Plato by Sunday! Many thanks Chris in anticipation. Incidentally where are these book signings taking place? Any north of the border?!

    Then the Think Like Da Vinci....and lots of other books required to read for my studies!

    A late ARF - Hootie and the Blowfish - Hold My Hand

    Deev - that big guy will go I reckon - can't remember his name. Can I come too with Debs - I'll bring my own bucket and spade.

    Just had an email from the beeb saying my complaint had been upheld ? A??? Wot????? haven't complained cept for ages ago when I asked if one of my comments could be removed cos when I read it - it didn't exactly say what I meant !!! Confused dot com

    I'm new to this! But I just had to comment, for I too have sustained a baby-related injury today. It's called having a 4-month old who will only sleep in my bed, thus causing unbelievable tiredness and therefore clumsiness. My list of injuries is long, but so worth it.

    Me, my husband and my little girl Alex always listen to the show; we even listened in on the way to hospital when I was in labour. It was all request Friday, so consequently, during labour and delivery, I had "Bring Chris Evans on, bring Chris Evans on, it's all-request-Friday bring me on..." stuck in my head. So I thought I would share my story and post my request here, because I can never call in with a gurgling 4 month old!

    Black Sweat by Prince, or anything by Prince because he's such a huge hit in our household!

    Thanks! Keep up the brilliant work. I will miss your drive time show when it changes over, but I will be tuning in in the morning. I have no doubt my little tinker will have me up at that time!

    Just for the record - I don't get Strictly either.
    I'm normally a sucker for those things too!
    Also, it may be naive - but I have wondered for years why they have to run the two biggest shows of the week side by side.
    Just seems like they could both have their cake - but choose not to!

    I never used to happen with Noels house party and Blind date did it?

    Croc - agree re Bruce, not watching it this year. My munchkins and I prefer X Factor and since the Beeb decided to put Strictly on at the same time as X Factor there really was no choice to be made. So it will be Merlin, followed by X Factor chez Daisy tomorrow night (if I have made it home by then!)!

    A five year old boy told me today that a 2 humped camel has food in one hump and drink in the other, whereas a one humped camel has food and drink in the same hump mixed together. Is this true?

    Like the idea of a masked ball too... saw some gorgeous examples in Venice a few years ago.

    Hi

    Had to disappear earlier, as my boss sat with me all afternoon going through some figures, so thought it prudent to close the blog down!

    Didn't have any problems getting back on though, so the gremlins must be fixed.

    Well done Barney! Good choice.

    Have just caught up with Mum who's had a fantastic week's holiday, seems like she's been away ages!

    Mmm Seza, Spag bol sounds good, shame I haven't got any spag, could do pasta shells I suppose?

    Deev, can I come too?

    Hello everyone else....I'll be here forever to mention you all!

    Seza, have just been called by himself to say that he's had his tea, so might do it for myself tomorrow - CBA tonight! LOL

    Have just taken some photos of our weird sky tonight, but then promptly lost it, also had a cute one of mad-dog (who is never being allowed upstairs again)!

    Spag bol all eaten. Glass very n ice red wine drunk but Mum's taxi on duty tonight so next glass will have to wait until 9.42pm when I go off duty.

    Sky here is v beautiful tonight but just missed photo opp time.

    JG am glad to hear Mad Dog has good hygiene habits. Does he have his own shower gel & which shampoo does he prefer? hehe

    Seza xxx

  • Comment number 83.

    Actually, last time I bathed him, which is rare, as I get wetter than him, he got head and shoulders as that's all I had!

    He used to be such a devil with the shower, (obviously, we only have a curtain, not a door) that we started using the one over the bath. But he seemed to be better, so we've gone back to the other one...until this morning!

    It's just such a mad critter with water! He turns the dishwasher off, as he leaps at the damn thing cos he can hear the water! Note to self, next one has buttons in the top of the door! He has also changed programmes on the washing machine!

    Looks cute, but completely useless!

    Oh, but have just given him his worming tablet, and he took it and ate it, with a bit of cheese to follow, so he's not all bad!

    ROFL Can just imagine the shock if you having your early morning shower, just waking up & coming to the world, then your get a cold, wet, doggy nose on the back of your leg. Eeekk

    JG 36 mins to Strictly - 8pm start.

    Sparkles at the ready

    Seza xx

  • Comment number 86.

    LOL Seza!

    Well Mr JG will be pleased then, he finishes at 8.00 and hoped he'd have missed it! LOL

    I must admit it was a shock, normally I get a clue from the lapping sounds, as he used to drink all the shower water, soap and all!! this morning was a leap straight in moment, well half anyway!

    Didn't really know what to do, dry myself, him before he leapt on the bed, or what! Definately going to make sure the kitchen door is closed next time!

    PS Oi!! Where is everyone??

    Evening Loons,

    The re-registration is due to them improving some of the Beeb blogs - not sure if that includes this one or not but I think they must be asking people to re- register across the board....

    Imagine if they upgraded this to auto refresh!

    Waiting for Rogan Josh to be delivered and holding back on a bottle of Cobra until the food arrives.

    Jason was brilliant , 2.5 hours , had the place in uproar. Have booked to see John Bishop in Dec and Michael McIntyre in Nov, am turning into a Comedy roadshow groupie..

  • Comment number 96.

    I think I'd rather see comedy live than anything else - there's nothing better than being made to laugh until you ache....
    They're building a new theatre in Aylesbury which should attract some bigger name - proper flash it is!

    I once saw Tim Vine at the local Civic Centre - not even half full - which was a real shame as he was hilarious.

    Who's John Bishop, not heard of him?
