Crikey - not 1st am I??

Darce x

Sorry, no Darce!

No sign of snow ooop north, thankfully!

CLP, it could be worse, you could be made to watch endless repeats of Bulleye like I have to, just in case Mr JG's cousin is on the re-run!

JG x

Oh, and they got to the final and lost BTW - "Look what you could have won" hehe

JG x

Morning Baggy - pipped at the post!!

Chris can I be up for nomination for England tomorrow please? My builders have SAID they are going to resume work on my house tomorrow after disappearing in September!! Woohoo!!

Thank you

Darce x

Snow arrived in Gloucestershire after 6am this morning (You may have heard about problems on Birdlip Hill on the prog this morning)
Snow has now turned to fine rain and slow is disappearing fast in the Severn Vale. It may not be the case on the Cotswolds.

End of weather report over here

Chris,

You can't beat a bit of bulley...
Please no more snow - my rear wheel drive car has had enough of sliding down hills...
Great music on the show again today Chris. More Kinks but please no more of that screeching banshee Leona Lewis - does she have to use all notes and use her full range in every single goddam song?! Sorry, rant over now...

Nic

P.S. More Johnny Cash too please!!

Nic - I may be wrong here but some subliminal messages are coming through. Do you like Johnny Cash by any chance???

Morning All

Raining with a bit of sleet here on Northants/Bucks boarder. Pleeeeaaassse let it not turn into snow.

Crumpy - Big cuddles to you during this sad time. Take care and remember to take some time out for yourself.

Baby scans - Oh, how I loved the whole experience. My mum was totally amazed at hearing GD heart beat and seeing he image on screen...memories are made of this. Hope all goes well for those involved.

Right then, must get back to editing this here website, which is driving me insane. If I get loads done to-day I might be able to do something more exciting tomorrow (yawn!).

Keep smiling.

I heard your "wrong button" moment at the start of today's programme - and I thought it worked better than your usual start, particularly given the early hour and the gentler pace left behind by Sarah Kennedy. You're normally too manic for the first couple of minutes and my girlfriend usually asks me to turn the alarm radio off - but she didn't this morning. Why don't you do the same thing every morning??

Rob.

Hi Chris,

Good luck with the darts - I quite enjoyed a game of darts in the "old days" when I used to go down the pub with my lovely brother!

The show this morning (I had to leave it at 8.30) was just brilliant. I hope this is not over the top - but it is joyous!!

Love, Chrissie xx

Morning peeps!

Here at last after an early lunch hour excursion into Coooooooooolchester for some shopping (nice and empty shops at 9am, packed horrible shoutey shops at lunchtime).

Chris, didn't the amazingly wonderful Justin Hawkins want to ressurrect Bullseye?!?! I can see him now, clad in his tight white catsuit, flicking his mane in a camp manner giving away a caravan. Oh yes!

Enjoy Cooooolchester and show Johnny Sports Monkey how it's done.

Meal with chum last night was delish: started with funghi al forno, then linguine de la mare, topped off with tiramissou, naturally. Lots of girlie chat to catch up with - and not just mine - but a huge hug when I dropped her off at the heady time of half eight! Rock and Roll indeed!

Lady Boss out til about 3pm which leaves me feeling, well, errrr .... Maid up!

Muchos Amore

mtd - lost count of the number of times I have seen Walk The Line...answer your question? lol...

Nic

Morning!

Mr Chris Evans, most interesting discussion above: Reminds me of the time I was once being chauffuered by my driver, I paid him on mileage similar ter the distance you mention above.
Sadly I became most annoyed when I found out he had... didled, yes didled the mileometer & was fiddling with the diddling... his mileage!

This wouldn't happen in Sweden!

Deevs, Careful with those foreign words - you might get modded!

Nic

x

Just back to say thank you so much to the gorgeous MwA and Errol for the copy of 02 photo - lovely memories. Will pop donation in post and birthday & Xmas cards in due course!!

Crumpy - thoughts are with you at this sad time. With all that loving support you are giving out, please take time for yourself to grieve as well xx

Darce x

lol - ok hon, just for you:-

Stuffed mushrooms
Long thin pasta with seafood
A coffee flavour cakey squidgy gateux thing

Betterererer!?!?!

btw - bad spelling wednesday?

Deevs
x x x x

okay - am I the only person who doesnt end my post with a kiss? Well fair enough, my kisses are special and not for all

And otherwise I end up putting kisses after my name on business emails and I haven't time in my life for an office affair

I know what I forgot to say yesterday - Where's MTF? Hope you are OK.

PS - is it true that fruit has no calories? I have eaten (as well as my porridge) fresh pineapple, grapes and dried apple today and I'm still hungrey

Cheryl, Didn't say I didn't understand them!
Baggy - No, you aren't, it's a personal thing I guess.

Nic

x

Sorry Baggy. It appears my attempts to encourage people to support you on the Moonwalk upset someone as it was modded.

Thunder
So out of here and back under a rock of his own

TC - thanks anyway for the plug and if anyone wants to support me the link is on the fb CLP page - just let me know if you want it put up again (for a limited time only until the modders get me)

Baggy

Everything has calories in it, but the nutritional make-up is what makes them "good" or "bad". As fruit is mainly water, vitamins and natural it's "good" calories. Choccy choc choc, on the other hand, is mainly carbohydrate and fat, ergo "bad" calories.

I keep meaning to ask you - how's the Moonwalk training coming on? I noticed the lighter mornings this morning - I used to love my power walking at 6am - a cool 5 miles before work.

Will sponsor you when I am settled in new abode and all addresses changed over so I can do the Gift Aid thing properly.

Cheryl xx

peeeeeeees: Nic ..... phhhhhhhhhhht! x

Morning all - again -
Good luck with the darts Christoph slightly less energetic than last week.

Thunder - I wondered what you were modded for. Meant to ask yesterday and it went out of my head. Hollow at the best of times - doh. Not had snow still - just rain - loads of it though.

Baggy I am now going to look at everyones posts to see if they put a x

MTF gone in to hiding cos she is still a poorly person but so Bridge says, when I asked, will be back. A bit of a - do not disturb - moment I think. When you are ready MTF ??

Fingers crossed they turn up Darce!

Mountain of work to get through here - see y'all later.

Beez xx

Johnny Cash always reminds me of my favourite uncle who died a few years ago. In fact on the morning he died, JW played This Thing Called Love which had me in floods as you can imagine.

mtd ffb xxx

Training - what training - I literally have no training plan in place, I figure 2 gym visits and a body conditioning class and swimming when I can will keep me fit and a few long walks before the big one will get me match fit.

As I leave for work at 6:20 a pre work walk is not possible but I do get off the tube one or two stations early to stretch my legs before I am copped up all day - and when my breathing is back to normal (asthma playing up a little at the mo) I will go back to walking up the stairs (6 flights) to my office.

To everyone - Sorry if that it the worlds most boring comment - if you sponser me I promise never to mention it again!

PS - MfR is doing a real marathon this year :-)

CLP great show this morning as normal you really seem to have taken over the breakfast slot with great esteem
Deevs glad you had a great time with friend and meal sounds good i thought you might have been down at Bobby G`s house welcoming the boys to Deevs part of the world if for only a few more weeks !!!!!

Thanks for the update Beez. I thought she had rushed back a bit too quickly.

MTF if you are lurking or Bids please pass on the message - Please look after yourself and get better soon.

mtd ffb xxx

Nic - advice to you, if you listen again to CLP like I do you can skip leona lewis before your ears start bleeding, keep keep bleeding

Bullseye - what a top programme. My favourite bit was the "keep out of the black and into the red" bit because the prizes were so fabulous. When I watch the re-runs now it takes me straight back to our house circa 1973. We didn't have a caravan or a speedboat but we thought we were so cool having a Soda Stream. I think I used to push the button too enthusiastically or something because whatever came out of there was so carbonated it almost took your eyeballs out when you drank it.

'Working' from home today. Yeah, right.

Lots of love to you Crumpy.

Oh, and a kiss for you, Baggy. x

And thanks for the meun Cheryl - I'm now absolutely starving.

Ha ha - what's a meun? Is that Swedish for menu?

WM - I did text CLP asking if he wanted to meet Deevs for a coffee .....!




Baggy, please, please do not take this as a dig BUT .... you have to train. Do not under-estimate the Moonwalk - it is a full marathon, which you are doing at night, when your body has already undergone the rigors (sp?) of a normal day and wants to go to bed.

As you know (sorry everyone) I've done it twice now. It's a fantastic event for an amazing cause. But you really really have to train. The first time I did it, I had the "I'll be fine" attitude, did a few walks beforehand and it took me just over 10 hours. And hurt. A lot. In fact, a very very lot!!!

The 2nd time I did it, I trained hard. I started in January (as soon as I was informed of my place) and the walk itself was in May. It's not easy - you have to be extremely motivated to go out an do a 20 mile power walk on your own - but the rewards come the finishing line on the Sunday morning are monumental. And I did it in 8 hours. And recovered quicker, despite being 2 years older!

Also, please look into your diet - nutrition is such an important part of any fitness regime.

And your footwear - make sure you are happy and that the training shoes you are wearing for the event are also the shoes you train in.

Please don't take this post as a lecture, but read and receive it in the spirit in which it is written.

And most importantly ... enjoy the Moonwalk!

With love

Cheryl x x x x

Beez: thanks for letting us know about MTF - I did notice her absence yesterday.

MTF: take it easy, and hope you get better soon.

Baggy: I always put a wee kiss or two at the end of my posts - just a wee term of endearment, but I agree: kisses are precious!

C xx

LOL Baggy...
It's not just the screeching I object to, it's the taking of a fabulous Snow Patrol song and murdering it.

P.S. More Johnny Cash please!! (OK, I'll shut up now!)

Morning all

Christoff, good luck with the sporting challenge, hope you make it one all. No sport talk in this house, with the exception of tennis, thank goodness! Oh, and, it goes without saying, brilliant show again today.

Darce, hope you get to represent the nation on tomorrow’s show, do you think you might stand a better chance if it was cloud cuckoo land?!? Lol

MTF, if you’re lurking, get yourself up to full speed soon, take it easy xx

Noooooooooooo, it is snowing darn sarf!

Pen xx

Cheryl, When's the dvd coming out and will it have an Aerosmith soundtrack of "Walk This Way"?

Nic

Good morning!

No snow please! Still have no heating at home and it's driving me bonkers! More so than I am already :o)

Can't catch up on yesterdays posts as I'm restricted here at work. Hope all's well.

Went out for a lovely meal last night with my brilliant Priory mates. Those girls are amazing, friends for life. In fact more of a family to me than my real family...too deep for here methinks.

The meze was superb, can't wait to go back there.

Debbie.....(just for you Baggy) X X X X X X

ps: Thinking of you Crumpy.

Debbie, hi, this very morning I bought some of your crumpets, well, not yours exactly, but you know what I mean. They are the best!

Nic

Methinks the soundtrack would be more along the lines of Elvis's Devil In Disguise: you look like an angel, walk like an angel .... !

Either that, or March of the Penguins.

Deb - really good to see you back and sounding upbeat. We really have to have a catch up soon.

Morning All,
been lurking but keeping out of trouble.
Chris - I am living proof that if men didn't have sport they could still talk rubbish on a world class level.
Also:
I have to say this, it's been bothering me for ages and sorry if it upsets anyone.......







But - if MMM isn't Bingo, then I'm a Dutch man.

Thanks mtd, ffb - I shall consult The Oracle and see what He says!

Deevs

LOL Pen - I did put SAID they were coming back!!

Darce x

Beany, I think the official test of whether it's a sport is whether you can drink a pint of stout at the same time as playing it. So that's darts, dominoes and shove ha'penny out, all running around sports in and sailing borderline, depending on the prevailing wind.

xx

Hiya Rips: welcome back. I will say this: I wish I had coined the catch-phrase "This wouldn't happen in Sweden"!

C xx

Chris

Re Bullseye

Jim Bowen is an absolute legend. A group of us went to see him perform at a club back in the day and during the interval, as the result of some over enthusiastic audience participation he came to join us for a 'quick pint'. True to his word the first pint we bought him was rapidly despatched. He was none too tardy with the other four either. He was a little indiscrete regarding the contestants on the show; suffice to say most of them were not on there because they had just missed out on Mastermind that year. It may just be me but most of the contestants looked rather relieved about not having won a speedboat.

Beany - No darts is not a sport, it's a pastime or a pub game.
mtd - Thanks for the info.
Who's this Rips fella...?

Uncle Oracle

Nic - I'm new on here but wanted to say that as far as Johnny Cash, Walk the Line and all that is concerned, I'm with you all the way. But can't agree about the Leona Lewis cover of Run, love it as much as the original.

CLP - got to hear hello/goodbye for the first time today after fumbling with my radio trying to re-tune after the pre-set had un-set. Made me laugh after a very stressful journey to work. One of those days when you know you should have put petrol in the car but didn't and then got stuck in motorway traffic with the nearest petrol station on my route to work too far away. So had to turn off, head on a different motorway in the opposite direction and hope that the car made it. Note to self - it is not clever to play chicken with the petrol gauge!

Laura

Sorry Rips - don't know any dutch except slag = cream. You may not understand this (given your change in nationality) but I'm pretty sure that MMM isn't Bingo (I think the post today was a bit Bingoish but there was not enought punctuation or elongated words). I do think though that MMM might be a reincarnation of one of the bloggers who pops in from time to time that attempts to rock the boat - time will tell in the style eventually (BG any clues??).

mtd ffb xxx

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Could, therefore, wibbly-wobbly be classified as a sport? (Head on top of hockey stick and running around it 10 times before trying to run 10 yards and down a pint as fast as possible) count?

If not, then my years spent on hockey tours believing that not only the hockey, but the 'training' between matches would all pay off in the end?

I might not be too good on the hockey pitch now, but i'm not bad at the other bit, well, as long as I don't have to do the spinning / running bit. In fact, perhaps I should stick with the drinking beer bit. Perhaps i'll go down the pub and throw a few arrows later.......

;o)

I used to play hockey for my school team, many moons ago. I was "Left Inner" and my dearly departed dad used to wind me up endlessly by saying "Left Inner the changing room".

Bless him!

Also encountered the worst ever possible sporting injury a 14 year old female could incur whilst playing a match of pupils vs teachers at the end of term. I still whince when I think about it, although luckily it never stumpted the growth of the affected area ...!

In fact it's so embarressing a can't take it ter me local council tip az a will be a laughing stock & am frightened of putting it in me wheelie bin in case a get fined for putting it in the incorreeect bin!!!!!!
A thought know, sorry now, iz me BIG chance ter discreeetly get rid of it... if a just leave it over there it'll be removed without notice.... which iz just what ave been looooking for for a long teem!!!!!!
So a left it... descreetly ter be removed without notice!!!!!!
The only problem all..... the guard noticed it..... unattended & i'd forgoot ter take out me alarm clock... which waz ticking away inside!!!!!!
Next thing the army bomb disposal & yet again (some may remember me train 'andle ter speak ter the driver blog a few months back at Crewe in which a goot arreasted by the ploice) the BTP aka British Transport Ploice were called ter the train at yet again Crewe!!!!!!!!
A tried ter tell 'em noot ter worry it's mine. The sergeant asked "what's the ticking coming from inside??????"
A said "it's mine, it's noot goot anything dangerous inside.... just me 1978 Mickey Mouse alarm clock thatta waz also trying ter DAMN IT discreeetly get rid of!!!!!!"
A added trying ter 'diffuse' the situation "let me open it & a will show yer it's 'armless aka un-armed!!!!!"

Laura, I'm forever playing chicken with my gauge too. It's the one thing I absolutely hate doing, and I put it off for as long as possible! I know it's pretty stupid, cos I know I'll have to fill up eventually.

I've not yet managed to be late enough to hear hello/goodbye yet

JG x

Aw Deev that song has mixed memories for me...still love it to bits.

Did you hear Gary Barlow on with SW yesterday? Isn't he lovely? Gary that is :o)

Be good to catch up by the way, did I see something about a London Meet?

Afternoon all

Can't beat a bit of Bully - just remember the cartoon Bully wandering across the screen at the end of a round. Genius prizes of a speedboat for the landlocked of the Midlands who took part! Have fun CLP!

DebbieC - thanks for the tip of Worcestershire Sauce to spice up the beans yesterday - I have to have tomato sauce on them to give them a bit more taste normally!

All the earlier talk of exercise is making me think I've got to go and do some this evening. Guilty conscience on the whole "keeping up with New Years Resolutions" thing.

Ripley

Hello,

My favourite bit in Bullseye was "Come and see what you would have won". Classic.

Even as a child it made me squirm when he said "Keep out of the black and into the red, there's nothing in this game for two in a bed". Eughhh. A bit like Brucie with his "You don't get anything for a pair.... not in THIS game".

Baggy, being married is not much different to before to be honest. I still keep referring to "my partner" and then remembering he's "my husband". And how about this - despite all the jewellers telling me it's impossible, I seem to be allergic to my wedding ring! It makes me itch and flake if I wear it for long. And I know it didn't come from the pund shop as I was there when it was purchased. I think I'll have to get another one, but not this month as we are in the process of buying a lovely new clutch for the blue car. I

Yo Rips.

Sounds like your dear Dad was very similar to mine. I always thought that he was the second Eric Morecambe! I broke my right arm when I was 7 and took an exam to go to my school, I passed and got in, my Dad told me it was only because they took pity on my broken arm.

I am left handed.

Afternoon blogland

JG and Laura - I abs hate hate hate going to the petrol station. I esp like it in certain countries where you go and they fill up for you, wipe your windscreen and take your cash or card and you haven't moved from the drivers seat. Usually in warm sunny countries - but here where it is usually horizontal rain and cold we have to stand and shiver while filling up and then have grubby hands!!! so any oil companies out there - us ladies would happily pay extra for the above. Well I would!

Totally different subject - but another pet hate is going to the loo! Always seems like such a waste of time - no pun intended!

Apart from that, life is good.

And a special one for Baggy x

Hello!

Woop - made it. Into blog, I mean.
Not so easy as BabyDriver "hit the road and I'm go-o-one ... what's my number .."

Been playing catchup on all work I couldnae do because of snow and ice this month. Five more days in London area and 2 more in Sarf Wales should see me right.

Was awake at 3.30 am, made a cuppa and decided to read last two days of this blog - only took 2 blimmin hours! Fell back asleep and missed CLP on the wireless.
Note to self - MUST prioritise :)

Nic and other Johnny Cash fans - Walk The Line. Oh yes. One of the few films I've seen more than once.

As for Leona WhisperScreech Lewis - quite like her new one, y'know, ICU - theme song to 'Avatar' - another film I've seen more than once.

Am now proud owner of 5 pairs of 3-D goggles - includes 2 for 'Up' 1 for 'Christmas Carol'. Do I like gimmicky cinema by any chance? :)

Also just want to say - generally-like - have posted a bit in here since New Year [not as much as I'd've liked] and if anyone has replied or commented in any way and I HAVEN'T responded - thank you and sorry. The only reason I've not RE-responded is that I've not been here to follow up - if you get my drift. Same goes for FB CLP Bloggers page thingy which I joined and haven't been able to get back into for a few days.

Think I may have waffled on a bit too much ...

I wrap you all in a smile

I hate putting petrol in my car so i tend to play chicken until mr bp is in the car with me as he doesn't mind doing the honours!

I don't and won't put petrol in my car. The bloke does it for me. Never, ever let it get low tho'. It's normally a Sunday morning job for him along with washing it! He gets spoilt as well...........

I have seen you on the FB bloggers page but can't friend request you.

You do seem to get around - the country I mean (hence the name I suppose).

I also think that I am wasting far too much time chuckling reading all your comments,and that I really must go and get some work done. Although I do think that I will be back later to waste some more time!

:) Mcw x

I loathe putting petrol in my car. I used to only have to do it once every 10 days or so. Nowadays (for now) it's a Friday and Sunday past-time. The worse bit is the prices on the M6 services - daylight robbery and then some!

MCW - you're a bit more 'over' than me - I'm leaving Sarf Suffolk and know the beautiful villages of Long Melford, Cavendish, Clare, Lavenham etc very very well.

I once parked Mr JG's car on the drive with the petrol light on, and the 'puter thingy-wotsit telling me I only had 5 miles of fuel left.

Trouble is, I completely forgot that it was him that was going out in it next - I didn't 'alf get in trouble, so I don't let it get that low anymore.

Oh, and we're both in the car, I'm still the one who has to fill it up!

JG x

Ladies, What IS the problem with putting fuel in - it can't be that difficult surely?! (Ducks for cover...)
Deevs dear - try Tesco, it's FAR cheaper and could very quickly add up to a litre bottle of Bombay Sapphire (Or should that be Mumbai now?)

Nic, who has far too much caffeine for 1 day...

xx and a cheeky extra one...x

Nic, dear

I need to find my way to Tesco first!

Me
x

Putting petrol in isn't difficult it's just tiresome, and definitely subordinate to more exciting things like shopping. Everyone knows that when the little light comes on you've still got hundreds of miles left in the petrol tank ....

My favourite trick is to see just how far into the negative countdown you can go before the car croaks - I've got to -5 miles so far.

Laura

Give me strength!

Hi everyone,

I'm afraid I seem to be in the minority here, must be the OCD in me but I fill my car every Thursday when I get paid, no matter how much is in it already, and I check my tyres, oil and scooshy regularly - SAD - Me - no way!!

Have a good day.

I have can quite well put petrol in, its just cold and boring!

Mr bp's old car that has just gone to car heaven had a wife detector, everytime I sat in a little red E lit up on the dashboard! (apologies for those who don't get that joke)

I tend to leave petrol (or diesel) till the last minute in my car - when it gets really close the countdown stops and all I get is a picture of a car with a petrol nozzle - i.e. the car nags me to fill it up and wont tell me how far it will go if I don't....
