Hey Hey - Help Here Come The Good News Bears
So good news is:-
Lord Lloyd Webber steps in to save Abbey Road - Thank The Lord !
Jonny wins Sporting Challenge Number 6: but the video makes it well worth my losing.
My car has been accepted for the Mille Miglia - famous Italian historic 1000 mile race on May.
Noah is walking - sort of.
Tash is smiling - nearly all the time as a result.
We've had amazing feedback all week about the show.
But most importantly of all - Thom my cuz - injured playing rugby for Scotland last week, called yesterday from hospital to have a chat. The guy is a legend, officially now a hero.
Life is sweet - look at the good in your life. Don't delay, do it today.

At 19th Feb 2010, grumpy wrote:Been a good week all round, hasn't it? Good to hear that Thom's on the road to recovery, that LLW's bounding in to save Abbey Road (HellenBach, if you see him on Sunday, couldn't mention the Blogs & Togs thing, could you?) and that Noah is taking his first steps.
Can I humbly suggest that we make today BGND (Blog Good News Day) and each of us has to put forward something that's made us happy this week.
I'll start. This work, I ordered the Best Of Alas Smith and Jones. When it arrived, I discovered it also contained the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Made Christmas Video. An uexpected delight.
Next?
P.S> Mille Miglia sounds like fun - can we expect regular Twitter updates (thought I'd mention it now to give non-Tweeters the opportunity to sign up, if they so desire)? Wouldn't mind giving it a go myself, but I suspect my VW Golf doesn't meet the entry criteria.
Couldn't lend us a motor could you? I'll pay for my own petrol :-)

I hereby declare BGND consumed to my dustbin of ideas I really should have thought more about before sharing (I would suggest going through previous blogs to see some of my other ideas that haven't really worked, except that probably wouldn't be a good idea either).
Instead, how about a topical debate? Which is better - Jelly Tots or Dolly Mixtures?

Excellent news re Thom, to me that's better than LLW saving Abbey Road to be honest.
I mentioned at the beginning of the year about looking for a "nugget of niceness" everyday and so far, on all 49 days, I have found one.
The good in my life is that I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear, food in my cupboards, money in the bank, family and friends who love me, a job (well actually 4 jobs), I can turn on a tap and get fresh water, I have a car, a bike, fresh air to breath......shall I go on??
Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend.

At 19th Feb 2010, U11733486 wrote:Hi CLP & ALL,
Bingo Star ere....
CLP - Really good news about everything yer write above... nice positive blog & yer an inspiration to us all CLP!!!!!
A 'eard yesterdee The Abbey Road was up for only 32 million!!!!!
A thought it would be more... like a 100 million!!!!!
Suprised Macca didn't step in... but glad The Webber 'as stepped in... & whatta perfect person to!!!!
We all didn't think of 'im but being one the country's greatest ever composers.. the perfect dude ter buy it!!!!!!!!
Suppose 'e will keep it as a working studio of music... what with 'imself being a working composer of music!!!!!
Glad all good with Noah & Tash... and with yer other mini besides Noah... aka yer Miglia!!!!!!
'ow many cars yer got CLP?????
And finally great news about Thom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really lucky that 'e escaped very serious injury!!!!!!!
'ope 'e makes a FULL recovery... never know... 'e might be mad enough ter get back out on the rugby field!!!!!!
PS I'll bang on me apology now... the last of anything ter do with all me problems... end this week!!!!!!
And next week start a fresh!!!!!!
A boss at work once said something to me when a was having a really bad dee ten yearsa go & a never forget 'is advice... well it wasn't advice... just a saying & it's stayed with me ever since!!!!!!
'Another day... another dollor!!!!!!!'
I often ave thought that when ever a ave a bad day... put it away with the rest.... and move on ter the next with a fresh mind/ attitude!!!!!!
Ere's me apology I wrote out earlier.......Today I just wanted to put this apology on the blog for some of the things i've written over the past week or so, if Tiger Woods can do an apology terdee.... surely a can!!!!!!!
WHATTA COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!
Seriously though, I struggle where to start with this apology as there are so many things going through my mind... most of which I wish I could erase from my mind as it's feels the easiest way to deal with it!!!!
And all this when I have four very important maths exams in just over a week!!!
Maybe some can start to understand why I have behaved the way I have the last week... If I do get a good maths grade it will show how strong I actually am mentally what with all that's going on/ happened!!!!
I am starting to feel stronger... picking myself up all without an proffessional help or medication or without turning to alchohol/ cigarettes or whatever people seek comfort in to get them through difficult times!!!
Ok I admit, a may have ate a few EXTRA Burneo bars lately.... in fact also a lot with 'awainan pizzas with a broken egg poured over it for desert!!!! The pizza that is not the chocolate bar!!!!
I don't want to go into detail but my reason for behaving out of charcter lately is not just the things that have happened recently but it's continued problems for years... most of which I've kept to myself!!
In fact they are so many... it's too complicated to even talk to someone about!!!!
It just boggles my mind when I think back about things... most of which I blank out - it's the only way to deal with them!!!!
Just lately all these problems have started off yet again... which sort of makes something change in my mind & I feel hopelessness mixed with a deep sadness!!!
I was already very down & then when who I thought was my best friend ends their friendship with me, just at the moment when I am very much in need of a good friend most... it became too much for me & pushed me over the edge!!!
Everyone has a limit & I reached mine!!!!
My intense sadness turned to feelings of being used... to feelings of anger!!!!
That's the reason why I behaved out of character & I wrote the things I wrote on the blog.
I am sorry for all that I wrote & regret it to a certain degree... and I feel very embarrassed about letting out too much detail of my private life!!!
I wonder if I am able to come to the London blog meet now as I feel embarressed!!!
But sometimes when life is continually going wrong you start to question why you are here... why you are subjecting yourself to so much upset when life never gives you a break!!!!
I know I am luckier than most people in the world to just be born in Britain... but when you are so lonely & can't find peace of mind/ a life... you become more unhappy than most are in the world!!!
Many people living in very poor countries... although in severe poverty in many cases... can be a lot happier in their minds as they lead more simple lives, less stressful & have proper families/ close nit communities!!!!
They feel more valued!!!!
The cold, materialistic rat race that we live in here... where sadly at work you are often treated just as a number... it's all false & does not bring happiness!!!!
It's very bad for a persons morale... feeling of worth!!!
It makes real happiness difficult to find!!!!
A think that's why so many in Britain find happiness in their families... but when you have little or no family... you have very little!!!
I wrote the things I did here as so many of my friends are here... but I realise I should have done it more privately via facebook!!!
I realise Chris's blog is meant to be for fun & entertainment & I was totally out of order for abusing the blog in such a way!!!!
In five years of blogging it's the first time i've made such a mistake & I apologise!!!!
But sadly we all make mistakes in life... I hope all understand why!!!
Some might say pull yourself together... behave more like a man!!!!
Well I agree, but we are all different & the problems that life presents us with are all different. So unless you are going through exactly the same problems in life... it's difficult to understand exactly how a person feels!!!!!
I am managing to pull myself through it all & keep going so I am pulling myself together!!!
Despite all of my problems I will never change & become a person who treats others bad... I am polite, honest & hardworking.. and I behave like a stronger man than most!!!!
If anyone wants to write anything bad about me, they are more than welcome but I have a clear conscience & will go on treating people very well!!!!!!
I am proud of the person I am & the way I treat people well... I just wish I could meet a partner who for once will treat me the same!!!!
The one good thought I have about my life... is if I do make it in the end... it will be far sweeter the feeling... the sense of achievement than if I had had it all given to me on a plate!!!!
Hopefully I will be able to get back to my old self... writing the Bingo Star humour... and my real self that I was born with... making people laugh & seeing the bright side of life!!!!
Gotta go... back ter me maths revision.... 'rationalising the denominator!!!!'
Bye!
PS My mother is still in hospital. A worry as I though she'd be out in a few days but they don't know why here oxygen levels are continually low!!!!
Off to visit later... so hopefully better news!!!!

In the olden days at the pick n mix you could just pick out the one's that you wanted! Took forever, but worth it in the end!

Now then my good news is I've braced meself an' faced me hairdresser. Ergo me tatty head has bin' pruned back to within an inch of its life, although havin' bin' given the 'Big An' Bouncy' blow-dry (??) it's now full a static. BUT. This is also good news by default, as am seeing the GD later so she will be delighted by my new look somewhere between Toyah Wilcox, Renee's LED Christmas tree an' Gary Gilmour, an' she'll be able to charge 'er phone by pluggin' it in me ear.
Mind. If she laffs too much I shall be able to give 'er a right good 500-volt goosin', so it's win win. Bzzzz oops missus, bzz. Revenge is sweet.
Also good news is we've found a couple of excellent deals for our forthcoming Mummy an' Baby trip to New York in the summer, in honour of her 30th birthday. Which at this point is showin' all the signs of emulatin' my 50th, which lasted a fortnight an' covered 3 counties plus one in Ireland. Hurrah. Best get back to work soon or I'll never afford it.

Are jelly tots the same as jelly babies? Cos they make me feel a bit sick. As do dolly mixtures. I'm all for the Haribo Tangfastics myself!

Yes, you can still get all those sweeties. Check out a website called aquarterof, or goog retro sweets. Or find one of those olde fashioned sweet shops that still sell sweets in jars.
Loved fruit salads, and drumstick lollies. Even tho they tended to make me dribble ....... oh, and I bought a packet of giant Parma Violets the other day: delish!!
Not got any music on at the mo. I was listening to The Beatles on my iPod but just enjoying the sound of silence for the time being. I've also finished the ironing, and we're out for tea tonight so there's no kitchen prep to be done - just a relaxy start to the weekend.
Whatever you get up to, enjoy it!

Do you remember the Frys Chocolate cream bars which had all different fruit soft centres? Those were the days when snickers were marathons and you could buy sweet tobacco. And traffic light lollies and those sherbet two tone lollies. I better go before I have another nostalgia moment!
