Four Hours For Free
Had to work in between work today, don't you just hate that? Where did life go all of a sudden?
Radio Show this morning; awards hosting tonight; and writing in between - but here's the thing - I left the house without my computer so I can't write a word. And here's me now with four hours spare, and a beautiful day to have them spare in.
Immediately having realised this, one name crossed my mind - Robin Hood - but cinema wasn't built for sunny days, so I'm off to buy a book instead and I'm gonna spend the afternoon reading in the park whilst trying not to get too red.
Just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo which was a definite nine out of ten - what next? This is a big bonus Tuesday I have here now. And I'm excited.

Maybe you subconsciously forgot your computer on purpose because you need a break from writing and should be reading instead.
Don't forget to buy some sarnies and cakes and drinks, there's nothing like a picnic in the park on a sunny day!

This is hysterical. You have to try this. It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.
HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?
You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from an orthopaedic surgeon............. This will confuse your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain!
1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.
I told you so! And there's nothing you can do about it! How stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.
Right that's my exercise done for the day! I'm off!

----------------------
Have the powers that be at Radio 2 missed the boat?
I've not heard of any plans to celebrate, and reminisce the quarter-century mark for one of the most historic live music events ever held.
I've a suggestion:
From midday on the 13th July, Radio 2 should halt regular programming, and hold a ten-hour radio-a-thon to mark the occasion. You would start with the now famous 'pips' and the equally famous line "It's midday in London, 7am in Philadelphia, and to mark it's 25th anniversary, for the next 10 hours, this is Live Aid 25".
Midday to the original end time at Wembley - 10pm.
I'd get Chris Evans to anchor the day, and present the first hour. Every hour thereafter, I'd have two Radio 2 DJ's pair up for their 60 minutes, offering a broad reaction to their memories of July 13th 1985. I'd get Bob and Midge in for an interview during the day, same with Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Elton John etc and have some of the acts from 25 years ago in to talk of their memories, and maybe even have a few live versions of songs played at Wembley.
I'd ask permission from the Mercury foundation to air in it's entirety the full Queen set as it played out on the day, and I'd end it all off with all the DJ's from the day together in the studio with the big names for a rendition of 'Let It Be'.
I'd take the day off of work to listen to that. People could hold parties, bar-b-que's, accompanied by the Radio. You could have listeners text and ring in with their thoughts on the day, where they were, what the did to celebrate the concert.
Come on Radio 2, Geldof got Live Aid up and running in weeks, surely you could pull the strings and make broadcasting history - a day to remember.
I hold the intellectual property on this now, okay? ;-)
Make it happen.
------------------
What do you guys think?
I bet Chris could make this work.

How weird is that? Catching up on your missives and just reading Tobe's Live Aid idea (remember when you first talked of it last year Tobe when I was at the London blog meet) and Gary Kemp is talking about Live Aid on The ONE Show.
Great idea, and I can still remember to this day what I did on that hot summer day.
AS - wooo hoooo on the house. Fantastic news! So what with you and Seza that's bloggers on the move. And then there's me, Sus, Sam, Lin and other blogger job seekers ..... is it all coming together at last?
Talking of which, today went really well. I'm doing even more admin for the company I was interviewed by last week, and today got to see inside their office (and cupboards - how weird is that!?). Just waiting for that offer now .... I know it won't be tomorrow as the woman who interviewed me is out all day, but she said on Thursday she wants to sit down with me and show me their database so I can "get to work on it".

The whole day was about much more than just the music, and what happened on and off stage in the stadium. Some will hate the idea, some will love it, but I think it could work. If you hate the idea, fair enough, that's what living in a democracy is all about.
I'm sure there would be some red-tape to cut to get a day like that on the air, but it would be worth it (in my opinion) to celebrate a day I thoroughly enjoyed, and that my kids watch on the DVD, even to this day.
The buzz that it would create hearing the pips at midday would be enough for me, and of course, I'd have Chris kick it all off with Status Quo 'Rocking all over the world'.

What's with all the modding today - I just about understand 13 (I think Bingo mentioned the name of a golfer) but there was nothing wrong with 12 was there? As for Barney's post, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with that either - so what if he didn't enjoy Live Aid, each to their own.......

Bingo Star 'ere again....
Don't know why me earlier blogs 'ave been removed?
Nothing nasty, only fun & friendly!!!
Oh well back ter what a came on 'ere ter write about:
Bingo Star's BIG Wentworth Golf Report: It's all gone wrong!
Yes all, it's all gone inoperative, a left college early ter rush over ter get the late train from Liverpool ter London but when a got there found out it's cancelled due to vandalism.
Been told by the rail staff apparently on the outskirts of Liverpool trackside copper cables 'ave been ripped up & stolen!!!
Been told not the first time it's 'appened lately, all ter do with the recession!!!
A think it might ber scousers ripping them up due to the 'igh price of copper & weighing them in at Birkenhead metal merchants!!!
So am back 'ome & it's all gone wrong!!!
Not that am after sympathy or INDEED meaning ter bring the blog down!
There's a blessing in disguise 'ere.... me ticket iz valid on any train in the morning.... So am gonna get up early & get the fastest & flagship train of the dee from Liverpool ter London!!!
Aka the 07.00 flyer!!!
Most of the fast trains take 2 'ours eight minutes but this baby does it in 2 'ours & one minute.... believe me ter people who no nothing about trains.... that is some going!!!
Ter do the 193 miles from Liverpool ter Euston in that time.... that's errrr.... 95.7024mph average speed!!!!!!!
And a like speed!!!!
(Sorry getting boring - practising me maths).
Then it's drop me bags at me dad's & over ter Wentworth asap!!!!
The only problem, a can't take all these nights with so little sleep, 15 'our shifts at work, then at college & now up early again!!
Just 'ope me ever increasing bags under me eyes don't get mistakened by Ernie Els for newly placed bunkers on the newly remodelled Wentworth course!!!!
PS 'ope CLP & playing in Ian Poulter's group tomorrow.... would make an interesting paring, sorry pairing!!!!!
Nite!

Kands - newspaper moved closer and closer to the door with treats each time and when finally outside - huge play time and treats for several days. One accident but Biggs was a good lad within 2 weeks - really teeny bless him - even when new visitors came to see him - batted the door to go out, even though bursting with excitement.

Better not mention what bears do in the woods or the Pope's religious leanings then.

Cygnets have definitely hatched. Mum swan was on the nest and Dad was right next to her. Instead of sitting on the nest like she was while hatching the eggs, she was instead, sitting with her wings spread by her side, indicating that she is covering something much larger than eggs.
It was quite late by the time I got there.so I dont think there was much chance of them moving again and being at risk of predators.
I hope I pass that way again tomorrow. Took a couple of pics today as its the first time Mum and Dad have been together when I have had my camera.
mtd,if you are still about, best of luck for tomorrow.xx
Visited the heronry today with Mr Mobs. Now there are 83 herons nests and 6 egrets. Lots of noisy babies there making the most peculiar noises, a bit like a loud gulping sound. There was so much to-ing and fro-ing to see from these huge birds that I could have stayed there a lot longer.
I met a representative from the RSPB who was carrying out some surveys. I told him my unfortunate experience from yesterday with the agressive Swan. He was not surprised and went on to tell me that he has seen a heron eat a teal!!
Its very nice being around these waterways but there is one downfall. MIDGES!!! Millions of them!
Going back up to the lab, we followed the hare for about a hundred yards. I tuned my lights off and we drove along slowly behingd him.
Quick read back to see how everyone is, then off to bed.
