Hats Off To Helmets

Chris Evans | 10:10 UK time, Thursday, 10 June 2010

Helmet - such a satisfying and solid word.

Tomorrow's show is dedicated to the helmet, the first, the millions in between and the last - whenever that day arrives.

Who will be wearing the last ever helmet and what will they be doing ?

STOP THE PRESS.

We can't do a helmet special tomorrow, we have to do world cup stuff.

Tomorrow's show is dedicated to anyone who is having a world cup party on Saturday, or an anti world cup party - either will do and tomorrow's show is entitled: It's All About To Kick Off In South Africa - For All The Right Reasons, Of Course.

I am, I have to admit, becoming unbearably excited now.

    Carried on from me #88 from the previous blog.... A will explain all >>>

    A was listening ter Jerr Vine yesterday when 'e 'ad 'is article about giving up seats on public transport!!!!!!

    It reminded me of a time when a was sittin' on a bus.... and a was getting a VERY stern look from an old bloke!!!!!
    A was feeling very uncormfortable even though the seats were comfortable!!!!!!
    In the end 'cos the old bloke kept giving me 'a look'.... a ended up giving up me seat to 'im!!!!!!!!
    'e was the driver!!!!!!!!!
    NYYAAA!!!!!
    Well a did 'pologise but ave always wondered what it would be like ter be a bus driver so a couldn't 'elp sitting in the driving seat!!!!!
    Sort of one part of me career direction am considering!!!!!!!

    Chris, you're just not trying hard enough! What about getting the chap in a township in South Africa who designs and manufactures football supporter type merchandise out of old Hard Hats on the show. Sky news (wash my mouth out) did a good piece on him last week. Very enterprising and well known in the host nation for his efforts and also bringing his neighbours into the process, thereby sharing the wealth.

    Now I know some people don't want to talk football on these pages, but the worst thing you can do is say that out loud, because that brings out the anti blog police in full rant.

    I'd just like to say a big hello to those that know!

    PS - I love Jonny and am not all that keen on Moira..am i in the minority here?!

  • Comment number 15.

    MTD - #90 on previous blog. I'm unlikely to be watching the football - my choice - but I absolutely agree with your sentiment. When I checked this morning I was still living in a free world!

    Bingo - you are welcome. Life's too short as we all know. Keep your chin up fella or you'll feel my boot - and believe me I can kick high

  • Comment number 16.

    To clarify my position

    I don't mind people discussing the world cup - I would just prefer it didnt become the No 1 topic of convesation day in day out as that would get dull for the none football lovers.

    After all I could talk about music day in day out but choose not too as what I love you might hate.

    Baggy - beginning to wish she had never opened her mouth in the first place

  • Comment number 17.

    Hello again,

    Re - my previous post regarding the football, I was just saying that I for one do not like it, however I have absolutely no problem with anyone else supporting/liking/talking about it, just to clear that up as I don't want anyone thinking I was dictating to them.

    Off to finish my cheese and ham roll, forgot to ask for salad so roll is pretty dry, never mind.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Yo Dudes.
    Not been around for a while, but i hears mention of World Cup, and am there like a shot!

    Come On Engerland.

    Think on me folks, sitting up here, surrounded by the Celtic Race as in (Keltic, not Rangers' Oppos), cheering on Engerland, all the while listening to the neighbours cheer whenever someone scores against us.

    Racism abounds, and I hate it. I love my English Husband, I love "our" National Team and am proud to have my Three Lions on my Chest!

    super_bagpuss

    If the FIFA World Cup 2010 does become the main topic of discussion on the blog, and I doubt it will as ironically nobody mentioned it before you brought the subject up, then you will merely be in the same position as the rest of us when a subject in which we have no interest dominates the posts.

  • Comment number 20.

    Ah, the great game!! Although I'm sure, as usual, this blog will go off on all sorts of tangents, I expect some discussion will go on - as Deev well knows from mentions of her beloved Arsenal though, I will have no clue what anyone's talking about. This isn't unusual for me though, so please carry on regardless hehe.

    Cold, wet and dreary Yorkshire today, and I've got a cold. Lovely baked potato and beans for lunch though, so I'm feeling a tad brighter :-)

    Hel, gi's a look hehe!

    Hi Chris: hope you enjoy all the footie! Yes, you do sound rather excited!


    JG: sorry to hear about Finlay, wee soul. x

    Rosie: you must be so excited about your new place - how lovely for you.

    DD: sounds like you are going through the wars, hope things will be better soon.

    Scoobs: lovely to hear that your gorgeous man will be home soon. Enjoy your "hug"! Years ago, MrS worked away from home all week. We would be on the phone for hours every evening, counting the minutes until he would be home. Friday evenings, he would arrive, and the first thing we did ... was have an argument! Crazy!

    PiP: love your list!

    For the record, I really do enjoy football. We are both looking forward to the World Cup, and of course we are both hoping England do well. I really mean that! We have a friend (a Glaswegian) who, shall we say, likes a flutter. Horses, football, whatever - he very seldom loses, he's just a lucky guy. He tells me that England will definitely win the tournament ... so I would get a fiver on it, pronto!

    Hope everyone is ok.

    Hello

    Life is to short to worry about who likes or dislikes football!

  • Comment number 23.

    'lo everybody (she says creeping in quietly having declared her footie "preference" already)

    Am aiming at oil on troubled waters here not added to the fire so bear with me

    I AM sure that us bloggers are, for the most part, a reasonable lot and will take our usual meandering route through life and the blog, touching on a variety of toipcs as we do most of the time.

    It is very rare that the blog become obsessed on one topic and I'm also sure that there will be footie fans who are recording matches so might not want results declared anyway

    There IS room here for everyone!

    In that vein................

    JG, No bless, you wouldn't like the Eye would you? I've wanted to go on since it was put up and cannot believe this is my first time. Maybe some pink fizz is in order to commemorate it. Not sure that will be the most popular drink at Bon Jovi!

    And Scoobs, who knew? Your S-i-L in AC/DC? Result!! ;-)

    Oh JG, Just remembered what I meant to say to you thinking about poor Finley, for whom I have a soft spot as he is my namesake in a way!

    My friends gave up sending their pooch to the kennals and started using a service where the dog went to stay at someones house instead. Registered people who are all checked out. Not sure if you have something similar in your area but they were much happier with that

  • Comment number 29.

    Seza: I just love London - hope you have a wonderful time. Don't think I could go on the Eye either!

    CSN: I really hope that what I am about to say doesn't sound daft. I was thinking about Harriet's mum this morning: (I am reading a book and one of the characters is called Harriet!) and I know she is in real pain with her back. Do you think she would try acupuncture? It may help and give her some pain relief. I have a recurring back problem, and it really is a godsend to me. I hope I am not speaking out of turn, because I know your daughter's problem is in connection with the epidural. Just thought I would mention this!

    Baggy - the chat in Drivetime blog often revolves around music - some days more than others admittedly - but I don't arf learn a lot in there. AND it's mostly blokes - not that the gender of the poster should be relevant ... lol

    What position do you play?

    We could really do with someone in the midfield holding role, but with the freedom to roam forward to support the lone striker as required.

    Hi everyone Hope Thursday is going well for you all!

    CLP I can't believe that you're coming to Cornwall the week that I'm going to be away in Wales!!!!!!!!!!!! When you first mentioned it I got really excited and so did the kids thinking that we could come along and now we're all disappointed :-( My oldest said she doesn't want to go away now!

  • Comment number 42.

    MC: I like it! Hiya, how are you doing?

    xx

  • Comment number 43.

    Chrissie,
    That might be a good idea. Her GP wants her to see a consultant first to decide what treatment would be best. He thinks it's nerve damage caused by the epidural, if he is right it will take a long time to heal. Must say she's never had any back trouble before this.

    lol, csn. xx

    Isn't the best known thing about ectoplasm is that you should allow the beams to cross?

    When exactly did CLP say they were doing the show from the field in Cornwall [next to Richard & Judy's gaff?]

    Hiya Chrissie,

    Good to see you too ! Its a bit dull here , and i am hoping it dosent rain as i left my washing out this morning.

    KatyMac he said the last Friday in August before the bank holiday weekend which is the 27th, I take the kids to Wales on the 26th! It's so rare that anything happens down here, normally the closest people come to Cornwall is Exeter :-(

    Af, hope you feeling a bit brighter hon... the tatie and beans sounds lovely..just missing a bit of cheese! x

    Gail..may i suggest tomato sauce as a remedy to your dry sandwich issue..although its probably been eaten by now!

    Seza..hee hee, if the S-i-l was in AC/DC she wouldnt be the GM`s S-i-l, she`d be his wife i`m sure! His favouritist band in the world...ever! Enjoy the eye too..loved it!

    Chrissie..hi lovely. Bless you and MrS! We dont do long phone conversations so have only spoken sporadically over the last few days but have kept in touch by text. It was the 3yr anniversary of our first date yesterday and he was away for that so was a tad miffed but cant be helped..and i went out for dinner with a friend instead!

    DWNB..i echo AF..gis a look!

    MC - hows you?and agree..the sit down and relax hour is always the quickest.. esp if you combine it with a trip to M&S (other supermar..etc..etc..) this lunchtime. Why do old people only shop between 12 and 2?! There should be a law against it!

  • Comment number 52.

    CSN: yes, of course, her GP will want to see what treatment will be best. And as a rule, they don't usually agree with acupuncture - even though it can be fantastic! I really hope she will get her hospital appointment soon.

    mSc I thought about that but I'm meeting a friend on the Thursday and we're staying in a cheap hotel chain which has already been paid for and if we don't check in on the 1st night they cancel the whole booking, I just can't believe it I'm going away for 5 days in the whole summer and that's when CLP's coming!

    Blimey!

    I wasn't even here and felt like I was being told off ......

    Sorry Baggles my old friend, but love it or hate it, the World Cup is inevitably going to get discussed on this ere blog - just look at the content of CLP's musings today. If Our Man CLP is excited, then you can bet your lat Rolo that the next 4 weeks or so will be football all the way.

    And I for one am chuffed to Billyo as it's in my blood, y'see.

    The only thing I can suggest (and please feel free to tell me to "do one") is that if it gets a bit footbally on here for your palette, then simply change the subject to something else.

    Simples!

    Now, I'm not sure where this morning went but I am now doing p/t job #2 on Reception, so big smiles, wipe the crisp crumbs away and off we go .....

    Yes it would, but much to my shame I have a bit of a problem with Prog Rock related puns.

    The Genesis of the whole thing was that one day I was in a queue at the post office when a massive bloke started pushing and shoving, so I said "Hey that's not Nice, be Gentle Giant"

    As he turned towards me I thought "I'm going to need some ELP here", but thankfully he smiled and said "Sorry, I'm in a Rush. My Caravan is outside parked on double yellow lines and I need to collect my new Van Def Graaf Generator".

    "Be careful you don't drop it on your foot" I said.

    "It's OK" he said "It's really a Soft Machine".

    Rosie - contrats on your new home, have you actually 'moved' in now? Well done on the furniture assembling too - way beyound me!
    Deevs - so very pleased for you on the job front - all has slotted into place nicely for you!
    Scoobs - enjoy your hug - can't have too many of them!
    Chrissie - an argument - funny! Wondered what you were actually going to say for a moment ;)
    Seza - an evening with Jon Bon Jovi, lucky you:) London Eye is fab - could see for miles and great to see London from a different perspective.
    Baggy - football, you've started something now :)

    Hi to others, as usual I am sure I have missed some out!

    Can I just butt in to say that I am a Mayoblogpoppet and I can't stand Jethro Tull! And we don't only talk about music, although the original purpose of the blog was to choose songs for the show on a given theme. But over the months since it's been going we've grown into a warm, friendly community - much like this one actually, if a bit smaller. Any one is welcome to join us, no matter your age or musical preference.

    Also, I'm older than Deevs....

  • Comment number 70.

    Well said Deebee. I don't like Jethro Tull either but I do like the friendly company on the Mayo blog in the same way as I do on this one. It is also a bonus if we get one of our song requests played on Drivetime- and we all have quite eclectic tastes in music.

    Also, I'm only a little bit older than Deevs...;...just a smidge!

    Afternoon all

    Thanks for all the enquiries about Finlay, I spoke to Mr JG at lunchtime and he's a lot brighter today. Mr JG thinks he is "trying it on" a little now with constant demands for cuddles and attention!

    Apparently he sat on Mr JG's foot while he was sitting in the garden and refused to budge! Luckily Mr JG was kind enough not to try a drop kick!!

    Busy here today, so will have to catch up properly later.

    I did indeed mean ectoplasm :-D
    Well i'm of the thinking that due to the changing climate of the sun on the atmosphere of jupiter in the next 20billion years we could all be heading for a cataclysmic black hole the likes of which hasn't been seen since Barry White last eat a cream cake.

    MCM - aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!What are they playing at! Agree with SJF - go and camp out at their offices! Hope the Rainbows & Brownies kept you out of mischief!

    Scoobs - they are the best (((())))). Move - all systems go our end, mortgage done, solicitor appointed now just got to sit and wait and I'm not very good at that :(

    Sorry cake all scoffed but I'll gladly partake of another cuppa!

    Talking of moves how are things going with yours Seza?

    I'm very new; been lurking a while trying to figure out postings and personalities. Huge fan of Clp, have been for yonks. This seems a friendly place, can someone give me a ruff guide to anything I really should know..

    Hi Dolly, can't really help I don't think as have not been doing this blogging larkey too long myself. All I can say is they are a friendly, funny and warm bunch of people and I'm sure you will get the hang of it.

    Steve: right, discussion commences tomorrow!

    AS: yes, I was being a little risque - something that doesn't happen too often on this blog ... !

    AS/Scoobs: hugs are the best. MrS gave me such a lovely hug this morning before I got out of the car. Means more than rubies, really. xx

    Dolly: welcome! You will love it here. If I had to give you a rough guide, I would be here until 2020! Suffice to say, stick around. Try to attend FNWC tommorrow (Friday Night Wine Club) - that will tell you all you need to know!

    Hope everyone has a nice evening. I am going home to collapse in a heap, in front of Father & Son at 9pm. No idea why we started watching it, but we are too far in now to give up!

    Welcome Dolly

    I think we all start as lurkers then dipped our toes in (hence my name) then before long we become fully fledged bloggers (the ffb bit of my sign off). You'll soon get the hang of it, but don't be afraid to ask we really don't bite....

    Hiya

    And Well, Hello Dolly, Well Hello Dolly, it's so nice to see you here where you belong!

    Sorry, couldn't resist

    AS, sale is going on - slowly. As far as I know, everything that should be happening is and we keep getting things to check and sign and pass on. Like you, patience is becoming my problem!

    Hiya Debs,

    Anyone watching TV? All i can say is poor John Grisham!

    Seza xx

  • Comment number 96.

    Why?? He is touting his book on British TV - he should be prepared.

    MTD, for football playing goldfish? I don't think anyone is really prepared for that!

    Mind you, he did get to go in the camper van with CLP so maybe not all bad!

    'lo,

    Just a quick one to say thank you to all of you lovely people who sent me hugs and support when I said I was having a bit of a **** (insert word of choice) time the other day.

    I still am but there are glimmers of light, and lots of things in my life are good, so I am lucky really. Can't get on fb at the moz because we've had to disable it, a "sanction" for a certain teenager.

    Anyhoo, football shmootball, but I've said that before. I'm not going to battle against it though. I even know that England are playing on Saturday! Haway the lads!

    You Mayo bloggers seem a jolly bunch I must say. And Willy, you're on good form.

    My main comment after a quick lurk is:

    DWNB - is that TRUE?????? I mean about the tattoo?

    Now then: Gail - guilty, or not guilty? We'll soon know!

    Hi folks, Finlay seems ok, not his 100% sparkly self though, and there are few remains in the garden that tell me he's been eating a lot of grass!!

    Have found a couple of kennels for Mr JG to call tomorrow! And we will inspect them first...although we did with the last lot!

    So DWNB, where's that tattoo then?

    Hi Dolly and welcome :)

    Hiya... just like CLP - I can't wait for the World Cup to start! It's going to be really exciting! Keeping quiet on my prediction for the winner though...

    But... Eng-er-land! Eng-er-land! Especially looking forward to the prospect of seeing Stevie G's gorgeous legs regularly and hopefully for a few weeks to come! Sorry to all football phobics - but...

    20 years ago, who'd have thought South Africa would be hosting this fantastic event? It's brilliant that they are.

    The world has moved on for the better in some ways... however, my youngest gave me an odd example of how things have changed... I found him answering the door to a "take away" dinner... not funded by me or him! But his recent ex girlfriend living in Australia!!!! What's that all about?

    Hope all are well, night night and much love from me
