morning peeps and more importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS xxx

Tiggs xxx

And a very happy birthday to you too Mr Evans, I hope you have a fab day, fun filled and frollicky.

Spring has most definitely arrived as the sheep farmer has put his sheep and lambs in the fields just next to us and they are bouncing all over the place. Pretty colourful too. The farmer was telling me about this new food he is trialling which naturally colours the wool - something to do with the oils in it which help with skin and coat condition. It is only faint, but you can see blue, green and yellow tinges throughout the flock. Weird, but nice.

MW, a!

Happy Birthday Chris.

Today would have been my Nanas 115th birthday. Wouldn't she have had some tales to tell!!

Friday, at last :)

MTF.xx

TGIF indeed MTF.

Happy birthday Christophe

I had my mothers day present early, seeing as I have only got furry babies, should I have been surprised to see a dead field mouse in my lounge? Cats were thanked, mouse put in the green bin - yuck!

Happy Birthday Chris and belated greetings for Hels Bells and Johnny too.

I've not been able to catch up yet, been on a mad dash around the country this week - Sutton Coldfield, Weston-Super-Mare, Barnstaple & Exeter. Now leaving to travel back home to Norfolk for the weekend.

Happy everythings everyone, have a good one!

are April food jokes wrong? I've just told a few of my friends I'm going to retrain as a lion tamer (well I am a bean counter), I wonder how many will fall for it?

Good Morning.

Happy Birthday Chris, have a wonderful day.

csn. xx

Happy Birthday Christoff!! x x x x

Have a fantastic day and enjoy your fortnight off - we will miss you

Mw'a, Would love to see those sheep - is it only today you can take that photo?

Baggy, well, we do have a dolphin trainer on the blog so you'd be in good company!

I have a fab idea to wind the boys up today - I'll let you know if it works.

Hooray for Friday!

Sezza xxxx

Aw, Sezza - there's no pulling the wool over your eyes eh! (see what I did...)

Took me a whole 3 mins to think that one up too.

MW, a!

Aww Chris that's a lovely post to Jonny.

Happy Birthday to you too Chris - I'm sure Natasha has a fab, fun filled day planned for you - enjoy! Will raise a wee birthday toast to you on the tele tonight xx

MWa - we have the colour sheep here too. You see them from the M8 when you are travelling between Glasgow and Edinburgh - very colourful. I love seeing all the wee lambs in the fields.

Well thank crunchie it's Friday. I was asleep by 11pm and awake at 1.05am - just couldn't get back to sleep. Today will be interesting - month end, quarter end, vat return etc etc......

MtF - Pleased you and Noggin are getting along nicely. I'm due to change my car soon - thinking of changing to a different make/model so off to test drive the first choice tonight.

Seza - pleased boy1 has recovered. Look forward to hearing your April tale later.

Have a good day folks!

Mary xx

Happy birthday Christoph and have a good two weeks off ........ we'll miss you!

Sezza - from yesterday, we're moving to a 2-bed ground floor flat with a garden, whereas we're leaving a 3-bed flat with a dining room and two loos. We'll have slightly less living space but we've got a large cellar for storage, so we're not having to squeeze everything in. We're also gaining a kitchen/diner which we haven't got at the moment, so we don't feel as if we're losing out in any way. Definitely can't wait to be able to get out into the garden.

'Im indoors was out by 5am today so I didn't see him. Now, who can I find to pinch and punch as it's the first of the month ....... any offers (or suggestions!!!!)?

jillygoat xx

Mwa, would that be the pink or blue wool? ;-)

Jilly, good luck

Hi Chris: what an absolutely lovely tribute blog to Jonny - I bet he loves it.
Happy birthday, Chris, I hope you have a wonderful day - you deserve it. The show was terrific this morning - broke my heart to leave Andrew Lloyd Webber at 8.30!

C xx

Loving the April Fool's Day on the Ken Bruce show ...... it's Rob Brydon and not Ken!!

jillygoat x

It is Rob Brydon isn't it? His voice doesn't sound quite as deep as Ken's ....

Many happy returns Chris! Nice to see you happy and healthy.
I'm not a regular poster on your blog but I would be grateful if you could play the new FEEDER single SIDE BY SIDE, because of the bands strong links to Japan all profits are going to the Japanese Red Cross Tsunami Appeal. This is 79p well spent because when the TV cameras move on to the next disaster or war the effects of the Tsunami remain...

Oh, Jillygoat, I hope it is Rob Brydon! Yet another guy I absolutely love. Will listen again, for sure!

xx

Jilly, thanks for that - I was thinking Ken sounded really poorly!

Part 1 of trick on boys started - fingers crossed it works!

xxx

Jillygoat, I think it is Rob Brydon.

csn. xx

Good Morning All and Happy Friday....
I have a statue of one of the most well known Mother's worldwide (I think I am safe to say that), holding her newborn son. The statue never changes, yet, everytime I look at her I notice something different. This time i think she was wearing a little more blusher than normal.
Love, love, love xxx and thanx for the hugs cos sometimes I do need em and without knowing it. xx
Chris E. your a star!!!!! Noah said it best. xx
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Many Happy Returns Christophe!

I am aware you are in receipt of all manner of scrummy and decorative cakeage - so these are for the bloggers ...

Morning Lovely People of the Blog,

xx HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR EVANS xx

I can't tell you how much I wanted a piece of your birthday cake this morning, it was making me dribble hearing you talk about it. Have a fab day and enjoy your two weeks off. Fortunately I shall be away for most of those two weeks, so won't miss you too much :)

I love all the banter in the morning, it always brings a smile to my face. A belated Happy Birthday to Jonny and Hells Bells xx

I am very excited that it is Friday! I've had two really bad nights sleep this week, so am longing for a lie-in, hopefully, tomorrow.

This afternoon I am masquerading as a Yummy Mummy, as I am doing the school run for my friend, picking up her two girls. Can't wait xx

Mw a!, Sezza is brighter than I am, because I fell for it!

AliB

Thank you, KatyMac for the lovely cakes.

csn. xx

KatyMac: what a sweetheart you are, thank you!

C xx

Good morning blogettes

Rob Brydon on Ken Bruce !! We have the radio on - only on a Friday here @ work. I defintely think it is Rob Brydon - how can he keep the impression going for over two hours. What a star.

Thanks also to KatyMac for the cakes - it is only polite for us to share in Chris's birthday isn't it. Hope all have a good weekend I'm off to Hoar Cross Hall this Sunday - can't wait for it. Happy Mother's Day to all other bloggers who are Mums (and all who are not come to that)

Regards PJ

AliB, how lovely of you to admit you fell for it. Made my day!

happy new year everyone (the bean counters know!)

MW, a!

Mwa, it depends which new year you mean, one starts on the 5th April but our soes indeed start today, so I should be working !

Hello all. Checking in on Work PC - home PC is dead but coming back today (hopefully). Hope everyone's OK.

Is anyone listening to Popmaster? What on EARTH is wrong with Ken?!? Has he had a wee nip or two, d'you think?!?

Love to all - hope to be back later today on working home computer!!!

Seriously. I'm worried about Ken. ;-)

Roo xxx

Ours starts today Baggy. Full compliment of holiday, which is always lovely to see.

It will be diminishing in May though.

MW, a!

Hello CE & Everyone.

***Happy Birthday Chris***

I hope you have a lovely weekend with your lovely family.

***Belated Happy Birthday Jonny***

I hope you had a lovely day with your lovely family and also have a lovely weekend.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!

MM xxx

PS All the Arians on the show! No wonder it's good!

All the best people are born in April! Lol.

It's my birthday in 26 days

Then you're a Taurean Hannah, the bull. I myself am a Cancerian, the crab, ruled by the moon hence my name LOL!

MM xxx

Hairy Aries here :)

MTF.xx

The crew at R2 must be besides themselves. How on earth Lynn is holding it together I'll never know.

Poor old 'Ken', seems to be losing the plot now.

Fab listening!

MW, a!

You rammed that in MTF :)

MM xxx

Ha ha so I did Marj.

Is the 'travelling' son returning today?

Mary, hope you have a good test drive.

Whats occurring with this weather then? It could do with brightening up for the weekend!

MTF.xx

Maddy #32: what a LOVELY post!

xx

MTF-on his way as we speak:)

Chrissie-wasn't it lovely:)

MM xxx

Happy Birthday Chris .have good day

Many happy returns Big Chief and I hope you have a spiffing evening - once you get a chance to celebrate, after clocking off the part-time job.

May the road rise to meet you and the wind be always at your back.

Happy Friday everyone . . .

DtM x

Never mind Lynne - Jeremy nearly lost it then

Hats off to the Radio 2 team - maybe keep Ken off the wine gums in future!

Sezza x x x boring virgo in case you wanted to know

Hello Sezza.

There's nothing boring about Virgo, the virgin, a good earth sign!

MM xxx

Hi Dan!

Oooh, I wish I could listen Rob!

Sezza: just checked out Virgo, and you certainly don't seem boring to me:


Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical


On the dark side....

Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative

Even your "dark side" sounds pretty ok!

C xx

(Saggitarius - and no, I am not athletic!)

#32. Marjie, lovely post.

Sezza, I'm finding the show very funny, making me LOL!

csn. xx

Aaaww Thanks Madie & Chrissie

CSN, It's just made me laugh how"straight" Ken's show has been played this morning - no hint as to what might be making Ken sound a little odd! ;-)

All over now, wonder if my boys have anything to tell me later!

Sezza xxx

Hmmm, Sezza, what have you put in their packed lunches??

MTF.xx

I've just been looking back to the blog from a year ago today and noticed that it was a 5 pager.

Wow, I thought, 2000 + entries!!

Wrong!!! The archives are split into this 'new' 100 post format too!!

I wish the phrase.. If it aint broke, dont fix it ... could be applied.

MTF.xx

Hi everyone from a wet and windy Ayrshire,

Have just been lurking recently as I didn't really have anything interesting to say, but I have been enjoying the posts (most of them anyway).

Nothing much on this weekend, apart from tonight when I am going to a friend's house for a "photo party", where you take along a photo and you can get it made into a poster etc., that's all I need, especially as they look quite expensive, never mind, I'll just blend into the background and drink wine.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Gail.

Happy Birthday Christoff.

Enjoy your 2 weeks off.

Deevs

A big HAPPY BITHDAY TO YOU Chris, squashed toms etc.

I have a bit of a ranty pants situation at the mo, so here goes: As well as messing about with the blog the powers that be have now messed about with the iplayer. What used to be a simple excercise to listen to passed shows is now a nightmare and I can't listed to Chris' show today!

Deevs chin up and I hope you can find your way out soon x

Hi everyone else and have a fab Friday.

MaW xxx

Afternoon All,

Mr Evans catches me up again...
The description of Virgos sounds about right. In summary, others just think they are perfect but we KNOW we are ;-)
Must get back to stocktaking...

For goodness sake, I can't believe I forgot to wish CLP a Very Happy Birthday, and also a belated Happy Birthday to Johnny!!

X

Gail.

Gail: an evening of drinking wine ... sounds like a plan! I may just join you in that!

Annie: this was the very day I was going to email you re: a mini-meet: but I see you are having an email "overload" - will definitely be in touch on Monday!

C xx

Afternoon all,

Happy birthday Chris! Have a great day and a good break. We won't miss you at all, no not even a little bit.........honest! LOL ;-)

And a belated Happy birthday to Johnny! I was pleased to hear this morning that he had very nice family time.

Keep smiling

Keith

Hi Chrissie how are you?

Isn't it typical that when I'm able to listen to Chris in real time, he's on holiday for the 2 weeks that I'm home - but enjoy yourself Chris, going anywhere nice?

I'm really chuffed coz I've just managed to book tickets to see the gorgeous (now married) Michael Buble in June yipeeeeeeee.

I'm now off to the vets with Indi to have her heart worm blood test - fingers crossed.

MaW xxx

Many Happy Returns Christoff!!

I'll be back when you are, this blog does my head in once it reaches 100!

Pen xx

Maw: hi to you too! Thank you, I am fine, just sort of clock-watching until 5pm! Are you back in the UK now? What an absolute "bummer" that Chris is now away for two weeks! But, if you haven't heard all his shows this week, there's always Listen Again, which will keep us all going for the next week! Hope you have a really lovely time home with your family. xx

Pen: I know what you mean about the blog while Chris is away. It will be a real labour of love, and I will try to hang in there until he gets back. Well, I say a labour of love ... probably a gin & tonic or two along the way to help matters - not during works hours, of course! xx

C xx

Hi Chrissie, sorry if I sounded a bit brusque there, no excuse really! I'm Mrs Grumpy today, and it's not my normally my style. However, am just off to watch 'Bugs Life' starring 5 year old granddaughter, she is an 'ant'! That'll cheer me up no end!

Your gin and tonic sounds just the job, :-) xx

Pen xx

An additional 'my' for luck!!

xx

Afternoon each

Happy Birthday Chris.

Won't be around for FNWC as got friend staying over, so hope you all have a good time.

xxx

Oh, and PS, son-in-law is a star. emails are sorted.

xxx

Pen: no, you were not brusque at all! Really, I do know what you mean, after 100 posts, the way it is set up now, the blog does become a wee bit difficult. Hope you have a lovely time watching your wee granddaughter as an "ant" - bless her! I bet there may be one or two tears from you!

Take care, see you soon.

C xx

Hi Annie: enjoy your evening with your friend. Will there be Merlot, later? Glad to see your emails are sorted - I will still just contact you on Monday, so I leave you in peace over the weekend!

C xx

NEW BLOG!
