Greetings and Salutations from Vancouver, Canada,

I just wanted to wish everyone the finest and most delicious of weekends filled with fun, frivolity and good times.

I, for my troubles, am golfing after work this evening, then having a piquant meal. Tomorrow is the first day of the flat season here in Vancouver, so it is off to the watch the nags race, then hot-footing over to the footie stadium for an evening match there and some post-match tipples.

Sunday is a day of domestic bliss, a fry up, a roast beef dinner and putting the finishing touches to my plans for my trip back to Blighty next month.

HUrrah and Huzzah for life, love, libations and looking after those who you love.

Take care everyone and a wonderfulk weekend to all.

Dr. T

tonight, I'm going to go and walk for another 10,000 Paces. 18,000 yesterday. I'm going walk my wee leggies off.

On saturday, I'm going to get up early, and walk down to the Scout hall and meet my husband who is having a sleep over tonight at Scouts!

On Sunday, my gang are all away and leaving me, and I'm simply going to be!

Enjoy One And All.
DWNB

What, pray tell, is a "piquant" meal?

aW pOO.

i don't like quo.

bad mood for the rest of the evening.

DWNB

Cheers CLP

cooking washing cleaning ironing - Oh joy! but I will have my usual couple of soaks in the bath and lots of playtime with doggie which he gets every day anyway!

B's Mum xx

BP checked out my email - serves me right for saying they hadn't!

A piquan meal is one that is appetizing, sharp and rich in flavour whilst also being interesting or even provocative...ooooh Matron.

Hi Chris,
I think the secret you were given is out, was it in the press yesterday? If that was the secret, I will know when I see them next.
Lovely pics of Enzo.You should be in there as well. I am going to L A for the w/end !! shame it is only Littlehamton.
Have a good one.

DWNB turn that frown upside down into a smile! :):):o):o)

By the way Ian computer man - clock seems to have gone haywire again but in the other direction!!!

B's Mum xx

Thank you very much, very interesting, everyday is a school day . .

Have a great BC weekend, you lucky lad . . .

Ooo we've gone all continental on the clock.

Bonjour one and all then!

Nev

Incidentally, this instant gratification blog is catastrophically devastating for my work rate (still just after 9am here in Vancouver) but incredibly satisfying when it comes to personal entertainment.

Dr.T.

I know, I'm lying on the couch overlooking the river Lagan in Belasft, with Chris blaring in the corner . .knackered after a long week, but sure . .

Are u a real doctor??

Thanks Dan, I will indeed have a fine weekend in BC.

I hold a PhD. in Philosophy so I will allow the jury to decide whether I am a "real" doctor or not...:-)

Ah, relaxing on the couch, I remember it well. That will be me after golf and dinner this evening when I am sure I will be utterly cream crackered.

Enjoy Dan...

My weekend consists of theatre trip last night, going to see Bjork tonight and Alton Towers tomorrow. Sunday is a 7hr shift at work, closely followed by 5 hours of stocktake. You wouldn't think I'd gone part time wudja!

MW, a!

My Uncle keeps begging me to go over there - apparently its gorgeous, he's over in Victoria.

Enjoy the golf, Dr.

Ello ALL,

Tinsel - Hi.. thanks to you too for your very kind words!!!!!

CLP - You are a sophisticated petrol 'ead. What new car could it be..... mmmnnn maybe a Maserati Quatro thingy??

Victoria is absolutely beautiful. Great people, fine scenery and immaculately clean streets to boot. I echo your uncle's sentiments, get over there for a visit. I go there a couple of times a year from Vancouver and the ferry trip/float plane is a reason to go in itself.

Dr. T.

I'm looking forward ter this weekends GP.

Sorry about the earlier glitch in the posting times. Our server got a bit excited at the thought of the weekend and wound its clock forward by an hour.

We've told it it has to work an extra hour tonight before it can go to the pub.

I still can't blog more than abit atta time!!! It's doin me 'ead in!!!

Damn it am outta 'ere.... ave a spiffa of a weekend all!!!!!

Well one and all


Strange things on my pc. When I use my usual Internet browser, it says the blog is closed for maintenance. So.... have to use Fire Fox. How odd, how strange. Anyway thanks for your Hols wishes Bingo and Rosie.
I will send you some virtual rock.

As the Chris Evans Show closes with the Beach Boys. I would say yes, Wind surfing is great at Sandbanks in what I call the knee length sea.


Have fun everyone.


Buenos Noches... Bring on the karaoke in Majorca.

I'll be thinking of you all having a great time while I am working hard!

Have a good one everybody!

RC

Hey inspector coco you are in my neck of the woods and I agree windsurfing and kitesurfing either side of Sandbanks is great to watch. If its knee length you are in Poole Bay.....

Enjoy the weekend I am off up to Somerset to visit mum.

Cider country rules

Phoenix

I forgot who requested Status quo for first record tonight...?

Enjoy your weekends

Bingo you have my commiserations for one line blogging - you'll have to get creative with your entries - wanna borrow my old code book??

Phoenix

It's a small world Phoenix

Was that you in Icelands today .........

anyway back to my suitcase. I am trying to cheat the airline out of charging for.. will I succeed. If so, it could open the door for a great JV show.

laghter and fun to all.....dog walking and catching up on some good tv.....then back to work on sunday...did you hear that mr.darling some of us do work weekend unlike you lazy ..... ........ ......

CLP,

Thanks for the update on Mrs Evans Snr., pleased to hear she is on the mend xx

Your weekend sounds fab, enjoy!

You almost had me gatecrashing until you reminded me I should check with Natasha first but I just couldn't get through! Oh well I will just have to stay in rainy glasgow! :o) thanks for reading my txt :o)

Dr. T - So good see you back on the blog, you sound in fine fettle! Have a great weekend.

Jim Lynn - Hello! Thanks for fixing the clock. Can I ask another wee favour please? Can you fix MfR, Cathmel and Bingo's blogging ie please let them blog?

DWNB - I'm very envious of you living so close to the sea. Although I think myself lucky because my brother is in your neck of the woods and next weekend being the bank holiday weekend I'm taking Friday off so I can spend some time with my brother and then go on down to Luce Bay and see my Sister. One day I will live by the sea! Enjoy your walking xx

Insp Coco - Have a great holiday, don't forget to send us a postcard :o)

Gaby - How are you doing? Big footy weekend for us in the SPL! Sorry MfR, am I allowed to talk footy?

Phoenix - Pops2501 requested Status Quo tonight.

CLP - I always enjoy your shows, tonight had something special going on, thank you to you and all the team for getting the weekend off to a good start xx

Sammie - Have you moved? Let us know how your doing when you get a wee mo xx

Susan S - huggles xx

Take care all
Mary xx

Good news about your ma Chris.

Like Bingo, I can only blog in bits.

MfR

So, I'll carry on. If it is a Mazzer, you know you should have come to see me.

Ahem. If I may.

Bingo. email II and ask him, 'cos I'm all out of ideas.

Love to all

MfR

PS. We're free to fly the crimson sky.

Thank god it's Friday! shame we didn't get to hear Amy Mac never mind got her on now anyway!!
Out for a meal with some really great friends this weekend will have a good laugh and it will make up for the bad week I have had, it will be much better next week I'm sure.
Have a great weekend you all xxxx

Actually, I quite like this detached blogging thing.

Mary, of course you can.

Just leave out the F word.

MfR

Okay MfR won't mention the word starting with the letter after E and before G.

Mary xx

Morning one and morning all,

Had my first cuppa outside this morning. All sorts of benefits. One of them, completely unexpected. The bright coloured polka dots on my Prima*k dressing gown scared away the big greedy pigeons, which means that the robin and blackbirds can feed with much less stress. Good.

Have a great day and may the best teams win (or, failing that, may the teams you want to win win).

Mange tout (pigeons' mantra methinks).

Gaby

ps one of the thoughts for the day: if you are short-sighted (as I am) or long-sighted (as I am also) then don't cut your fringe under any (or all) of the following circumstances:

a) without your short-sight specs on
b) without your long-sight specs on
c) having indulged in a post-prandial glass of wine
d) in the dull light in front of your living-room mirror

I failed to observe any of the four above. As a result, I am now failing to observe much of a fringe at all.

Yeeeesss!! Number one munch man in pole position. I yelled him that last millisecond - go Kimi Ice man!!! Dog jumped a mile!!!

Should be off to lie in a dark room but sun shining and nice and warm so I spose a bit of washing ought to be done!

B's Mum xxx

wo hoo! it works, it works!

Oh Yes and I will be glad to see F1 back on the beeb next year. Can't be doing with all these adverts to unpong men!

Can anyone remember the race where they cut to adverts right at the end? Who is that cartoon character who jumps up and down with steam coming out of ears? That would be me!

B'sMum xx

All alone am I - ever since etc.etc.-

all out enjoying the weather? Only here cos just put load of washing on line!!

B'sMum xx

Hi there

Such a lovely day out today but I have had such a bad one! Started with getting a letter from the eldest's school telling us that he has been missing classes. He may be kicked out of the sixth form due to truancy if it continues. This resulted in arguements between me and Mr Debbie, why?

Then bumped the back of the car into the wall when leaving the drive earlier causing a bit of damage. I was nearly sick with the worry of telling Mr Debbie but got it over with. I've subsequently been told off and informed that the car is to be sold and he will get me a bumper car instead.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings eh?

Hope that you are all having a better day x x

After much deliberation I have come to the decision that you all may mention the football again.

Yeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thank you

MfR

I really feel for you Debbie as I have crashed our car a few times and have had that horrible sick feeling before telling Mr Ferfer and my God does he get cross like he's never done anything as stupid as that himself! We got a new car on Monday and I am dreading that first scratch that will happen one day as he will not be nice about it i'm sure of that. Just driving back from the shops today with my daughter, and a car was coming towards me on the other side of the road just missed me but if he had hit me and smashed into the new car I would have been worried about telling him, unless we were both hurt of course then I hope he would care but somtimes I wonder!!!

Hi jenniferferfer

Horrible isn't it? Mr Debbie did drive into a bollard a few years ago and came home and giggled about it. The difference his, it's his money and nobody can 'tell him off'. Good luck with that first scratch and hope it's only tiny!

Well I'm steering clear of Mr Debbie tonight (pardon the pun). I've been so stressed out today, my eyes are sore and I just want to crash out (pardon the pun again!) with a glass of red wine and watch some 'put your brain in your pocket tv'
Let's see if Britain has some talent then.


Debbie x

NO>


MFR


NO FOOTBALL!

I have to listen to my husband and my Son... I come here to ESCAPE>

morning team

MfR - now this is why we all the love the game so much! Of course we can mention it today, well done to your boys, what a result - get in!

debbie - I've never really understood why people get so worked up over damage to cars (MfR, CLP look away!)
They can be repaired unlike people - I have been to far too many RTC's and seen some severe damage.
However your story reminded me of one of those embarrassing stories from the past...

...I was in the car park of a well known DIY chain and was reversing into my space when my eye was drawn to a v pretty blonde in her car accross the way.
Anyway I smiled at her, tipped her the wink (classy eh?) and then was brought back to earth as I reversed straight into the barrier behind me and came to a sudden stop! She laughed out loud (I could actually hear her), so I smiled sheepishly, shrugged my shoulders and got on with my day. Ho Hum!

3 questions today..
1. Smile sheepishly? (do sheep smile?)
2. walk gingerly (why this term used?)
3. happy as larry (who is larry, why so happy?)

Bonnet de douche

KWx

MfR - I hope I will be feeling the same after today's spl game! :o)

Mary xx

ps. Chris we did get some sunshine yesterday and guess what we have more today.....result!!

Evening each

Back from Newcastle, the Carling Academy and the ALABAMA 3. Fandabidosi, especially meeting up with all my friends. We didn't quite make up half the audience, but almost!

Had a wonderful few days and have got lots of lovely prints from my brother, the science fiction artist, for my walls.

Now, folks, how do you get rid of the brother's psycho girlfriend? Kalashnikov? Hitman? Or leave them alone to kill each other? Anyone got the definitive answer?

Anne x

Unbelievable I have been banned from the blog all weekend because I had not validated my email address - I could not validate my email address as the blog hadn't sent me the email with the link on!!!

Anyway i am finally back and blogging!!

Gingmembre- you doughnut I loved that story!!

Hope you all had a wonderful and satisfying weekend

x x x x

Hey Gingembre you smoothy you! Thanks for making me giggle, much needed. I bet the good looking blonde still tells that story too.

Another intense day today what with the letter from the school yesterday. Having a bit of a struggle here at the moment, it's like a battle zone. I went out and walked for an hour and a half last night just to get out of here. Must weight myself tomorrow see if it was worthwhile!

CtD, hope the wedding went well. At least the weather was lovely for you yesterday.

Well tomorrow is another day, bring it on!

Lots of love to you all
Debbie x x

Hi everyone

How are we all today?

The wedding on Friday went wonderfully well. They both looked gawjus, the venue was stunning, the food fantastic and the company second to none. Only down-side .... I overdid it a bit on the dance floor and have been limping since I woke up on Saturday morning!! That'll teach me ...

I've uploaded the pix if any of you want to see "THE hat" ... flickr.com/photos/hairpix2/page1/

Please, please Blog Police, don't delete it as I know some of the laydeeeez on here wanted hat pix.

Back at work today - the trouble with having time off is that it takes forever to play catch up. I might just be with it by home time at half five! I'm on my own today as well so I can sneakily have the radio on - yippeeeeeee!!!

Right, I have emails to read. Coffee ready, glasses on nose .... here we go!

Laters mon amies!

CtD x x x
(with a sorely left calf!)

PS: Just as well I'm on my own today - Mr Diva made the bestest curry ever for dinner yesterday and I think I'm a bit garlicky as a result!

PPS: Debbie - you live in a lovely part of the county! We went to a brill organic farm shop next to the hotel on Saturday morning.

Testing, testing, testing..............

Blog won't work again........

'ope everbody 'ad a nice weekend....

my weekend was very good but also very cathartic......

it's all 'appening in the Bingo life... I can't take the stress......

This blog is doing my 'ead in... I can't blog more than abit at a time.....

Hello all, had a lovely Mr P-full weekend and today, I'm having my first bare-legged work day - yup, just a skirt and wedgies; no tights or boots - yay!

Debbie - keep smilin', chuck x

Mariella - Bjork? Wowza! How was she?

Inspectorcoco - thanks, but I fear interactive rock may interactively rot my interactive gnashers.

Susan S - where are you?

Motty's SK - just start a new avant garde trend for short fringes. If people laugh at you / query your lack of fringe, just roll your eyes and smile pityingly at them for simply not knowing about it...poor peasants :)

Annie - I have had lots of experience with my sister picking bad boyfriends but I found that if I mentioned how much I didn't like them, her inner rebel (and we all have one) will want to keep hold of him for ever more. Just keep schtum and hopefully, he'll figure it out for himself.

Happy Mondays all,

Rosie x

And god knows why these stupid comments come up but not my proper comments......

Oooh CtD, have you been naughty? x

Blinky Blimey - I've been removed!

All I posted was a link to the wedding pix so you could see THE hat.

I tried. honestly, I tried.

CtD x x x

Yeah that one did but if I write anything funny or thought provoking it doesn't come up.....

maybe I am banned from the blog or the BP are trying to get rid of me.....

Am I getting paranoid... maybe but one thing I know for sure.....

I'm sad to say this new blog doesn't seem to be fully rid of glitches......

or am I the glitch????

Chow!

Oh, poor Gaby's fringe! Bless you girlie...I have a very unprofessional toe nail paint job. The fingers are ok, but the feet were done quite a way down the wine bottle...glasses or no glasses! Perhaps you can pretend you are Linda Evangelista til it grows back...BIG SYMPATHY XXX

Anyhoo, I had a fairly uneventful weekend all told. El Bajo went up Lunnen to visit friends and I got a bit of a sun tan darn the plage on Saturday...which was nice...

CtD, it's gotta be Hi Ho Silver Lining that gave you the badly leg. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

And Russell Brand was fab on Mr Ross' show on Friday eve. Never thought I'd type those words, but as the actress said to the bishop, there's a first time for everything...

indeed
love
hazel

ps After getting down down, I was wrockin' all over the world ALL the way home Friday...sometimes a traffic jam can be a good thing!

gingembre, sheep smile because they know something we don't. Larry is happy because he is a LAMB (see point re sheep) and walking gingerly is what sheep do otherwise they will fall over. This is because they are not goats. (Goats, whilst cavorting down a rocky outcrop, just tend to give a knowing wink).

Thank you Chris, did do something over the weekend! Went on a cruise up and down the Thames, had a girgeous 3 course lunch with much wine, and had a jazz band playing the whole time. It was a wonderful experience, I recommend it!

Afterwards, and full of Dutch courage, we went on the London Eye! Wonderful! This is one thing you must all try, the views over London were breathtaking!

Anyhoo, Christophe...these young boys you have working in the office...they're just in a different time zone to you...

SOOOOO glad Mrs E is on the mend. Eighty two isn't any kind of age to be poorly. Perhaps when she is fully recovered you can take her for a spin in your new mean machine. My uncle used to get to Brighton in 17 minutes on the Vincent, with Gran'ma in the sidecar...

Hope all the really rude things went well.

But that's not for here
love
hazel

ps littlest hobo, always so good to hear from you. Glad to hear you're ok...

HL - acktishually mefinx it was either them Wham! boys or the Cult and their Sanctuary wot did me leg in! Blinkin' DJ refused to play any Cure tho. But, in hindsight, that's probly a blessing!

And yes - Ole Russ was on fine form on Rossy's show. Even Mr Diva was laughing along and he's not a fan of RB either. Oh me - I was in heaven ......

I don't like being BP'd. It's like being in Naughty Corner!

CtD xxxxxx

Hello all

Debbie - cars get bumped, scratched, so what? As long as they get us from a - b and back again. I remember my ex accusing me of scratching the silver (hub cap?) thing on his car, he was so cross with me for ages - oh puuuulease, get a life!!

I hope you sort things out with eldest son. Is he having problems keeping up? Or being bullied? Or just bored?? It's such a difficult age to reason with as well. Best of luck with it.

T xxxx

Hi everyone

Debbie - if your boy is at sixth form then surely its up to him if he goes or not? If he gets kicked out then he will not get his a levels or whatever they do nowadays and have to get a full time job - end of story. I probably sound ruthless but its not your worry anymore as he is old enought to decide what he wants from life adn if a good education is not part of that you cannot force him

Also re cars - I buy my own cars and pay for any repairs myself so the only comment the fella made when I wrote one off is that he wished I hadn't crashed at all as it was very scarey as he was in the car - which is a fair point. However I had a little corsa and the jets stopped working so I tell the bloke if he will loook at it - roll forward a year and I have given the car to him as he helped me buy my new car - and he spends an hour trying to work out why the jets don't work - no interest while it was my car though!

Still he has promised to get my car ready for its MOT so thats okay.

weekend was good, back to work now but a three day weekend is on the horizon - as well as blokes birthday - any ideas for a 32 years old boy?

have a good day one and all

BP x

ps - CTD - what did you say about Russell brand to get moderated? he was good on Friday night ;-)

super_bagpuss ..... I didn't even mention the tousled one in my banned post. All I did was put a link there so you could all see the wedding hat from friday.

I've got the right hump now!

CtD, very disgruntled

Happy Monday!

Just booked a wonderful 10th anniversary holiday for Mrs MfR and I. Bloomin' expensive, I should add, but we're staying at one of the best hotels in the world!

Blog won't let me prattle on, so toodle-pip.

Enjoy the rollercoaster ride towards the bank holiday weekend!

MfR

Crikey gingembre - what is it with blokes on diy car parks - I saw one do exactly the same!! and yes I laughed out loud as well!

B's Mum xx

ctd I was really looking forward to seeing the hat come on blog police release release.

PPS my ice man won yeees

Yeh .... BP ... release the hat pix you meanies!!!!!

Hat pix

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beesmum, Ice Man? Are we going a bit Doctor Who here? The Ice Men used to terrify me in a way the Daleks never could! Or have I got totally the wrong end of the stick? Am easily confuzzled today as have only just discovered that, unless you are jolly quick, fruit shorties are no good for dunking. At all. Did like Mike from the Young Ones dressed in a version of ik3a's new kettle design. FAB!

And DIY carparks. When I was in one, oooh, a long time ago, I had a minor altercation with a chelsea tractor (small to55er on board). I was in my white car. He put his car into reverse just as I was pulling in behind him...and all he had to do was drive forwards...anyhoo, thanks to my car being of German oranges, I escaped with paint on his bumper. He got off lightly with a flea in his ear.

CtD, please try to fit hat over hump

Done it.

'Pretty Vacant' has the kind of introduction that burns itself into your head.

Therefore, when you hear it bursting forth from good ol' Radio Two, you tend to prick up your ears.
