Aaah gingembre he is going to keep you in suspenders!!!

Riverboat song - Ocean Colour Scene

Yes but Chris, TV centre is a pretty cool place to arrive early and have unfettered access! I was there on a 'tour' the other day and was dying to just sneak off and see the bits they don't want you to see!!!

That is so typical- I always plan on leaving early to get to Manchester, and when I do there is no traffic and I arrive far too early- even before the cafe is open! But when I am on the last minute every car seems to be on the road and it takes forever to get there and I am late!!!

Can't think of a song, so will leave it up to someone with good judgement to choose!

Nick

Chris,

Yes, it was quite wrong of me to assume it is a T-Shirt you have for Gingembre! Whatever it is, he will love it, that's for sure!

And you are right on the "Brian's Got Talent" suggestion. I have been saying for a very, very, long time on this blog - Hazel Love is sooo clever!

Have a good weekend everyone.

AF - still thinking of you.

...so the new boss is a, BLADE (ie sharp) - young blade or old blade!!?

Guten Morgan one and all


Everyone seem chirpy today. Lot's of flap jack recipes too.

After all your very kind comments re my situation I decided to rejoin face book. You see in my previous name Prof Plum I got barred for not having a real name. Anyway it Seems Face Book have also barred all my email addresses so thats it . No Facebook for me I am afraid.
I am on Wayn it seems where I can list all the countries I have visited with dates years etc. Now that would take me forever so I think I will just stick to You Tube.



Toodle oo coco

....Dutch?

Good afternoon one and good afternoon all,


I have been ex-blog absentia for a couple of days and so much has happened!!.....

gingembre...how exciting!!!

It's great there are so many posts and posters (!) these days, but it makes it a full-time job to keep up!!!

I just typed a really long post ('thank goodness you erased it', I hear you all cry)
about a recent job interview that I went to, leaving loads of time to get there etc etc, in response to Chris' blog. However, I find some of my stories lose a bit in translation from brain to blog so deleted it!!

I seem to be devoid of inspiration at the moment - but still wanted to say 'hi' : )

Gaby

ps is the summer coming back?

pps i love Hugh FS - but he already has a wife and (as the saying goes) he probably doesn't want another one : )

Gaby

Thinking I might be BPd here's my ARF

Caravans by Barbara Dickenson

Foxy Lady- Jimi H would be nice.

Following on from yesterday, more satire, like Mock the week, on the box please.

Good afternoon everyone - have a good weeken

oops....I meant to type Hugh FW (not FS).

I need more sleep

ciao

Those Were The Days of Our Lives - Queen

for my very pooly cat Spider who has been absolutely brilliant company for the last 16 years but sadly will be leaving me soon.

P.S. loulou, have you room in your suitcase for me! Love Jon BJ

Been thinking of another ARF starter, how about Let's Dance by Chris Rea? Just the thing to get me dancing around the kitchen!

Good weekend everybody!

hmmm...I did suggest this in the other blog (clearly yesterdays ;) ) so i shall do so again and give my reasosn agains (sorry for those who read it before)

ARF:
"What a beautiful day" The Levellers

Why? What is so beautiful about it?Yes, yes, yes...i know that you are stuck in a traffic jam burning fuel that costs more by the minute but.......

Well..it IS Friday, for many of us it IS PAYDAY (woot) and it IS JUNE on Sunday (almost time to start Christmas shopping)

Also it is such a cheery song and we can all sing along - even if you have never heard it before.

yay!!!


Easyjobrob (my job is easy and my name is Rob)

bagpuss, you can get the david Bowie track from itunes.

Catwoman 46 - thinking of you. I lost a wonderful puddy friend at age 16 too. Remember the good bits and the unconditional love - time will heal.

WBC.

RE...post 06. Inspectorcoco...You should change your name to Professor Plum by deedpoll and then sue FB for discrimination...bet you they settle out of court on that one ;)

I love Facebook...how else would I remember anyones birthday...yes, yes, yes, I know how a diary works...but it does not work without me inputing into it..and that is where it falls down..with FB others do it for me...bonus ;)

Easyjobrob (my job is easy and my name is Rob)

First time blogger but thought I'd come and see what it's all about. Cool!

Loving CLP back on the radio - got back from livin' in the USA for a few years and imagine my surprise. The show is a thing of beauty and Friday is my super FAVE.

ARF: Rock the boat (Hues Corp???)

For all the brilliant lady rowers in the country who are making my summer such a blast at the Thames Regattas.

I had ment to introduce myself and to say that this was my first time on a Blog ever and I would not have taken part only that it is Mr Evans blog and well what can one say!!

Any pointers ?

"Any pointers ?"

I have one of those collapsible ones ;)

EJR (sorry couldn't resist it)

forgot my ARF
How bout something guitarish

Sylvia Focus
or Where were you last night T Wilburys - you can hear all those great guys strumming away all together - must be half a dozen guitars!

Beesmum xx

oh and welcome btw ..nice to see you here..it is my first time on this blog too...everyone seems very friendly :)

Jules77 - I know that is obvious but i never thought of that! i have itunes and ipod (other music makers are available) but have never bought a track from itunes - I tend to get hold of the album cheaply and then convert it to mp4 or whatever fancy format ipod uses.

poor old spider - over the years we have lost many cats and each one leaves a hole in your heart - my parents lost their last two last year (daisy and tilly) and have not replaced them as the dog is getting on and has got very moody in her twilight years.

super bp x

ps - please something to make us dance on ARF - it is part weekend after all :-)

super bp x

Plans for the weekend - sadly I am at a bit of a loss but have had some good suggestions...I have decided that this evening will be a bottle of red vino and a rerun of "Kelly's Heroes" - looking forward to seeing the awesome performance by Donald Sutherland as a proto-hippy..and lsitening to "Burning bridges" the theme tune...then gonna go to London to get in a bit of culture at the NH Museum. Might turn out quite nice 8-)

Looking forward to ARF already!!! (and it is only 14.45)


EJR

My job is easy Rob

Frankly I could indeed take my case to the European Human rights under clause 826 of the Internet privacy laws. But what the heck I think I will survive.
It's Face books loss. They may come crawling back offering me me money but no my minds made up.

I will remain faceless.


coco

CLP - Tie your knickers down???

Why on earth would we want to do that? It' Friday and very soon our very own ARF is coming on and you're going to have us all dancing in our cars, kitchens, showers, heads..... so we can't tie our knickers down!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!

We refuse....never never never.

Hi to all new bloggers. Seem to be lots of us (i'm just 3 days old!)

And EJR what can your job be? Give us some clues and see if we can work it out!!

dreamer
xx

lol

yes you stick to your principles...where would we be without them?

heheh...it invoves universities and flying ;)

involves (as well)

OMG...Brian's Got Talent! Am in similar state to Gingembre now...speechless etc (although all knees currently present and correct) and desparately wishing I knew a Brian either with or without any kind of discernable skill...

Anyhoo, Christophe, getting anywhere early, as long as you have time to do something lovely with the earlyness(?) is lovely...I have yet to arrive at my new job early, but then it doesn't matter because they're not like that! Is very cool to go home when I'm supposed to as well...instead of waiting for the last, last, person to finish their never-ending phone call etc...

Although I think once the weather (sorry, IF the weather) perks up, I may well be leaving home a bit sooner so that I can walk in along the seafront. Bliss and a half!

I'm SOOOOO hoping to get home for the start of ARF as I still can't find my ear thingy for my phone, but if I don't make it, I'll see you for the rest!

Brian's Got Talent indeed
love

...and coco, I knew it was you! But then you knew I knew...even without a clue...or a lead pipe...

ps Very much looking forward to seeing El Zinguiber in suspenders. Oh yes.

Hmmmm....do you fly the flags??? above the universities?

ARF for Cheryl The Diva

BORN TO RUN - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Going to see Mr Springsteen at The EMirates tomorrow night, and this will get me all fired up and ready to roll ....

Thanks CLP
xxxxxx

I know, I know.....EJR.....you must be a floating technician.....there's always lots of techies floating around (some do fly in fact) uni's

dreamerxxxx

Right off to work for me for few hours. Hopefully check in later after ARF has happened....enjoy bloggers

dreamerxxx

ARF got to be something from "Oliver" what with the I'd do anything final tomorrow night......how about Consider Yourself

As for Top Tenuous....how about Lloyd-Webber.......keeping the same theme and all that ;)

only 1 3/4 to go now....that means weekend and no work for 2 days as well me thinks

Hazel your are clever. Joseph Mc Crumble too. By the way have you read his latest?


Rob Easy job. Is there a university course now on Flying remote controlled aircraft?




coco.

"Hmmmm....do you fly the flags??? above the universities?"

Nope

"I know, I know.....EJR.....you must be a floating technician.....there's always lots of techies floating around (some do fly in fact) uni's"

nope

"Rob Easy job. Is there a university course now on Flying remote controlled aircraft?"

Probably but nope :)

Another clue - I get to travel overseas...a huge amount :)

Mmmn this is like a Friday night pub quizz question.


I think if you travel abroad to different Universities, you must either have something to sell or you go to speak on subjects.

do I win a prize?



coco

That picture of "plank woman" reminded me of when my best friend and me got ASBO'd from a yoga class for giggling!!!

Hey ho!

CtD xxxxx

Not been able to see Mr McCrumble lately. Am not entirely sure who or what blogs I can get on to here...not even mine, if I could merember wot it's even called...dull at the best of times though I have to say...

I just wish I could remember the date when I guessed...can only narrow it down to some time before 2nd May...

afternoon all

welcome to yet more new bloggers, look forward to more posts from you in the near future.

OK OK, my undies are tied down, but I am excited....even more so now!

Work has been great, hadn't realised how much I'd missed it actually. Bit sad too as one of my shift is leaving, we've worked together since I started and he helped me when I was 'wet behind the ears'
I might be down Gaby's way for a fortnight soon as there is a lovely place for rehab we can goto, filled in all the forms today and await my date to go!

Have a lovely weekend

Bonnet de douche

fLIPPING hAIRIES.

ARF... Let me see.

Cheryl the Diva - I'm liking that choice. Last time I went to see Brucey. He didn't flipping sing that! Most disappointing

Whata about same song, but Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Version.

Yummy.

That or RELAX.

I'm in an 80's place right now.

DWNB

Soz for the delay..had to walk home and open a bottle of wine

"I think if you travel abroad to different Universities, you must either have something to sell or you go to speak on subjects.

"EJR, do the numbers 28 and 33 mean anything to you? If so I know where you work! And I should have been know as Easyjobkjr

KJR x"

how intriguing....well..33 does ..it is my age...not sure about 28 tho :(


Another clue...i work FOR a university ...but I don't teach :) this is fun

EJR :)

Not a t-shirt, but in the move .... could it be the infamous TFI desk with all the celeb signatures on it and if my memory serves me, a burn mark!!!! Hope you've got space for that Gingembre .....!!!

DWNB01 - what do you mean you're in an 80's place at the mo!? Have they finished?? Nobody told me!!!! Where are we NOW then? Gutted!

The rabbit is in the oven along with half a bottle of organic cider and some baby roasties. Looking forward to that!!

Anyhoooooo, have grand weekends one and all. Think of me sobbing and positively wetting myself at The Emirates 2moro night! Wonder if they'll notice if I sneak off to the Gunner's dressing room .... ? ? ?

Love and hugs, and welcome to all new bloggers: like they say at the end of week 1 in a new job - you survived the first week, but will we see you on Monday?!?!

CtD x x x x

ARF - should definitely be.....
'Power of Love' by Huey Lewis. PLEEEAAASSE! Just joined especially to suggest it and hopefully just in the nick of time...

EJR

With the University and Flying I thought it may have been a University Air Squadron, being Reading something attached to RAF Benson or Odiham, Ho humm, never mind, will ponder with lovely friends over lots of italian food this evening.

Have a great ARF and lots of fun everyone,

KJR x

Help,

I missed the start of ARF

What was the first song?

TD

I was just wondering how many people attempted the plank this morning! quite a few it would seem.

Quite fancy some flapjacks now, we used to make lots when we little but haven't had any for years.

Hope you all have a great weekend, I am actually going away to Southwold, what a surprise haven't been away for so long since we got a dog, must be over two years now, hope it doesn't rain!

Jenn x

Well Christoff

As regards your coming up new TV career I hope its either TFI or Toothbrush but would prefer DFYT cos that was brill and it had the whole country flashing their lights lol.

Re: that memoribilia it has to go to WWIIIIIIIIIILLLLL. Where is the man nowadays. You owe it to him, dont ya think???? Would love to see you two back together on TFI.

You were and still are absolutely brilliant at making us all laugh and enjoy life that little bit more. And if you could combine the drivetime and TFI.....well enough said.

Enjoy your weekend Bloggers and Sloggers

Hope you have a good one too Chris and Team

Carl in Donny

Blimey, its getting a bit crowded in here.

If you let me squeeze in, I'll only be a mo.

Very quickly then, yes, I too 'planked' this morning, went on to have a busy but generally boring day, I'm now back in Rudgwick Towers enjoying the first beer of the evening (always the one that tastes the best), before settling down to Ramsay's thingywotsit show (via S**+) and then either a couple of episodes of 24 or the movie of choice, possibly Manhattan.

There. That's tonight sorted.

Tomorrow will consist mostly of precious little, interspersed with a trip to the gym and then a swift pint at The LI, assuming that the moat has subsided.

And next week? The Foos. Oh yes.

This time next week Rodders, we'll be rocking.

Or more likely stuck in traffic around the north circular.

Have a good one.

Peace etc

MfR

My husband has got his old LPs out and has got it so loud that even my 16 year old is moaning about the noise, he must be getting excited about going away for the weekend!

Welcome River_Princess hope you have fun here!

I think ironing should be banned!!

By the way.

Bingo. Buckethead? Was he the KFC chappy who had a fleeting moment with the post-good G'n'R?

I've just received my newly purchased Stone Temple Pilots CD today. Never heard 'em, but dying to find out what I missed.

Off to rock...

MfR

Cheryl...

You are right..... I was wrong, of course I'm in an Eighties place at the moment. Because it is!

But O M G The Rabbit is in the OveN? why? I've just been out the back door feeding both of them cheddars and coconut. There was no need to put them in the oven. I love the Bunnies.

Let them out please.

DWNB

Sorry folks, been v v depressed. So not keen on blogging. I Don`t know the answer...

Inspector Coco- What? Sorry haven't been on here for a while so don't know whats going on. What happened. I haven't done anything on Facebook.

I joined the CP Bloggers FB group..hope to make some new pals who have the same odd SOH as me...see you around and have a fab weekend!!

Easy Job Rob (My name is rob and I have an easy job)

Martin - one day at a time. Do you get any support from anyone? It is so helpful to talk to people who've been through/are going through the same stuff ... please don't go through it on your own.

AF - so glad we've been able to help even just a little bit. here's to happier times.

Gingembre - you must be jumping for joy (very gently of course, watch those knees!)

CLP you have proved once again that you are lovely (not that you needed to!!)

Have lovely weekends all

T xxxxx

I don't remember any suspenders on TFI beesmum!

more tea vicar - sorry to hear you are down, care to share? x x

another days fishing great but only caught 2 tiddlers......watching gardeners world another fantastic programme from the beeb...have a lovly and peaceful weekend.

Evenin' all.

MJ, can personally testify that the folks on here are BRILLIANT at supporting those of us who need it. Share if you can....

EJR - so, to summarise, you work for a university, fly / travel a lot and you get to listen to R2 all day (from a previous blog I think). And you're clearly not a lecturer cos you've got a sense of humour... Nope, sorry, I'm at a loss!

gingembre - dying to know what you've got. You must tell us IMMEDIATELY you receive said item!!

catwoman46 - I'm so sorry. You and spider have been lucky to have each other, I'm sure, which might be comfort to you at some point, although probably not yet. See comment to MJ, we're all here if you need us.

And finally hello to everyone who's blog I haven't commented on. It's difficult to keep up!!

AF x

ps welcome to everyone who's just joined, there are more of us every day - world domination is just a matter of time!!

Ha, looks like me and my 16 year old niece are the only ones with no social life on a Friday night... And she's only in cos she's grounded *sigh*.

AF x

Have a lovely weekend my cyber-friends

Bonnet de douche

KWx

Ouch my head...must have gotten mugged last night as wallet is empty and head is sore:)

What a gorgeous day though...going to take some previous advice and head off to the south downs today.

Hey AF - I shall tell you what I do :)

I am the Senior (check that out!!!) International Officer for the University of Reading. I get to travel to some pretty far flung destinations (we don't do Europe) and meet students who want to come and study at my uni and (this is the good part) have to make them want to come to out university...how cool is that!!! To be fair there is some actual work that we have to do but it is all fun..we give talks at schools, attend exhibitions but you should see some of theplaces we get to go to...I know Hong Kong better than Reading!!! And as I am an amature photographer (here a plug my facebook group is Rob Aldridge Photography) this is even better.
The name EJR comes from uni when I always got the easiest jobs for the best pay and my mate Dougie coined the phrase and it stuck. It is my actual nickname too ...I love life it is soooooo cool

Have a good one all and see you on the blog!!!

EJR (yes it is and yes I am)

Oooh EJR, that sounds soooooo cool..And yes, a little bit easy ;-) Don't suppose you're looking for an assistant by any chance? I need a new job anyway!!

AF x

how good is that for a job roaming the earth for young drunken wannabees...it must be tough but someones got to do it.....lovley morning up here in tnorth sun shinning birds tweeting......i to feel as though iv been mugged dont know how that happened as i never left the house.....still its good to know they didnt quit empty all the contents of my pockets.....dont know what toda holds???????14 days and counting

just read on bbc news site that the specials are re joing how good is that.....YIPPPPPEEEEEE another massive concert to go to i hope.....no tour dates have been made but heres to wishing......COME ON.

Just heard the funniest news story on the 11 o' clock bulletin on Jonathan's show ... police called to a house fire (somewhere in the West Country) to find the owners having an INDOOR BBQ because of the bad weather!!

Love It!!!

MfR - where are the Foos next week? I'm dead jealous! Mr Diva wouldn't go again so soon as we've seen them a couple of times in the last 2 summers (Hyde Park and V Fest). I'd go to see The Grohl every weekend if I had my way!!!!

Tackled town early this morning and bought a new toaster. Just road-tested it with 2 slices, done to perfection! Yum!

Right, I'm going over to FB to look up EJR - cool nickname!

Born To Run, baby!!!!!
