Christophe Lambie Pie, just to let you know that you are a Fridays Child.

Loving and giving,

I think we can safely say he works bloody hard for a living tho MTF!

Chris, I was so looking forward to this interview, I decided to not go to gym first thing and instead, I sat in my car to hear it so I wouldn't get interrupted. It was great. It was so interesting, for those who missed it, i'd recommend trying to catch it on the podcast. It must have been quite weird being there after everything that happened.

Have a great day one and all

Beany x

Just in case anyone missed the end of the last blog...

We were discussing, finding what day of the year you were born on and throwing it into a search engine to see who could come up with the best claim to fame on the day they were born.

Please carry on, has been interesting so far.

MTF.xx

Morning All,

I did it again and posted this on yesterday's blog!!

Loved the shed chat last night!
On the day I was born President Johnson signed an executive order abolishing the draft exemption for childless married men between the ages of 19 and 26 apparently - riveting stuff!! And Sonny and Cher were No. 1 with I Got You Babe, which obviously my mother was singing at the time!

Nic

Chris,

Happy Wednesday!
It's true, you should never go back. Tried that with a job and an ex girlfriend - both ended unhappily (I think that's spelt wrong?!). It's never the same again.

Nic

Well done on being number 2 Chris, that's not bad going for a first timer!

I am a Friday's Child myself, but it would appear the only event on the day of my birth was an American event - The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act signed into law by U.S. President Lyndon Johnson. Couldn't find anything else!

Am back on here now, couldn't get on for a few days but found my way eventually. My middle man has had the dreaded flu but is back at school now. Fingers crossed for the rest of us as we're away next week in Wales for a family gathering and I don't think passing flu around is on the agenda!!!

Think I posted this on a couple of years ago but just found it again and it made me laugh (hope it gets past the Mods, I have taken out a couple of the more risque ones!):

Economic Models explained with cows

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away...

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on
the income.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the
other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to
analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the
release. The public buys your bull.

THE ANDERSEN MODEL: You have two cows. You shred them.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads,because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are
one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.
You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they
are. You decide to have lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You
charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them
that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are
part of a Democracy....

AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

Big Chief CLP

Good on ye, big boy . . .

All up with the lark over here as well - sun is shining over the Lagan and all is right with the world . .

Right - big apology here -

INWYT arrived in the Boyle houshold on Oct 1 yet only this week I've actually got around to reading it properly . . .what with a Cookery for Men class, gym, weddings and general hoo-ha to be dealt with (usually involving LovesYoungDream), me-time has been a precious commodity of late . .

But I have to say, its a very refreshing read so far . . honest and humble in the extreme (havent got to the later years, yet . . . )

Have a great hump-day y'all . . .

Chris,

Great blog today. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at your meeting this morning!

Cheryl is right - your zest for life is so infectious. In fact, you have given me a bit of a shake, and I just might tackle "those jobs" that I have been avoiding!

And with regard to the book: you are welcome!

MTF: had a wee look on the JLL thingy. He was 21, but he married his 13 year old cousin .... not good!

Daisy: brilliant post! Found myself totally identifying with the Russian Corporation!

C xx

Morning All - my turn for the sunshine today thank you. I had the security lights flashing on and off all day yesterday in the murk!!

Didn't realise you had got to number 2 already CLP - well done you !!! Must try and listen again somewhere to your chat. Anyone help me with a link?

That was brilliant Daisy :)

Late start so had better get a wiggle on - will look up my birthday later but I know I was born on a Monday at 9 in the morning and 12th Street Rag was playing on the radio !!!Strange the stuff your mothers tell you! Is that the hard for a living one?

Get rid of the coff Deevs but keep the sexy voice - make a fortune!!!!!

Beezer xx

Beez: Monday's child is fair of face - 100% true, as Bingo would say!

x

Beez - it's not available yet, but i'll post it up when it is - there are a couple of photos here though



Beany x

Chrissie - hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Many moons ago perhaps :)

Thanks Beany.You found those friends on fb yet???

Beezer xx

Beez: no way! How about that terrific photograph of you and the gorgeous Chris Evans?! No wonder Rips calls you "poppet"!

xx

No Beez, I haven't!

I'm rubbish aren't I?

Beany x

Just how mucky can one person get by changing a black toner cartridge? Bloomin' good job I'm wearing black from head to toe is all I can say!

x x x x

You are too kind Chrissie !!!(buy you a couple of drinks in Pool !!!)

Beany - Yes !!!somewhere there should be a load of friend suggestions I sent you !!

Mucky cat Deev !!!!

Just eaten a shortbread finger and looked to see if it was made in Scotland - sure was but the bad news is one finger 425 calories - Good Grief ! Now should I put the rest of the bikkies on the bird table???

Beez xx

Beez....shortbread way to good for th birds, just enjoy!!

Ranty Pants alert.....

I'm being held captive today, and possibly tomorrow.....waiting for the boy's b'day pressies to turn up.....should have been here on Monday!

Have just phoned them and got the old 'there wasn't anyone in' line for yesterday......I was here, and as I pointed out they didn't leave a card if they did call.

Now I've done call centre stuff, so I know the lines to use (I didn't last long, I was telling people the real reason!)......but surely if it wasn't on the van, or they ran out of time it makes more sense to say that?? why can't they just tell the truth?

Sorry.....one of my biggest pet hates!

ebx

p.s. the boy is talking in his sleep......it's soooooo cute!

Me again!

MTF - you are a STAR of massive STAR proportions! The postieman has just been - thank you sooooooooooooo much! I love it! It holds 3 and as for the improvised bubble wrap .... hurrah hurrah hurrah!!

Trust me when I say it will be used from tonight onwards - cooking mucky dinner of Beezy ribs!

Much love

Deevs
x x x

Daisy you missed out the latest addition to the cow analogy - The banker state - you have 2 cows you fatten them up you mortgage the milk production. They make you very rich. They die and you get the rest of the country to keep you in the manner to which you have become accustomed.

Afternoon All,

Congratulations on the book Chris, very well deserved!

I'm a Thursday child - no exciting news on my birth date.

Have been poorly the last couple of days but feeling better today. Hope all the poorly bloggers are feeling better too xx

Beez - Shortbread isn't for the faint hearted :o)

Mary xx
ps. Agree about George Lamb ;o)xx

Dissing!! How ya diddlin' dude?!?

Afternoon y'all,

Beez, shortbread , ooh my fave , just love it :-)

MwK /Deev hope you are both on the mend.

Just googled my birthday
Tom Jones was number 1 in the UK , with It's not unusual
Beatles were no 1 in the USA , with 8 days a week.

Oscar for the best picture was the Sound of Music .

Apparently , being a Tuesdays child , i am full of grace .

I have been on planet earth for exactly 16,290 days , phew !

MC xxx

Loving your work, Lord Dissing of Dissingshire! Fab!!!

Daisy x

posted on yesterday's blog, might have got missed!

morning everybody peeps
Glad you're feeling a little better Deevs, sorry bart the coff though, horrid ain't they?!
SbP sounds like she's in a better frame of mind this morning after brekkie assignation with Rips, nice one chaps!
My birthdate, I'm a Wednesday's child unfortunately but I have the exact same birthday as Boris The Becker, also, I was born on the 4th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination (what's with me and the 'ass' words this morning?
laters
Tiggs xxx

So, imagine Alan Carr, add a bit of Graham Norton and a soupcon (with a soft c) of Julian Clary. All crossed with Rowan Atkinson's shop assistant in Love Actually .....

That just about sums up the delightful fella that sold me a new hair-dryer at lunchtime.

Camper than a row of tents at a Scouts convention. I thought he was auditioning for one of the Ugly Sisters in the local AmDram panto! It was all I could do not to yell "He's behind you" in the middle of the shop!

Made my day that has!!

Deevs
x x x

Phewww, just pulled me head out of the oven, did I miss anything??

Yes, its that gruelling task of oven cleaning again and the 50 quid I have saved yet again, will go towards a weeks hire of a deckchair on the promenade at Aberystwyth.

So if you see someone in a bright yellow sou'Wester and macintosh,sitting in said deckchair, I will understand if you cross over and speed up slightly!!

Glad you can use enclosed from postie Deevs, did it arrive in tact??

Bit of a dab hand with the sellotape, so hopefully yes.

Next job, before I go to work, kitchen floor, life is just one domestic thrill after another.

MTF.xxx

MTF

All in one piece. Unlike the one I managed to smash to smithereens at the weekend! Thank you again x x x

Oven cleaners: Mr Deevs has actually AGREED that I can get someone in to professionally clean our oven!! Hurrah!!!!!

And just had a spending spree on his credit card for niece and nephews birthday prezzies - one day apart in November - ugh! You know you're getting old when their birthday/christmas wish list means absolutely nothing to you!

Deevs
x x x

OK, here's one for you .....

I've just taken 2 decongestion tabs to see me through the afternoon and I noticed that on the packet there is Braille. Now, provided said blind person picks the packet up the right way round, they will know that it's a cold remedy they are taking. BUT..... what if they read the box upside down?? All those little bumps of Braille could give that person an altogether different set of instructions as to what to do with the enclosed pharmaceuticals!

Hmmmmm.

Deevs
x x x x

Crumbs MC - where on earth did you look to find out all that info??????
Haven't had chance to look yet. Did they have newspapers when I was born or were they still using stone tablets?

Beezer xx

Deev - not quite as scary as a notice I read from an insurer - "This wording is available in large print and braille" it was for motor insurance !!!!!

Beez xx

Hope that you are keeping " Thought for the day " on the brekkie show .
Diverse thoughts from interesting people . It's a winner .

Howya chaps from Terra Firma once again.

Ah Christoff yous will always be N0.1 on MY bestsellers' list yous awful eejit. And hear hear Deev, I was thinking the exact same thing as your opening comment as I read today's blog. I well remember that our CLP used to get a load of flak for 'gloating' about his success. Which rather betrayed the ignorance of those who bandied this around; on the contrary, CLp has never forgotten his roots or the contribution to his privileged lifestyle by those around him. Even at the height of his bonkersness, his attitude, to me, was always the 'Chase your dreams' one that I always try to insipre in the GD and others. There are few things more carcinogenic to the spirit than the 'Don't get ideas above your station' attitude.

So these days and at my greatly advanced stage in life, the said GD now quotes this back to me and lifts me up with inspiration and encouragement. Hey, I swear she thinks there's NOTHING I can't do, bless her; and so now I find myself plunging in where my previous angels have feared to tread, and moving beyond most of those people who have pulled me back. You have to do this. Ergo I now have much more self-belief than I ever had, but a lifetime of conditioning is hard to overcome. It's a shame it's taken me this long to think I'm capable of anything other than being the family eejit.

But I bet I'll still mess up the Twitter. Even though the GD and the ex-hubby say it's the perfect vehicle for me; me bein' bang in between a Twit and a Nutter.

Ok. Mountain a washin' to do, by the crin where's me crampons.

Clodagh.xx

Has anyone noticed today's missive from Chris reads "Robbie, Christian and My Real Life My Name is Earl Moment" .........

There is no mention of Robbie though???

Assuming there was to be some musings regarding Mr Robbie Williams, can I say I started to watch it on the red button this morning and was nearly late on the school work run, will be watching again tonight me thinks!

Daisy x

Oh by the way, Rips...

Do a Listen Again to the latter part of the Gerry Ryan Show yesterday, Tuesday. Hilarious.

C.xx

DDD - I CloudPLussed The Robster too -can't wait to relax with a glass of something chilled and enjoy it.

I got in the car yesterday to Layla by Eric Clapton - I sat at the traffic lights outside the uni with it on really loud playing air guitar - no wonder my car stereo was on the blip this morning!

Layla followed by RHCP I was in my element! Similar mix tonight please!

OH and PPS.

Christoff am deLIGHTed you and the Togmeister are doin' the Millionaire, hurrah hurrah!!

If yous need a Phone A Friend for miscellaneous borin' sh**e that nobody would ever want to know or would find useful at all, ever, I'm your woman. This aul brain has the most spectacular capacity for encyclopaedic detritis ever known to man or woman.

Don't phone if it's anythin' important, interestin' or useful though. Useless.

Clodagh.xx

Howdy Chezza, yee-ha!! Get them cowboy boots on, babe.

Ey wait while yous see the red shiny killer heels I've brought back from Coowntie Caark.. yous'll be in a MAD jealous RAGE. Damian certainly was; despite his best efforts with the shoehorn and half a bar a Wrights' Coal Tar, he couldn't stuff 'is size 11s in 'em.

Maybe I'll try and put 'em on Faceache along with some other pics now I've had a word wit meself.

Clodagh.xx

Yup, mad jealous already Clodagh - or maybe just mad ...... ?!?

I need to buy some new boots for the winter - practical killer heels, knee high and black methinx!

Greetings CLP & ALL Bloggie Dudes....

Bingo Star ere......

Lots ter say terdee.....

CLP - Most nice yer going back ter yer rooots.... only question if yer following in the foootsteps of Earl off My Name Is Earl, do yer play drums for The Killers????????

Bingo Travel News - A forgoot ter mention a 'ad a most interesting weekend.... a ended up Sundee night at 10.30pm..... standing in a pitch black country lane in the middle of nowhere talking ter a fully grown cow..... 100% TRUE!!!!!!!!!
Yes az usual it waz all 'appening in the life of Bingo Star!!!!!
A waz driving down a country lane, in rural cheshire, on me way 'ome from work when suddenly a found an escaped cow standing in the middle of the road!!!!!
So a pulled over.... banged me 'azard lights on and goot out ter try and ge tit back inter the adjacent field before it goot 'it by a car!!!!!
Ave noot dealt much with cows before.... well noot the four legged variety.... so a goot out and started trying ter usher it down the road..... all at the same time being watched by about a 'erd of 50 standing in the field all mooing loudly!!!!!!
She just stoood there and loooked at me.... with a blank loook.... reminded me of going inter the 'otel for a job the other week (see joke yesterdee)!!!!
Any way.... a made a connection... and she started ter move.... be it very slowly!!!!!
The only problem a didn't now, know, 'ow the 'eck a waz gonna get 'er inter the field without opening the gate and all the other escaping!!!!!
Luckily the farmer, on 'earing all the mooing late at night, arrived and took over the 'erding operation of the single cow!!!!!!!

Ave goot anoother story involving an animal from the week before too but it's too embarressing ter tell.... so am keeping stum!!!!!
All i'll say..... it's all 'appening dee and neet down those quiet country lanes!!!!!

X-FACTOR - My goodneeess.... a saw the Chezza Cole and whatta performance!!!!! A don't now, know, why the press ave been aving a go at 'er!!!!
They always build em up ter knock em down!!!!
It's obvious The Cole can sing az she goot through the comp a few years a go ter get inter Girls Aloud!!!!!
Give 'er a break.... and a ain't talkin' KitKats!!!!
'er new song iz very difficult ter sing live az it's so 'ighly produced in the studio... all those sound effects and a song continually going from 'igh ter low vocals... a good tune!!!!!
It's grown on me BIG style!!!!
And az for 'er costume.... my gooodneeessss!!!!!
It waz like a cross between a Russian Cossak and Freddie Star with a 'int of The Guerillas bassist thrown in!!!!!!!

Finally - Ave finally joined the FB and banged a few photos on!!!!
Thought a better after getting 'assled ter by the blogger who's name am noot allowed ter mention.... of which a agree with 'er.... am well overdue ter join in in all the FB fun!!!!!
And thought a better before the Liverpool meet so fellow bloggers will be able ter recognise me!!!!!

Chow from Antony Keith Andrews!!!!!!!!!! Aka Bingo Star!!!!!!!!!!!

#44 - Double #22..... That makes me.......... 'appy and less insecure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erm - Bingo ----- Your pic has been on this 'ere blog - remember?

Beezer xx

Hurrah Deev; and there's plenty out there wit your name on 'em, hun.

I'm thinkin' OVER the knee for yourself? If ever there was an over-the-knee top bird it's the Rock Deevster. If yous feel a bit Danny La Rue, try some of the flatter heel ones, even I can get away with them. It's a bit like the rule of cleavage out, pins covered; and vice-versa.

Incidentally, did anyone see Jo Brand on Graham Norton the other night? Had me in a right aul dilemma at first, since I have a huge girl-crush on Jo and also love Jackie Collins. Never read any of her books, like; not really my scene, but love the woman; but I staunchly refuse to watch anything with the ex-missus Andre, such is my disdain. So I watched it with me left eye shut but I have to say I felt KP seemed, just for once, a little intimidated by two REAL top birds.

And I have to say. The last time I saw a sight like that was when me tube a black oil-paint burst in me satchel and went all over me jelly babies.

Oh dear, that's me never goin' to Heaven. Forgive me for I am a dorty sinner with bad thoughts.

Clodagh.xx

Funny you should mention girl crushes CLodagh, and Bingo, you talk of Chezza Cole.

She's bloomin' GAWJUS!!!!

Phwoar indeed!

Hi

Can I have some information please? Mr bp has gone back to Uni to do a Msc part time becuase hes a clever so and so - but its been so long since we both left education that I don't rememeber what we are entitled to benefit/ freebie wise?

Anyone out there know as if we can claim for something we might as well - all i can remember is that with a NUS card we get free burgers at maccy d's (other cardboard is availble) and 10% clothes shops

AW Christophe, it's FAB when you can lay old ghosts to rest and it'll only ever hold good memories for you now you've extinguished the bad stuff by going back. I'm a big believer in never letting stuff leave a bad taste in the mouth and I'm really pleased you've managed to re-visit your old stomping ground.

Mad crazy at work so nowt else to say really except love to you all. xxx

Deev. Ah yes maybe. But not a patch on the Deevster in them killer heels, babe.

Clodagh.xx

Lovin' your work Clodagh!!

Hi All

Anyone else got washed away today? V wet darn essex today

Deevs, not sure your hair dresser man can be camper than Camp Kevin, the assistant in the shoe shop every good mother takes her child to for school shoes! have spent so much time & money in there over the last 13 (eek) years that I now count him as my GBF (until Gok comes to claim me)

Iwas nearly late watching Robbie on red button too! Will watch again later

Seza xxx

Btw Baggy.

Go on Martin's Money Tips, and beyond that, just ask. You don't ask, you don't get; and it's surprising where you'll get discount if you've got the bottle to ask.

Take the balaclava off first, mind...

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh - will do - have already sent email to council tax people just in case ;-)

B's Mum - Noot the photers thatta on me FB area know, sorry now, and INDEED the CLP bloggers area if a can work out 'ow ter use The FB correeectly!!!!!!!!!

PS B's Mum - Will you be me frind on Fb with anyone else who would like ter be... as i'd VERY MUCH like ter be anyone's friend az am a freindly typer person!!!!!!

Bye!

Bingo - No problems - will do - will search you out and send a friend request tonight. (Only go on fb in the evenings). If she who cannot be named has not already shown you - you will be able to see all the photos from the London meet as well as other meets. Quite a few on there are going to Pool.

laters. hopefully!

Deevs
x x x x

#41 clodagh it will be really exciting Chris and Sir Terry, and it's just as exciting to hear who they pick as phone a friend. Do they get one each or do they have to share friends?

Bingo.I'd be your friend if i was on FB.I'm sure you will have lots of friends soon.

Hope everyone's had a good day.

csn. xx

Hmm Hells that's a tough one. I'm thinkin' maybe they get 3 each?

But I'd be takin' the money on that one.

By the way Hells are yous twitterin'?

Clodagh.xx

I also think Chris and Sir Terry, will be great fun to watch.

csn. xxx

Actually, jokin' apart, I'd HATE the responsibility of bein' anybody's phone-a-friend; just imagine the guilt if you got it wrong. Ew. Damian sarkily says I have to be his on account that I know EVERYthing in the WHOLE world, and naturally I have agreed to THAT. Because 'e'd never get past the Fastest Finger First for pickin' 'is nose.

Clodagh.xx

Just listening to Chris talking to Dermot O'Leary. I think they are both lovely.

csn.xxx

I agree Clodagh, If you were the friend, and gave wrong answer, it would
be awful.Not sure i would want to do it.

csn. xxx

Success! She's done it! Super-Geek!

First we had blootoof, now we have changed Broadband suppliers and it's working!!!

Also cooked dinner at the same time!

And lovely person, yes, I did RTFM !

Where is everyone tonight? feel like i'm on my own.

Evening ,

Deev, think i have caught your cold :-(

CSN, hiya ,

MC xx

Deevs, Thats great, glad its working. you must be very happy and to cook dinner at same time.

csn. xxx

Hi, MC, was getting lonely on my own. i'm just getting over bad cold.
hope you feel better soon.

csn. xxx

Howya csn. Nope you're not Betty No Mates, I'm here.

Which I'm not sure will be a comfort....

Look. I've said it before; I might be cr@p but I'm willin'.

Clodagh.xx

Bless yous MC.

C.xx

Hi CSN,

Thanks, just got a scratchy throat , but am taking chocolate every hour to soothe the pain ! Hope you are ok too

MC

Hiya Clodagh,

Agree with you about not being a "phone a friend" , answers usually come to me three days later !

mc xx

Evening All,

Clodagh - stop putting yourself down...You're much better than that - besides....what will I do?

Just back to the office to plumb in the new Laserjet superbanana and catch up on yet more F^$%"*g paperwork.....
I presume you are sat there stroking your fiery red hair and drinking from a horn?!?!?!?!
Just catching up with Geryan as they pronounce it over there.

Tuned in half way through and swiftly had to move on...Crikey, poor, poor people....am now am to the funny stuff. Ta Chuck!

Deev - Good work fella

Evening CSN

Rips

x

on to the funny stuff! Doh

Oh dear MC.

Well now, me, I ALWAYS have the answers. Immediately. Bushack just like that.

Not neccessarily the right ones, like...

Clodagh.xx

Thanks, Clodagh, Thats sweet of you.

MC. Take it easy.
Wrap up warm.
And drink plenty of fluid.

csn. xxx

Hi MC,

Three days is pretty good. I've adopted the old - sound so certain about it that that they daren't question you until you're long gone!

Rips

x

Howya Rips!!

Ah bless. Am not worthy.

Yes indeed, Gerry Ryan; that's why I said the latter part of the show; the first part was heartbreaking. That's the thing about said show. One minute it has you disconsolate, listening to some heart-wrenching tales which have you transfixed and filled with compassion, then you'll get a caller with words of encouragement and usually offering practical help, then someone else with a tale along the same lines but with an optimistic outcome; and then, it turns on a pin-head and has you chokin' with laughter. Genius.

Well, see you sortly; am off to refill me horn and compose a song to counteract Les Lacs de Connemara specially for them cheese-eatin' surrender-monkeys.

Clodagh.xx

Hiya Rips,

Yep , or as soon as someone answers, just say , i was just going to say that.

MC x

Evening. Rips,
Just off to walk the dog.

csn. xxx

OI! You leave the CMM out of this.....Heehee!

Not sure Hee hee suits me really!

I love the fcat that CSN recommends you drink plenty of fluids MC.....*whistle*...Ahem!

Rips

x

Hi CSN - I usually have that effect on here. Enjoy.

Rips

x

Damn right Rips. Yous don't want to be Hee hee-in' like a big girl anywhere near Damian. He's partial to a bit of an aul rugger-bugger if yous get me drift.

Clodagh.xx

Evening peeps.
Rips you weren't on the underground at Westminster station today about 2.15'ish were you??
If you weren't, then you have a doppleganger.

Crumps x

Rips,

Yes, thought that was great advice, and I'm all for "feed " a cold too!

Maltesers and Minstrels, should see me through !

Hope you and yours are ok now

X

Oo Crumps I think that's a bit harsh. Callin' Rips a Doppelganger, just because 'e's got ickle short legs an' a wet nose. More of a big softie aul Labrador I'd say.

Clodagh.xx

He he he - too quick for your own good Ms Rubbish :o)

Just what the North Wales Constabulary said in their recent letter, Crumps.

Just sitting here, catching up on TV & recovering from baby sitting last night while my friend went to see Spandau Ballet

How about you MC

Evening each

Chris, I go back regularly and don't feel nostalgic a bit, just nice to see everyone I valued. Your book so deserves to be at No. 2, it's a great, honest, interesting read - can't wait for the next one.

Back later when I've caught up
