Good morning sunshines,

Chris, the odds would have been 12 x 12 x 10, unless you were predicting Sun Factor before the final twelve were announced. I have lost my calculator but I think the pay out might have been around £1440 for a straight £1 bet. I could be wrong though, tis early on a monday after all!

Hope all is well in everyone's worlds.

MW, a!

Hello Christoff,

Got the earphones in all week , it is indeed the end of an era.

it is the end of an era for the togmeister - I was passing through Harrow on the train today and saw a tanning shop and it made me think of deadly overcoat - what more can one show do?

Morning all,

Now altough my fav in x factor was Jamie - last night Joe did win my heart and I am very pleased he won. He seems to have a very kind and pure soul.

I am listening to every moment of the togmeister this week - it feels very special doesn't it.........although I am obviously looking forward to the reign of the blogmeister in the morning I feel the need to enjoy the moment and not rush with undue haste through this last week.

Little 'n is poorly so home today and will be back I am sure.

Have a great day loves

Cathmel

Hi Chris

It is indeed the end of an era, but I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

I haven't blogged for awhile but I've been lurking and congrats to all who've won tickets for 23rd party.

I'm going back to UK for Christmas and can't wait.

Have a good one everyone.

MaW

SBP - thanks for the Christmas card from you and mr sbp - very kind. My fav legacy (too grand a word????) from the togmeister is the addition of 'rama' to establishments - I nearly chocked on my croissant the other morning when they referred to the undertaker as the embalmerama...........

Good morning all.

Just listening to Terry ,and he's just been made Lord Slot of Cardiff.
So you can see what you'r going to be in for Can't you .

Lovely day here on the south coast ,nice and sunny but cold.

Have a nice day all .

Bids.xxx.

Hey MaW - good to "see" you! Hope all's well in your world and keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep blogging!

Just as I thought, the drive in this morning was priddy as a picture - a Christmas card, in fact!

Sadly tho, Deev HQ is like an ice box as we have no heating in the building over weekends. Brrrrrr ...... heater on full blast, as is iPod!

One more thing - Chris, why do you need a hammer?

Lotsa luv

Deevs

Morning all

Sorry Chris - I cannot agree about SPOTY Jensen was robbed....

Deev - todays guess for the advent calendar is a robin.....again.

mtd ffb xxx

Hi
Just had feedback from the christmas party - the food was rubbish - the venue too dark and too crampt and not enough choice on the frinks menu - and the head guy didn't like it

So glad I didnt go and feel really bad now that it wasnt perfect for everyone - I guess it just shows how little I know about London life and maybe I shouldnt be here

mtd - noted. if it doesn't come up today, maybe try batman tomorrow?!?

;-)

Baggy - you can knock that kinda talk on the head reet now sweetheart! give it time. time is good. trust me.

Hi Chris,

Yes, this week is going to be very emotional re: Terry. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I just don't know what I am going to without him! Of course, I can't wait for you to start the Breakfast Show, but oh boy, it's going to be very tough letting Terry go! You couldn't possibly persuade him to stand in for you when you go on your holidays, could you?!

Hi everyone else: I have been in the Land of No Computer since Friday - it's a scary place to be! So, I am completely out of the loop - hope everyone is ok, and I will try to catch up as the day progresses!

C xx

Good morning everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend,

Chrissie - Happy Belated Birthday Wishes XX

Andy & Mrs Andy - Congratulations XX

Poor Ali being voted off SCD and well done to Joe on winning XF, he was my favourite right from the start, seems like such a lovely, humble, genuinely nice guy, oh and a great singer too!!

Gail

XX

Loads of nuts to crack!

Keep your head down Deev x

Morning all,

Watched the XF final with a (slightly cynical, I s'pose) don't care attitude.
From the point where they go to the judges houses, they are all guaranteed a certain level of fame if not notoriety!
And having watched a a fairly impressive performance from last years chart topping winner and runners up - feel it's all fairly academic!

Louis has to go - does he even know what he is saying.......I know people in glass houses!

Cheryl - I reckon she's preggers!!

Love the Christmas music that is now accompanying the great man's final week on the wireless....The count down begins to:

Tara Terry
Drivetime do at the o2
Christmas
Evans at breakfast - back where he truly belongs!

Loads to look forward too.

Love it

Rips

Gang

Have had an email from Hells Bells re 23rd. Will put it on the CLP bloggers page on FB.

x x x x

Rips

Preggers???? Biologically impossible.

OR are you referring to another Cheryl?

Deevs
x

Morning Christoph

Ensuring all ears to the radio this week, it's going to be a weepy one. But, of course, looking forward to the New Year.

Now, not being a gambler myself, but reckon had you put a few bob on your predictions, way back, you might very well be a millionnaire this morning, ha ha ha! However, still think Jenson should have won it, but that's life.

No comment on XF, don't watch it!

Enjoy your Christmas dinner.

Morning everyone else, cold and crisp first thing, frost now gone and fairly bright.

Pen xx

Baggy,

I have to agree with Deevs. Shut it, right now.

Its not your problem, you tried your best. Its the moaning gits that did nothing to arrange it and then felt they had the right to complain. These sort of people wouldn't be happy in their own personal utopia.

I've met a few myself and nothing grows quicker than a thick skin m'dear.

MW, a!

#15 'Nuts to crack was re: the hammer question from Deev btw!

Congratulations to the Toverson family

Happy birthday Bondy - if I'm correct

Rips

No you nutter....The divine Mrs. Cole!

Phew! That's ok then ....!

FB won't let me post Hells Bells reply on the wall so I'll do it as a note and tag you all!

Yipppeeeee!!!

Deevs

Calendar, Mistletoe!

That's of course if it didn't appear at the weekend, maybe Deevs you could let us know, ta muchly.

Pen xx

Oooh forgot about the weekend ones - was somewhat distracted ...

Sat - stripey cane thing with a bit of holly tied to it (weird!)
Sun - a stocking. green. not red and black ...

Forgot my guess for the advent calendar - A Giraffe.

Gail.

Dan The Man and anyone else going to the 02 but not on FB

Can you contact me somehow pleeeeeeeeeeeeez!

Ta muchly

Deevs

Calendar guess today - a christmas tree.

MW, a!

Now I may be the dimmest of all dim wits Deev, but you have a letter which you need to share with all the bloggers.

I know this because you have posted that fact on the blog.

Can I introduce to my two friends Mr Copy and Mr Paste?

Or am I missing something?

I might be in a minute.

Lots of love and kisses

Your biggest fan

Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had good weekends.

Belated Happy Birthday to the Lovely Chrissie xxx

Happy Birthday to Mr Bondy today xxx

Congratulations to Andy and Mrs Andy on the bouncing Baby Boy xxx

Chris, As has been said, it's going to be a sad week, certainly the end of an era - Poor bloke sounds worn out though, good job he's got a few months off before he starts his new show.

Can't comment on the X Factor as I didn't watch it. But have to confess that I am glad that Team Cola are through. Although I will admit that Ali is certainly the better dancer, she doesn't entertain me as much as Chris and Ola do. And as for that couple and their show dance how dull was that! Someone said on here that we should have watched Tom and Camilla's again, I agree with that.

The Christmas tree is up and the cards written, I am wrapping presents on a need to basis. Got a busy week ahead work wise and social wise, bring it on.

Advert Calendar guess for today is a bell.

AliB

No more trouble making honest.

Thanks Deevster.

Right I'm off to London - may pop in to the Ferrari store while I'm there.
Just don't tell the CMM!

Rips

It's sad that Terry is leaving and he will be missed but everything changes eventually and we get you Chris, so not too bad then!
Deevs - Just tell us what it said will you woman! - Please?

Nic

Nic - be there by 4 - names on the door - jeans are acceptable

deev - i think that covers it?????

Morning!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Andy!

Happy Birthday Bondy!

I too shall be listening as much as poss, but it'll have to be on the i-wotist as I start work at 8am from tomorrow........eek!

Having a lazy morning, then off to be computer course for new job this afternoon........think it's going be one of those 'and this is the ON button' courses........oh joy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONDY XX

Pen xx

Good morning, Blogmeister Christoff!

Cannae help but have a tear in the eye, listening to Sir Tel! He's always a joy in the morning, but he's in great form today! And we all know fine well there will be much laughter and many a tear at the dinner tonight! Enjoy every single minute, Chris, as you won't have these times again either! Take lots of photos, print them off asap and get them in an album to help you remember these wonderful times!

Much to do in the Highland household - Highland Mum, having mangled her car round a stag last night, has been on the phone all morning to the insurance and garage. Catch up with you later, bloggers and blogettes!

Huggles all round!

Susan

Oh, happy birthday 007!!

Huge congrats Andy and Mrs Andy - photos??

My guess for the advent calander - ANGEL - they were looking after my Mum last night on the A82!

HLS - Hope your mum has got over the shock.

mtd ffb xxx

Deev - Can I change my advent calendar guess to a Stag with a Mazda grill stuck to it's antlers.

I know Highland Mum is ok so it's not in too bad taste.

X

Gail.

Morning all,

Congratulations Mr.& Mrs Andy - lovely news!

Happy Birthday Bondy and belated Happy birthday to Chrissie - hope you had a good one x

Hi Pen - cold innit?!

Darce xx

HSL - Hope your mum gets it all sorted quickly, must have been a bit of a shock to see the front of her car disappear on a pair of antlers!!

ebx

oh and peesss....

Thank you for all your cards, I will get round to writing some.....probably!!

ebx

ROFL!!! That's brilliant, Dozymac!! We are now wondering if all the other deer will stop him joining in their games and if Santa will take pity on him and let him drive the sleigh!! xx

eb - he left the rest of the car in a bit of a state too! Looks like a write off! But he only managed to get away with the grill!! Highland Mum's shattered but no injuries!! xx

Morning, Diva, honeybun,

sorry I'm late!!!

will stay on for the next hour, if youre hovering around . . .

DtM x

HL, Glad that Highland Mummy is OK xx

Morning all!

Now I know that Silver Bells is the Charity song of choice for all R2sers, however as an alternative i.e. for those who may already have Silver Balls then perhaps this may be the answer:
www.cdbaby.com/cb/Starsky1

this is the story that goes with it:

and is a friend of a friend - however I also seem to have bleary eyed memories of Starsky though a fog of numerous Guinness' whilst in Ayr.

Enjoy

I can imagine it HSL....I worked in Jellystone for three months years ago, and one of the girls had a bump with an Elk......car did not pretty, she still drove it tho!!

Morning All,

Back in the office after a week off to paint the kitchen and await the arrival of a new fridge freezer - life's just one endless round of excitement....

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Andy,happy birthday to Bondy and Chrissie (belatedly) and commiserations to Highland Mum - glad you're OK though. At least now I have an answer when my niece asks why Rudolph's nose is so red :-)

Oh well, better get back to (or at least start!) work....

Ohh Diva the mods didn't like your email address did they!

I think I've just seen some sleet passing my window! Is the snow on its way?

Quack

****Starsky for No.2****

Thank you Ms Bowles.
A40 closed going into London - Luca de Montezemola will have to wait for my money.

Ahh!

Well last full week of work before xmas hols - the week in which everyone else suddenly panics that they must get you to do that REALLY important thing that will take ages before the holidays.

Bonus for us is that we are closed for two weeks so this friday is the last pay day until 8th january sooooo - 3 weeks wages in a oner!!!! :-)

Quack

Good afternoon one and all,

It will be a shame to hear the rear of the great Mr TW and the end of an era for drivetime ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but hey, it's the start of a new era, CLP in the mornings warming the cockles as we head to the office, shop, factory, school, well you get my drift, it's gonna be so cool.

Deev, will look at FB later when at home to see what you tagged, now get on with some work you scrabble boff lol xx

SBP-- have to agree, dont worry urself over it, not one bit !!

Birthday wished to Bondy

Everyone else-------Enjoy today, ur all great peeps, you deserve to enjoy

Errol xxx

Me again:

Can I just say a BIG thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday - really thoughtful. xx I did have a happy day - went for a fabulous lunch with MrS and my lovely sister, and I received some lovely gifts. Very spoiled, and it slightly took the edge off turning 53. Only slightly ...

Susan: I am so pleased to hear that your mum is ok. It was great to meet her (and you of course!) a couple of months ago. Please tell her I send my best, and this may be a good excuse for a couple of glasses of wine to calm the nerves!

Andy: many congratulations to you and MrsA! It's lovely to hear the news of your little boy's arrival! xx

MaW: nice to see you on the blog. Hope you are enjoying this series of G&S - isn't your friend "Gwen" just fab?!

C xx

Glad you mum's okay, Highland Lass, she was very lucky, it could have been oh so much worse. x

Hi Darce, as you say, tis a tad nippy! Better that rain tho'.

Pen xx

Errol, it's not that I'm a "Scrabble boff" - it's that the word I boffed you with was "sequin" - how apt!!

Deevs
x x x

Baggy - Thanks for the info on 23rd. Jeans it is. Will you be wearing jeans...if so will they be baggy jeans? (Sorry...)
Highland Lass - Sounds nasty but glad nobody hurt. I live near Cannock Chase where there are deer and you get a fair few accidents involving then.
Cheryl - Are you allowed to use a word like boffed by the moderators?!
Eventful morning here at work. One of the finance staff has been dismissed...upsetting people, not doing her job and..err...spending too much time on the internet..byeeee..

Hi - just popping in from mobile. Can't access from work as it's like dial up! Still haven't figured out paragraphs - any suggestions gratefully received.

He's behind you!!!!!!!!!!!

If you were a Christmas decoration, what would you be???

Susan

I have some beautiful little sparkly shoes hanging on my Christmas tree .... does that answer your question?

Cheryl x

Bags me the reindeer bauble!!

Deevs, that's you to a tee! ;)

H Lass, an oversized Fairy!

Pen xx

Pen - are we talking decs or dames here???

x x x x

Probably both, Hahaha!

Cripes!!! When I started to catch up, it was up to #59...now I can't keep up let alone catch. Mind you I catch like a girl, so is probably left to someone else anyway.

Chris, I have to agree with you...although, not being quite 80% (forget 100) I tend to miss the first bits of Msr Le Wogan, and only manage to catch (again, like a girl) the last half hour or so. However, I fully intend to set my clock for VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING on Friday, to make sure I hear the whole kit and kaboodle.

...anyhoo, I'm stoked that Joe won. Poor lovely Stacey couldn't hold a note in the end, even though she had a bit more showman(woman)ship, she did keep going off key...although it may have just been nerves, who knows, but she looked turtley fab singing with Mr Bubble, and well done!!! Ollie, well done too for getting to the final two...didn't watch IACGMOOH, and only turned over to Beebeebceeb1 for SPOTY to see who won. And didn't recognise him. Should I be shot? Most of you know of my lack of interest in football (sport mostly) so I really wouldn't recognise Ryan Giggs if he bit me on the leg. Which he is never likely to do so is all moot. Mootball. Well done Mr Giggs!!!

Christophe, and the rest of the wonderful Drive Time Team, have a lovely time tonight, don't forget the handy andies...and speaking of which, many congratulations to Mr Mrs Toverson!!!

SOOOOO looking forward to the 23rd (thanks for the note Chezza)
love

pessess am now about to start the second leg of Christmas card writing....just need to limber up the wrist. But that's probably not for here...

peesseeess AM a girl. Just in case any of you were wondering...

...which is mainly why I catch like one...

Re: the tree. May I be a pixie please? In a red sequinned cowboy hat for preference.

HELP!

What's the key stroke thingy for a Euro sign?!??!

Nic, Rips I would object to mtd ffb's casting. Dragging you down to my level is totally uncalled for!!

Andy, Congrats to you and MrsA on the new addition.

Hiya

my tree is still naked so best not talk about what I would be - Nic - I have very tight jeans and not at all baggy - other then mine from this time last year which are now huge on me :-)

Thanks Pen - life saver!!

€€€€€ Wow! I never knew that! Thanks Pen!

Deeva International exporter/importer then eh! Check you out ;-)

Quack

Has just taken me all my time to find Alt Gr. I'm quite liking a key that akshully has a sound attached to it. Just to call Alt Grrrrrrrrphwoooooooooar across the office. In case anyone needs to know what the stroke is for a Euro.

Very cool.

Cannot believe is nearly half past three. Mind you, I didn't wake up til quarter to two. (Is not good in case any of you are jealous.)

AND I KEEP FORGETTING...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONDY!!!

If we had snow here, I'd make an angel for you...

What else does the Alt Gr key do? I have a feeling that if I tried something I will crash the pooter!

Quack

Hazel, you could make Bondy a cake, like wot you did for me and many, many others.

Pen xx

Dook, you have three symbols on the key left of the 1, by pressing alt gr it will give you the third symbol, which I suspect Hazel uses to make her cakes!!

Afternoon all. What a superb weekend of schmaltz on the telly. Just what you need when the days are short and cold. Went to the party dressed as Jedward and we looked superb, I have to say. There was a bus full of people stationary right next to the car when we got out, so a little showbiz wave was in order. It was too good an outfit not to wear again so I'm wondering about the works do on Friday? It's black tie but do you think they'd mind a middle aged woman in a blond spiky wig and sequinned jacket and great big shiny boots? If I have a large enough gin and tonic while I'm getting ready you never know . . .

Huge congrats to the Toversons on little George.

Hello Gang

Am I too late for an advent guess? Today, I think it is a trumpet!! Well, why not!!

Baggy (or should we be calling you skinny now??) Definately do not worry about their party! From what you told me it sounds like you had to book what other people said they wanted, not what you thought was best. Next year, you'll be able to do it your way from the beginning so it will be, obviously, perfect!

Just a quick visit for now, have deprived teenage boy of post-school computering for all of 5 mins and I think he may actually explode from deprivation!!

My question yesterday while sharing my opinion with the Twitterverse was what has Giggs done this year that makes him stand out from the others?

Also how can Tom Daley be nominated for both the YSPOTY and SPOTY?

Pen, I could indeed. Am not functioning on all engines today. But what's new???

Bondy, for you, a cake. You can't see, but on the top there are loads of those irritating sparkly things that you can't eat in the shape of little 007's...

oooh and a pome!

A Pome entitled 'Double OH!'

If I had a bunny rabbit
I would call him Bond
And of that little bunny rabbit
I'd become so fond

I'd let him eat some lettuce
and I'd let him eat some cake
So if I had a bunny rabbit
What a fuss of him I'd make

If I had a bunny rabbit
I would call him Bond
I'd let him in the garden
But never near the pond

I'd let him eat some carrots
I'd let him eat some grasses
That's why you never see my bunny rabbit
Even reading, wearing glasses
