In you go chaps -it's cars again!!! unless it stops raining?

However, will someone please start kicking up about the new car tax rates - we can't afford to change our cars and they are going to charge a fortune to tax the flippin' things!!!

Come back guy fawkes all is forgiven

Hi Chris

I had a look at that Hulingham event last week - O my GG's - how are you going to get through that?
The cars look fantastic, though . .

"Here I go again on my own" - Whitesnake - might be app. for this eves activities in SW19 . .

DtM

afternoon all, how are we doing on this fine day? *sniggers with barely disguised mirth*

Wouldnt it be lovely to drive about in a car where the thickness of the paint really matters!

My hubby is coming back to his new car surprise in 8 days (yes only 8 days!) it arrived 2 days after he left for Kabul and has sat on the drive looking lustful for nearly 5 months - I only tend to potter to the garden center in it as I LOVE my Mini too much!

But then the thought of a lively lovely purring aston martin or a mercedes gull wing... A girl can only dream....

KJRx x

And the up side is... I have to travel to meet some friends tonight so would have missed the Murray match...

Wow! One minute I was reading then appeared to have a siesta, missing the mirth of BM, Wickerman, DD et al!

Yep - feel free to poke!!

Still no play on center court - boo :-(

BM - there's a pic of our blueberry bushes on FB under the Allotment Pix bit. There's 6 of 'em, and this is their last chance saloon year: make or break baby!!

We're groaning under the weight of the strawbs - got about 15 jars of strawb jam, also got loads of gooseberries (good jam!) and the razzers are just coming into ripe perfection - more jam!

Mr Diva sold 7 jars at work today: at £2.50 a jar I'll be able to retire soon!!

Poke Poke!

CtD xxxx

THE COVERS ARE OFFFFFFFFFF!!!

Diva - have to watch me !! snooze for two seconds and I'm in there!!!

Beesmum xxx

Diva - My blueberry bush - only the lonely one - is a smidge bigger than your six - leave for another year and you will get 36 berries next year!!! Now did I use a calculator to work that out!????

Any tennis yet? Sun starting to come through here?

Beesmum xx

Goosegogs a bit early? - I love them in a crumble - one of the only puds I like!

BM xx

Hellooooo to a new blog! When are you going to try the old blog titles again Christophe?

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and is coming out to play....

I do not wish to find out the thickness of the paint on my car. That would probably mean an altercation with something or someone. I like my car with all its paint on!

Speaking of which, the supermarket delivery lorry which regularly attempts to drive up our very narrow lane managed to avoid all potential altercations with all the parked cars (which were all parked within marked bays, but it still had difficulty) and then proceeded to take out part of a roof further up the road. Sigh.

The covers are off indeed - but when are they going to start playing again?!

Hurrah hurray I managed to get some insulin in at last so I can go and eat something substantial and spoil my dinner - toad in the hole tonight!

xx

jumpingbean et moi

Substantial... got waylaid by a strawberry and dark choc mini choc covered icecream... strawberries for wimbers though, at least that's something ;)

Ah suns coming back out! Still cant watch Wimbers though - stuck in work!

There is a photo of my OH in Kabul on Andy Murrays website - how chuffed am I!

CtD any recipies for Strawb Jam - mine seems to be v gloopy and have tried everything its just not like Nannas! any recipies gratefully received!

KJR x

Dont been to be rude but SO not interested in cars.
How's Enzo doing?

Liz x

Hello lovelies!!! Just popping in to say I MISS YOU ALL. I'm still full of flu - how unfair is it to get flu in the summer????? Hope everyone is keeping well, back in a few days hopefully!!

T xxxx (still LOVING new house :-))

Aww Tinsel there was I thinking you were unpacking - plenty of hot toddies for you girl!! Get better soon.

Beesmum xx

Katie - the alamo photo? not long to go now!!! and A martins growl --gggrrrr!!!

B-sMum,

Thats the one! Bless them, how uncomfortable do they look! He was just grumbling via email about being 'forced to pose'.... Hmm looks forced!

Tinsel - Ahhhw poor you *((big hug))* thats the worst!

KJR x

BM - you really make me laugh. Thank you!

Tinsel - flu in summer. bummer! Hope you're feeling better soon.

KatieK - will FB you a recipe for strawb jam. Mr Diva currently using book for rasp jam - he sold some at work but has to make it tonight!! Check FB tomorrow sometime - will prob do it at lunchtime.

Oh - BM - is your blueberry plant netted? The birds'll have them 6 berries if not. Trust me!

Federer nearly thru to semis. Then it's the turn of Andy and the amazingly-armed Spaniard!! Toughie!!

Right, back to Wimbers.

CtD xxxx

There is a new study about women and how they feel about their @rse5. The results were pretty interesting:

30% of women think their @r5e is too fat............

10% of women think their @r5e is too skinny......

The remaining 60% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, and they wouldn't trade him for the world.

Boom boom!!

x x x

Wow...CLP must be a genius..what a prediction. How would Murray cope against Federer? Who cares...lets hope he gets there. Watching the tennis on my pc and drinking "Mighty Murray Red" from Oz...fingers crossed for him

Not a car person really so cant get excited by Chris's motor or JKs...love Top Gear though ..just goes to show the right people can make any subject interesting

Thanks so much Cheryl, I have about a half tonne of strawberries threatening to go mouldy in the fridge! (big fridge! Or maybe a slight exaggeration) Its refrigerated mush or warmed through mush with my cooking I am afraid! The recipe will go down a treat (several from internet have ended in disaster!) Will let you know if I managed to ruin it!

KJRx

well...so much for Murray...still the red wine is nice ;)

Don't write him off just yet Rob!

Although I admit tis not looking good!

x x x

Grrr. Getting Bingo'd now ....

As I was saying ..... seems you were right all along mr oddjobeasyjobrobrob ...

Fizz and he's gone - but - Nadal's body - cooeee!!!
Cheers rob don't
usually start on the red until later cos I drink it like water but one large glass down already!!

Diva - plenty of other stuff for the birdies other end of garden and I can see blueberry bush from office so ready to pounce when necessary!!

Heck.

It is all going off.

And I don't mean the tennis.

Bad luck Andy, but you were up against a brick wall tonight.

Have you ever tried playing a brick wall?

Darn thing gets every damn ball back.

But no. Today I had a call.

Yep. The call.

And tomorrow is the summit meeting.

At The M. Of course.

This one is the big one.

For the first time in a long time I feel excited about my work. Crumbs.

You know what though? I'll probably sleep better tonight than I do (don't) every damn night of the week.

Wish me luck troops.

Hope you are well.

Much peace. Much love.

MfR

PS Go Marat.

PPS Please please me.

By the way.

Wild Blueberry.

MfR.

Good luck Matt, let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the kind words regarding my mum's little dog. Mum sounded much better earlier today.

I didn't watch the tennis I take it that it didn't go too well then.

CtD loved that email, forwarding it on right away.

Love
Debbie x

Morning all

Up early as hospital tests today so wont be back till late afternoon....wish me luck

Sara xxx

morning all

bingo - welcome back, glad you're ok

my cheeky little diet is no more than cutting out bread, very simple really. Still eating everything else, just not had bread for 11 days, 7lb lighter, bloated tummy slowly going down!

Lunchtime in Reading will be fine, any coffee shop, cafe, restaurant will do, only thing I dont eat is curry.

Bonnet de douche

KWx

https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7485313.stm

grrrrrrr ....makes me mad.....these cretins do not speak for me...I found the "slow down so i can slice the lemons" incredibly funny, as I did the "bumper dumper" and yes the frozen thingy was a bit of a shock but made a serious point. Why do we have to pay these prats salaries (BBC Trust not Top Gear)

I am sick of other people trying to protect my precious little mind....if parents truely are concerned by what is on telly then they should pre-watch everything before their kids.

*walks off muttering and looking for his lemon slicer*

how boring is the BBC - Top Gear is one of the best shows around and I dare anyone to say differently! - see EJR link for details

KW - sorry - I'm sleepy - we did say the 12th didn't we?

okay - seeing as you don't know Reading we should find a good pub that does lunch - Rob - any ideas? Anyone else going to be about that weekend?

super bp x

yep....Sat 12th

sorry,

I know Beijing better than Reading.

A great place in Beijing in the bar "Bai Feng" which is on the Hou Hai Lake in the central region of Brijing - Spring there is lovely as they have the festival of the lights and there are lots of cherry blossom trees. The bar itself is small, smokey (wood smoke from the stove) and tucked away by the bridge.

Grrrrrrrr indeed. Grrrrrrr indeed. Numpties. Clip boards. Do gooders.

Leave The Hamster and Co. alone. They are fun. Maybe the numpties should try it one day!!!

Anyhoooooo ..

Morning troops - happy Thirsty Thursday.

Hopes ... good luck at the hozzy.

MfR - good luck vibes comin' your way for The Dream Job. Knock 'em dead matey!

Gingembre - I thought the loss of 7lbs was somehow linked to Mrs G's return from her girly holiday ..... oh well, never mind!!

Feeling a bit cheeky today due to a rather racy dream last night. Just praying I don't talk in my sleep!!!

Back laters - thinking caps are on for ARF!

CtD xxxxxxx

Rob

Beijing. WTF?????

Ok smarty pants ... I can recommend a lovely little bar in the middle of Havana ....

x x x x

I know a great pub on the IOM in TT week - does that count?

CtD - naughty dreams - had one when my intended died and after a year of mornig (even in my dreams I'm good to him) I got together with David tennant - got married in scotland and became Mrs D McDonald - if only! Mr Bp was not that best pleased when I told him - but I said at least it shows i would never cheat on you!

Super bp x

For **%%$ sake.
The best, silliest show on telly being criticised again for "having a laugh". Why do these people that complain about it continue to watch.

Message for Jezza, Maysie and Hamster, keep on keeping on, the vast majority of us love it!

I see no-one complained that Hamster was in danger of freezing to death! if a frost bitten willy and Gin and tonic is the full breadth of their complaint then these people need to get a life.

CtD I have FB'ed!

DD out

CTD

Morning so as part of your dream will you be putting any peas in the jar LOL!!!!


Hope you are ok today and not going to fall asleep on us again today?

Ola one and all

I read first of all about Johnathan Ross criticism's then Jeremy Clarkson, dear me, no sense of humour some people.

I don't know why but I watched a bit of Big Brother last night. They were dressed up as animals... well no change there then. I notice they have a Nancy Lamb lookie likey. She even sounds like her too.

Hoping Bingo's trip to the Eastern Block proves fruitful and he finds his Ting Tong.


Mr Chris, very posh that car show place. Shouldn't have worried about the jeans though. They probably thought you were an eccentric millionaire or something.


Adios coco

Wickerman ... peas in jar, you cheeky minx!

Get your bot on FB Mr W !!

DD - have FB'd ya!

Wide awake my lovelies, wide awake!

CtD xxxxx

C

PS: dontcha just hate the IT brigade who spoil all ya fun at work???

CTD

Top gear snipers - go shoot yourselves. One of best shows on TV and they are also knocking that one with waterman and amanda and co here I go again, can't remember the name, the polliss one? please!!! new series on next week but I reckon I've watched every repeat!!

Beesmum

CtD - dreams huh...every time I write about mine here they get bingoed ;)

Good luck bingo - single is better though!!!! Still if they can't speak the same language then at least it may last a while hehehe...women and men never speak the same language anyway (i know, I know!!!!)

c t d
xxxx

mine involved a .... hmmmmm ... errrr ... and the he ...... and it was ..... daren't say! hehehehehe!!!

Thats the boy DD New Tricks!! Phew thanks - getting old!!!

Back later - just as I thought phone had stopped !! duh!!

Beesmum xx

Wickerman it involves backing right out of work system if you can do that?

Oh stop ringing !!!! give me a break! back in a bit

LOL!!! I wondered how yuo knew DD !!!

I thought you were making us an offer we couldn'y refuse!

**now sitting at desk grinning like cheshire cat with rest of office wondering what the heck i'm up to!!**

and then he .... with a ........ nah, can't say!

BM - Russell and a zoom lens!

Just had to comment on Easy Job Rob's comment.

Must be careful as I have been warned by -AS66- THAT MY COMMENTS CAN BE OF A PERSONAL NATURE AND MAY CAUSE OFFENSE.


Anyway I don't think that all men and women are stereo types at all.

I don't like knitting , I don't like shopping, I don't like girly girl nights, and I don't like kids.
I like Steve Wright but the requests on Sunday love songs never cease to make me laugh.



coco

aaaargh it was one of those stupid recorded messages!!! they are soooo annoying!!

back in a bit

Beesmum xx

Diva - zoom needed? oh dear!!

BM xx

wow! can type with one hand! smarty pants!

coco ... i'm not a fan of kids either. can never eat a whole one!

I like kids and cannot wait to have my own but

I hate pink (always have done)
cannot stand clothes shopping (is there a point - you go in, try on a couple of bits and buy - how difficult can it be?)

don't really wear make-up etc and have hair in a pony tail most days

love motor bikes/live music and drinking

also my male finger is longer then my female finger so i am a man (which scares my partner a bit!)

I can also read maps (smug grin on face)

Super bp x

lol...I enjoy ironing

oh dear.

i love pink
i can't read maps
i have more make-up than superdrug
i spend a small fortune of hair products
i love spa days
i can't live without my acrylic nail extensions

but ...

i also love pints, football, live music, bike racing and the red top tabloids.

and flirting!!!!

CtD xxxx

Rob

Enjoy and ironing. Not usually two words that go together very well.

I did mine yesterday and hated every darn second.

Devil's work. ironing.

Cher xxx

I like flirting - when does flirting become an issue - whe one party does not realise thats its just flirting!

as an occupational flirter my partner had to learn that it means nothing to me - its just the way i am and we seem to get on okay with it!

what is "flirting"? is it like gardening?

confused ;)


oh yes...I also like irony

OMG. The Diva needs to focus.

Boss asks me to investigate some flight options.

Opens internet xplorer. So far, so good.

Proceeds to type in:

www.easyjob

Oooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

Ciao!!

x x x

Rob hun

Flirting is like gardening in so much as it can get very mucky but be very rewarding as it progresses.

x x x

SuperBP: i'm a habitual flirter (not so's you'd ever notice, mind!). Luckily, so is Mr Diva.

The important thing is that we know we'd never stray.

Rule No.1 ..... by all means window shop, just don't swipe your credit card!!!

Lunch calling!

Diva xxxxx

Lunchtime - Matt good luck with the meeting at The M wishing you all the best.

CtD you bad girl - keep it up you keep me smiling reading your commentaries.

Shame about AM's match - never mind at least he has achieved the last 16 which he hadn't before. Did you also hear that his brother was in the Mixed Doubles Semis... way to go.

Last night's party was brill - out in the country but so interesting in conversations and a good result in sales.

Off out to bank and collect last weeks orders so will check back in later and see what you are all discussing then.

Bingo nice to see you checking in - good luck in the Ukraine.

Oh my just what did we start yesterday - the most emailed bbc link was the English Test....

OMG!! the power of THE BLOG!!!!

Hi all

Checked with the BBC regarding little man's filming and they sent the card out by mistake. It was regarding other filming at the same park. Gutted! I have to explain to Harry and his school now.

He will be on tv May 20th next year.

Feel so bad now!

Debbie x

Crikey Debbie that's a whole year from when they filmed him!?? how daft is that
