Alright guv'nor. What did you do with Sally? Was she on theflaming sambuca's?

Hilarious!!!! Good to know it happens to you guys as well!!!

Now, about Howard Donald ......

Mwwwaaaaah!

Cheryl the Diva x x x

PS: Human League Love Action - awesome!!!!

Shhhhhh.................................DJ sleeping.

df

Afternoon (just)

I once drove to work after a particulalry bad night on the tequila...I did have to stop a few times and *get some fresh air*. It was only about 5 miles! Oh the good old days / shame.

Sometimes the only way to deal with the badtimes is to get up, get out and get on with it, unles you're chained to the bathroom of course!

Now about Mark Owen .............

Nope Gary for me please - ask him when Britainnia High cd is going to be released with his and Guy Chamber's songs on it?

What a song writing duo.

PS my mum taught Guy to drive and his brother as well.

AFTERNOON BLOGMEISTER!

Phoning in sick after a crimble do is a no-no! All your colleagues (and the bosses) know that you had a skinful, and then you phone in "Tom". You know we are all thinking that Sally is a lightweight now!!! tsk tsk, I thought she was more of a party girl than that!!! Although Foxy or Jonny I would have accepted it for some reason! Impressions huh???

DD out

See DD - I thought Sally wa a bit more hardcore than that too. Now I feel all let down!

MORNING///AFTERNOON CHRISTOPHE!!! COOOEEEEE!!!

Sorry was that a bit loud???
Pleased you had a good time last night. These young uns can't take it A - someone go and get Sally out of her sick bed - she'll feel much better!!!

Beesmum xxx

Bond's team?

The clue is in the film titles

Dr No(rwich City)

Live(rpool) and let die

The Man(chester Utd) with the golden gun(ners)

(Rushden &) Diamonds are forever.

The world is Not(tingham Forest) enough.

On Her(eford Town) majesty's secret service.

Arternoon all!
Finally over the ickiness (thankfully), tucking into a roast chicken and stuffing butty from ELH now, scrummy!
Can't believe Sal is pulling a sickie, lightweight! Mind you, being tee total these days I can never use that excuse!

Advent guess? Howsabout a pressie?

Tiggs xx

Excellent work mrsmaryevans!!

I share the general surprise about Sal but hope it is just a hangover and not the novo nasty - or everyone in R2 will have it tomorrow!

df

Know how you feel. Went out for a drink with a few coleagues last week and had a good time so I just want to do it again.

I really should get out more!

Nev

coleagues ... oops marks off for spelling again!

I did think our Sal was a Rock Chick, Chicky made of Rock! but obviously not in the same league as our own Diva!

Howard Donald luv, more like Howard Jones!

;-)

DD out

;-P

That's fighting talk Dissing!

df

Oi! DD - don't diss The Donald! It is allowed as he's slightly older than me!

I guess I did sink a few pints of Honeydew at Docklands eh DD!?!?

MrsMary,

That's very good.....LOL, keep guessing.......

An early entry for me this morning as the weather here as delayed a lot of things. Schools delayed by 2 hours, snow and ice everywhere..... I am waiting for daylight and will venture out onto the roads....... More bad weather on the way at the end of the week...yuk

On the TV right now a bit about sleep emailing.... have you ever heard of such a thing.....?

Hi bloggers, long time no blog - at least from me.
Can't do the drinking thing any more, it just takes too long to recover plus I hate it when you plan to have 'a session', leave the car at home and then actually only have one or two drinks THEN can't get a taxi for love nor money!!!
If only I hadn't had the drink at all, I could be in the car and home instead of shivering on a pavement surrounded by very drunk people.

Must be getting older and maybe wiser?

Crumpy, out xx

Bondy - sleep emailing. Do tell us more ....

and WAT team do you support, I wonder???

Hiya Crumpy! It has been a long time. Pleae, please stick around!!!!

DD - are you hiding .......

Hi CtD,

Apparently it's along the same line as sleep walking and sleep eating....... Really weird, I can't image myself doing any of them, but that's just me.......

Sleep emailing??? Lor' I muck it up awake what on earth would it look like if I did it in my sleep??

I just like sleep ....sleeping.

Crumpy :)

Diva, was just peeling the sprouts!

No need for me to hide!

I don't believe that you did any more honeydew than I did lager, unless you were caning it prior to my arrival! Good book was it??

DD out

Crumpy, I couldn't agree more......

No sign of Matt or Dan today??

Did they meet?

Did they hit it off?

Did they leave together???

DD out

DD - they are meeting tonight :-)

(it is still wednesday isn't it?)

I'm glad that the christmas do sickie is not only pulled by the everyday drunk in the street! I haven't had one of those in a while... I try to make sure I don't plan anything for the next day (the joys of being your own boss eh?).

I'm afraid that our only little Christmas do is going to be on Friday afternoon and it's not the usual big dressed up thang... though I might just do so and hang the lot of em anyway!

Must listen again to last nights show it sounds like it was a good one!

Luv
Lyndyloo

That'll be the drugs then SBP

Mine not yours!! LOL

Oooh Bond- More bad weather... looks like I missed the worst of the weather on my trip eh?

Luv
Lyndyloo
-x-x-

Funny...............I've not heard any travel news on R2 for some time now - d'you think Lynn has gone off home and they're desperately trying to call someone else in? LOL!

I wonder if Bondy likes the colour yellow?

df

DD - I may have had one or two before your arrival at the happy table!!!

hic!

Oh poor Sally

I'm sure it's a bug and not due to excess intake of loopy juice.

More Take That talk ... I could not possibly comment.

Just a reminder one and all to feed the birds this time of year. Today I treated them to left over Hungarian Goulash as Iv'e run out of Nuts.

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed themselves in Scotland.


PP

derbyfi - JV doesn't seem to do much travel news on his show - interferes with the wooden spoon stirring sessions!

Afternoon all!

Well done MrsMary, very clever!!

Tiggs, glad you're feeling better :-)

How are you doing Dave??

Yay to it being hump day but boo to it being the last Weds show for a while ... who's going to hold the fort while CLP's away?????

Hope Sal's feeling better soon - maybe the pressure of being at no 3 has got to her ...

T xxx

You may be right CtD - I very rarely listen to him so just assumed it was as in the other shows.

Provides a useful gap time to sort out staffing issues though!

df

The only way to get over it is to get back on it, I say.

Hair of the dog - good for what ails (ales?) ya.

Advent: 1. a bell 2. a mouse ringing a bell.

Rosie x

thanks tins! It is nice to feel better, especially as we have our christmas secret santa fest/lunch on Friday and I blimming well organised it!

Tiggs xx

Aaaggghh too too busy - t'internet monitored at work too. Five days and counting til t'internet at home. Gert lush.

Keep happy all until then.

LoL
Jx


PS Mr Evans, you the best! x

Lyndy, The weather this week has gone from an unseasonable high of 50 degrees to 20 degrees with snow, ice with more to come.....

derbyfi....LOL

Bondy, I remember seeing something on TV recently about sleep emailing. Some bod (that's bod not bond) has already tried to cash in by producing a software package you can install which will take you through an apptitude test if you attempt to send an email when you should be sleeping or under the influence of alcopop's..........at that point I switch off!

Sorry to hear Sally is poorly - must have been something she ate!

Mary xx

Here's a wee somefin for yas ...

Enjoy

x x x x

hi Jen!

Thanks to all for the kind and good wishes!

I am OK in myself just sore, and quite mainful in the legs and back at the moment.

I will be going back to work tomorrow irrespective, but mainly because I don't want to just go back for our Christmas lunch on Friday! Nuttin' special just a pub lunch with colleagues, and a secret santa that I refused to take part in! Bah Humbug!!!

Although, [No-one else is listening are they?] I have bought for myself a black mug with Bah Humbug written on it which I intend to wrap up and get given to me during the Secret Santa at the meal!

I'm not really a Bah Humbug just didn't want to take part!

DD out

mainful D'Oh Painful!!!

MwK, I believe the software is made by a small start up company by the name of google.....LOL

Must go and brave the icy/snow roads. Will be back on later...hopefully.....

Is that who it is Bond, Google? Never heard of them.......doh! An embarassed smiley would be appropriate at this point!

Take care on the roads.


Mary xx

........you didn't really answer me did you James? Man of mystery?

:)

Watch your driving Bond- take care out there!

Advent 1- a bauble
Advent 2- a mouse in thigh legnth pvc boots and a mask!

oooh Lyndy I hope Beesmum isn't drinking tea when she gets to your post - te he he

Anyone know where or how Dookiegg is - I am presuming she is knee deep in turkeys and feathers.

Really Lyndyloo - what did you have for lunch to come up with that guess?????

norty norty gal!

CtD- It's a heavy day here I need a little light relief! (ta btw)

Beez hopefully will manage not to spill tea all over her keyboard.

Luv
Lyndyloo
-x-x-

Lyndy, I'm starting to spot a trend in your suggestive guesses for advent calendar 2!

hmmm

I went into work on Monday as I had certain jobs to finish. Whilst there works version of Mrs Spirit of Christmas (you know the type Chrimble songs being played all day from December 1, Xmas deckies and ear-rings etc.) Came hobbling towards me as I was hobbling towards her. She asked what had happened to me, so I told her! She then told me what she had done. The story follows;-
She was moving her Christmas tree in the living room and trod on one of the legs of the base which cut her foot! Oh how I laughed!!!

DD out

Advent - a candle
Alternative - elephant in a tutu dancing with a mouse in a dinner suit!

Nev

DD - you cruel man! ;)

Rosie x

DD - I too just larfed aloud at that!!!

Lydyloo - the problem with your suggestive light relief guessing is it makes me start to obsess about Howard Donald and Russell Brand again. Just as I'd calmed down ........

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

** only my head knows what's going on in there **

Rosie

True, I apologised for laughing, but the irony of it was too much!!

DD out

Oh Advent 1 - Christmas Tree
Advent 2 - Aled Jones machine gunning Perry Como!

DD out

Ps It's the most wonderf ratatatatatatatatata!

advent 1 - a sleigh
advent 2 - three blind mice having a dance

DD I'm luvin Advent 2!!!! larfin so much people are beginning to think that I like my job (now that would never do!!) hehehehe!

CtD- I think I might have to find some other light relief..... ok I'm off to the Tierry shop... ho-hum!

Luv
Lyndyloo
-x-x-

lol DD, I'll have what you're having!!

T xxx

PS Advent - mouse in a ballerina outfit

Rosie

Another tradition for you ....

Boxing Day breakfast - sherry trifle!

Yay!




And if you think about someone hard enough, and often enough, will they contact you ...... ???

Cheryl xx

and no, I'm NOT referring to Howard Donald there!

Stevo Wright has just mentioned the Quo!

Has anyone else heard the start of their Chrimble song and thought ooooooh Play Away???

CtD - how divinely decadant! I'm not much of a sweet-tooth but if I do fancy chocolate, it's always in the mornings. Yum.

Norty x

I'm concentrating very hard now........ Tierry...

Damn he doesn't have my number!!!

Luv
Lyndyloo

Wanna go home now. Had enuff. That joke isn't funny anymore .....

One week today and it'll be Christmas Eve!

Thanks Diva for that nice thought about Christmas Eve a week today.

This time next week I'll be at the parentals probably listening to Nine Lessons and Carols, which is a tradition, peeling the sprouts and trying to calm my mother down. She's only got to cook for 7 but it might as well be 17 the fuss she makes!

Love her to bits though.

AliB

AAAaaaaarrrgh!!! where did all this work come from - only been out three hours!!!

Just skipped through the posts - barking the lot of you! That was a good one Mary!
Notice the sally bit is now missing from above post?

Need to lie down in a darkened room - called at my butchers on way back to office - no - not the turkey - picking that up next week!! How much!!! you will just so never guess but it did involve moving the knife further and further out on a bita beef earmarked for me!

Feed the birds P they are eating me out of house and home - getting through a huge bag of nuts a week. If anyone wants to know where all the sparrows are - they are in my garden! plus a zillion of their feathered friends.

Beesmum xxx

Advent 1 a teddy bear
advent 2 mouse ice skating with a pink frilly tutu on.

This one's mainly for Cheryl, also Jo and Phoenix.

https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPUespcblU

Not too much to be seen of our man CtD but when you do see him - what the heck is he wearing?! !

This explains why I was largely unmoved the first time around except for liking 2 or 3 songs. Definitely a case of a man who has improved with maturity - as with mr df come to that!

df

Ooh Beezer - you're right. BBC editorial policy?

df

hehe - either that df or sal would clock him one!!!

Wonder if James in work yet - usually here by now?

Bees xxx

By gosh Beesmum your right the whole bit has gone now..... someone up there certainly has the eraser out today.

Okay CtD no more teasing - honest.

Advent guesses:

Normal: present
Alternative: mouse wearing boots by a windmill

Derbyfi

My goodness a double Whammy Take That and Lulu.
I cant take anymore...
However if you were on Celebrity Blind date folks who would you choose and why?
Maximum words 20.


Bee I know what you mean it's a bit like animal watch here too with squirrels and foxes.


PP

Sorry for boots read clogs.




PS is the song started up in your heads yet.

More instalments from the bloggers christmas days tomorrow if I can

Perhaps Sally Traffic reads the blogs and was upset that her Rock Chick image has been shattered and told Chris to remove it.

It's quite funny, I'm sure Chris will explain later.

AliB
xx

just for you PP! :)

I'll think about that question you've posed and reply later............

df

Blind date deffo Clooney just to prove he's not "you know what"!!!

Bees xxx

PP

Russell Brand.

To give him a taste of his own Diva-ish behaviour and seize the opportunity to tame the beast!

CtD xx

PP

david tennant

To help rub his back better and to chat about his career to date

super bp x

PP

Mine would of been Elvis Presley as he was my hero when i was growing up.

Advent guess: Holly

M.xx

chat eh super_bagpuss ..... never heard it called "that" before hun !!!!

;-)

Would make a great TV prog though.

Celebrity chooses one of three members of the public behind a screen... The winner spends half a day doing something silly like extreme sports.

I'm not saying who I would choose I'll let you guess .

Talking of Guessing What is Gingembre's surprise. Could it be that table that all the Celebs carved their names in?


CTD Good Choice.


Right back to work of sorts.


PP

Wasn't that table at Tiggs's place of work?

A new initiative with clients I believe.

Tiggy - I've supported the company - have to go and collect my books from local store - a really good idea saves them getting wet when left on doorstep.

Cheers

PP

Just think of the fun to be had unbuckling all those buckley things!

Cheryl

Afternoon everyone,

Well first it took me an hour to dig out my drive way (normally takes me half an hour), then the drive to work. Why is it that poor road conditions bring our the worst in drivers....... Anyway, made it in without any incidents......

Hello Chris,

Party party! The thing about parties is, if you have too many too quickly, they become a normal night: just that thing you do after work. It's the gap between parties that makes parties, parties.

It's ok to have lots of parties this time of the year though: it wouldn’t be this time of the year, otherwise.

You've got our house all upcited about Christmas…..

Darth Vader says to Luke Sky Walker- "Luke, I know what you're getting for Christmas."

Luke replies- "you can't possibly know- how do you know?"

Darth Vader says, "I felt your presents".

Don't blame me, it's one of yours from the 90s!.

TVWx

Thank goodness for that James - you've made it! was worried an hour ago!!!!!!

Bees xxxx

Hi BeesMum, I appreciate your concern.... How have you been?

........hmm, not sure I like the idea of doing extreme sports PP - a nice posh dinner was more my idea! Could go for watching a sports event though - Lords Test match, FA Cup Final in an executive box, or similar?

If it was all action (of the sort you suggested!) that would mean I'd have to go for someone younger - but not someone too young who'd totally show me up! - rather than a more 'mature' man who might collapse and die on the date! Imagine how bad that would be!!

Still thinking................but keep coming back round to Mr H.

But do play the game and at least give us a clue to your choice - occupation or nationality maybe?

df

Spending loadsa money James oh yes and popping in on the odd client! Odd being the operative word in certain cases!

I think I would have given up digging meself out after half the time you took and dived back to bed!! Ever likely you're fit for your footie!!!

Bees xxx

.........another good choice would be Mr E of course - if you want a good laugh along the way.

Talking of whom - who d'yall reckon the guest(s) will be today? Or has it been announced and I've missed it? Aside from these posts I have actually been working since 8.15!

df

BeesMum, it's one of those things that if you don't do it now, it freezes and then becomes a sheet of ice and is then a real pig to clear. On top it all, if we are supposed to get more snow later in the week, well that just adds to the fun....... Not that I'm complaining......

Derbyfi - I think it's Scouting For Girls.

She's so lovely!!!

Hi Yall,

Looking forward to tonights show,it will be a wowzer if anything like last night.
Chez your advent mice have gone way up in my estimation afte Lyndloo,s guesses.
I gotta pay the homage and guess a sweet little lady mouse sitting on a high backed chair clad in a basque with all the trimmings,smoking a cigarette in on of those long holders, with a come hither look.

Michelle pffeifer for me ,saw here in a film last night and she seems to become more beautiful as she gets older,bit like our Beesmum.

JTT

Love Scouting for Girls..... no pun intended.

I love scouting for girls - pun fully intended!

LOL Nev!!

And why not Nev - a man has to have some fun in his life!

And James didn't fool us for a moment..........

df
