Oh dear Chris,

Four days of our waffle

Sorry

Rips

Oh heck Chris...4 days..?! See you about a week Thursday!

Feel better soon!

Night night everyone else!

mSc x

ARF - Timbuk3 - The future's so bright.

At least when you finally got to that 'one' pint last night you'll have felt like you earned it, and they always taste the best.

Nothing used to come close to an ice cold Guinness after having the living daylights beaten out of you for 80 minutes on the rugby pitch.

Rips

Chris

The only cure for it hurting tomorrow is to go out and do some more hard sport today!

Agree with Rips tho' 4 days of blog. Might not get to start the show on time tonight!

Damned and blast..that Rips beat me! Clodagh..you didnt tie him down very well did ya, did ya..?!

mSc x

Chris

Expect many tea/screen moments. I believe Beezer is in charge of screen wipes.

As those wise old Wham! boys said .... Enjoy what you do!

And good luck with the tv commercial tomorrow - look out for La Love of Da Blog - she be da gawjus one!

Poor you Christoph - you'll get a headache - 4 days - yikes!

Beezer xx

MSc Isn't that a conversation for post watershed?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psuc1B2cPfc

post again for those who missed it.

H x

Typical! Just as I post on t'other side a new blog pops up. So to recap, my ARF is Wham and Wake me up before you Go go and my calendar guess is a candle.

Ta ta Lin x

Meant to say Hells - brilliant stuff. Knew who santa was straight away though :)

Beez xx

Hi Hellen,

What a gorgeous video, I can't wait to show the nippers that one tonight.
Is Rupert still miffed about Terry nicking his scarf?

Good work - I shall of course down load it and not just watch it on ewetoob!!

Rips

Hey Scoobs........8^p xx

Thanks for sharing Hells - really lovely video.

Darce x

Oh CLP, four days worth of blog to read - you'll be needing another pint or two after that!

Did you get the fridge fixed?

Love the video Hellen - had to watch it without sound and try and imagine the tune - wasn't very successful, so will try again later!

Rips, are you OK?

JG x

Chris - Know that aching feeling well. It's age. Sorry but did you want the truth or something beautiful? No, that's not my ARF which is still I want to break free by Queen, even though I have eventually broken free. It's been a frenetic few days Chris, so good luck making any kind of sense over the last 4 days!
Off dancing in a bit - I have the shin pads ready...

Nic

Night Nic

Have a grand weekend and let's hope the shaking stops and that you're not coming down with flu or owt sinister.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep dancin'!

Deevs

Ooooh Chris, I am feeling your pain, you poor lad - hope it all eases soon. For the funny moments you might need to grab your aching sides during your 4 days worth of catching up, some of it is really funny!!!

Take care one and all and have a fab weekend - "oh no we won't!", "Oh yes we will!", see you all virtually next week.

Love 'n' stuff, Daisy xxxx

Just a thought, if the blog is back to normal now, Chris won't have a clue what's been going on the last couple of days. He'll think we're all nuts! Oh right.......we are!

Like yer say it shows up especially when yer try a new sport!!!!!!!

All a can say iz a 'ope yerv noot goot tennis elbow!!!!!!

Which brings me te rme ARF Choice, any chance of some Elbow & their throw the curtains wide number.... most nice on the ears!!!!!!!!!!!

CLP & ALLLLLLLL, 'ope yer all ave a most productive & friendly weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOURANGA TER ALL MAKING A RACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering, do my old "researcher" posts still show as "researcher" or are they me now - I can only see them as "you" - cos it will be a bit confusing otherwise...

I was also wondering if that made any sense at all?

JG x

Chris - are you doing the 'eeeee' and 'arararar's' as you stand up sit down, it helps you know, well according to t'other who is also suffering with all his cycling malarky!!

Don't get eye strain with all the catching up........

D'ya know I think it may be a fish 'n' chip kinda night.....

ebx

Hi JG

Both you and Nic are back to being yourselves in all the posts.

If you sign out you will be able to see your name against your post.

A xx

Bingo

What have I told you about saying the word "Birkenhead" in that lvoely accent of yours .....!?!?!

Deevs
x x x

See. I can't even trype today.

Hi JG, no you are back to Jakeygirl, to me at least. Who knows how the rest can see you.Watch this space!

Ta ta Lin x

Loved the video, obviously Sir Tel's decided the time was right to concentrate on his burgeoning pop career. Personally, I'd like him to make an album of cover versions, my suggestion being `Firestarter' by The Prodigy....

Chris - sorry mate, got no sympathy for you this time. If you're going around arranging matches with Grand Slam champions without knowing which end of the racket to hold, you only have yourself to blame! Next week, boxercise with Joe Calzaghe? :-)

ARF - East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed...absolutely no chance whatsoever though!

Andy_T..lol at your no.8 re my no.2! Glad youve managed to keep a sense of humour!

Hellen..thanks for the video..absolutely brilliant! Well done to everyone involved.

Right..this is not getting the post/cashing up done is it..

Greetings and salutations from an icy cold, succinctly crisp and almost disgustingly sunny Vancouver,

As we usher in the weekend and another week comes to a predictable close, I can but wish you all the finest of weekends.

Let us enjoy unrivaled tomfoolery, unbridled jocularity and all manner of advent inspired indulgences.

And remember, lord, ladies and gentlemen...One man's fish is another man's poisson...

I thank you.

Dr. T.

Well, I'm going to head off home, so I'll probably catch you later for FNWC

Have a good weekend

JG x

Chris, loved the video of the tennis, very funny, and you and Johnny definitely had a healthy glow by the end! Not surprised you're feeling it today, ouch I can only begin to imagine.

Hellen - the Silver Bells video is amazing, everyone looks so relaxed and happy, thank you.

Glad to see JG and Nic back to their rightful nomenclatures.

A x (Today resembling Rudolph, nose glowing like a lightbulb)

Jeayzus Lambie Pie yous'll lose the will to live if yous 'ave to trawl through 4 days a posts!!

Any road up. Never mind yous mincin' round like a cowboy in sandpaper trolleys an' wit the thumb in a splint after a game a bat an' ball, 'ow d'yous think WE feel after riskin' life an' limb, springin' innocent hostages from incarceration by Al QaeBeeba. Rips 'as a shiner, I've a bald patch an' a cauliflower ear, an' we've all got chafe marks an' carpet burns. So go sort that flippin' phone out quick, an' while you're at it, give the fridge a good welly.

Huh.

Deevs

Missed the ARF - What was it :-(

Does Beezer know?

Pen xx

And I thought I was onto a winner with my guess at the advent calender.

have a good weekend all.

Afternoon,

Chris I hope the aches and pains ease up soon, but bless you for all the money you've made xx

Well done Pen xx

Well the gas man has been and fixed my pump - so I am glad it was something offical and not just me being a ditz! He was right grumpy though, rolled his eyes at me, cause I'd kept him waiting all of 10 minutes. Basically ignored me for the first part of his visit and then got all chatty and get this (he looked a right bruser) but he said he had one of those slanket things that Tiggs was talking about - made me chuckle.

Down the church at the mo setting up for the Dickens Christmas weekend, well actually I'm not as I am blogging to you lot - so I best get on with it.

Have a good one folks.

Lots of love

Thunder, Hold on Tight to your Dreams, ELO

See Pen - if you were on fb you would have the recipe :o) I was going to do a curry .... spose I could do a couple as starters.

Beezer xx

Actually Beez, am on FB, don't ask me how or why, I only know how to play scrabble with one of my GD's. As for anything else, don't ask. Have acquired a 'few' friends don't even know how that happened, certainly wouldn't know how to request!!!

Pen xx

Thanks Penny

Pen - recipe is in clp bloggers under bloggers who cook. (I think )

Beez xx

Thanks Beez, I'll have a gander.

Pen xx

Hello Everybody

Well done Penny great ARF, had us dancing round the kitchen

Glad to see your all back to your real selves! Well done on the rescue job. Sorry I couln't help but I was on look out for you!

Will anyone believe me if I say I was going to guess a bauble? Only cos I guessed it yesterday & thought I'd stick with the same thing til it appeared? The thing is though, this it LITERALLY the first time I have been able to log in. Border guards are too strict at work & have spent the rest of the day sorting boys out to go to Scout camp tonight.

Hope you all have a good evening.

Mr Seza taking boys & I'm off to school Quiz night. Seems like a good plan to me!

Seza

Back home, eventually - note to self - do not try to drive through Tyldesley on a Friday night! I really should have learnt by now!

Well done Penny - good choice, was bopping along as best I could within the confines of the car.

Now, I still can't get this mousepad thing on the lappy working proper. It will move about ok, but won't do the scrolly thing on the RH side. Have tried almost verything and looked on goggle, but no help, so a plea to any IT-type peeps out there....HELP!!

In the meantime, I'm back in the garagy bit, but at least that's nearer the fridge, which is where the wine is..Yay!!

JG x

Seza - camping, in December - you must have some hardy specimens there! Either that, or, just a tad crazy?

JG x

JG Wouldn't like to say!!!

Diva

Bribe?

Me

JG, I'm no IT typee, but if you go to control panel and click on mouse, you might be able to sort it out. No promises but it might help you.

Greetings from Rudgwick.

I have to say that now as my name doesn't give it away.

Seems some people have been drawing names out of a hat in South Africa. Once upon a time, not that long ago, that would have been for the next lucky recipient of a 'necklace', but this is now, and this is football.

Turns out we're going to play the USA, I remembered that as a fair amount of my DNA comes from there, and someone else, and another team.

You know, I really can't get interested in this anymore. International football, that is. Don't get me wrong, I love footy. Played as a kid, badly, but I had a go, played even more badly as a teenager and then broke my ankle playing when I was 20. The message finally got through at that point and I hung up my boots. I support Fulham, as I have done all my life, although some would argue that isn't really football (I would remind them that we won a match in Europe last night and are 10th in the.....oh, you know), but these days the thought of watching these overpaid nancy boys pulling on the shirt of the country I can't get patriotic about simply leaves me cold. I was there in 96 cheering Gazza and the boys on as the whole nation went crazy for three lions, but something has changed since then. People often talk about the club v country thing, which do you have more passion for, and for me there is no contest. England to win the world cup or Fulham the FA cup? It is the Cottagers every time I'm afraid. I can't put my finger on what has gone wrong, may be it is me, but it probably comes back to money at the end of the day. Not just the obscene amounts paid to players, but the whole thing. Witness the world cup qualifying. With 'big name sides' failing to qualify by rights, what do FIFA do? Fix, sorry seed, the play-offs. I ranted a while back about Formula One and the constant 'tweaking' of the rules every time Bernie doesn't like something - sorry, the FIA feel it is appropriate - and it is now seeping into other sports so that the marketing men get their way and sell squillions more dollars of TV rights. Sorry, but it isn't right. Give me a bunch of lads in the park, with jumpers for goalposts, 'rush goalie' and 'next goal the winner' when it starts to get dark. That was real football. Well, it was in my day.

Sorry about that.

Peace + love

M (fR)

Have gorgeous little boys staying over tonight. Their parents have abandoned them to go to a party. Just arranging the midnight feast for the 7yr old (well he doesn't care what time it is as long as he gets his white chocolate fingers, crisps and ham sandwich). 9 yr old's midnight feast will take place a little later.

We adlibbed our way through it and pretended it was happening in the 'hotel'

Matt

I'm very happy with you being just Matt! And if you are happy, I'm happy!!

Hopefully some of the peeps with their full names showing might get some benefit, but I have to say, what are the Beeb up to? Apparently all caused by some bloke complaining about user names over 30 characters on some other site!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/12/bbc_id_name_change_to_30_chara.html

Hmmpphh!!

Researcher 13823163 had a certain ring to it!!

JG x

Chris, you were great on Top Gear, well done. Loved watching you talking to yourself! xx

For all of those enquiring after my sanity on the last blog.
I was merely joining in with the ' on the loose loons from earlier' who had me painted as a nose picking half-wit missing from a village that was looking for it's idiot!!!!
God knows how they had the imagination to arrive at that?!

For now I shall return to the comfort and warmth of my own usual brand of idiocy, density and specialness.
Harumph!

Keep up the wood gork.

Rips

Wotcha and bye for a bit - thought I had "one I made earlier" so faffed about on fb - now have to cook a curry from scratch! Nearly there though. Bums.

Must admit Matt - I like the direct approach too and as my fav cartoooonist is also... Suits you hon.

Anyone told Sus B yet? not nice her full name being here.

Crumpy - ad libbing - now why did that bring a huge smile to my face? I can just imagine!!

Next stage - getting hungry now grrrrr
Back inabit

Beezer xx

Beez, yep, sorted, Sus B wise!

I wish I could be more enthusiastic with me tea...

Well am damn well cooking it from frozen, so if I'm not here tomorrow...

JG,

Speaking as the most non domestic goddess you could ever find, (well you cant be good at everything) i think you will be ok. If your'e not, can i have first dibbs on your car please ?

MC x

Rips my friend.. I do hope you're not serious and I haven't caused a problem for you with my silliness; I would be most upset if I thought I'd caused offence. Really.

I am contrite. I only ever aim to lighten the mood but am the first to acknowledge it can go a little too far sometimes. I honestly thought you'd want to join in the wheeze but if it wasn't funny, you have my sincere apologies.
