Hello Simon



Please can you start the show with



It's My Aeroplane by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers



Lovin' the show!

Hi Simon and Bloggers



I'd just put this on the previous blog and then noticed there was a new one, but also KatyMac and I had both chosen Airport by The Motors, thanks.



Getting my haircut tonight so will have to listen to the Confession and the Nigel on iplayer later. I haven't had fish fingers for years, so will be interested to hear what he does with grown up ones.

who still hasn't been able to do much with Twitter except read tweets!

Good Morning Simon - if you can't face it as an opener, please play "LEAVING ON A JET PLANE" by Peter, Paul and Mary - in doing so you would make an old man very happy whose birthday is tomorrow.

Back to sermon....I do work hard you know Simon....but I like to blog in between things....and keep in touch with the other Mayo Muppets...

Tortie



Fish-finger sandwiches - can't beat 'em! White bread, and with lots of vinegar and ketchup.



Delish!

Aaagh - getting complicated now



most of our requests in other blog - including time guesses

So ...

I'll C&P my last post just for YOU KEV!



"OK Kev - as you're 'into ' organised communicatoriness eg. tweetdeckory ..



.. how's about keeping tabs on our time guesses - a simple spreadsheet mayhap?"

Any tips for a sermon on Philippians 3 about "Pressing on as a Christian"?

#5 food chat



I can't 'do' breadcrumb coated stuff inside a sandwich or roll - it's too ... er ... BREADY

Morning all



I tweeted for "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller and "Learning To Fly" by the Pink Floyd.



In the interests of conservation of the world's stock of tweetable keystrokes, the quality control committee rejected Starship Troopers and Space Truckin' before submission:-)

Hi Simon,



PAPER PLANE by STATUS QUO as a opener please! They received their OBEs this week so a nice tie-in.



For a handover song to Whispering Bob, how about LEARNING TO FLY by TOM PETTY?



Thanks, Kev

Tortie



If you can see your homepage on Twitter [the one that has the feed of tweeters you are following] - you should have a box at the top of the page headed 'What's happening?' and the number 140

I really should read Simon's foreword before putting in my requests, shouldn't I? Mind you, my excuse is that I tweeted PAPER PLANE at 7:25 this morning, 2 minutes after SImon's first tweet of the day.



I think I need help...

#6 - The spreadsheet is set up, with everyone's timed guesses that have appeared here so far...

Ooooh can I add



Spaceman by Babylon Zoo to the pot - not heard that for ageeeeeeeeeees!

#12 Help on hand brother....

Morning all, anything by Wings would suffice I guess...but a more sensible suggestion to follow...

Hi all





#10

Kev I'm with you on the handover song.



Learning to Fly Tom Petty



payre

Or we could go for Pickin' On Tom Petty & heartbreakers A bluegrass tribute

Learning to fly



payre

Thanking you Kev - I was sorta jokin' but if you some time on your hands ... !



As Paper Plane is gonna be the opener - I reckon ...



5.21 Airport - Motors



Just before the Drivetime that tells me that the A303 is closed and I can't get home ..

Dear Simon Frewins aka "Pilot of the airwaves" ( see what I did there ?)



..once I have had a wee thunk, I'll get back to you.



Mornin' all. ( said very quietly Brandy Mac.... )



TricketyBroo ( seemingly )

#19 - I never joke about spreadsheets Katy - ;-)



Your entry is in there. What's the prize for the correct answers?

Almost right there Blogpoppeteers, but please play "Learn To Fly" by The Foo Fighters Simon/CDF!!!



And perhaps "Put The Message In The Box" by World Party from the "Goodbye Jumbo" album



(see what I did there, geddit, nudge nudge, arfsk arfsk....)

#20 don;t you mean Dazmon, or perhaps SiRen, a la Jedward? ;-)

Any of you listen to Mark Knopfler's latest - "Get Lucky" - some beautiful, haunting tunes. Now I know you used to like Dire Straits Simon as you introduced me to them....why not play a track or tweo on the show? Please, for old times sake?

#21/22 sorry, that's at 6:53 please ExcelTricky...

#24 - Rev, you've hity the nail on the head. How about MARK KNOPFLER and JAMES TAYLORs song SAILING TO PHILADELPHIA, for the Mason Dixon line references, woudl be a godd handover song too.



#25 - Duly noted, squire!

#26...and I know it's not anything to do with air travel, but nowadays they woudl sing Flying to Philadelphia!

I'm listening to "Get Lucky" as I work - it is absolutely brilliant...but no refrences to air travel yet sadly....

Morning Mr Mayo-Frewin,



Please could you play TYPICAL TROPICAL - BARBADOS.... or the one I really want, but bet you don't play ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK with ENOLA GAY.



Thanks, Mcw x

Oh what a beautiful tune "Montelone" from Get Lucky - a real bloke's song about a guy working in his workshop....GET ON SPOTIFY NOW FOLKS AND LISTEN!

Apropos of absolutely nothing......Darren Frewin throws up some mighty interesting anagram possibilities.....



Has anyone seen them in the same room?

SIMON - that's "LEARN TO FLY" by THE FOO FIGHTERS,



LOVE THE SHOW!

What about



10cc _ I'm Mandy, Fly Me



payre

John Denver's Leaving on a Jet Plane would be a good old country fav to hand over to the legend of Harris :)

Then there's always Virginia PLANE...but that was played last night and is mispelt by me for non-comedic purposes :)

Anything by ELO as they were on the Jet record label.....

Rocket Man by Elton John anyone???

Final suggestion for the mo, Wings with Jet...following on from the Trickster's post :)

#37 With you there m_g, suggested it first thing Monday, so shared name call accepted Darren!!!

Hi Simon

How about WHEELS AINT COMING DOWN by SLADE

My think has been thunked,



U2's "Take me to the clouds above"...ticks both boxes.



Darren, love the show..





Tickety

Fly me to the moon by Mr Sinatra would be nice too...

Well, I have to request the most underrated guitarist this side of Frewindom.....



THE AMAZING.....



Mr PRESTON REED's



"INSTRUMENT LANDING"



(available on all good video request websites, and some rubbish ones as well.....)

Warm Thursday Morning greetings to – 634Salan, Alison from Eastleigh, Anthony in Rugby, BabyDriver, Brenda, CherylTheDiva, Deebee9, Emily, Flourishing, Helen May, Jason Issacs, Jeff, KatyMac, Ken Jude, Kev TrickyTree Williams, Kidteeth, MadChickenWoman, Miklad, MissToeDipper, MobileToothFairy, Music_Geek, NicRolastic, Paul of Sheffield, Payre, PoshSoulLady, PurpleDragon, Rev David Marshall, SparkleSparklyTinsel, SylviaB88, Thunderclap, Ticketyboo, Tortie-cat, ,... and somebody who rarely makes a post, Spike!



Real competition on who gets first mensh today given I also tweeted Simon 12 minutes after his tweet and suggested Paper Plane.



My new suggestion was going to be Enola Gay, but the madchicken beat me to it, then I was going to go for a bit of Foo but thats gone as well.

How about:



"FLY AWAY" by Lenny Kravitz

or

"DANGERZONE" by Kenny Loggins

or

"WONDERFUL" by Colin Blunstone



They should be obscure enough not to be played.





Hey up TrickyBroo.







Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you) and the listeners. KERNOW BYS VYKEN

Selfless Darren, selfless.

TrickBroo - That's what I had this morning at work, as the boiling water urn's fuse had blown...*reaches for coat*

#45 Dank u veddy mutch.

Good Morning CDF- by all means suggest Enola Gay, I would love to hear it. Think I called you Mr Frewins this morning rather than Mr Fewins- apologies for that! Looking forward also to hearing Dangerzone on the programme tonight. It's the Rev's Birthday tomorrow, I know he would love a mensh!



Mcw x ;-)

Jefferson Airplane anyone?

Tch Tch

Simon stealing ideas from Bryan Burnett who's themed programmes 'Get It On' have been running at drivetime on BBC Radio scotland for years now with an avid blog and facebook following. If you're stuck for themes I'm sure Get It On's back catalogue could give you hundreds.



Me, i'll wait for themes on Emotion, the morning or disappearing acts so I can request Gone Forever / Cry Before dawn as Simon was the only one I ever heard play it circa 87 I think.

I wonder if Cornish Simon might just consider ...





NIGHT FLIGHT - PENTANGLE





I said it here first - I think

right, blogpeeps - off to do lunch, then read up on Microsoft Project 2010. My enjoyment knows no boundaries - speak later!

How about:



"DANIEL" by Elton John?



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you) and the listeners. KERNOW BYS VYKEN

TWA - Ted Hawkins.

If that gets played, I'll show my behind in Burton's window...



Nic

I would also like 'Leaving on a jet plane' by Peter Paul and Mary. I know it's corny but...

I was initially very sad about Chris moving to the morning but I think you have more than filled his shoes

Thanks

Alice

#53 Lets hope Simon has picked the records before 12:23.

Darren - #52 already tweeted by me and DB9 - last night about 9 hours before Simon tweeted.



Having said that I wouldn't mind hearing Space Oddity - David Bowie instead.



'usual pleasantries'



mtd ffb xxx

..are we about to get Sladed again ??

Hi Simon

Some time during the show could you pleae play:- Bob Dylan : Jet Pilot

Fantastic song from the master.

Love the show, keeps me company on the way home from work.

John

Afternoon - busy morning resourcing humans. I didn't even manage to sneak on here earlier to put in my request. Just as well I tweeted it last night (see #56).



However...I didn't hear the whole show yesterday (I know - on my way to the Rev's confessional right now), but am I right that Simon played my song (Marrakesh Express) but failed to give me a mensh? In which case, as misstoedipper and CDF have already had more than their fair share, by rights it should be my turn today.



So: Simon, please can we have Daniel by Elton John.



Deebee9 (or just call me Deebee if you like!) X



PS Squabble? We don't squabble...

Oh yes we do

well - you lot do. I don't.

#60 #61 oh no we don't

Now now children....what's the interesting politically correct (don't you hate that expression?) phrase? A full and frank discussion??

Sorry Simon - I will have to miss the start of your wonderful show...I've been summoned to see the Bishop....

#64 are you in trouble for blogging when you should be writing sermons?

#65 This might be an oldie as it feels familiar but is blogging sermons known as a Slog?



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you) and the listeners. KERNOW BYS VYKEN

#65 Noooo....sermon written!! Which is amazing to have it finished on a Thursday!! Think it is something else....

#67 maybe you're about to get a promotion

Hang on a minute....silly me......cars have radios right? The programme is DriveTime right?? My appointment is 4pm....so...I should be on the road when the Great Man kicks off with LEAVING ON A JET PLANE...shouldn't I? What a clot I am!



Sorry Simon - Revster in good order and promises to listen to show whilst on route from Bishop[ having completed sermon and preparation for awkward evening tonight and even tidied his study up a bit....

#68 Promotion usually means more responsibility in the Church but I guess that's true for most walks of life...

Hey Rev, I've had a thought. As Simon has now brought back Confessions, maybe the next thing he should do is bring back your slot. I'd be happy to be your assistant and carry your notes.... ;-)

#71 That would be great! Being able to dispense all that forgiveness on air.....there must be lots of tortured souls out there....I mean I've already sent in my first confession...wonder if it will ever get to the airwaves?

#66 - perhaps it's a Blermon?

ooh - I can hear Simon's voice now ...



".. and at quarter past the hour we'll be revving up for the Rev .."



*starts petition to get the Rev DM onto Drivetime. Hopes CDF can exert his .. ahem..

influence *

Nice one Kev....

#73 - Don't be silly, that's a cat...



Nic

#74 where do I sign?

I'm not what you would call a religious chap but maybe the Rev's first comment of the day should be a "Blog Grace" to give thanks for show and the blog and our health, etc.



#68 (This is not a joke btw), what happens when the pope gets promoted?



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods, the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you) and the listeners. KERNOW BYS VYKEN

#74 Do you think they would build me a little confessional box...in the corner....

#55 See the way Simon deflected us there? Tsk Tsk.

I don't think a petition works or is needed. Surely the Rev has the most amount of influence out of all of us given who he often has a chat with?

#78 They have a funeral for him and appoint the next Pope, I think. But then I'm not a Catholic so I could be wrong.

# 78 Darren, I think we should apologise for any slur we might have cast on your esteemed name....are us sure you're not the Pope in disguise??? (retreats hurriedly....sounds of muttering..."mea culpa mea culpa"...)

#82 That's right Deebee - unlike an Archbishop in our church who can (and has to ) retire...the Pope goes on forever...until he falls of whatever it is he sits on. I felt that Pope John Paul 2nd should have been allowed to retire, battling as he was with Parkinson's...incidentlayy I have met him...I blessed him in 1998 and France went on to win the World Cup!!!!

All quiet on the Blogging Front.....(proceeds to execution or promotion)

#82 It has to be the only job where being promoted involves your own funeral, (unless you guys know otherwise).

#83 I think we should have a look at the colour of smoke coming out of the top of Broadcasting house.

#87 Just pop your head out of the window then......

#88 Love it Spikey...love it....

Really am going now.....catch you all later

Simon - whoever you are - please play "The Ability To Swing" from Thomas Dolby's fine album...



"AILERONS ATE MY BUICK"



*see what I di.........coat please*

#88 cough, cough

See how CDF cleverly puts "the host, myself" juxtaposed in his valedictory?



My case is tired.



Rest, case.

enjoy the growdey up fish fingers Darren, I mean Simon...

#93 You simply need to love yourself Spike, thats all.

I'm severely allergic to fish so if you hear the host saying yum yum, you know its not me.

SW now playing Shirl's Diamonds are forever. Anyone heard David McAlmont's version ?

#96



Well he WOULD say that, wouldn't he, being as it's radio ..



DISCLAIMER:

I am distancing myself from all the conspiracy theories Darren, funny as they are 'specially when playing catchup on the blog in the early hours ... I don't for one minute believe that you are in any way shape or form Simon's alter ego ..









oops - minute's up :)

#95 I do thanks, Simon, you simply need to love pike, that's all



;-)



#97 No, but I love his voice when at its best; will check out



*thinks, where can I check it out?....*

#97



Can't say I have, Ticketybooboo, which is why I didn't say I had, which is the same as saying I have not.



David McAlmont? New to me - so will explore further ...
