Morning Simon



Firtly, fantastic show last night - think you should go "unplanned" a bit more in the future. Joyous ear candy indeed!



Secondly, when Rebecca goes on Maternity Leave are we going to get Geordie Steph doing the Business Brief? She caught me and Nic snogging outside the 02 at Chris's Bye Bye Drivetime, Hello Breakfast party and told us how many people read these blogs, including her and her colleagues, apparently.



So - hi Steph!!



Thirdly, are the modders going to mod everything that mentions "that" comedic pud?!? We had all sorts of probs when you did songs with foresign languages t'other week as it went against the Bloggery Rules.



Fourthly, money songs Day 4. Please please please please play



Mint Car - The Cure



(Royal Mint = money - see!!!!)



Sometimes I surprise myself with my own genius!



Love and indeed stuff



Deevs

morning everyone, btw! xx

apologeeeeees for the shocking typos. it wold appear my fingers are being glided across the keyboard with the aid of last night's intake of Sauv Blanc! xx

Morning all.



Blog suggests tenuous links are good for today, so I've tweeted "Banks of the Ohio" by ONJ. Simon shall reap what he sows :-)

Well, I can only put in my two'parth ha'penny with Alan Price and "Sell Sell" from the wonderful O Lucky Man film score.

Morning Simon, morning all



Okay, nobody else has done it so why don't I? How about playing "Money, money money" by Abba. Go on, you know you want to....



Deebee X

btw, thanks for yesterday's reminder of Anthony Phillips by Deevski - he's my new "Guitar friend" (high pitched voice and thumbs up a la The Inbetweeners, for those in the know) on a certain music library site. Down spot! (even got a VERY tenuous link to puds there...)

Simon,



Thanks for the mention yesterday. I haven't heard it yet but I will listen again later!

The thought going through my mind when you were speaking to the ticket winner was "I bet there are alot of football fans who entered this, who are a tad miffed, to say the least, that she doesn't even seem to like football!"...or maybe that's just me...

It seems to be pun central today on money related songs, so I will get my punhead on...

My nan always used to refer to spotted dick as dotted richard, as she thought it was rude. Also, my grandad was called richard/dick even though everyone called him Arthur!! No, nor me...



Nic

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



First of all can I just point out that CORNISH DARREN FEWINS has not bee mentioned all week, which should finally put to bed the DAZMON speculations. (Despite a pile of the songs CDF has requested has been played).



GWEN STEFANI - RICH GIRL



(Failing that how about the song it was sampled from "IF I WERE A RICH MAN by CHAIM TOPOL)







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)

As we can be tenuous, how about RUPEE DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN by KENNY ROGERS?



Cheers,



Kev

A wonderfully good morning to everyone, I hope all of your days are full of delicious loveliness, and woundrous new excitements and enchantments. I appear to be in an ebullient and zestful humour today, I really dont know why, but if we are all lucky, perhaps it will soon pass.

To the point, however.

"Change" by , well, loads of people, but I suggest Tears For Fears.

I also feel a tad rebellious, so, Spotted Dick! Lets test the water, eh?

Can we hear it for those erstwhile European currencies



Franc Black or Mark Almond



I thank you.

Anything by (Deutsche) MARK King or (French) FRANC Sinatra...

#8 CDF has finally lost it - he's speaking about himself in the third person...:-)

KatyMac I'm based in Lansdowne...

Simon,



Dinar's a Punk Rocker - The Ramones?

Our Franc - Morrissey?

Rial Around The Fountain - The Smiths?

Rubles rubles rubles rubles - Kaiser Chiefs?



Tenuous enough?



Nic

As stones of some value, I think Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby is probably a qualifer anyway :-)

Stone Roses - Fool's Gold?



Nic

Or, regarding the Greek economy (they do nice desserts too!) - how about "Rip It Up (And Start Again)" by Orange Juice? (Ed Collins was on the Beeb this morning too)

Hi Ho Silver Lining?



Nic

Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer?



Nic

Hey little rich girl by the Specials if it hasn't already been suggested... hard to keep up with the week-long themed or The Clash Bankrobber. More tenuous suggestions to follow...possibly...

So then, puns is it?

"You've Got The Love" by Florins and the Machine

"Shilling Love Songs" by Wings

"Lilangeni In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera...or... "Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Agui-lira

Morning Simon and fellow bloggers,



Feeling a smidge sad today, just had to despatch of one of my chickens as she has been quite poorly and didn't look like she would recover. Very hard for me as she was quite a character and very tame. What a wooss I am!



Never mind,... Simon I would love to hear Charlie Rich singing "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" as my daughter has just turned 18 and is just that! (Takes after her mother!!!!)

#23 Tongue was firmly in cheek when I made the comment in brackets!

No need to be coquettish (sorry!)

#25 Is that mash potato in bread crumbs?



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)

#26 better ask Kev, he probably had it for breakfast

#25 :)

#26 :)

Anybody having SPOTTED DICK for tea?



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)

#23 Did you despatch the chicken in a lorry?....sorry! :-)

Paul Mc Cartney's 'Pound is sinking'. it doesn't get more topical than this.

#23 Sorry mcw, that must have been hard.

You lot are so lovely, making me smile.



It wasn't nice Spike, but I couldn't let her wait until Mr Mcw come home from work and do the deed. Besides he's almost as daft as me when it comes to animals.

Now only got three chooks, I'll have to change my user name if any more perish!



And then there were three....sounds like a good Genesis album!

#30 I won't be having anything Darmon, as I have a blood test tomorrow morning so cannot eat for 12 hours beforehand. I am tempted to have a whole 12" pizza 30 minutes before the deadline, however!

Simon



Yesterday at 18.05 you played Money by the Flying Lizzards.



Howzabout today at 18.05 you play Money by the Beatles.



(sorry nic!)



Deevs



x

Or Can't Buy Me Love - One of the few Beatles songs I like!



Nic

Could we have "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers, please.



Gordon Brown was the Chancellor and he's certainly strangled our economy!



Thanks Simon



Tortie x

Satire lives on the blog :-) Starting the stop-watch.........now!

#39 LOL



So, if we're to be obtuse....how about "EUROpa and The Pirate Twins" by Thomas Dolby......

#40 Shhh - I think the Mods are at lunch!

Am I too late to suggest anything by Florins and The Machine?

#39 - You get my vote Tortie!



Nic

#44 Ay thang you!



I heard it playing whilst I was enduring some physio and to take my mind off the pain, I started thinking about how to get it on today's show.

The blogpoppets are really on form today!



Sorry to hear of your loss mcw. I am a big softy when it comes to animals too. Which is why I could never keep anything you can eat.

#46 roast goldfish anyone? With micro chips and petit pois?

#46. I agree, but also, I'm a bit greedy, which is the other reason why I cant keep anything edible (for very long anyway)

#39 that's so clever - it's a must play!!! And a mensh...

#47. Surely you mean Nuclear fish'n silicon chips

mcw - forgot to say sorry for the loss of your chicken. I agree with Deebee - only keep things that can't be eaten. Although I'm sure in some parts of the world cats are eaten :-(

anything by UB40....dole claim form from way back....desperate tenuous link lol

#51 actually, thinking about it - we used to have gunea pigs, which are a delicacy in parts of South America. And they eat dogs in Korea...:-(

How about Change(s) by David Bowie?

#53 Let's leave out The Human League and Fine Young Cannibals eh?

I ate a snake once....

Ok, so that's a lie but I just adder tell you...

Transvision Vamp "pay the ghosts"

Etta James "pay back"

DON'T PESO THE FERRYMAN by CHRIS DE BURGH pls...

You lot... What are you like? Cheering me up no end!



Love the Golden Brown suggestion, one of my favourites. The link to our unelected PM taints it somewhat. Seems he prefers to forget that he was Chancellor for far too long! Shant say any more!

"7000 dollars and you" Stylistics

Kathleen Edwards "I Make The Dough, You Get The Glory", tenuously financial and a potential closer into BobH Country.

FRANC EE By SISTER SLEDGE?

Drachma! by Erasure

"Raise My Rent" - David Gilmour from the first album.



Talking of which, who remembers that EMI-mid-price label called Fame, where the word "Fame" appeared across the corner of the album cover?



It was used to re-issue debut albums on mid-price if I remember correctly. I had this album on the label, and also Queen I as well.



Anything that reduced EMI prices was good news - back catalogue stuff on EMI labels always seemed to be £1 more than any other label. So Queen, Pink Floyd etc were £5.99 when bands on other labels were £4.99.

I remember Billy Bragg albums back in the 80's with "Pay no more than £2.99 for this album" stamped all over them!



Nic

#66 So it was YOU stamping all those albums!

I've got an album released by the Beggars Banquet label which has a sampler track from their stable of artists. The album is called One Pound Ninety Nine - guess how much it cost!!



Deevs

x

#68 £2.00?



Anyone remember the "V" Sampler album from Virgin, with Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream, Kevin Coyne, Henry Cow, etc...?

#68 99p?

#69 - The first 2 I have heard of but you could well have made the last 2 up...!



Nic

#70 *calls KenJude to the rescue*

#14

Kev Tricky

Sorry - been and gone and come back - THEN I saw your reply. Will FB message you.



So - once again Top blogging PoppetsoftheMayokind - I keep missing the fun in a joining in way - but it's great to read when I get back from my travels.



Commiseratory stuff for demised fowl :(

Sorry to have been out of touch - anybody miss me?

Actually "changed sides" last night - went up to Broadcasting House to be part of the auduience for the Radio4 show "Counterpoint"

#70

Nic- you're a mere stripling obviously too young to have heard of:



Kevin Coyne - brilliant blues guitar and vocalist - sadly no longer with us



Henry Cow - I *think* were quite leftfield as we say nowadays - meaning Proggy

Hi Rev!



I haven't been here either - but no-one seems to have missed me.

I tweeted this on Monday - does that count



I refer to Brass In Pocket

#76 Hi Katy - it just carries on doesn't it? But where's the pastoral care I say!! Sorry about the chicken.....MCW....

Better do some work......

Can't halp with Henry Cow Spike, that's new to me.

#80 Sigh -a+e

Cornish agaaiinn!!!

#72 Me too, KatyMac. I feel like I'm risking summary dismissal everytime I log on at work. Still, it's good to feel part of the blogpoppetness even if it's not always easy to post.

#77 I think you can cetainly claim a moral point Katy. I made a claim yesterday for a moral point for After The Goldrush :-)

Just got in, what have I missed?



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)

Guess what I am having for tea?



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)

#86 I suppose "spotted dick" would be too obvious an answer...?

Crikey, "Wishing Well". Almost feels like an ARF!

# 85 Your tweet of wisdom got read out...Cornish Darren...

Four days on money was way too much, I couldn't get into it at all. Am I bothered??

#90?



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)

Masterchef exhilerates and frustrates in almost equal measures.



MayoBlessPoppetBlogsters delight 100%.

#90 .... off topic post alert



spike- I KEEP missing it [masterchef]- so annoying, as in, the fact that I keep missing it , and the fact that THOSE TWO [they call them Toad & Shrek, yes?) have become caricatures of their former selves and I'm actually beginning to hate them. Why o why aren't YOU on the show???



Confused of South Wilts

#90 really meant #92

Spike, you should check out Australian Masterchef. Totally different formulae. and the amateur chefs are actually given lessons . Much better, I think. It is getting towards the ebd of its run, now, but if you can, I'd still give it a go. You should have seen the faces when three of the contestants were told they had to make croquembouche to stay in the competition.

I wish the voiceover woman would learn some new lines.



I'm sick of her telling me the contestants have been on their feet for 6 hours, but are they finished for the day? Oh no!

#95 Cheers mate, will give it a blow this arvo cobber.

#93 I'm working on it, believe me! 2014 target!

Aaanywaay, a very GOOD MORNING to one and all. I wonder if today will be another tumbleweed Friday. It'll be helped along if the blog works correctly this time. Cant pop in and out much today, and might be too late for the ARF blog later, so I will have to tweet again. Today I will be mostly requesting "Rebecca" by Robin Gibb. I wonder why?

Good luck, Foxy. (Can we still call you Foxy)

100?
