Morning Simon and all Blogpoppets



I'm glad you're feeling a tad better today, Simon. If it's any consolation, apart from sounding slightly husky, you managed to hide your cold very well.



Song choice for today - "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" - The Clash.



Back later



Tortie x

"red light spells danger" Billy Ocean

Morning Simon



Probably NOT the best career move to sneeze all over Kim Cattrell, although it did wonders for me when an incredibly rude woman pushed in front of me at an open-air Will Young concert at Newmarket Racecourse. I sneezed violently. She moved. Served her right!



Need some advice today so I've sent you a Homework Sucks, if you would be so kind .....



Midweek mosh. Hmmmmm. Howzabout



Inside - Stiltskin



And as for election songs, who did The Politics Of Dancing back in he 80s?

STAND DOWN MARGARET by THE BEAT please SneezySi ;-)

#4 No problemo - how about stuffed tomatoes (pork mince, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, cheese and herbs) ;-)

#3 0 It was Re-flex Deevs. i asked for that on Monday, and it's a good idea to ask again now. Therefore, my vote goes to;



THE POLITICS OF DANCING by RE-FLEX

Morning All,



Glad that you are feeling a bit better today, Simon.

Well done Nic, 2 menshes together, and he even said the Tim Booth bit!



Spike, I will apologise to you in advance regarding my election song choice today, as I know you are not Bryan Ferry's biggest fan, but I would like to hear:

In the office today, so more of chance to make some comments than the last couple of days.



Given none of my choices were played again yesterday, I have decided to run the risk repeating myself. Again.

#14 somehow I can;t see the BBC playing Jilted john in the current climate - there would probably be claims by the Labour party of being biased against Golden Brown...

#13 Tooooooooo slow Mr Williams.



Quick and the dead.

#8 Roxy are great - it's the crooner Biryani Ferret that annoys....;-)



# 11 There are good people who can help you with this problem.....

#15 Given what Golden Brown is and given the goverment are ignoring the substance misuse professionals, I would be suprised if they were that biased against it.



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)

Hmmm, neck on the block time ... Auntie Beeb IS biassed towards Gordy, IMO.

LITTLE LIES - FLEETWOOD MAC

#19 Mr Mcw and I came to that conclusion especially a couple of weeks ago after listening to Any Answers on R4.

Paul, you forgot WHAT YOUR PROPOSING also by STATUS QUO.

#19 + #24 Mr Tortie and I were only saying they weren't whilst watching the 10 o'clock news last night - do you think the radio transmissions are possibly more biased than TV?

#25 Well spotted that woman. Another one also, but which I asked for yesterday. However, seeing as Deevs has suggested political colour, I thought I'd cut and paste yesterdays requests in here:





Political (spectrum) songs:



'Forever Yellow Skies' by The Cranberries.



'Blue For You' by Status Quo.



'Blood Red Roses' by Uriah Heep



'Blue Pastures' by James



'Yellow' by Coldplay.



'Red' by Heaven 17



'It's Not Easy Being Green' by The Muppets (Double Whammy there)



'Green' by The Dandy Warhols.



'Rainbow Blues by Jethro Tull (trying to slip this past Tortie, who seems to be nearby.)

Big Yellow Taxi (for Clegg) - Joni Mitchell



x

Morning All (In best Richie Benaud voice),



MCW - Finally Tim Booth gets a mention on R2 then! Will listen back later as I missed it!

Spike - Have to agree with Deevs on cold soup - it's just not right.

My suggestion for today - Hue and Cry - Labour of Love.



Nic

Morning all, glad you're feeling better Simon.



I have no more ideas, so I can only reiterate my previous suggestions:



"No more heros" Stranglers

"Politik" Coldplay



Deebee X

How about STAND AND DELIVER by ADAM AND THE ANTS?

How about "My guy's mad at me" by "Tracey Ullman"?





(Remember the video?)



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)

Has anybody suggested "Revolution" by "The Bealtes" yet?



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)

Please Simon NO BEATLES. Vastly over-rated. Ray Davies wrote much better songs than any of that lot!



Nic

#34 Wash your mouth out with carbolic boy!!!



Cornwall - Here I come!!!! (But don't tell Ben!)

Enjoy, Spike! Safe journey.

Have fun Spikeydoodles!



I'm off out for a couple of hours to see a (wo)man about a job!



Deevs

#37 It is not the role of the "Emmet" to have fun in Cornwall.

It is the role of the "Emmet" is to cause traffic jams, leave fag ends on the beach and eat Ginster's Pastys, (which are not proper pastys).



(I'll tell you how to make a proper Pasty Dreckly me 'ansome).

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)

#38 Fret not CDFMSDOSINSM, this Emmet will be in and out in 36 hours, doesn't smoke and thinks Ginsters' are rubbish.

@38I'm waiting to hear about me hoggy!(Tiddy 'oggy for me, though!)

#38 - wasn't it the role of the Emmet to create a fuel source capable of propelling a DeLorean to 88mph in order to ensure the longevity of the McFly family?

#38 I thought they were there to boost the economy....shows how much I know about it!

#38 - and where would you be if the Emmet didn't visit Cornwall - tourism wiped out, job losses by the thousand....sorry, feeling a bit confrontational this afternoon after a particularly difficult meeting this a.m. :-)

Sorry Spike but just don't get all this "treat the Beatles as some kind of deity" stuff - always been a rebel me!



Nic

#44 Best stay away from any corner flags, then.

I've just outed Nic, via a tweet, I think.

Back to it, sees yous laters.

#47 Ah, is that what you meant Paul. I thought you were in competition with Simon for the random tweet of the day award. Thanks for clarifying :-)

#45 No, I think they also did some mediocre stuff, but anyways, horses/courses etc...



Now, where's me hiking boots?

Cripes, two 50's in a row *



adjusts gloves, tamps down wicket and awaits Doosra*

#51 well played Sir!

How about "Making your mind up" by Bucks Fizz



(I never, ever, ever, ever thought I would request a Bucks Fizz song on the radio)

#44 Seeing as the English politicians decided to destroy the mining industry, (not just the coal up North but also the tin and copper and pewter, etc in Kernow), you are quite right that without tourism we would be paddle-less in our canoe. However, I know Brussel Sprouts are nutirtionally good for me, still hate the sight of them.



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)

#3 Tempted to say that incredibly rude people pushing in front at a Will Young concert is a bit of a result :-)



Afternoon all. Can't think of any new additions so will repeat the request for "Take The Money and Run", assuming playing it wouldn't be a career threatening move!

#55 BTW, I mean that in a musical sense rather than any other sense that might cause offence i.e. Out of earshot = better. To these ears anyway.



(Turns off hole-digging mode and gets back to work.)

Paul,



I have been described as many things but never, until today, duplicitous. I really, really, really am not that keen on The Beatles. Now JAMES, that's a different matter altogether!



Nic

...all new members are pre-moderated...so now 3 months being a member and a week with a name change is considered "new"...!!

ooh, could this be a hat trick for the Wombles?

I only pop in for 2 minutes and you're mis-behaving!



Are you all being extremely contentious, or are the Wombles being overly diligent this afternoon?

Now we are all awaiting moderation...!!!

Get up, Stand up by The Wailers.







What's wrong with the blog?



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 I'm packing for my Road Trip (technically a Track Trip, I guess), can someone please put in my STAND DOWN MARGARET request for tomorrow, if it doesn't get an airing today? Blessyoupoppets!

it's a bit ground hog day this Blog theme...four days of the same topic and politics at than yawn....not sure if we are to repeat previous unplayed suggestions? :-(

what's going on?

Wassup Wombles?! Chillax!

Elvis and JXL " a little less conversation"

It's all this talk of emmets and grockles. Maybe one of our overseers hails from that part of the world. Darren, are you really Great Uncle Bulgaria?

How about Rip it Up (and start again) by Orange Juice?

Are we back to normal now? Was that a Work Experience modder being shown the ropes?



Blinky Blimey!



x

How spooky - Dale's playing Edwyn Collins A Girl Like You now - that's my choice out then!

Now how did we miss this song?

Well done Paul, Simon played one of your Quo suggestions! (Break the Rules)

Oh noooooooooooooooooooo. I remember a certain Thierry Henry promising his lifeblood to Arsenal, pledging allegience for life blah blah blah and then 3 months after "that" interview he was offski.



Cesc, Don't Do It!!!!!



Deevs

x

James Taylor for the closing song tonight please Simon



Txhanks



Tortie

ooh my choice!

Sorry



That random x should have been after Tortie not in the Thanks!



Tortie x

have you voted for JT Tortie? I did!

Henry had spent much of the previous season on his backside on the turf and/or shrugging his shoulders after the pass he desired wasn't quite placed onto the sixpence he had positioned indicating where he wanted it.



Selling was good business for Arsenal at the time, and if Van Persie hadn't been clouted while on foreign duty back in the Autumn I doubt Arsenal fans would be thinking about Henry these days as they would have been ahead of Chelsea, IMO. They've been really unlucky with the injuries, and they've been robbed by referees who refuse to give them cast-iron penalties, three in two games (Cup and League) v Stoke for example and there are plenty of others.



All IMO of course.

JT for me too.

no Level 42 on the show? Come now....

Ken



You speak my language! Arsenal for the League!



Deevs

x

well done CDF! Great choice! wouldnt agree with best intro to a rock song tho!

Did you know Ashley Hutchings discovered Nick Drake? I could bore you with how it happened one day if you're not careful!

#81 He never plays Level 42 Kev - I don't think he likes them.



Missed most of the show today - combination of shopping/dog walking/talking to Mr Bee on the phone. He works away from home during the week, and he always manages to phone me in the middle of Simon's show. You'd think he'd know better...



I did hear Nic and Kev got a mensh though - well done! Again!

Nic heard Nic tonight - huzzah!



x

meatloaf on one show, sat next to Gyles Brandreth!

#85 You obviolusly missed Level 42 tonight then Deebs - Something About You...

#57. Didn't mean to offend, Nic, I was meant to be pointing out that I spotted Nicludicrouslylongname on this blog,and Nicrealname on Twitter were one and the same, and therefore the two people that got consec. menshes yesterday, were actually only one. (I mainly agree about The Beatles, but not quite entirely)

#88 Really? How ironic - I've been asking for that for the ARF opener for weeks. Now what am I going to do?

#84 Covered him in what? (Be careful with your answer.You may be giving the trainee womble hope of something to do)

I'm watching the One Show too. Does anyone know if Simon Boazman is related to Sally?

Hmm, now M.H. IS playing James Taylor. That seems a bit odd. Lack of research?

we have such similar lives Deebs - I work away from home too. Mrs. Kev will be Skyping me soon...

you should introduce me to Mrs Kev - we can commiserate with each other about our absent husbands.

i do like Meatloafs new song - hope he tours with the new album...

#95 - I'm sure Mrs. Kev likes it really - i dont get under her feet when i'm not there!

I bet Holly Johnson's first album want Ziggy Stardust. Too cool for a first album. Probably The Carpenters or something similar!

Yes, there are pros as well as cons. I have control of the remote during the week.

Ah, Two Tribes. I DID get to hear it today after all!
