Morning Simon and fellow Blesspoppets,



I would really, really love you to play



EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD by TEARS FOR FEARS



Many Thanks, Mcw x

(From previous blog) Thanks Paul,



Am going for a little bit of retail therapy with my daughter- give her a break from A2 revision, and then out for a lovely Italian dinner with the family.

Hope you have a good weekend, too.



Mcwx

Have a wonderful birthday Madchickster - make it last the whole weekend - you deserve it! :)

Morning all



Happy Birthday MCW.



Simon With the world cup looming on the horizon, please play the new version of 3 Lions feat Robbie Williams.



usual pleasantries

And a big smiley hello to fellow blogpoppets and scrabblers [that's you, yes!] ..



.. am feeling much more positive this sunny Friday - it's been a difficult week.







Picking up on Ken's 'recognisable singing voice' from the end of the last blog - my other half and I often play that particular game when listening to music - he is jaw-droppingly accurate and can pinpoint most singers/artistes/tracks after just a few seconds.

Altho' neither of us got Rick Astley when we heard his new single ...

Dont Fridays come around so quick!



Mind you, not as quick as Mondays.



Ok, time for me to move away from my pitiful attempt to have Twilight by ELO played, I guess it just aint gonna happen.( Shame!)



Instead, how about....



Music was my first love ---- by John Miles.



MTF.xx

#6 Hi MTF - good to 'see' you.



Great choice, the John Miles - that's from the Ken Bruce stable of 'long tracks to play after PopMaster to enable time for a comfort break' :)

My request [predictably]



SUMMER IN THE CITY - LOVIN SPOONFUL

*squeezes back into Blogland*



Ahhhhh, that's better! Phew - what a week of graft, but as I'm off on my first holibobs for 5 years on Tuesday I won't grumble. A morning's work left, then just time to put my tenner on for the World Cup, pack a few books and switch off. Wishing "the blesspoppet formerly known as MCW" happy birthday, congratulations to Deevs on the latest job situation and all the best to all Blogpoppets - I'll have a quick catch up on the blog laters to check on what's been occurrin' in my absinthe.



Happy ARFing ;-)

Morning all, though I notice Simon's blog post appeared last night... Getting earlier and earlier - shall we expect Monday's about midday today.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MCW!! And enjoy your Italian. Ding dong.



3 word Friday (I know that's not really a Friday thing, but I still want to): Tough weekend ahead...



How about King of the Road by Roger Miller to kick off the weekend? Altogether now: Trailer for saaaaaale or rent...

Thanks KM, sorry you've had a difficult week.



Hope things are on the up for you now.



MTF.xx

#11 - Aaaw thanks MTF x

Things are slow on the blog today. Everybody hot-footing it away for the weekend? How is everybody that is here anyway? Planning some fun in the sun?



For anybody in the north-Hampshire area, Tadley Treacle Fair is a grand day out. Starts 10am Sunday. Look it up and come along! Proceeds all for a good cause.

How about Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves

Afternoon all.



Sorry I'm late. I've got a note...



How about my usual request...



DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE by MEATLOAF.



Cheers,



Kev



P.S. Anyone watching Simon and DrK on 5 live at 2pm?

Oh, and Happy Birthday MCW!!!

#6 OMG. It's the end of an era!!!

Anyways up. Good ARFternoon, Each! Shall I return to my usual ARF, with a bit of the Bonzo's? Not sure, so will carefully consider for a bit.

Yes Paul, but I still sort of gave it a menshun, so you never know eh?



MTF.xx

ARF time then...



SUN HITS THE SKY by SUPERGRASS please Simon



or, as MTF seems to be losing the faith...



TWILIGHT by ELO



Either would set me up nicely for the Big Weekend of Relaxation prior to the BIG HOLIBOBTASMIC SWITCH OFF....

Spike, on your head be it IF it gets picked!!!



LOL.xx

#26 - my apologies CDF, its B&H (Bacon and Hilton - Boyd, not Paris) in for M&K this week...

#31 One easy way to guarantee it won't be played is if we all suggest it!





That ELO thingy song please Mr Mayo.

'What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For' by Emile Ford* (1950's)



'Jazz, Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold' by The Bonzo Dog Doodah Band (1960's)





'I Knew The Bride (When She Used To Rock And Roll) by Dave Edmunds

(1970.s)



'My Perfect Cousin' by The Undertones (1980's)



'Dreams' by The Cranberries (1990's)



* LueyLuey used to work with Emile in the 1980's, He likes a picnic.

Or was it a KitKat?

OK, this sketch is getting very silly - now for something completely different:-



First you must play... RIDE A WHITE SWAN! (dramatic chord) Then, when you have RIDDEN A WHITE SWAN, you must place it here, beside this swan, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!”



Apologies to Monty and Python

Dave

Thank you all for all your kind birthday wishes. You are a smashing bunch of people here and I have certainly been jammy with the weather!



Sorry to hear that you have had a difficult week, Katy. Hope it turns into a fabulous weekend to make up for it.

#35 How about a Gold Mine, Marathon, Bar 6, Banjo, Bandit, Bar 6 or Fry's 5 centres chocloate bar?

#38 Tiffin

#40 Skittles please











Not keen on chocolate, or Sex And The City. Perhaps I'm not really a girlie?

#40 Skittles? Skittles? I don't remember them being around in the 70s?



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)

#41





To be found in alleys

#42, Oh yeah, now I remember them now, Top Cat would feed them to Benny Boy when he got to excited.

#43 That says it all, Darren! ;^)

Does anybody remember "TEXAN - THE MIGHTY CHEW"?



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)

#45 I do and also the Yorkie chocolate bar beloved of truck drivers!

Do you remember Tooty Fruities, square flat sweets a bit like the modern day skittles?



I wasn't keen on Spangles- always last to be eaten out of a Chr*****s selection box!!! Used to cut half your soft palate!!

BRING BACK THE LIME BARREL !!!

Acid drops, sherbet pips, cough candy twists, kola cubes and those lemon bonbons that started off tasting lovely but ended up as a foul tasting gritty toffee!

I still think that you can't beat a sherbet dib dab!

Hi all,



Well, flushed with my non-success in the mensh lists this week, I will have another go at calling the show this evening and see what happens.



Oh, and an Old Jamaica for me....but my favourite had to be #47...

With the world cup injury news how about



Rio - Duran Duran

#45 - A man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew...



And who's for an Amazin Raisin bar? It's amazin' what raisins can do, full of goodness, and it's all for you, Cadbury can help you do what ya, wanna do, it's amazin' what raisins can doooooo..... I thang yow....

#50 I knew they should have taken Dawson instead...

...that's Michael, not Les...although that would be interesting, Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough in the back 4...

#52 a in ... Matt Dawson?







Oh yes - the man can cook like a dream, present Tv stuff like a pro and has a fine rugby brain - he would work miracles in Rustenberg (sp?)





;^)

#53 - Let's have all three in the back row!

#51 Everyone's a fruit and nut case! ;^)

What Frank Muirs playing as well

#56 they are in here, Chickster! ;-)

#57 - and Cliff Michelmore and Robert Robinson as wingers, with the boy Michael Crawford up front...and of course, Les Dennis and Dustin Gee as midfield generals...

#56

the thing is - Madchickster birthday girlpoppet;



I STILL have this childhood thingy about raisins/dead flies. Pathetic eh?

Could only ever manage Whole Nut.





:)

# 59 Whos in goal

AM DISAPPOINTED





the dullest Eagles track ever

#60 Not a fan of Garibaldi's then, Katy? When I was little, and funnily enough, at my birthday parties, my mum would make a chocolate blancmange (in a mould) rabbit, would chop up green jelly for grass, and just to annoy my mum (and make the little boys snigger)my dad would sprinkle a few raisins behind the rabbit on the jelly grass!

#62 Got to be Lesley Phillips



Ding Dong

#66 With that team dont bother with the tournament give us the cup now

OK - now that bit is done - I am going 'over to the other side' to have a glass or two. I need to put my BGT fancy dress on first.





It's my 'talented 'Mac - which shells peas at the rate of 1,567 per minute, and is hoping to make the Final tomorrow night

Back from my travelling about along with at a guess 2/3's of the population, judging by the traffic. Happy Birthday Madchickster.



David

#65



Oh dear. I was awful - so my mother tells me. She used to make my favourite food into a 'happy face' when I was ill - and I blanked it completely.





Even now - I can't 'do' fish heads, if anyone is eating them when we're out for a meal.

Had the 'honour' of covering a Buzzcocks gig in Peterborough when I was working on Smash Hits. It was awesomE!

~71





Sorry if that was a bit random [to those who are not listening]



Someone requested Ever Fallen In Love With Someone You Shouldn't etc etc

Responsible music for repsectable people, (or something like that).



Simon obviously knows nothing about us blogpoppets.



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)

Well, I rang the show on at 5pm on the dot. No call back yet, so I somnehow think I've beem overlooked again. Fear not, blogpoppets, I shall try again next Friday...

Have a fantastic weekend everyone. I hope the Revster/ Less Grumpy Vicar managed to have a lovely day in the garden today.



Mcw x

Good grief!! I think the selection of 'music' is somewhat dire this evening.....

~75 76



And here's to a fine Italian meal Chickster :)



*raises class of Chilean stuff*

See what you mean Madchickster - Friday Request Only is usually fairly corny and obvious - and tonight's show is no exception. It hasn't floated my boat - so far ...







... holding out for Kevin to get a callback

#78 Thx Katy, but i don;t hold out much hope - Meatloaf doesn;t normally get played after 6:30pm - more of a show starter...hence my ARF request each week. One day, one day....

Really looking forward to the return of Foxy

Mint Cracknell. Anyway, some of what has been mentioned I am still happily selling. For Emile Ford, iot turns out it was Picnics. 6 a day, apparently.

Is there any point, really??



Oh and by the way, Tootie fruities, you can still get them, but they smoothed the corners off, elf and safety no doubt!



Have a lovely weekend all.



MTF.xx

I'd quite like the job of Tootie Frootie corner nibbler.

If you wish for something hard enough...



MTF.xx

How do they make Maltesers? Why isn't there a flat spot? The same question for lots of other sweets, Smarties for ezample.

z? x!

Think they dry them in a massive tumble drier.



MTF.xx

You don't think that they might scoop them out of the insides of a solid choc bar, and then inflate the balls with a honeycomb mixture. In so doing they also create Aero.

How the mind wanders when you are waiting to make a Scrabble move.

Minnie Mouse slowly undresses in front of Mickey...

#91 Well, that with which you started, I suppose. Is 'ba dump dump chshshshshshshsh' the same as Bum Tiss?

I've just seen Father And Son on BGT, and it seems to have had a bit of a surprising effect on me. Can humans get furballs?

I thought cats got fur balls from licking th... never mind.
