Morning all



How about Moneys To Tight To Mention - Simply Red

Hello Everybody,



My suggestion 'Money for Nothing' Dire Straits



Hope its a good day for one and all,



David

#1 D'OH! I had tweeted that one and was all ready to put it here, so I second #1;



MONEY'S TOO TIGHT TO MENTION - SIMPLY RED



Cheers,



Kev

How about;



KISS ME - SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER, as sixpence will be all we have got after the Budget!

Here's one for you...



Blind Alfred Reed's song HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE? was covered by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. Let's give this feelgood song a much needed airing!

Or;



THE ISRAELITES by DESMOND DEKKER, the story of a poverty stricken family man who has nothing...

#1 #3 my choice too...saw them at Sherwood Forest friday night they were fantastic

Finally from me;



COAT OF MANY COLOURS by DOLLY PARTON



The story of a woman who's mother could only make ends meet by stitching rags together for clothes.



I love a happy song!

or maybe 'take the money and run' Steve Miller Band

Morning all



I can't think of anything at the moment, all I do know is pleeeaaasssee do not play Simply Red - sorry, personal opinion I know but they are nearly on a par with Boney M to my ears and the problem is that their songs cause the most horrendous ear worms (I now have snippets of both to get rid of in my head.....)



mtd ffb xxx

'Ain't too proud to beg' The Temptations

..which we may have to if the predictions re the spending cuts prove to be right!

#10 - I too think that about Simply Red, MTD, but it was the first song to come to mind.



Hmm, there's a mission - a Boney M track about Money....hmmm, let me think... ;-)

'in the ghetto' Candi Staton or Elvis...pretty grim song :-(

#12 - can;t think of one. Howeverm, just thought of;



THE CARNIVAL IS OVER - THE SEEKERS



another song you don't hear much these days...

Hi-de-hi!



Throwing my tuppence worth in t'ring ..... for now, anyways:





Taxman - The Beatles

Money - The Beatles (or Flying Lizzards if you prefer)





Hope you're all fine and dandy today and the sun is shining over your yard-arm!

Hya Blesspops



Austerity eh? There's an upbeat couple of hours to look forward to!

I'm choosing:



LA BAMBA - LOS LOBOS



BAILAMOS - ENRIQUE IGLESIAS





What d'ya reckon to my chances?



:^D

#16 - your chances? Nada! :-)

Katy - can I add Bambolaya by Gypsy Kings to that list!?!?!



I really must download it ....

Morning All,



All I can think of is:



THE BITTEREST PILL (I EVER HAD TO SWALLOW) by THE JAM



Looks like we are all going to have to dig deep into our pockets!



Mcw x

'rescue me' Fontella Bass

#17 #18 heh! yeah!



OK - I'm preparing an alternative Drivetime track list - two sources of sound then I can in with my Cheesey Dancey Latino stuff whenever the Mayo plays an 'austerity' track ...



.. 'scuse me while I rig up my kitchen/officy place







Hasta luego a mis amigos.





xx

Katy



I have a Dance Dance Dance playlist on my iSplod. It includes such delights as Silvester, Chic, Donna Summer, Chakka Khan etc. Good for cooking to, until you get caught hoogie-boogieing round the kitchen by your better half's bemused (but highly amused) 7 year old!



Yowsah yowsah yowsah!



Deevs

MadChick, PoshSoul ...!



Don't get sucked in!





Feel those latin rhythms







:^D

Top of the morning one and all....



How's about Pink Floyds version of Money...a true classic.



Enjoy the day, enjoy the sunshine..

Morning all! Hope things are going well. Sun is still well and truly under my yard arm, but I've just found a ladder so I'll work on it.



How about Money by Michael Jackson?



Keep up the good posting people! Went out last night for a belated fathers day dinner at a relatively local Indian. Was amazing, very reasonably priced, and they gave us a round of drinks on the house at the end. Can't say fairer than that.



Deasant Play

#22 Deevs - yeah and yeah and woop de woop





:^D

'in the future when all is well' Morrissey....taking a long term view of the stuation....:-S

*is liking the sound of poster #24 ...*

" A penny in your pocket, suitcase in your hand.



They wont get you very far, now you're a 21st century man."



By who else...... ELO.!!!



MTF.xx

this is the one you have all been waiting for....are you ready..



Money (That's What I Want) by Barrett Strong..





thats what I want..A lovey song for a lovely day

boyloves ... is that the same song as was covered by The Beatles and The Flying Lizzards?



Sorted!



Although I am liking the idea of a John Terry-esque blogpoppets uprising against austerity in favour of donning out boogie shoes.



I wanna boogie wit choo!



Deevs

x

Hello Malcster - there's nothing quite so convenient as a 'relatively local Indian' and it sounds as though yours works at keeping the customer satisfied.



You don't *really* want to request that MJ Money track, do you?!





:)

Morning All



As Kev pipped me at the post by tweeting "Money's too tight to mention" about 2 seconds before I was going to - and as everyone else also seems to want that one (apart from MTD), may I respectfully suggest:



"Money, money, money" - Abba

"Can't buy me love" - Beatles

"Rescue me" - Aretha Franklin

"Saving all my love for you" - Whitney Houston

"Money" - Pink Floyd



Deebee X

#30 hmmm - I'll reserve judgement, boyloves ..!



#31 Viva La Diva! Had a hunch you'd roll with it ;)









xx

#32 you don't *really* want me not to suggest the MJ Money track do you? What's the matter with you Katy?! :-P



How is everybody today?



I would recommend everybody seeks out their relatively local Indians.



I was greeted at work today by a fanfare of vuvuzelas - they all got them free from a newspaper.

#33



Deebee - yo harshin ma mellow!

Good Morning Each! I think todays category is a bit of a toughie. As Deebs says, we've already done money, and austerity is in a much similar vein, so it's tough not to go over old ground.That said, PSL seems to have got it nailed, definitely austerity themes, rather than dosh, so I will second her suggestions of 'Aint To Proud To Beg' and 'Rescue Me'.



I shall have a think for some others, but at the moment, it's down to...



'One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer' by George Thorogood And The Destroyers.

I see the sun has got to a number of maverick blogpoppets, a la the French football team. Disquiet in the ranks, eh? Should be an interestign day in blog-land!

#29 - now you're talking!

How about:



9 TO 5 by DOLLY PARTON

SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY by DONNA SUMMER

YOUNG MAN BLUES by THE WHO

FREE MONEY by PATTI SMITH

TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS by BACHMAN TURNER OVERDIVE

THE PRETENDER by JACKSON BROWNE



Appleoggies for anyone who has already mentioned any of the above.









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)

#22 #23 got a dance playlist on mine too...'highwire' Linda Carr & the Love Squad my mood lifting track...

whoop whoop, I think I may have a suggestion (or even two).



What about...



HOLE IN MY SHOE by TRAFFIC???



OR



LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE by PAUL YOUNG???



Gailyb

Mmm Malcolm, curry on a Monday? How racy are you? not sure I could manage that, it always feels like an end of the week or weekend type dish. Also the chap who couldn't pronounce his 'Fs' and 'THs' - he couldn't say fairer than that! ;)



Gaily

Hows about...



'Poor Boy Blues' by Chet Atkins. I like the version he does with Mark Knöpfler



or...



'Princess In Rags' by Gene Pitney



or...



'Polk Salad Annie' by Tony Joe White

#42 I love that Traffic song Gaily.



I also agree with Mtd- have never forgiven Simply Red for crucifying my favourite Hollies song ever! Not a fan of Mr Hucknall!

#43. Call that a joke. I think you need to try again. Go on. ;0)

Everyday could be curry day!



Morrisey could write a song along those lines ..... "every day is like curryday"



Tonight in ChezNicia we have ..... curry!



DancingDeevs



x

There's never a bad night for a curry. When I was at university in Swansea, we always used to go to the all you can eat buffet in the curry house there. It's in an old church, so we did actually go to church every Sunday!



I prefer Chinese personally though.

Is the race to 50 on?

Soz Paul, obv not got my funny head on today. Trying to work and be funny at the same time isn't happening for me. Will try harder. Btw, I didn't call it a joke, I was merely pointing out to Malc that the chap who couldn't pronounce his Fs and Ths couldn't say...



I'm outta here - going for a strong cuppa red bush - hopefully that'll clear my head.



Gaily

'Second Hand Woman' by Steve Winwood (Inspiration for this idea supplied by GailyB)



A man goes to the doctor complaining of feeling unwell. Upon examination, the doctor finds the patient has a piece of lamb in his ear, a small piece of onion bhaji up his nose, some naan bread under his eyelid, and his belly button clogged with curry sauce.



'Do you know what's wrong with me, Doc?' says the man.

'Yes', replies the Doctor, 'You're not eating properly.'



(Inspiration for this idea supplied by GailyB)

and whoop whoop again - I got the 50!



Malc/Deevs, Again there must be something wrong in my head - it could be the warm weather affecting its functionality. I probably could manage curry any day of the week (or even every day of the week) it's just a the mo with a youngGB who isn't keen on curry, the eldestGB and I have it as a treat at the weekend. I love both Indian and Chinese food - there's a fab Cantonese restaurant on the outskirts of Lincoln and a fab Indian restaurant in town. Mmmm my mouth's watering now. Ham and cheese salad to look forward to, it's just not the same is it?



Gaily

LOL PoS. I didn't realise i could be so inspirational. I think I'll change career, what do you think?



Gaily

I would do many things right now for a ham and cheese salad - lunch needs to be something salady, with a nice piece of meat. Or a pork pie.



PS congrats on 50! (Not your age - OBVIOUSLY!) And I liked your joke about the bloke who couldn't say...



How about an attempt at wisdom of the day? When reversing out of your driveway, USE YOUR MIRRORS!!

CLP came up with the perfect meal combo a few months ago on his blog ....



The Chindian



Chinese starters/appetisers/duck etc, and then Indian mains.



Perfick - the man is indeed a genius!!



Deevs



x

STOP IT DEEVS, my keyboard is covered in drool now.



Malc - you are so perceptive, how did you know it's not my age? Now then, why would you passing on such a specific piece of wisdom for the day? Is it specific to you, today by any chance?



Do you know, there's a woman in my office keeps calling everyone who rings in 'Shorty'? Bit familiar / rude, if you ask me. Her boss is out at the mo but will be back...

FYI, We are streets ahead of them next door - they're only at 12.



Gaily

#55 I'd have to disagree there I'm afraid (about the menu, not the fact that CLP is a genius). Chinese all the way through, including lychees for dessert. I don't mind Indian but much prefer Chinese.

Gaily - it very nearly had a literally direct impact on my day this morning. There's a bloke round the corner never checks his mirror when reversing out. I always seem to time it right that I get there JUST as he's doing it. Somehow, he always stops in time, but it's a challenge for the senses at that time of the morning.



I can tell your age easily - because of the way you type (?) and all that, you are quite clearly 23/24. Late 23 I'd say.

Malcolm, could you try leaving the house a minute or two earlier or a minute or two later to miss said eejit?



Not far off with the age, wow you're perceptive. ;)



Gaily

I wish it were that simple, but it always varies within about a 15 minuet window. It's crazy. In a way, I enjoy it (especially as I'm driving a works vehicle).



Years of near-death experience help me out on the perception front. I'm gonna guess at Paul being maybe 27? Deevs has to be 26. Ken W about 19? Sorry - I' not supposed to reveal my findings...

#61 Oops - I'm also not supposed to reveal to the world that my morning routine consists of 15 minuets...

Sorry Malcolm, I have to disagree on the question of Deevs' age - I'd go for much younger, possibly just turned 22? Do you really think Ken is that young, poor lad, must've had a hard paper round. Not sure about PoS - it's difficult to put an age on him.



Gaily

I thought you'd done that on purpose Malcolm. I can just imagine you waltzing round getting ready for work.



Gaily

How about this oldie from the 60s....



POOR MAN'S SON ~ The Rocking Berries!

Goodness me, there's a party going on here today! Some of us have to work, you know...



#61 well we all know Simon's 16 as he mentioned he's just finished his GCSEs ;o)

Good point Deebee! How did drama go Simon?

#67 Dramatic, I'd have said. Or going back to the malapropisms of last week - dramastic.



Deebs, come on in and join the party. I'm just about to fetch the salad from the fridge. I have a dollop of taramansmondata and some salsa for dipping.



Gaily

Who brought the beer? I could do serious damage to a real ale right about now.

How about LOW BUDGET by THE KINKS ?

Afternoon...Just dropping by as and when I get chance these days...



JAMES - Go To The Bank.



OR



Anything by Johnny Cash



OR



Roseanne Cash and Bruce Springsteen duet...



Nic

Or we could have Eight Days A Week -The Beatles



As in thats how long we are going to have

to work to make ends meet after all the cuts & rises in VAT

that are promised

Oh great, I can't tuck in yet as all the other secretaries have bogged off for lunch! Wouldn't do to answer the phone with a gob full of salad would it? How am I going to stop my tummy rumbling and how will I manage a comfort break?



Yours in desperation.



Gaily ;)

Can you fetch a case Malc? Only Pimms in our cupboard at the mo with no lemonade and all the cucumber in the salad.



Mark - there's barely enough hours in the day at the mo.



Gaily

#73 I could stop your tummy rumbling by taking the salad off you...

#75 ...and?

...eating it

#77 - how is that going to stop my tummy rumbling?

Out of sight, out of mind? If it's not there begging you to eat it, it won't be so bad. I might make you a tea to keep you going

Not sure that would work Malcolm as I'd only be tempted to pop to the chippy to have the much craved for chips and curry sauce. Is that a cuppa tea? Make mine a red bush with a wee splash of honey. Or is it tea as in the evening meal?

I know, I know, tea isn't an evening meal, it's an afternoon thing but it depends where you come from and bear in mind I'm from north of the border.



Gaily

I meant the drink, but what would you want for the evening meal? You made me want chips and curry sauce now :-( - with a sausage.



Tuesday in 3 words: Hot, HOT, H O T !!!



It's rather warm in here.

Malcolm. I'm 53! You are so kind (You see, Kev. Grizzled indeed)

Soz Malcolm for inducing the chips and curry sauce craving. Think calming thoughts, go to your happy place and breathe deeply. Not sure what I'd like for tea, kind of hard to think of at the mo - I'm chomping my way through my mini fruit salad. I'm really easy when it comes to food and I'll eat near enough anything, within reason.



Gaily

Aw PoS - don't be so harsh. Kev, don't listen to PoS, he's just being smug and we all know that's not attractive.



Gaily

#84 Good to see somebody with a similar attitude to food-age! Hurrah.



#83 no Paul - you're 27. Trust me.



In relation to the topic of the day, what about 'Born to cry' by Pulp?

#85 I wasn't calling Kev, grizzled, he isn't. It was something he once said to me, not that I'm bearing a grudge, or anything. No Kev is certainly not grizzled. Perhaps a tad shiny.



#86. How very stupid of me to question your obvious analytical aptitude. I now realise, of course, that you are perfectly correct, and that all previous mirrors I have happened across have been aberrant.

#87 Is that the same as broken PoS? ;) Gaily

# 48 Have you tried going to a new one Malcolm?

CAN'T BUY ME LOVE - PLEEEAAASSEEEEEEE SIMON......

#89 I have been to a modern one, yes vicar, but alas not regularly for sometime now.

Good afternoon, Rev old friend, not seen much of you lately. As regards to todays song requests, I was going to ask for track three from the album 'This Was', by you know who, but seeing as you are hear, why don't you take the honours? Nice to see you back.

Four word Tuesday



Chips,Curry Sauce YUK

#92-Hear? What a dimbo.Take away the 'a', add in this 'e' someplace. It somes with the age of 27, you know.

#89 LOL Rev - you never miss an opportunity to add to your flock ;o)



Sorry I missed the party earlier - went for a swim at lunchtime then I got engrossed in my book. Back at work now, so I'm not really here.

Three Word Wednesday. 'Oops, that's tomorrow'

# 92 Thank you kind sir....."BEGGAR'S FARM" please Simon by the inestimable, un believavble and splednid JETHRO TULL

Rightio guys, i'm outta here now - eldestGB has an appointment with the orthodontist this afty. I probably won't be around this evening as it's running club tonight and I just can't wait.



Have a great afternoon and evening and see you all tomorrow.



Gailyb

# 95 Too kind Deebee but Malcolm has gone strangely quiet - do you think I have frightened him off?

Very clever Paul!!



I can feel a dash to 100 coming on...
