Speaking of White Horses, how about the theme song to that great kids TV serial;



THE ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE by ROBERT MELLIN and GIAN-PIERO REVERBERI



and I dare you not to hark back to school holidays when you hear it!

#9 Not a bad idea, Kev. And if, lets say, Simon wanted a 'bed' to talk over, why not an excerpt from Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia from the ballet Spartacus by Aram Khachaturian, better known as The Theme To The Onedin Line?

Morning all! Hope everybody's well.



3 word Tuesday as follows: need travelling companion. (Heading to America at the end of July for a few weeks, and my travel partner has pulled out! I may end up having to 'go it alone')



Might I take this opportunity to suggest another Simple Minds song, ie Waterfront? How many days can we go where we can pick out an appropriate Simple Minds song? Place your bets now!



Quite busy at work today (no, seriously!), so may not be able to put in many replies.

My daughters suggestion



Its Raining Men - The Weather Girls

# 10 Paul forget The Onedin Line what about



The Love Boat Theme by Jack Jones

Morning Simon and Fellow Bloggers,



I remember Kevin Whately more for Peak Practice and auf wiedersehen pet- nothing as cerebral as Morse!!



Where's your Orchestral Manoeuvres suggestion Paul? I thought Sailing On The Seven Seas was a good one!

BLUE BAYOU by ROY ORBINSON (one of the greatest songs ever recorded next to IN DREAMS)





failing that how about (and forgive me if others have already suggested any of them 'Simon - please mensh them instead':



CRY ME A RIVER - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

ACCROSS THE RIVER - PETER GABRIEL

TO THE SEA - JACK JOHNSON

RIVERS OF BABYLON - BONEY M

MOON RIVER - HENRY MANCINI

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS - TAKE YOUR PICK OF PERFORMER

MANY RIVERS TO CROSS - JIMMY CLIFF



That will do for a bit





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)

#13. If we're going to go all naff about it, I thought of suggesting the theme to Triangle, but I can't find it anywhere. However, it was written by Johnny Pearson, who wrote many, many theme tunes, including Sleepy Shores, which is kind of apt. Google it, you'll know it.



Tenuous link to Kevin Whateley. Johnny Pearson was born in Chesterfield, just up the road from Crich, which is where they filmed Peak Practice. Peak Practice was also filmed in Belper, which is where I met LueyLuey, my good lady wife. I seem to have wandered off topic again. erm..



'Heavy Water' by Jethro Tull. There!

Or even Orbison





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)

Message In A Bottle - Police?

Oooh, how about ORINOCO FLOW by ENYA?

'I can't stand the rain' Eruption



or



'it keeps rainin' Fats Domino



or



'under the board walk' The Drfters



or

'many rivers to cross' UB40

Paul



That's two Tull songs on one blog - that's just greedy! ;)



On a slight tangent how about 10/10 by Paolo Nutini - released on Atlantic records.



Or Hazard by Richard Marx.



A

anthing by Billy Ocean....

Is everybody having a good day? Enjoying the rain? I'm working in Southampton today and it has just finished chucking it down. Counting down the days till I jet off Stateside.

#27 y are you missing a y

#28 There's more on its way Malcolm - I'm about 20 miles west of you.





Good Afternoonski Blessed Blogpoppets!

A great memory from the old Morse series is Morse and Lewis going down in to the crypt of a church, Lewis asking Morse if he is ok and Morse replying "It's heights I'm afraid of Lewis, not depths!"

My suggestion is....



JAMES - The Lake - Lovely song - go and download it if you can find it.



Nic

Now if I'd got in here any earlier I would have chosen:



SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE - QUEEN



or



LA MER - CHARLES TRENET

#28 No rain in Hastings Sunny at the moment

#30 cheers Katy - we'll leave the hatches battened down. If it's like it was just now, may need lifeboats.

#29 finger trouble! don't you start with the red teachers pen I get enough stick from Kev! ;-)

Afternoon All



I'm feeling a bit tired today - post holiday-itis. Had a smile on my face since about 10.45 this morning though.



Some great song choices today. Mine are:



"Ocean Drive" by the Lighthouse Family

"Swallowed in the sea" by Coldplay

"Sailing" by Rod Stewart



And a great handover one:



"All at sea" by Jamie Cullum



Deebee X

#21 Crich, glorious Crich. Home to that enduring school trip location, the Crich Tramway Museum. Is it still there, Paul?

#36 Great minds and all that Deebee! Suggested Ocean Drive #14!

Night Boat to Cairo or



The Sun & The Rain



both by Madness

#38 So you did madchickster! Hope you don't mind sharing.

Katrina & The Waves - Walking on Sunshine



Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

#37 Yes, it is. The stone built facade there was moved brick by brick from Derby Market Place, where it had been the old Assembly Rooms, which I think were bombed in the war.

Lets see what sort of reaction this gets



Big Fish,Little Fish (cardboard box) -Bob The Builder

#40 Don't mind at all! x

All right, then MCW. 'Fish Heads' by Barnes and Barnes

#45 You talking to me, Paul, or did you mean MC?

#46 Have you been watching taxi driver



or the ad for the bing search engine



Since you dropped the woman tag weve both got the same initials

Anything from Shark Tale



The Little Mermaid or



Help I'm A Fish

Yellow Submarine?

50!

Afternoon Simon,



CARIBBEAN QUEEN (NO MORE LOVE ON THE RUN) by Billy Ocean, or maybe



LA MER - the Charles Trenet version please



Sea ya,

Dave

Afternoon all



Just reporting in after being in the sunny, warm Black Forest for 4 days - so good to be home to the rain again : (



No suggestions from me today, so I'll second DeeBee's for Ocean Drive.



Tortie x

How about Wade In The Water by Ramsey Lewis ...........



Kills 2 birds with one stone, water and Lewis. Well it was just a thought . :(



H

Jackie Wilson said? I think I've missed the connection with water...

Woohoo, a triple mensh for the blog! Well done KatyMac and Andy!

A veritable hat trick for the bloggers!!

Yes well done!



H

Well done KatyMac, Andy & Kev



David

Whoop, whoop!

I suspect it is safe now to award the hat to CDF. I didn't want to bring attention ...Breaks off WHOOP WHOOP...resumes... to the fact that he requested BM.

Well done, Paul!! Two suggestions played. Never heard the Frankie Ford one before, but it helped the ironing disappear nicely!

I have tried to get Simon to play OMD for ages....and you manage it! Don't hear this one of theirs nearly enough on the radio!

A woo and indeed a hoo!! A successful blogging and tweeting day all round. Well done to Kev, Katy, Andy and Paul!

So, well done bpops, mensh TASTIC. Thanks, Simon. Thanks Simon.

#60 It didn't go unnoticed........

#64 Just as Kev finally manages to control his urges, up pops Darren. Perhaps he can blame it on tiredness.Thank goodness no-one on here asked for The Goombay Dance Band

Well done x 2 Paul!

#64 absolutely.



Did I mention I got a tweet this morning.....?!

MCW The suggestion of Fish Heads was aimed at you. You were fine with Bob The Builder, so I thought I'd Test your musical limit. ;¬)

#67 About 10:45, was it? Can you frame a tweet I wonder? Well done Deebs.



P.S. Scrabble move?

#67 No Deebee you have been very modest about it, but I mentioned it at the beginning of the blog....see above! :-)



Well done Pauly...

And to you, kind Sir!

#69 I suppose I could do print screen.



You're determined to prolong my scrabble humiliation, aren't you. Okay, I'll have a look later this evening.

#68 I must admit that I have had a busy morning and that apart from Darrens' BM suggestion, the Bob the Builder request had completely slipped past me (straight through the net, if we continue along the fishy line!)



Deebee- A tweet from the main man?? Well done!

#72 can you save the tweet as a favourite?

#74 now you're just being silly.

#73 Ah, the dim light of realisation crosses me eyes. You were saying 'Don't mind at all! x' to Deebs, and her offer of a share. I misunderstood, and thought you were replying to Mark (#43) with his Bob The Builder suggestion.'Don't mind at all! x' in this situation would've displayed a steely inner strength indeed. Hence, my apparently innappropriate 'Fish Heads'. Colour me a buffoon. (If you haven't already)

DDooeess anyone want any spare ddoouubbllee letters?

#75 honestly, you can!

#78 no I can't. Really.



I've just noticed I'm on my 499th tweet. I'll have to think of a real humdinger for the 500th.

#79 Or you could take a leaf from this blog, and just tweet '500'.

81?

82

What's BM? You lot don't arf talk a load of roubles after 5. LOL.





Am wondering why I got a mensh - haven't really been here today.



aha! *sees the light*



I backed up someones suggestion of Seven Seas of Rhye? Cheaply gained. Ta Simon

I guess it might have helped if I'd listened to the show.

your move Paul.

#52 Welcome back Tortie - how was the Black Forest?

#52 sorry Tortie - missed you slipping in. Welcome back!

#83 BM is, i'm guessing, the band that dare not speak its name...Rivers Of Babylon?

# Kev, are we to assume that mentioning the BM name in full will put a curse on this blog, rather like actors use to use the term 'the scottish play' for the same reason? I think pirates also had one but recall what



David

#89. Bang on, old chuck. Furthermore, mention of said band will see you presented with the Hat Of Inappropriate Blogginess, of the Chapeau Of Shame, as it is also known. Beware, my friend, be-very-ware!

Kev, however, is possessed of a rebellious streak, and sometimes likes to flirt with the dark side. It is no coincidence that the hat was tailored in Red.(Should that be millinered?)

Tum, tum, te, tum, tum...

Hmm, hm, hm, hmm, hmm,mm...

FIVE IN A ROW!!!! Hee Hee!

95, 5 to go

Are you all still here?

#76 All is forgiven Paul- although I have to admit to being a little confused at first.....doesn't take much to get me confused!

Anyway, I suspect The Fish Head song was probably not such a good idea. Thank goodness it wasn't played.

99. The honour of the century goes to....

Thank You, and Goodnight!
