How about Monster Mash - Bobby Boris Pickett

I was looking forward to it being songs for the Festival of Speed, so I was going to suggest 'King of the Road', but alas not to be. I am having a brain-block so shall have to wonder about vampires and werewolves.



I've been looking forward to today for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. Three word Thursday:



''FESTIVAL





OF





SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED''



Heading down later tonight, pitching camp, then rising at about 0530 (yawn) to dress up in silly overalls and wave at cars for 3 days. Can't wait.

Busy indeed - I can't keep up. Where's Deevsss? GB? Paul?

:^)

Ghost Riders In The Sky - Johnny Cash

Katy! How are you? In what way is your Thursday promising?

MalcyPowder, I'm here!



Deevs

#25 - Not my blog, good sir! I was just applauding the fact that there are more blogpoppets here now than there was a few weeks ago, which is a very good thing. Everyone welcome here - it's a broad church (as the Rockin' Rev will testify to!)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah Deevs - you're trying to confuse me with a cunning name change.



Sooooooooo many friend requests via FB these last couple of days - can't keep up with who's who, so apologies to everybody if I've forgotten which real name goes to which blog name. People like Mark make it soooooooo easy (not that I'm one to talk...)

Morning all



Nice to see a few newbies on - welcome all.



Have to add my vote to Werewolves of london. Has the best opening line of anything imo.



MP - we need someone to do a list of real names to blog names, someone did it for CLP's blog. Its very useful for knowing who's who on fb and if you do have a blog meet at some point.



A

Good Morning Each! Won't be about much today. The offspring is doing an engineering apprenticeship, part of which has involved a three year course at college (although he will complete in two years). Year One over, and we are off to a presentation ceremony today to see him named Student Of The Year. I'm so proud of him.



Anyway , I will suggest...



'I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew' by Suzi Quatro



and



'Scary Monsters' by David Bowie



and



'Once Bitten Twice Shy' by Ian Hunter



Laters!

Morning All



Some brilliant suggestions today! I can't think of anything new to add at the moment - if I do I'll obviously put them below. But as I've had menshes two days running* I'm happy to sit this one out.



#34 I don't mind volunteering to do a blogpoppets list.



Deebee X



*not that I'm bragging or anything...

#30 Hi Malcster - Thursday is always a 'promising day' - with the working week nearly done and the promise of weekend pleasantness, such as what you are doing yourself.



And - I should be easy to spot on Facebook ;^)

#36 I thought you'd already started a list on FB Deebee or am I imagining things? : (

#34 Actually, I take that back about not joining in today, just had a thought:



How about THRILLER by Michael Jackson. Don't think that one's been taken yet.

Hello all, playing the newbie card here as this is my first post (please be gentle with me) :-)



Elton John - Bad Side of the Moon

#38 No, you're right Tortie. There's a real name/blog name discussion on FB. I was thinking more about putting the names into a spreadsheet, like they've done for Chris' blogsters.

#41 Ooh! I didn't know you could have spreadsheets on FB! How does that work? (I'm very much an FB novice!)

#42 I don't think you can! I would have to email it round to people.

Errrrrrrrm ...... on the Blogpoppets page on Faceache, on the discussion board, there's a thread along the lines of "real name/blog name" ..... I've just boinged it back to the top of the discussion board to help the newbies, and Malc (who, incidentally still hasn't requested me as a friend on FB)



:-(



Deevs

x

Sorry Deevs - I haven't requested anybody in actual fact, but I have had a number of requests fly my way - I'll look into it. Katy too :-)

#39 also 'scream' Michael Jackson

#39 Thriller is a MUST-play. Good choice Deebee.

And I can't believe that



Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell



hasn't appeared yet!

last one from me..'The night' Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

#49 I love that song - haven't heard it for ages. Good choice psl!

And I got 50 again!

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)

CDF, now you're just showing off!

#51 Most women I know claim '21 again' but what ever floats your boat.



How are our kittens?



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)

#54 The ten cute cittens are fine.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Fresh Blood - Eels, from the exceedingly excellent album Hombre Lobo.

Morning Everyone,



Sorry for my absence yesterday - I have a note from my Mum.



Song suggestion and I'm fairly certain it won't be chosen but I'm going to try anyway:-



WHAT'S THAT COMING OVER THE HILL by THE AUTOMATIC.



I'll third or even fourth TWILIGHT by ELO for MOBILE TOOTH FAIRY.



PoS - You have every right to be proud of your son. I hope you all have a lovely day celebrating his award.



I had a wee moment of pride last night. The youngestGB entered a 1k race and came second. The best bit was when he went up to the winner and congratulated him on his win. I, on the other hand, entered the 5k (as a vet, much to my disgust especially given I had missed the seniors category by a good few years:( ). Anyhoo, my colleague and I did it in 33mins 50secs and were last equal! We had a good time doing it tho' and got a lot of support from the spectators which helped us along.



Malc - I bet you're excited. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. It'd be great if you and MC can have a blog micro meet.



Deebs - whoop whoop on the menshes two days in a row.



Katy - did you have a good shopping trip with your Mum?



Andy - nice to see you. Keeping busy?



I didn't hear much of the show last night :( and missed the confession. May have to listen again, again.



Humph! Work is getting in the way here so must crack on again. Hope to poop by again later.



Toodle-oo for noo.



GailyB

#40 Welcome Glenn! Be patient with the wombles (modders) - after about 5 posts you'll start appearing immediately.

Deebs, despite being allergic to cats, please may I have one when they're ready to leave you. I'm kind of getting used to the idea of having pets around the house. ;)

Soz, Glenn, didn't realise you're a newbie - warmest welcomes. Hope you can hang around.



GailyB

...and you Persephone - warmest welcomes hope you can hang around too.



I'm off to crack on again.



Au revoir.



GailyB

Welcome Glen and Persephone (nice name). Morning GailyB

#58 I wouldn't be so sure that your choice won't get played Gailyb - it's a good one. Fingets crossed!

Well done for yours and youngGBs efforts, GB! Good work!



Also warmest greetings to newcomers. Glenn, once you've passed the initiation it'll be fine.........



Did I hear mentions of kittens? Can I have one till it's passed the initial 'ultimate cute' stage? After that point, when they gain their independence, they spend all their time out.



On that subject, written in a pub I was in the other night was the phrase:

''Men are like fires - if they are not cared for, they go out.'' Made me chuckle.



MP

#64 I think the blogpoppets need to come up with interesting names for cyberkittens, (OMG I've just come up with a new GirlBand name - Oi! Cowell!! I want 20% if you use it!!!).



Who ever comes up with a really interesting name gets one of the 10 on offer.



Deebee and I reserve the right to remove the cyberkittens of we consider they have been inappropriately homed.



No, Simon or Mayo is not a great name for a cyberkitten.



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)

Thank you for the welcome!



A couple more possibles: Some Other Sucker's Parade - Del Amitri, and Twilight King - Jesse DeNatale.



Oh, and what about We Suck Young Blood from Radiohead's Hail To The Thief? Hmmm, perhaps not.

#66



I would love to give a welcoming home to one of the BlessBlog kittens when they are ready.

I have no gender preferences because I would call my new pet ..



.. DarBee.



In honour of its proud parents.





:^)

What about Pumpkin the Puss?



Or Fi - Fi Line?

Unfortunately, as I already have 2 cats, I cannot take on another one, but the name I would suggest would be Driver, in honour of the show that created them : )

Always thought Rover or Nasher good names for kittens

GailyBevs - sorry - that's twice [as far as I can tell] I've missed your shopping with my Mum question!

I'm veryvery fortunate to have my Mum close by - so many of my girlfriends are not so lucky, so I consider it a privilege to go shopping with her. Nothing special, sometimes just supermarket etc. but it still gives me a real sense of warmth, love and security just to look up and see her there.

#70 Tortie - cat name - small version, the name should then be BabyDriver!

#72 Here's to Mums everywhere! Mine lives nearer to you than to me KatyMac, but I speak to her on the phone frequently and try and visit as much as I can. And I still need her approval, even though I'm mumblemumble years old now.

#73 It did occur to me, but I know it's someone's pseudonym!

Oh blimmin' 'eck, I can't think of an appropriate name for a cyberkitten and I really, really want one. Got the old thinking cap on and will poop by later. I hope it's not first come first served.



Hi Tortie.



Katy, I didn't remember I'd already asked the question so if you hadn't said, I wouldn't have realised!?! It's great that you live so close to your Mum and your post brought a wee lump to my throat. My Mum lives 300 miles away but I speak to her every night on the phone. She's quite elderly now and has vascular dementia. However, we've had a good spell for quite a while now but I still just take it a day at a time as we never know when things will change for her. I used to love shopping with her tho'. She was very honest about whether things suited me or not. Happy memories.



Deebs, I always wanted my Mum's approval too but since she's been poorly I've adjusted to a life where I can more or less please myself. It was a bit daunting at first not being able to ask her opinion but I am getting used to it. Also, since she's been poorly, she is much more accepting of a lot of things that in the past she probably wouldn't have been, possibly as she doesn't always fully understand the implications. Bless her - she giggles a lot especially if I slip a wee swear word in. Something she would never have tolerated before and something I do just to make her giggle.



Anyhoo, thank MP - it was fun. YoungestGB accompanied my colleague and I round the last two laps and just before the end he sprinted off to the finishing line so he could be there with some friends to cheer us on. I wish I had half his energy.



GailyB

Persephone - Great choice on the Radiohead song - I was going to suggest that, which I can, perhaps, still claim as you said perhaps not.

Or, how about Fangs For The Memory...

Or, JAMES - Play Dead or JAMES - Out To Get You - come on please Mr. Mayo, decent and fair chap that I know you are, play something by JAMES - that's JAMES btw..



Thanks.



Nic

Kitten names - If it's a boy I'll call it Tom and if it's a girl, I'll call it Eopha (pronounced Eefa - I think it's gaelic). D'ya get it?



Gaily

ooops wrong spelling - it's Aoife - same pronunciation.



Gaily

Nic, my sweet - do you want Simon to play some JAMES by any chance!?!?





Cyber kitten names .......



Ceefer, as in C For Cat!



boom boom!



x

Welcome Glenn and Percy Phone! We are a very friendly bunch, honest!

#71 and i was always partial to two kitten names that my friend used when we were at college....Satan and Beelzebub!

Cyber kittens? - Metal moggies?

RoboCats!?!?!



Kev, I've never been maternal but thought that calling my children (if I ever had any) Medusa and Banshee would be the way forward!



Deevs

Hi Everyone,



Don't think I'll get another chance to blog before we go... Had a bit of a nightmare morning with fraudsters trying to access our accounts- hopefully all sorted with the bank, logistics nightmare, but not what we need when we are leaving on our happy hols in two days time!! AAArrggghh!



Anyway, I would like to endorse DBB59's choice of GHOST TOWN by THE SPECIALS



So, be good everyone, be nice to one another and I'll catch up with you all in 3 wks.



Mcw x

Afternoon all



My selection to be ingored if you're betting on the outcome is "Vampire" by the great Bap Kennedy.



Hmm, how about an Energy Orchard reunion tour - I'll be there for it.

#85 Have a great time MChickster - bring us all back a stick of rock!

Enjoy yourself MCW - see you soon!!

Have a lovely time Madchickster. We'll miss you XxX

MadChickster why does stuff like that always happen at the most inopportune moments. Do you think they knew you were getting ready for the off and thought you wouldn't notice them making mischief? Anyhoo, I hope you find time to have a bit of a rest but most of all have a fabby 3 weeks and we'll see you on your return. Missing you already.



Gailyb

MadChickster - have a great time, and don't forget, leave some Robola there for me!



Tortie x

Lunch time has rolled around and I've had all morning to come up with this lot



Aha - Cry Wolf



Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Night Moves (2-4-1 with that one!)



Duran Duran - New Moon on Monday



Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love



Van Morrison - Moon Dance



And thanks all for the warm welcome.

I'm going to be away in a minute, kind of tied up for the next few days so won't be able to get on (but am deffo gonna try and phone ARF from the Festival - if I do get through will give bloggers a mensh).



In light of that:



Weasant Pleekend!



MP

#93 Have a great time at Goodwood Malcolm, and I'll listen out for you on ARF!

Hope you have a good time Madchickster

Thanks for all your kind wishes. I will genuinely really miss you all too, even our Cornish revolutionary Darren! I may try to pop in whilst I am away (if that isn't a contradiction in terms). Malcolm, you have a very safe and enjoyable holiday in the USA. Look forward to hearing all about it on my return. Kev, hope the house exchanges will be smooth ones!



Mcw x

Have a wonderful holiday MadChickster!

Have a good Goodwood Malcster!
