A cheery little number from me:



NEW YORK MINING DISASTER - The Bee Gees

This is a touch difficult for me - my Dad was a miner and hated it. 30 years working on the night shift underground - never saw daylight in winter! We were told we could do anything we wanted but not the pit....he never thought one of his sons would become a vicar!!!



Anyway, 'nuff already - my choice:

Back in a bit once I've caught up.



Gaily~B x

A man in a hot-air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced his altitude

and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, 'Excuse

me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but

I don't know where I am.'



The woman below replied, 'You are in a hot air balloon hovering

approximately thirty feet from the ground. You're between 40 and 41

degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'



'You must be an engineer,' said the balloonist.



'I am,' replied the woman, ' How did you know?'



' Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you told me is technically

correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact

is, I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If

anything, you've delayed my trip.'



The woman below responded, 'You must be in Management.'



'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'



'Well,' said the woman, 'you don't know where you are, or where you're

going. You have risen to where you are due to large quantity of hot air.

You've made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect

the people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in

exactly the same position you were before we met, but somehow it's now my

fault.'



;-) Mcw x

Last one, and gone...



'If I Never See Your Face Again' by Maroon 5

Good morning everyone!



Apologies for my rudeness so far today - just pooping in with a song suggestion with nary a hello or a greeting. Busy morning so far.



Am feeling quite cross. Had a chappie coming in for an interview for a role I desperately need to fill if I am going to get through the next few months without total sanity loss. On paper and in phone conversations, he was perfect for the position and immediately available. He rang this morning to say he wasn't progressing with it as a friend of his works here and he doesn't want to spoil the friendship. Whatever.



Never mind - I am sure there is someone out there who wants to work. Your joke did resonate with me this morning MCW!!



Deevs - from yesterday, very envious of you seeing Imelda May. I think she is fab. Very different from the sort of music I tend to listen to but a lovely energy to it.



Gaily - who emptied the dishwasher this morning?! LOL!



Well done on the menshes last night folks - another good night for the blogpoppets.



Alex-Girl

Is it worth a quick poop by to suggest, rather than request...





*** Twilight *** by ELO?



MTF.xx

Oops Alex, I have done the very same thing.



Salutations one and all.

#73,74



Just I've realised that I haven't been in properly this morning. Just stopping for lunch now and catching up with the blog. Busy morning here due to the with work missed yesterday because of the technology problem. Anyway, much better today.



Well done to all who had mentions last night. I didn't hear much of the show yesterday as I've started a new exercise class between 6 and 7pm, so I listen to the Archers on the way home instead!



Tortie

Re #67 - thanks GailyBevs



One more -



In too deep - Genesis

Hey A-G and T-C. There seemed to be a lot of IT issues yesterday - a couple of my friends, one locally and one in Scotland, had no internet access yesterday. Glad to see all's well now Tortie.



Not sure who emptied the dishwasher today - it may have been the cleaner last night!?! Meeting postponed 'til next week as one of our number is on hols this week.



Back to the grindstone :)

Hi Penny - good choice. Loved the video to this tune - v humorous :)



Btw, search parties are required for, among others, Katy M (not seen for a couple of days if my memory serves me correctly), Deebee and MTF. I'm assuming Deevski is busy and unable to come out to play.



~

#93. Search party reporting back...

Katy has yet to materialise today. She was here yesterday. Deebs and MTF have both popped in today, but are obviously playing hide and seek.

Still here, Gaily! Clinging on by fingernails, but still here....



Yes, where is Katy? MTF made an early post this morning, Deebee pooped by earlier and Deevs was allowed out to play yesterday. Seems we are all getting busier!



A-G

Reporting late sorry! I do have a note if anyone is interested.



Anyway I think we'll go for "Red Hill Mining Town" as today's U2 song.



Sorry if already suggested.

here's a quickie
