Good Morning Each! And an especial good morning to Simon, who, for some reason, seem to be bathing us all in a glow of satisfaction. Anyway, my suggestions as follows...



'Fast Train' by Solomon Burke



'Fast Car' by Tracey Chapman



'Faster Than The Setting Sun' by Fyfe Dangerfield (With or without his hat)



'Speed Of Sound' by Coldplay

Morning All,



How about FAST COMPANY - The Eagles

Good Morning again -



Suggest -



LIFE IN THE FAST LANE - Eagles



THE RACE - Yello



RUN - Snow Patrol

Or LIFE IN THE FAST LANE - the Eagles

Sorry Billy, you posted while I was composing it.

I have already tweeted my selections so for those who don't do twitter and why should you I offer a double U2 selection with "Fast Cars-Jack Knife Lee Mix" or "Running to Stand Still" which I gather was what the Inter Milan defender was doing last night. Anyway lets hope normal service is restored to drive time tonight, I know Bon Jovi was for CIN but I thought it broke the show up too much and spoiled it for those who just listen in for the music and mentions.



Super sunny morning in the Pudsey area btw.



GB

FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT - BONNIE TYLER

SPIRIT OF RADIO - RUSH

BORN TO RUN - Bruce

•*¨*•.¸¸♥

Good Morning Simon, team and Blogpoppets



I missed most of the show last night - nothing to do with not being a BJ fan, I was just having one of those days where I was running to stand still. Glad to hear it went well though, and hopefully raised a ton of money for Children in Need as well.



My earlier tweeted suggestions are:



SPEED OF SOUND by Coldplay



FAST CAR by Tracy Chapman (share, Paul?)



I'd also like to second Billy Pepper's suggestion of 'Life in the Fast Lane'. Was going to tweet that one, then I forgot and now you've beaten me to it. Good choice though!



Deebee X

Ooops just posted this on next doors blog!!



*** Sweet Talkin' Woman ***



ELO.



MTF.xx

#8 & 9, Apologises Billy you post as I was typing

"(OK, when was the last time anybody watched that?!)"



Never!



Since the last time anyway :-)

You've all nicked my suggestions so far. I must be too slow for this blogging lark ;)



#18 last time I watched Grease - about a week ago! The latter part of my username should give you a clue :)



By the accounts I've heard from lucky people who were at Maida Vale for Bon Jovi, they put on a great live show, with a number of their own songs plus a couple of covers in between the bits broadcast on Simon's show. According to 1 report JBJ was having techie problem with equipment at the start which maybe made him a bit mardy (Leicester expression!).



So as I am not a footie fan - I'll come up with a speed suggestion or two



Funky Moped? - Jasper Carrott

Motorbiking - Chris Spedding

You Better Come Home Speedy Gonzales (Not sure, Pat Boone maybe?)

Morning again,



How about RUN FOR HOME by LINDISFARNE ?



Mcw x

or SILVER DREAM MACHINE by DAVID ESSEX

JACK OF SPEED - Steely Dan

FLASH by QUEEN

BICYCLE RACE by QUEEN

BEAT THE CLOCK by SPARKS

Morning all



Think I'm a little late for suggestions today, but will second MCW's Queen and David Essex ones.



Back later

Zoom, Fat Larry's Band.

Ooh...

You are right, this blog is great! x

'Runaway Child, Running Wild' The Temptations

#46 Madchickster - a pleasure to share - not just the making of, but the giving of

xx

Just a quick visit.



Loving the suggestions.



#5 AlexH #9 Brandon. No probs. Sharing's nice.

Alex again. Don't get your #20. Is it the same song as Ultravox?



#21 You never know, Paul. You never know.



Happy Birthday Mark.



Love



BP

Originally released in 1951 then re-released to become a massive hit in 1958!

What an excellent year that was.

Afternoon



How about "Crash" by the Primatives

3 word wednesday

people ignoring me

Afternoon poppetyblogpoppets!



I've been really busy this morning and am basking in the satisfaction of having brokered my first tenancy to clients this morning - not bad for a lowly admin gal eh!?



KatyMac - huzzah!!!! Great to see you.



Mark - Happy Birthday!!



Simon - the Gooners will do the biz tonight, trust me!



So, this evening - more acupuncture, some Chinese Noodles (Nic is on his course tonight so it's dining alone evening) and then my beloved Arsenal on the tellybox until my man gets home. Nice!



And as for today's theme ....









SPEED YOUR LOVE TO ME - SIMPLE MINDS





Now off to do a bit of Jim Kerr dancing around the office!



Laters hunnybunnies.



Deevs

x

Not an oldie. Quite the opposite, in fact. A brand new band, quite good, and can be 'Spotted'



'Stirling Moss, by Northern Portrait

THEME FROM S'EXPRESS - S'EXPRESS.



In homage to last night's victory, could that be an S for Spurs?

*** Making your mind up *** Bucks Fizz!!!



Yikes!



MTF.xx

MTF



I now have visions of the DT team doing the routine, with Sally and Foxy doing the skirt bit.



Need to lie down in darkened room now I think!



A

*** Scream if you want to go faster *** Geri Haliwell.



Double Yikes!



MTF.xx

LOL Andy.



I'd rather see Simon and Matt myself!!



MTF.xx

Thanks for the earworm MTF. Hope this means you have your voice back x

#68 refers to #64. Fortunately I do not know the Geri song ;-) x

Sort of Mo. Lets put it this way....



If I could talk to the animals, I think its the frogs that would be answering me.



MTF.xx

Would that be Matt and Simon tearing off their skirts?



Sorry, just got budget out of the way and feeling a bit skittish this afternoon x

#71 Mo That's clearly a different BF routine from the one at Eurovision!

#60 Gazza, nobody is ignoring you. As we've said before, it's impossible to respond directly to every comment posted on here.



To answer your question, no I don't have Sky+ and even if I did I refuse to listen to any Christmas music till 1st December. I think there's far too much hype and commercialism, and dare I say greed around the subject of Christmas, and the true meaning is completely lost under the onslaught of it all. And it seems to start earlier and earlier each year. My one concession is that I am going to make the Christmas puddings this weekend - and that's only because they need time to 'mature'. In fact my grandmother used to make them a whole year before they were actually eaten.



Bah humbug...



Deebee X

Deebee, you being speaking to Marj next door?



MTF.xx

#67 #71 LOL! I'm glad you said that and not me!



Which reminds me...where's the Chickster? I have a small bone to pick. From a couple of evenings ago. Something to do with the Milky Bar Kid? Who I always thought was rather cute...



Actually, maybe that was your point...



;o)

I have a nice 2004 ELHs finest Christmas pud that should be ready about now.



Maybe I'll keep it one more year.



MTF.xx

Hurrah for #71. I do love Christmas but I also think there's a time and place for it - in December LOL. I'm not a bah humbug honest x

Gazza. I don't think that folk are ignoring you, just because they haven't responded directly to your question about Sky+. But, just to appease you, I haven't got it. Now, as someone once said to me, stop whinging. You are as welcome here as anyone else.



However, I do agree, Christmas can CERTAINLY wait for a bit. (Cue for some numpty to jump in and tell us how many shopping days....)

The milky bar kid is strong and tough :)



MTF.xx

#77 - or even #73



maybe I should get back to work ;-)

Sorry, Deebs, I seem to have re-iterated the point you were making, only less well. Put it down to ny own numptiness regarding keyboard skills, and inability to remember to refresh before posting. Which I am about to do this time. Now!

When are the creme eggs due in Paul?



MTF.xx

Or the 'other' eggs.



I think you can get the creme ones all year?



MTF.xx

#79 MTF - The trouble is that it doesn't scan properly anymore since they insisted on calling themselves Nestlé.



Who had v blond hair and glasses in the 70's, but was never TMBK ;(



A

#82. You may think you jest. It'll be about two weeks. I have already had reps in the shop, asking about my "seasonal confectionery gifting" requirements. They were indeed talking about Easter, and Valentines Day. Somewhat depressing, isn't it?

Never mind Andy.



What about Joe 90?



MTF.xx

Paul, for once, I wasn't jesting.



Terrible innit!



Right must fly.



Smiles to deliver.



MTF.xx

Creme eggs are not available all year. They're not here forever, Trevor! However, some stores will sell out of date product year round.



I think it's about time someone at Cadb*rys invented Creme Bacon.

Paul, Sheffield, Signing Out!

#86 - it was one of my nick names at school, as was Brains.



I never had the cool Joe 90 suitcase tho!



A

Nice Paul!!



MTF.xx

Brains from Double deckers??



He was well cool.



Really gotta fly now, bye.................

#92 - No the one from Thunderbirds - I was a geeky kid (some would say I still am!)
