Morning Simon and all you lovely blogpoppets,



How about a Christmas belter for ARF?



CHRISTMAS TIME (DON'T LET THE BELLS END) by THE DARKNESS



Mcw x

And thank you for saying that we can use the blog for our Christmas food queries.... but you may just have to keep that nice young man away from the sherries or Nigel may face some very strange questions! ;-)



(Only joking NYM!) x

Morning Simon, morning all



My seasonally-relevant and meteorologically-accurate auggestion for today:



WINTER WONDERLAND - DARLENE LOVE



will poop back later to ask Nigel my festive food question.



And if there's time to squeeze in a 3-word Friday - FORTNIGHT OFF, YIPEEEE!



Good day, and be good,



John

Good Morning Simon, Team, Nice Young Man and Blogpoppets



My own Child 1 returns from Uni tomorrow. The washing machine is ready and primed...



How about a bit of



MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY by Slade



To start the weekend off.



Deebee X

jbg you pipped me with your song suggestion! hope it gets a play...scratches head and thinks again....

'Santa Claus is coming to town' The Crystals

#5 psl - of all the songs, in all the world, you had to pick that one?! I'm sure Phil Spector can oblige with an alternative choice...

#7 Does anybody else have to switch off before the weird creepy version of Silent Night at the end of that album?



OK, really must get on now.

Dear Simon and Dear Everyone,



Hope you are all safe and well.



My ARF suggestion is Mull Of Kintyre - Wings.



Take care today,



Softy

x

Good Morning Everybody.



3 inches of snow overnight. It's flurrying again now. It's truly beautiful.

Fortunately, we don't need to go anywhere today.



No ARF from me. Happy to hear anything.



AlexH what news about your car?



Take Care everybody. Take Care.



Love



BP

Dear Santa,



I don't want a lot for Christmas. But if I could choose one thing, it would be something that money can't buy.



So please could you make my dream come true and deliver ( a bit early I know!).....



*** Twilight *** by ELO.



Merry Christmas to you and all your little helpers.



From a winter wonderland that is West Somerset.



MTF.xx

Morning All,



Suggest for ARF 'Frosty The Snowman' The Ronettes



Have a good day everybody

Morning all, no ARF suggestion from me today. I have had my celebration moment for this week already.



Made it into work, although probably shouldn't have tried. Won't be here too long though.



Stay safe & warm. Catch up later x

Morning all.



Well, its arrived and even the beach is white.



I hope all those travelling today (of which I am one) have a safe journey.



I collected my GD from Bristol uni on Wednesday evening and I think she has superglued herself to her bed as she seems to be very reluctant to leave it!



We missed the Royal variety show last night, due to a terrible tv reception. Why does it always do that when there is something on that you want to watch. I have picked up one or two remarks over on fb about it and hope that I can watch it this evening maybe by the wonder of 'play again!'



Right then, off to shake the snow off the Christmas tree that has been outside since the weekend and get busy with some baubles.



Ho Ho Ho, here comes even more snow!



MTF.xx

Morning all (again)



No suggestion from me today, I've been far too lucky already this week! Even Mr T got quite animated when he heard my name mentioned again last night!



Back later



Tortie x

#7 the last track is odd! love all the others and between us we have suggested 3 songs from the album!

...and a we now know Mr Spector is a bit odd!

Morning all. New to posting so bear with me, my ARF request is Ragpickers Dream, Mark Knopfler. Beautiful Christmassy song and never, ever, ever, ever played on Radio 2!! So please Simon make a faithful listener happy this cold and snowy Friday. MWAH

After Simon's snowman joke, he is a little offering:



Scrooge was sitting in his office in the week before Christmas. He was

counting his money, making sure he had made enough profit for the year.

Suddenly, he became aware of a noise. It was one of those irritating

humming noises that once you've noticed it, you can't concentrate on

anything else. After some time trying to ignore it, he decided to

investigate.



Scrooge looked all around and finally managed to pin-point the sound

coming from under his desk. Bending down to look under the desk, he was

surprised to see Jiminy Cricket, playing a tune. Scrooge crouched down,

and said "Jiminy! What are you doing?"



"I'm singing you a Christmas carol," Jiminy replied. "I've forgotten the

words so I was just humming it instead."



"That wouldn't be so bad," says Scrooge, "but, you're only humming the

first bar ... over and over again."



"Well," says Jiminy, "I guess that makes me a bar hum bug."





;-)



PS Hi DansNan, it may be cold outside but may I extend to you a warm welcome to this wonderful blog. You are right, Ragpickers Dream is fabulous and deserves more airtime, especially now.



Mcw x

#19 he/ here!



Have just been cleaning out the chicken house and my fingets have frozed up!

#19 - like it MCW! : )



#18 Welcome, DansNan!

#18 Warm welcome to DansNan from me too. Hope you are going to join the fun & frolics



#19 big smile on my face - easily pleased me

Thanks for the welcome everyone, don't get much of a chance to do this sort of thing - the boss works me way too hard - but will try and become a regular "popper in-er"

# 18 Absolutley with you DansNan - RAGPICKERS DREAM by Mark Knopfler please Simon - don't disappoint us!! It is a splednid choice....and may I add my welcome to our blessed flock!

Good Afternoon,



Hello and welcome to DansNan. I am still quite new to this blog but they really are a lovely bunch of people. Is there a collective noun for Blogpoppets?



ARF - Hello Nice Young Man etc.... Please, please make the Mobile Tooth Fairy's dream come true. TWILIGHT BY ELO. When you do eventually play it I reckon there will be reports on News at Ten of a strange loud inexplicable cheering sound at 5.05 as all us Bloggers celebrate.



Are you still there Revster? Big Girl's nativity was lovely. It was called A Present for the Baby. Various presents were given in the hope of stopping the baby from crying including emeralds, dancers and the four enormous elephants. None worked - the only thing that stopped the baby from crying was a kiss from a little girl.



Have a good afternoon.x



Have a good afternoon.

#25 Love it Julia x

# 25 Yes, I am though off shortly for a spot of lunch! This is supposed to my day off but have had to spend the morning doing more Carol Service preparation!



The ground outside is covered in snow, so I think this afternoon I shall play with my trains!



Glad the Nativity went well.....

Newsflash from London, view from my window:



12.40 - cold, blue sky, everything as normal



1.00 - still cold, white sky, one inch of snow, everything covered, prepare for chaos

How about a classic disco track

Rhythm of the Night by Debarge



please please

hi DansNan :-)



snowing here in Lincolnshire and very cold Brrrr

psl - are you on FB?

You are very welcome to this lovely blog, DansNan! You're not my Mum, are you? (Dan is my son's name).



Very good, Mcw!



;o)

#31 Tortie, I've just sent you a friend suggestion for pls. Hope you manage to find each other - your 'real' names are both completely different from your blog names!



I'm off this afternoon to do a bit of last minute shopping - mainly non-Christmas items that I don't want to run out of, but I've also got to buy a wreath. And some more cards - I thought I was cutting down on my card list this year, but I seem to have made some new friends to replace those I wasn't planning on sending cards to!



Hope to 'see' you all later - good luck with those ARFs.



Deebee X

#33 Thanks Deebee - good luck with the shopping!



Tortie x

Good ARFternoon Each! Still a bit chilly, isn't it. Just pooped by with a quick pre-christmas ARF.



'This Town Aint Big Enough For Both Of Us' by Sparks, please!



And I look forward to the Thursday and Christmas Eve AR's next week.



Just as an aside, Simon. Every week, MTF requests Twilight by ELO, and it never gets picked. Next week, if she were to make such a request on a Thursday, you could play it, and yet you would both maintain your respective records of not having played it for an ARF. It would have been played as an ART.

afternoon all ive been busy on fb got nearly 2000 friends on there and have lots of requests 2 get through if any one wonts 2 add me on fb you find my name on the blogpoppets page you find me on the bloggers real names and the 30 things page



as 4 arf im going 2 go 4



something about you-level 42



deebee didnt choose it this week so i go 4 it lol



gazza x

Haven't heard it yet this year so it still can't be Christmas!!

So can only be



Fairytale of New York - Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

#10 Billie, Not a lot of news about the car. I managed to get it home last night, and was intending using my wife's car today while the garage came out to pick mine up.



But then it snowed. And snowed. And snowed. And is snowing again.



When I went to bed (about 1AM), it wasn't snowing, and there was none on the ground. By the time I got up, we had 3-4 inches. Now we have 8-10 inches and still coming down heavily.



I didn't get in to work today (fortunately, I can work from home if absolutely necessary), and I have no idea when we may be able to get out from here.

Afternoon all



The Phil Spector Christmas Album is my FAVOURITE ... compulsory listening when we put the Christmas tree up here in Eastleigh



As an alternative please may I request the totally bonkers Must Be Santa by Bob Dylan ... never got into his music before as I'm a bit too young ;-) but love this song ... and the video



Ho ho ho

its not snowing here its warm and sunny here its like the caribean here lol

Blimey - quiet on here today. Not even at 50 yet...



I may be late to the party again today (hey, work sometimes gets in the way), but here we go for the ARF starter:



The Smashing Pumpkins - Christmastime

Eels - Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas



And just because Simon mentioned aliens in yesterday's blog, how about:



Fountains Of Wayne - I Want An Alien For Christmas



If there was a three word Friday, mine would be "Electric Recliners Working!" - it's been a trial to get this far, but fingers crossed they don't get stuck in the "recline" position again...



Enjoy the weekend everyone...TTFN.

I have a seasonal HOMEWORK SUCKS question:



Why is it better to have a two-tier postage system with first and second class services? Doesn't it take more time and cost more money for the Royal Mail to sort the two different types of letters out? And what do they do with the second-class ones - put them on a shelf for an extra day, just to delay them for a bit?

#39 Alison - totally agree with you. It always put me in the mood.



#18 Welcone to DansNan! You'll be very happy here. I only started in Oct - feels like home already.



#40 gazza. I think you're telling porkies...or on the same stuff as the NYM



#10 Welcome back from lurgyland, Billie. You're sounding chipper again.



I heard a beautiful song at a concert last night, which is new to me. It was called "From the squalor of a borrowed stable".



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N58Bm1Qi5mA&feature=related



I'm sure the Rev already knows it, but first time for me, and found it really beautiful.



MTF: we all have our fingers crossed for you today. Great suggestion from Paul #35. Is the snow still bad in Somerset? I'm heading down that way on Sunday?



All for now, am in "tidying up loose ends" mode.



JBG

#39 Alison - your song is being played by SW at the mo, so doubt it will be played again in half an hour :(((

Afternoon



Hope all is well.



Going to read through.

# 44 Not to worry ... hopefully it will be played every day next week ... works Christmas do, rearranged from snow on 3 December to tonight been cancelled due to snow ... have to stay in and eat secret Santa chocs instead ...

PIGLETS ON WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

#38 Alex. You know as inconvenient and expensive as it will be, what really matters is that you are safe. Stay safe and warm.



#18 DansNan. Welcome to you. You're already educating me as I don't know Ragpickers Dream ! I will investigate, but have to do that on the other computer.



#43 JbG sim. with your link. Can't do it on this one.



#35 #44 I heard that too. Alison - we're having your fish pie tomorrow.!



#47 Hi Amanda - How intriguing! Tell us more!

A #49

Me?

#48 Enjoy your fish pie ... lovely that you think of me when you make it x



My latest culinary adventure is making sweets for my family for Christmas presents (I hope they don't read this blog)... I've made 2 batches of honeycomb so far ... the first one was like toffee, but the second one was just like Crunchie ... dipping it in chocolate too ...



Also making peppermint creams and chocolate truffles ...



The only problem is they're all coming here for the day on Sunday for a get-together ... and if they don't make it due to the snow I will have mountains of sweets ... too tempting :-)

im not going 2 get people xmas presants this year when people are waiting 4 there prezzies im going 2 say i thought about it and the thought counts lol

no one one the blog got the arf so does that mean tortie has it 4 a third week



#43 john its cooling down now but no snow it hasnt been that cold today

Boo chiz even rang and spoke to a NYM from Lincolnshire...ah well two chances next week...

Then good luck for next week PSL, go for it

Congrats on #50 Billie

Hi All



Just catching up



#36 Good choice Gazza. Shame it didn't get played - again.



#41 Electric recliners - sounds intriguing Skeeve. I think being stuck in the reclining position could be quite nice - at the very least an excuse not to get up and do the washing up!



#43 I've sung that song before, JBG. It is indeed beautiful.



#47 Hi Amanda - welcome to the blog. Hope your piglets arrive(d) safely.



And for Billie - well done for the 50th post

Evening all!



Apologoes for absence. No note other than Sally's traffic reports



Down at the bolt hole. I left work at lunchtime in a blizzard so we high-tailed it to Kent to get here before dark. Left London at 3.15 and got to cottage at 6.50. Normally takes 50 minutes. The A21 was a disaster.

Anyhoo, here now and warming up.



Welcome Dansnan! Stick around!

#57 deebee i noticed you choose a diferant song this week so i went 4 that song myself if you dont choose it i will go 4 it hopefully he will play it one day did you like the video i posted 2 you i was you tube when i saw a live version from this year thay still sound good

Good Morning Everyone



"Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

Snow on snow......."



Alopogies about not saying Nightnight last night. Fell asleep on the sofa.

#47 Amanda What news of the piglets?



Have Nicetimes everyone. Stay safe & warm.

Good Morning All



Busy weekend for me. I'm singing in my choir's Christmas concert tonight, then tomorrow afternoon we've got the church carol service. We don't have a church choir as such, but some of us get together and sing the harmonies in the carols.



And my GB arrives back from Uni today, and my Mum is arriving on Monday so the house has to be made tidy. And Mr B's getting the tree, and there's the decorations to be put up!



#59 Gazza, I did indeed see the youtube clip - thanks very much!



Hope everyone has a great weekend - stay warm and safe.



Deebee X

#61 Just read my last post back, and it sounds a bit confusing. The choir that I sing in isn't a church choir.



X

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Husband and Child 1 are stuck in High Wycombe - they got about half a mile from the halls and couldn't get any further. And Mum's stuck in Dorset - my brother was supposed to go and get her today and take her back to his in Sussex, then bring her up to us on Monday. But thanks to the bliddy snow that's not going to happen now.



At this rate, Child 2 and I will be spending Christmas on our own. And I've ordered an enormous turkey...



X

What is Good King Wenceslas, favourite food?



It's pizza, he likes it deep-pan, crisp and even.

#63 Deebee. Oh Dear.



Try not to panic. I'm sure everything will sort.



Thinking of you.

#64 Groan!



#65 Thanks Billie. How are things in your neck of the woods?



X

Hello All,



Our light snow flurry has all but vanished



Sorry to hear your family stuck in various places Deebee, hope thinks sort out quickly for you all.



#64 That made me chuckle Paul.



Hi Billie,



hope everybody is warm and safe

Snow has arrived in Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire.



Well, today could have gone better. There were a few flakes of the white stuff falling when I went to Royston for the rehearsal at half past 2 this afternoon. An hour later when we broke for a cuppa it was about 2 inches on the ground, and falling fast. Not a lot compared to what some areas have had, but I made the decision to cut my losses and come home - a journey of about 6 miles. It turned out to be the right choice as the roads were pretty bad, and I crawled home at not many miles an hour. Arrived, shut the door behind me and heaved a large sigh of relief - I'm very nervous about driving in snow and ice.



Then I remembered - Child 2 was in Cambridge, working (she has a weekend job in a boutique). So out into the snow I went again, and drove 8 miles in the other direction to pick her up - luckily her boss let her leave early.



The two of us are back home again safely now, and not intending to go ANYWHERE until the roads are cleared. Whenever that might be. I'm disappointed not to be able to sing in the concert, but such is life. I've heard from Mr B and Child 1 that they're in a hotel in Aylesbury, so please God they'll be able to make it home tomorrow.



So now I'm going to light a fire, pour myself a large glass of something alcoholic and settle down to watch the Strictly final. Every cloud...



To echo what Billie said - hope everyone is safely gathered in.



Deebee X

Glad to hear you and Child 2 are safe Deebee, hope Mr B and Child 1 are back with you tomorrow

Evening Everyone.



#67 Hi Brandon



#66 Deebee - sorry it took so long to get back to you. We've got 7/8 inches of snow which fell in two lots, one Thurs. night one Fri.night. It is FREEZING! But we are not inconvenienced at all really. A good excuse to stay home. And it is truly beautiful to look at. The whole Island is white. Late morning/early afternoon we had a weather phenomenon - don't know what it's called - maybe a sea fret or a hoar or a haar - but the area between the ground and the sky became covered with a white mist. It was magical - like being in Brigadoon!



Now listen Miss D. Auntie Billie speaking. All of you are safe. You're just not all together yet. But you will be. Enjoy your tipple and concentrate on that.



We've put up our tree this afternoon/evening. It's not 11 foot, (Simon), more like 6, but it is a Nordman and it is FINE! We decorated it with baubles, bangles and bright shiny beads all in shades of gold while listening to CDs from the wonderful Annie Lennox and the incredibly talented Susan Boyle. Bliss.



Tonight we are having Alison from Eastleigh's fish pie supper. I'll play while that's in the oven and then we might watch some of a new DVD of Tim Minchin. Does anyone know who(m) I mean?



I hope everyone is safe and well, warm & as cosy as poss.



NNGBPGSYAITM.



Love,



BP

Evening all



How lovely to read of your snowiness from the comfort of Chez Eastleigh



We've had a mere 2 inches here, much of which melted away before the sun went down and everything froze up



Will have to wait and see if my family makes it from three different directions for a Christmas get-together here tomorrow



We are having a Boxing Day left-over style lunch, so won't starve, especially if it's just the four of us



Take care all and keep safe and warm x

Billie, I saw Tim Minchin live last year. The man is a genius, almost a sort of antepodean Bill Bailey. So ******* rock, was the show, and I even bought the canvas bag. Did you know that his current project is a musical version of Roald Dahls 'Matilda'? There are a few clips here and there about the interweb thing.

#70 Billie, your posts paint such a picture, lovely to read them.



#71, Bit further south Alison and didn't get even 2" of snow, count our blessings

#70 Thanks Billie! And sometime I'd love to compare Alison's fish pie with my own, which I got from my Mum, who got it from her Mum, who got it...etc, etc



I've just been out with the dog for a pre-bedtime walk. It's quite lovely out there now - it's stopped snowing and there's about 3 or 4 inches on the ground, and it's not too cold either. If the sun comes out tomorrow it will be really pretty. Quite glad that I don't have to go anywhere though - we'll have to see about the carol service, but if worst comes to worst they can do without me.



Night night all - keep safe and warm, and sweet dreams.

In a similar vein - although not specifically Christmassy - years ago my brother (who studied languages at Uni) had a French poetry book entitled 'Mot d'Heurs Gousses Rames. It included the following classic:



Un petit d'un petit

S'étonne aux Halles

Un petit d'un petit

Ah! degrés te fallent

Indolent qui ne sort cesse

Indolent qui ne se mène

Qu'importe un petit d'un petit

Tout Gai de Reguennes.



Say it out loud... and tell when you've got it



;o)

#77 Tell ME when you've got it.



I should by the way report that husband and son are now both safely gathered in. They arrived back about an hour ago.



X

Good Afternoon All. Hope everyone is well.



Deebee #78 Glad to hear Mr. & Son are safely with you.

I didn't get your #77 DOH! Did get Paul's #76.!



From last night, #72 Paul - Tim Minchin. We discovered him by accident about 4 years ago on a R2 prog. which was introduced by Michael Parkinson. We hadn't intended to listen but loved it. We've heard him pop up several times on various things since including a R4 series with Mark Watson. Know he's been on Buzzcocks but never watched it.

We didn't know what he looked like until an article in The Times one Sat. (The same article mentioned Matilda.) Doesn't he just look amazing?

And what talent - he's mesmerising. I love the way you're sure he's being ironic but then you have this little niggling doubt. Very funny.

Our DVD is called "Ready For This?" recorded Live at The Apollo.We only watched 9 of the 18 because it was so exhausting! We already know the last track "White wine in the sun" which is stunning.



You are right, there is loads of footage on YT including his own Channel.



BTW, I loved the idea of putting Susan Boyle & Tim Minchin together in my post!



#71 Alison Hope all your plans turned out lovelyjubbly.



#72 Thank you Brandon, Kind Sir!



We're now going to make our first batch of mince pies, marzipan our cake and prep supper which is Stuffed Aubergines.



We're feeling rather festive. Hope everyone else is too.



Love



BP

Hello All,



#78, Deebee, Glad everybody safe and home. Do we only tell you when we get #77, I think you could be waiting to hear for a long time in my case!



Billie, Thanks for the info on Tim Minchin, will have to check him out



#76 Got there eventually Paul

Hi All,



All my chooks have flown back to the roost. Infact, the two offspring were both home Thursday, but son went to Kings Lynn to see his girlfriend, and daughter wisely decided not to drive to the Peak District but go back to London (her halls are available over Christmas) and party with her friends. However, yesterdays blizzard meant that they spent an extra night at their respective destinations, and they both made it home this afternoon. The snow does look lovely, but I am sure that if it hangs around too long, I may tire of it pretty quickly. At the moment, the fridge is full, and, most importantly, we had our Christmas wine delivery from ELH yesterday, so I am intending on enjoying having the whole family home.



#77 Deebee, A nursery rhyme, methinks, about a chap who fell off a wall?



Take care all, and hopefully catch up tomorrow,



Mcw x

Evening all



Pleased to report that family all safely arrived at lunchtime and have now departed, before the freeze tonight



Thoroughly enjoyed our Boxing Day meal of cold turkey, gammon and pickles, trifle and mince pies ... no one had room for Christmas cake though



Lots of laughs ... feeling very festive now



See you all on Monday x

Sounds wonderful Alison.



What are you going to do with your boxing day now?



MTF.xx

Evening All again



I’ve not played tonight. Not ‘cos I’m too ill nor have had too much to drink, (Heaven Forfend!) but because we were doing KitchenyChristmassyThings while listening to Mr. O’Grady and then we just drifted into Alan Titchmarsh. And, do you know I’m not that fond - I think he can be very esoteric and can speak in a very condescending fashion - and he’s not even a proper DJ! And it’s prerecorded! But, tonight he hit the nail on the head with his wonderful selection. If you are so inclined, do the iThingy.



We’re still listening to R2 - now it’s Brian D’arcey. (Spelling?)



We’re going to eat shortly and then prob. Tim Minchin again.



Please everyone ………….. Check TM out. You won’t be disappointed.



A PS to earlier posts. Apparently, 2009, there was an iThingy campaign to

make TM‘s “White Wine in the Sun” the Christmas No.1, but it lost out to “Rage against The Machine” and Joe McEldrey.



SHUCKS!

Hello All,



#82, Sounds a lovely day Alison.



#84 I was listening earlier Billie and enjoyed the tunes



Am a bit miffed at the moment, the supermarket delivery arranged some time ago for my elderly father and step mother for Saturday was postponed to Sunday and then today they said couldn't now deliver till after Christmas, obviously not much use, giving them some worry.



Sorry to sound off on here

Thats dreadful Brandon.



Do they live far from you?



If so, do they have a good reliable neighbour that could help out?



MTF.xx

#86 Thanks MTF, Its about 70 miles, not a problem am sure we will sort things out,



As they say the future may be bright, its certainly not going to be orange again.



To every story there is another side, had something to eat in my local cafe today and the wonderful people there offered to plate up some Christmas dinners to take up, all I can say is support your local shops, people that do really care
