Good Morning Simon, Team and Everybody



There's a big pothole at the end of my close, which appeared after the heavy snow two winters ago. It was eventually filled in, but then appeared again last November... I've learned to do a little squiggly turn* as I go out onto the road, thereby managing to avoid most of it.



I have tweeted:



A DAY IN THE LIFE by the Beatles (ten thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire...)



FIXING A HOLE also by the Beatles



HOLE IN THE GROUND by Bernard Cribbins



HIT THE ROAD JACK by Ray Charles



GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD by Elton John



That'll do for me for today - still chuffed with my mensh from yesterday. The novelty never wears off...!



Deebee ~X~



*that would be in my car, obviously.

Morning All,



Crikey Simon! I've just been talking about potholes and 'blow me down' ! your post is on that same subject! I have just returned after dropping husband off at the station, and as I was driving the new wagon with the low profile tyres, my driving was carefully slow along the lanes. Trouble is, nowadays,we all seem to be driving with our eyes searching the tarmac (some of our roads haven't even got that!) that we forget other traffic!



Anyway, my choice



CRACKIN' UP by the wonderful NICK LOWE

How about one of Alex_G's mogpoppet's favourites:

Hole - Celebrity Skin



Should keep Matt happy.

It's all gone very quiet - is everybody busy again today?

yes sorry working from home so I mustn't get too side tracked

Good Morning Each! Ken Bruce has already played 'Deeper And Deeper' by madonna, so I suppose that's out of the running. As Simon says, lots of holes in songs. I'll pitch in with...



'The Cave' by Mumford & Sons



'Oh, Well' by Fleetwood Mac



'Pot Hole Street' by R.B. Morris (Rather fine, actually)



'Way Down In The Hole' by The Blind Boys Of Alabama. A Tom Waits song. I sort of prefer Toms own version, but this is a bit more 'radio friendly'



'Hit The Road, Jack' by Ray Charles.



The Road, of course being the 17th hole on The Old Course, St. Andrews. So this fits in many ways. Dontcha think? {Please yerselves!!



'

#55 Paul, If there's little chance of Madonna's Deeper & Deeper, I wouldn't have thought there was any for Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well, wasn't it the Blues showstopper last night? I like the way you're thinking though.

Good morning,



Chris Rea - Road To Hell.



Sorry if it's already been suggested.

Gail.

In too deep. Genesis

Digging your scene. Blow monkeys

#57. So it was. I missed the end of last nights show, due to a shop-based interruption by a stroppy numpty trying for an underage sale. I wonder if he still has the flea in his ear?



So, instead of that, I'll request...



The Light at the End of the Tunnel (is the Light of an Oncoming Train)

by



HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT

HOLE HEARTED by EXTREME



Fill Me In by Craig David gets mentioned 2 days in a row - going for a hat-trick?

#60 Cigs or booze, Paul?



When I was at school we had no problem getting cigarettes underage. There was a dear little old lady ran a shop right outside the school gates. She'd sell you a single cigarette and a single match for 5p.

How about:

There was I, diggin' an 'ole, 'ole in the ground by the sainted Bernard Cribbins

and

Hole in my shoe - but only the version performed by The Young Ones' neil.



Nearly got knocked off my push-bike by a mad motorist as I wiggled around a pot-hole. Mind you, he would have come close to knocking me off even if I'd been cycling a straight line.

Hi Simon,

I hope you can allow:

Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Atomic Kitten - Whole Again

But I also love #41's Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel - Brilliant!

I'll dust off the tumbleweed then, shall I?

Good afternoon,



Does everyone else have loads of roadworks filling in potholes in their areas at the moment? We think the local councils are spending what is left in their budgets before the end of the financial year. As a homage to all the temporary traffic lights I would like to suggest:



RED LIGHT SPELLS DANGER by Billy Ocean



I nearly came a cropper in a country lane the other day when I drove round a corner expecting to come across the pothole that has been there since December and instead came across a red light. Won't get played because it is way too off at a tangent but there you go!



Have a good day.x

No. 65 Allow me Deebee. I already have my marigolds on so I am ready to go.

Good Afternoon All ) Wherever you may be hiding! ;)



Firstly, I LOVED Sugarland's cover of 'Life In A Northern Town' last night, and I have great fondness for the original too :)



Ahh so that's what B&B is doing in Bologna ;)



My granddad used to be a big fan of Wilbur Smith's books, but I've never read one myself. TBH from the covers (often guns/other weaponry mixed with provocative images of young women) they never really looked like my sort of caper, though I may be guilty of judging a book by it's cover...



No mensh chasing from me, it's far to late, but I hope Bernard Cribbins gets an airing :)

#67 Be my guest Julia.



I find myself unexpectedly alone this afternoon. However, I have stuff to do. Mustn't get too distracted...



;o)



~X~

#63 Dotted Crotchet, so you're the cyclist who doesn't ride on the pavement? But, do you stop at traffic lights? ;-)



#66 Julia, I think the government is throwing some money at local councils to fill the holes. I can't see it making much difference for any length of time. If your roads are anything like ours, the main problem is the holes are being caused by the old patchings coming away. The roads need £billions to get them into a fit state for the amount of traffic they have to carry. We'll be doing this all again next Spring.

Here's my latest blog for those who wish to partake :) https://mrsmoogsmadworld.blogspot.com/2011/03/can-we-ever-live-simply-that-others.html



Also, if you are friends with me on Facebook, please respond to my question r.e my next blog, if you can, or have something you want to know, many thanks :)

Hi Simon



How about that song about digging a hole by Bernard Cribbins *Slopes off gingerly*



Maw x

#66 & #70 There is also a flurry of pot-hole filling in activity going on around here! I agree Harry, that much of it is due to inferior materials being used to fill in past pot-holes, which means councils have to spend even more money redoing the work they've already done *Rolls eyes* But then if local authorities didn't try to cut corners and use cheap materials, I would wonder what was up with them! *End Sarcasm*

#65 Better do so Deebee before The Floorboards start creaking!



What's happened to Toots this week? She's been very quiet!



Going completely off topic, but my faith in plumbers has been restored today! I called out a local one to repair a tap and leaking sink. He arrived (no call-out charge) - he didn't suck in his cheeks and say it would be expensive :), in fact he didn't do anything at all! The tap manufacturers have gone out of business and he didn't want to do a botched job, and the sink leak would necessitate demolishing the sink (it's only 2 years old) and he didn't think the leak was bad enough to require such drastic action - it will 'lime over' in time and stop. He gave me the cost of replacing the tap with an equivalent model and left, without asking for any payment or cups of tea!

#66, 70, 73 - they seem to have given up just filling the holes round here and are going for complete resurfacing - I assume it will last longer than last year's repairs!

How about



Ian Dury - Hit me with your Rhythm Stick



for those men with the machines that tamp down the tarmac!



Cheers

#75 Tortie, I wouldn't hold your breath! About 3 miles of the A6, from the M6 to Carlisle city centre, was completely resurfaced in November; they hadn't even painted the lines on the road when the first frosts came. It's full of holes again now and needs some major work.

#77 Oh well, assuming we don't get any more heavy frosts, we should have a smooth ride this spring and summer at least!

#71 Zoe - I'll read you're blog when I get home. Looking forward to it! That reminds me, must do something about writing my next on. I have an idea for it...

And I saw your post on FB. As you know, I know a fair bit about that subject myself. But I'll be very interested to read others' questions, and your answers to them.



#72 Hi Mistletoe-and-wine - I've been meaning to message you on FB. Not long now till your trip to the UK. And mine to the States! Whoop whoop!



~X~

#79 and here's the e that got away...



~X~

#79 Thanks Deebee :)



It's been another lovely day here, sun shining and quite warm after a chilly start, sounds like rain tomorrow though :/

I know I'm not a prolific poster, but it really is quiet around here this afternoon! Are people so put off by the 3 minute warning?



Or are you enjoying the last of the sunshine before the rain arrives? : )

Sunshine? What sunshine?



Tortie, I think it's probably because the more prolific posters amoungst us are off doing other things.



~X~

I've not been on since I posted a song first thing, as I had to dash out and only just back home! The three minute thingy is a nuisance though!!! :o(

Rain? What rain?

It's been quite a busy day for me, for a change!



But, time to tidy up and start packing away.



I hope you all enjoy the show and all get the menshes you deserve.



See you all tomorrow

A naked man did WHAT to Simon ???!!!!

#87 That made me LOL Simon said that a naked man sang his 'Enjoy yourself...' jingle at him in the gym!! :D



We have a threat of rain here now :( The "It's spitting!" panic had me running out to get the washing in from the line.



It has been quiet the last couple of days :/ Hope everyone is o.k and just busy *Frets*

Well done on the mensh Lucie's Mum :) There might have been others because I didn't catch them all, so well done to everyone who got a mensh.

Afternoon All.



Got back just in time for the start of the show but it wouldn't let me post!



Well done on the mensh Lucie's Mum!

Didn't recognise any names for The Beatles.



Didn't suggest it myself cos didn't think it would be played. What do I know?

Since Deeves and I were #1 and #2 today, both having chosen the Traffic song, I would have thought she'd have been mentioned too, so I guess Simon is saving her name for one of her other choices of songs!!!

Well done Deebee on your Hit The Road Jack!!!

Deebeedeebeedeebee!



"Thanks for the suggestion"!

Evening all!



Another day ticked off. Signed off more of the key tasks on the project plan. So all in hand for Launch 1 on Friday and Launch 2 on Monday. I have been singing The Final Countdown all day.



Hence my absence - critical stage of 2 projects and t'internet ban have combined to restrict blog playtimes.



Hope all are well and thriving!



Well done Luciesmum!



Sewer - Deebee, Rosie says thank you for suggesting 'her' tune! There is a whole lot of Rosie now - she is finally growing. I thought she was going to be a hobbit cat (small with furry feet). Jack is growing too - long ways. He looks like a draught excluder.



Looking forward to Wilbur Smith. My Dad and I were big fans. Haven't read any of the more recent books - seems odd without having my Dad to share them with.



Zoe - will read your blog later.



Alex-G

Sewer??? I swear I typed "awwwwww". Sorry Deebee!



And well done on the mensh!!

Well done to Brandon!

Zoe - just read your blog. Spot on. Love your view of the world and the eloquent way you express it.



A-G

Well done Luciesmum and Deebee

Evening all

Seems very quiet in these parts, like walking into a country pub on a Tuesday evening.



Have never read anything by Wilbur Smith, but I can't say this interview is making me rush to the Stones of Water to buy any of his tomes....
