Wednesday Girl
Well a lovely morning in these parts, I trust the world is in bloom with you. The natural, perfect antidote to a bad night's football. Safe in the company of fellow THFC clan members, we returned to that role beloved of so many football supporters - wallowing in self pity. Then, first thing, I had to perform school run duties with a few Arsenal supporting kids. I thought momentarily of driving past and leaving them on the pavement, waving cheerily as I passed. But of course sanity prevailed and respectful, courteous conversation ensued.
Really enjoyed yesterday's show. The confession was great fun (quite a few 'innocent but nude' confessions coming in now) and a pleasure to chat with Emmy Lou Harris. Today we bring you Debbie Harry who has a new Blondie album out. She was Deborah Harry for a while but that never felt right and I think all is well with calling her Debbie now. `The album is 'Panic Of Girls' and is the first Blondie album for the best part of a decade. It feels like every one of the 33 years since seeing her on TOTP performing 'Denis' from 'Plastic Letters' and thinking "Wow". I interviewed her for her autobiography a few years back and looking forward again to the challenge!
In the spirit of our guest, let's do songs for BLONDES. Male, female, natural and otherwise, BLONDES have the most fun, gentlemen prefer them and we are dumb (I consider myself dark blonde in case you were wondering).
Have a gentle, respectful Wednesday, see you after 5.

A lovely sunny spring-like day here in Oxford - makes the highlights in my blonde hair shine!!
If I could guarantee that foregoing my hairdresser and leaving my locks to go grey/white I would look like Emmylou, then I would do it!!
Anyway, in terms of Blonde songs, it's hard, obviously, as a blonde to use my brain for anything that strenuous - and suspect that the early birds must be using 'Lyric search' websites, which I did once but was told off by my IT guy as it downloaded nasty spyware..blog poppets you have been warned!
So all I can think of is 'Leggy Blonde' by the excellent Flight of the Conchords - but think it may not be suitable for R2, plus although I do have legs, being a diminitive five foot-ish oject to their heightist aspersions....oh and of course would like to 2nd, 3rd or 4th Rod's 'Blondes have more fun'!

Gosh, I have missed you all.
I have worked the last 12 days straight and am totally pooped. The sun is shining so I have decided to take a well deserved day off (ok, so I don't get paid as a result but whatever) and plan to be at one with the garden and my book.
Project 1 went live on Friday and Project 2 on Monday. Remarkably few issues. For those that are interested, go to BBC News, the Business section and then Your Money. There is an article about a new financial advice service. I did that. Not the article, but the service. Some companies take 2 years to rebrand - we did it in 6 months. Phew.
Catching up:
Katy, sorry to hear about the delay to your op. My sister has recently had the same experience so I know how frustrating it is when you have prepared yourself for it. Sounds like you are enjoying the respite though!
Chickster, enjoy the Wizard!
Deebee, you will be fine in NYC! Very envious. More than happy to come with you if you need support!!
Charlie Sheen - I know the discussion is closed but just to say that I would have picked tunes such as "Wall Street Shuffle", 10cc or "Army Dreamers" Kate Bush in reference to his film career rather than referring to his mental state. Lets hope he gets better.
Blondes - yep, that's me. Well, with white, silver and grey as well. I aspire to the Emmylou look so never been tempted by the bottle (well, not of hair colour anyway. Other bottles - possibly). Can't think of any tunes that haven't already been suggested.
Anyhow, I am going to enjoy my workfree Wednesday and I will swing by later.
Hope everyone is well and happy
Alex Wednesday-Girl

#65 and #81 Peter Skellern used to tell a story in his live show (which I went to a few times - he was a bit of a weird crush of mine at one time) about when he was a teenage lad having piano lessons. He told it a lot better than I could repeat it here, but the basic idea was that one week the piano teacher gave him 'the girl with the flaxen hair' to practice. He duly went away and spent the week working hard on the piece (it's quite a difficult piece to play). The following week he came back and performed the piece to his teacher, fully expecting to be praised at all his hard work. But instead the teacher said "No, no, no - you don't play it like that at all!" Then the teacher asked him "Are you a virgin?", to which he sheepishly admitted he was. (Actually, I hope this story isn't going to get removed by the modders - it's a lot more innocent than one or two earlier posts ^ ^ ^) So the teacher said "You can't possibly play this piece in your current state!"
And Mr Skellern recounted how he particularly enjoyed that week's homework.....

Did you watch or read True Blood? I have only watched. Would I be alone in thinking that the Season Finale was a bit underwhelming?

#91 Mo - the Radio Times (other listings magazines also available) lists the guests for each week. I'll have a check when I get home to see if it will be next week's - I hope not, or I won't be able to listen to it till I get back.
#92 Absolutely Harry. Mr Skellern's teacher was a wise man.

Re. Girl With the Flaxen Hair, which I can just about play on the old johanna, and the comments regarding its orgasmic brevity....the best thing is to play it again, slower, as soon as you have finished it first time around.
Too late for songs not already suggested I guess, but I would concur with Zoe UU and suggest
SORROW - David Bowie (with Dave's little Elvis impersonations towards the end..."uh -huh").
I'd love to think this would get played, but suspect it wouldn't...
YOU'RE MORE THAN FAIR - Ian Dury
"You're more than fair
You;ve got a gorgeous bum.
Why don't you come to my house
And meet my mum..."
