'YOU CAN GET IT IF YOU REALLY WANT' JIMMY CLIFF

Good Morning All,



This is the first year that I have not got a child at home revising. My GD has already taken her first year University exams. My GB has his third year exams starting on Tuesday, and for someone who has never been fazed by exams in his life, it sounds as if, for once, he has been revising hard.



My raindance did pay off, if only for a light shower that wet the dust! Light rain falling today, but not enough unfortunately. The ground is solid here, I am not sure how the plants are all surviving.



Happy Monday to you, too, Katy and all fellow blogsters

#36 - Hurricane Smith... a two-hit wonder with two great, odd songs.

Yes, but 'Normal' Smith had more strings to his bow B&B.



MTF.xx

#37 B&B, Norman Smith may have only had two hits but he was a leading producer who worked with, amongst others, the Beatles. And I understand it was John Lennon who gave him the nickname "Hurricane".

WE CAN WORK IT OUT - The Beatles



I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - Polly Darton

Back for a coffee break - has the mensh chasing slowed down at all yet?



;o)



Some top tunes suggested above. The NYM is going to have his work cut out today!



Actually, I might go out and buy that guy's book. I could really have done with some parenting advice this morning. Don't really want to share on here, but I may be contacting one or two of you on FB. Does it ever get easier...?

Morning Everyone and, of couse, Simon Fellow Exam Stress Sufferer, The Team and The NYM,



The elderGB has his History AS exam tomorrow and got up early to revise this morning! First sign of any real revision I've seen - too little too late? Time will tell.



My suggestion is



RELAX, DON'T DO IT - FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD.



Busy at the grindstone today but hope to be back in a bit to catch up.



Cheery bye for now,



~ xx

#53 I'm still here - thanks Deebee. I'll be disappearing in about 5 mins.



Also, Deebee - have you seen/heard the line up for Radio 2's 'day' in June - Sir Ammo and Jamie Cullum at 07.00 - what a great way to start the day! : )

if at first you don't succeed ....





WHAT IS LIFE - GEORGE HARRISON



OLD AND WISE - ALAN PARSONS PROJECT



BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY - THE FOUR SEASONS



BIG BOYS DON'T CRY - LOLLY

#47 # 48 MTF - it is a great little song, so thanks anyway! Hurrucane Smith was almost 50 when he cut "Oh Babe..." eh? There's hope for me still. He was 85 when he died, bless him.

Good Morning Each!



'Parental Guidance' by Judas Priest



I'm not sure that that one exactly fits the theme, but this one does...



'Parents' by Desmond Dekker.

Aha, you found the Sunday Times link then B&B?



The video for 'Oh Babe' has me in stitches. What a Dude!

looking forward to hearing Simon in the morning on June 22nd :-) (even if it is only for an hour)



How about.... MAMMA USED TO SAY - JUNIOR

Thinking cap is on for some more

I've now chosen 36 songs - of wildly different genre.

Do you think I might get my once a month mensh?



;^)

I've a free morning, as may be obvious from my proliferation of choon choices [lol] and have been catching up on Fb -

Reading and seeing the interesting exchanges from 'friends' [who are also Mayobloggers] arising from - say, the Name a Film sequence, or the current Book Week thingy - it seems a pity that those conversations aren't in here for everyone to join in with ...

I've just had a quick look at the Radio 2 Day page and I feel quite shocked at the number of white men who present shows on Radio2. Although Vanessa Felz and Elaine Page are missing from the photo, so are Jeremy Vine, Mike Harding, Paul Jones, Alex Lester, Dermot O'Leary, Alan Titchmarsh and Paul O'Grady. Good to see that Radio2 is doing it's best to keep white middle-aged (and a few old) men off the streets :-)

#74 I shall be joining in with the Book Week thingy but don't have a book to hand, just columns of numbers.



Would love to see your reaction if you get 36 menshes, Katy ;-)



x

#75 Please ignore the apostrophe in "it's" :-)

Hmmm, not sure what the Radio 2 Day is - will go and have a look in a bit.



Billie - the link to rhubarb and custard cake. I was going to pop it on yesterday but didn't as I wasn't sure if I'd be modded.



https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10500/rhubarb-and-custard-cake



It really is v easy and quite delish.

We're only making plans for Nigel - XTC

Parental advice:

"Stop your messing around,

Time to think of your future"



it has to be:

RUDI, A MESSAGE TO YOU - THE SPECIALS

Surely it has to be Que Sera Sera, Doris Day???



Who can resist a bit of Doris to start the week??



T xxx

Well had a look at the Radio 2 Day page - looks to be a good day. Waking up with (or to?) the Drivetime Dude is going to be just fab - great way to start the day I'd say :)



Katy Maty - a morning to enjoy a guilt-free catch up on FB, you lucky thing.



MCW - perhaps the raindance needs refining - we've had more rain than was forecast for our area - not that I'm complaining we've been rain free for a few weeks now despite having spells of black clouds hanging about overhead. Will check how hard / soft the soil is when I get home. The dry weather hasn't stopped the grass or the weeds from growing - how does that happen? I have to say my roses are looking fab this year - best they've ever looked. Normally the leaves are covered in black spot and looking a bit poorly but this year they are glossy and wholesome looking with not a hint of black spot.



~ xx

#73 KatyMatey - LOL! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the record for the number of song suggestions was 100, by occasional blogger Phillipa Chapman.



#57 and #72 Sounds great - can't wait! Except that, my usual morning routine is as follows. Walk the dog at 7, back by about 20 past then jump in the shower. Dress and dry my hair (this takes some time as there's a lot of it!) Down to breakfast and the radio on on about 7.55. So it looks like I'm going to have to get up a bit earier on 22nd June...



~X~

#83 feel free to insert the letter l in my last post...

Hmmmmm ........... I thought the theme was "SONGS WITH ADVICE FOR PARENTS"?

Ooops I think I have gone with giving advice to kids from parents...:-S

#85 yes Harry - now you say that, it IS rather ambiguous - - - -



I've been choosing choons that are mainly advice for parents to give to their children ..





Don't tell me I've got to find 36 more choons which are advice to give to the parents on being parents!

#86 You can do anything you want, PSL; you're the ARFO Queen :-)

Yay!!!



I've done the one thing we drum into our children..."READ THE QUESTION" oh and don't waste time telling the examiner what you know if he hasn't asked for it!



epic FAIL.....can I do a re-sit??

1. Talk Talk by Talk Talk

2. Listen to what the man said - Paul Mac and Wings

3. Shut up - Madness

4. Do anything you wanna do? Eddie and the Hot rods

5. Is there something I should Know - Duran Duran

6. Listen do wanna know a secret - Billy J Kramer

7. Stop, look and listen - The Sytlistics

8. You keep it all in - Beautiful South

9. Take it to the limit - The Eagles

10. Don't give up - Bryan Adams and Chicane

#85 - #88 - In that case, my song suggestion would probably be aimed at would-be parents - see #56 ;)



Deebee - what a lovely, relaxed way to start the day. Our radio is on from just before 7 am. On the days I'm not up at 6 for a run, I get up just before 7, stuff stuff into the washing machine, empty the dishwasher, finishing touches to lunchboxes, liberate the rabbit into his run, shower, etc, make breakfast for the youngerGB and me, hang out washing and out the door for about 8.30. Altogether I spend about half an hour in the kitchen in the morning so only ever hear snippets of CLP's show. May be obliged to have the MP3 player plugged into my lugs on the 22nd - wouldn't want to miss a second.



~ xx

is there any advice for parents???



'make yours a happy home' Gladys Knight and The Pips

#89 - PSL, I have a feeling the theme is similar to an English Literature exam question - open to interpretation - as long as you can make the answer fit the question (with appropriate quotes as back up) it'll be okay. I've heard tunes being played that I didn't think altogether fitted the theme.



~ xx

'some things are better left unsaid' Kitty Lester

Just been watching the latest shuttle launch. Amazing!
