Hello again to Simon's Gang and blogpickers -



How very civilised and respectable this is - choosing choons without a stampede - just like the old days

;^)

Thank you PoS. I think I tweeted the right title, anyhow...



Love your suggestion MTF - one of my favourite Billy Joel songs. Hope it gets played.



~X~

#19 and #24 Billy Joel's Honesty is fabulous.

ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOL YARD - Paul Simon



(...who knows what the crime was, but it was against the law, and he ended up on the cover of Newsweek. Now, if he had had a super injunction....)

Morning Deebee and all.



One of my favourites too.



Did Lucies Mum mention sunshine? Can someone jog my memory as to what that is like.



MTF.xx

Good morning Simon, Team, NYM and fellow blogpoppets!



Only just been able to sign in - bit of a battle this morning! My suggestions were going to be:



DON'T SPEAK - No Doubt

SECRETS THAT YOU KEEP - Mud



Would love to hear those. Would also like to second the excellent Alan Parsons suggestion from the lovely Katy.



Started lovely here in London but has now turned very grey and some big clouds building up. The poor garden needs the rain so you won't hear me complaining.



Congrats again to the whole Drivetime team on the well-deserved success.



Back later



Alex-Girl

Hurray Hurray, I made it on at last.



How comes there seems to be quite a lot of maintenance work going on but not a lot of difference made?



Any hoo, can't think of owt at the mo'



Maybes Laters



A.



p.s.#26 Good to 'see' you again BandB.

Ooh, just thought of a couple more:

or



BEHIND CLOSED DOORS - Charlie Rich



A-G

#27 #28 Yes, it's looking very grey here in Cambridgeshire too. I think we've had summer... :(

#29 - thanks Alice! Relieved to be back in the fold...

Last one from me, I promise. (Making hay while Billie isn't around!)



No Deevs either??



IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW - Duran Duran

I assume that these people who apply for injunctions walk into the courtroom and say:

Another excellent suggestion from Katy at #34!

Aw, shucks, and the lovely....

Good afternoon Simon, Team, NYM and of course award winning blogpoppets!



I second Deebee's request for a team photo!



How lovely to have you back Simon. RA is an excellent stand in but I have to confess I missed the show. Jet lag seems to have got the better of me and I'm running on slow at the mo. Who'd have known Cambridge jet lag would be so much worse than American jet lag ;-)



No choon offers from me today. I shall instead look forward to whoop whooping for any of the above, especially Billy J who is one of my favs).



X

#51 Mo, there's a photo on FB now

Is it too late to ask for..



SHOUT TO THE TOP - Style Council

#52 Thank you Tortie x

#27 MTF... I am just back from walking my dogs on the beach... and as anyone in or around Edinburgh will tell you, it is very sunny here with a lovely blue sky... and I am about to go and take a picture in the garden to show you...



Back in a bit! x

Good afternoon,



Just a couple from me:



ME AND MRS JONES by Billy Paul

SECRET LOVERS by Atlantic Star



Just munching on a Fishfinger sandwich. Haven't had one since I was a kid. Is that bad?

Hello, just in a handover meeting at new place thinking oh my god i want to stay where i am currently.... So nervous.

Anyway enough of that, here's my efforts on superthingies:

1. SILENCE IS GOLDEN

2. STOP Spice Girls

3. OPEN YOUR HEART Madonna

4. TELL HER ABOUT IT Billy Joel

5. TELL HIM The Hello Band?

6. DO NOTHING The Specials

7. ITS OH SO QUIET Bjork

PS I am so glad your chat is with Mark Radcliffe and not Jeffrey Archer, Simon ;-)



x

#56 I think it's bad that you waited until now to remind yourself how delish they are J39 ;-)



Is there a DT eggtimer that we can use to while away the 3 minute wait?

Waiting in anticipation for Lucies Mums pic to arrive :)



MTF.xx

Afternoon all



Judging by one of the alleged stories I've read, would it be naughty to suggest "Rawhide" again? ;-)



If Frankie Howard was still alive I think he would be saying "twitter ye not" at every opportunity at the moment!



This whole thing is a right farce at the moment. My brother tells me Private Eye have openly been alluding to the footballer in recent weeks by reference to him appearing "anonymous" in some games. Another one of the names was outed in a Daily Mail column by using the name of his TV show as an adjective to describe his behaviour.



Having seen a list of names on a website on the form of a "match the pictures to the question" quiz (with the names appearing if you hover the mouse over the picture) I can't believe any family member of any of the names isn't aware that their names are openly being bandied about.



So on that basis I will suggest:



FOOLISH GAMES - Jewel

Or,



MY CHEATING HEART - Energy Orchard

Here you are MTF #60... sorry for the delay... stopped to make a cheese & pickle sandwich and a Tunnocks' teacake on route! There are a few white fluffy clouds around now since taking this pic... but it really is very sunny!



https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2801/5709391439_39e925d9bb_b.jpg

How brilliant is that Lucies Mum? Clever you, and yes, the bluest of skies.



Thank you :)



MTF.xx

What's your weather like MTF?

In a word... Gusty!!



See you still have blossom, ours has long since gone. Looks like being a bumper year for fruit trees.



MTF.xx

Hello again!



Still very grey here and getting chilly. Regretting the decision to go bare-legged today!



Fish finger sarnie sounds lovely Julia!



Super pic LuciesMum.



Glad you are feeling better, MTF. Don't like to think of our Tooth Fairy being poorly!



Know what you mean on the jet lag Mo. I used to have to travel to Edinburgh for 1-2 days per week and it always knocked me for 6!





Laters



A-G

Afternoon all.



Lucies Mum, lovely photo. Cold and wet here, heating back on.



csn. xx

Thanks Alex.



Brrr at the bare legs. Cant you nip out and get some thick socks? ;) xx

#63 fab LuciesMum, more cloud than blue sky here but still pretty mild - although not as warm as Cambridge :-(



x

Just had call from estate agent, apologising for not letting me know about a viewing at 3.30 today. Guess who left the house without doing the washing up, has laundry hanging in the spare room and has generally left the place looking untidy? Estate agent kindly volunteered to get there early to tidy up as it is his fault but I don't really want him moving my smalls (or Mr P's). So early day for me - leave work just after 2, dash home and do a quick whizzle round, then work from home for the rest of the day. Whoop whoop!



Oh, and we are viewing 4 properties Saturday week. Those of you who know of my phobia will laugh when I tell you that every one of those properties has a pond. Not an ornamental little thing either - large natural ponds with streams. That should cure me - or else I spend the rest of my days living in constant terror!! LOL.

#66 MTF... it's mock orange blossom (think that's what it's called) and if you're in the south, you're probably a couple of weeks ahead of us... I know that having lived in the West Country, blossoms and hedges of Hawthorn are usually out a couple of weeks ahead of Scotland. There is an abundance of Hawthorn this year... the hedges are white with it, same with the bright yellow gorse and broom... loads of it around here!

Good luck Alex.... Like the word 'whizzle'



Everything was very early here Lucies Mum. I think we had all the hawthorn etc at the beginning of April.



I didn't know you had lived down this way. You moved a fair distance then?



Oops have just clocked the time..... Gotta fly. Good luck everyone after 5.05.



MTF.xx

#69 Thick socks would look just the thing with my suit and court shoes!!!



Our hawthorn tree started flowering in mid April which was earlier than usual. It normally follows the lilac but this year both were in full bloom at the same time. Made for a remarkable colour display as the lilac is deep purple and the hawthorn is pink.

#73 MTF... I stopped off in in Cheshire for a few years before living up here! :o)



xx

Good Afternoon All :)



*Testing* The blog doesn't like me today, it keeps telling me there is a problem with my posts :(



Has this worked... :S

#72 Mock orange blossom - is that a philadephus? Ours hasn't started yet.



Right, I must fly too - a house to sell!



Will be back later!

What a lovely picture, LuciesMum! When we were talking about possible locations for the next blog meet, Edinburgh was one of the places mentioned. If it's as pretty as that, then I'm there!



Alex - fingets crossed for your house sale. I'm sure the viewers will be able to see past Mr P's smalls to the potential of the place!



Zoe - yes, it's worked! *waves*



~X~

[Weather chat - grey here, but warm]



#61 Ken re: SuperInjunctions - Irish newspapers are also outside UK jurisdiction - not that I'm suggesting that anyone would even consider googling them.





Anyway, I have managed to ascertain that I'm NOT on the surgery list this week - it's OK, I'm really relaxed about it now - so I just might go ahead and plan [without actually organising it so it all seems delightfully spontaneous] to have a Eurovision gathering here on Sat night.



We still have family visiting for a few more days, and as most of them live in Europe - what better way to keep them entertained ?



Nothing too elaborate like flags and stuff - but definitely some edibles, imbibables and individual score cards ...

YAY! FINALLY!!



I thought I'd been sent to Coventry, not that there's anything wrong with Coventry (I presume, as I haven't actually been there)



I tweeted all my oldie suggestions this morning, but just for the record they were...



GETTING AWAY WITH IT - ELECTRONIC



LIVE TO TELL - MADONNA



OUR LIPS ARE SEALED - FUN BOY THREE



SECRET LOVER - STEVIE WONDER



NOBODY KNOWS - THE TONY RICH PROJECT



It's dry but rather cloudy here today, so long as it doesn't rain on my washing, I don't mind :S



Looking forward to hearing Mark Radcliffe on the show, I likes him, glad it's not that other fellow, although I suspect he would have been the more topical choice...

#78 LOL r.e Mr P's smalls!



#79 A Eurovision party sounds good Katy :) I'll be cheering Jedward on, I supported them during X Factor, because the press were vile towards them. Criticising their 'singing' talent is one thing, but the media got personal and nasty, and they are sweet boys...if a little wearing on the nerves!

#77 Alex Girl... I'm presuming that's what it's called as my OH reckons it is... but having just googled 'mock orange', I'm not so sure, as there are a couple of different looking 'mock orange' shrubs but ours has quite a strong smell and resembles some of the pics!



Does yours look anything like any in pics below?



https://www.google.co.uk/search?um=1&hl=en&biw=1238&bih=1002&tbm=isch&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&q=Mock%20orange%20blossom

#76 Zoe - same here. Has made my posts seem very disjointed and stuff I was going to say to people , hasn't been said and it looks as though I'm not interested in anything they are saying, which I am ....



LuciesMum's pic of Edinburgh which looks like a pic of a beautiful blue sky and some blossom. Am chuckling at Deebee's...."Edinburgh was one of the places mentioned. If it's as pretty as that, then I'm there!" Now come on Deebeedeebs - how can you tell?

;^)





Mo - Mark Radcliffe or ...Jeffrey Archer? No contest. Don't they call that a no brainer nowadays?

Am currently reading one of Mark Radcliffes' other books about his life and music called 'Thank You For The Days' - A Boy's Own Adventures In Radio and Beyond

#76 Deebee, did you see my post #46?

I did mean #78 Sorry for the confusion ZUU.



A.

Puntime?





UP THE INJUNCTION - SQUEEZE



COURT IN A MOMENT - SUGABABES



PAPARAZZI - LADY GAGGER





:^)

GOOD MORNING JUDGE by 10cc seems the best place to start !

#84 Yes - and no, I haven't received any reply from you :( Perhaps we should just start again.



#79 I like the idea of a Eurovision party, KatyMatey. The Eurovision Song Contest was the first TV show I ever saw in colour. We only had a black and white TV at the time, but I remember going to some friends of my parents and watching it there. I was absolutely blown away by the whole thing! Can't remember what year it was, or who was in it but I was quite young at the time - young enough that it was a special treat to be able to stay up and watch.



~X~

This blog is being rather capricious -



It liked my posts above, but decided I couldn't post anything to do with Eric Clapton [that was for Deebeedeebs] or Mr P's underwear [that was for AlexG]



I'd also like to know where Harry is.

#76 Same here Katy :( The blog is now bouncing, and I keep getting signed out and am unable to get back in without my posts going up the spout!



#85 No worries Alice :)

#89 Harry is trying to find a dictionary to look up "capricious" ............ lovely word and I'm going to use it myself as soon as I can! :-)



Sorry for not being around much today (or yesterday for that matter). I have loads of work on. I've just bought c.7000 books and they need sorting and cataloguing - much is junk but a few gems too. Who'd have thought that a Byron 1st edition could be worth so little ....... Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice, London: John Murray, 1st Edition, 1821 ........ similar copy to the one I have sold at auction in February for £35. I guess this is down to the capricious nature of modern book collectors (see what I did there?)

#91 - ah Harry, the smell of dusty books. My suggestion - catalogue and sort them by colour... all the red ones together, all the blue ones etc etc. It'll be much quicker, and - bluntly - someone else could do it for you!



What value Tootles The Taxi these days?

#92 Hi B&B ...... on ABE, Oxfam in Thame are asking £60 for copy of Tootles the Taxi in (ONLY) Good+ condition in Good wrapper.



If someone could explain to me how Tootles the Taxi (barely 50 years old) can be worth twice as much as one of our finest poet's books (which is almost 200 years old) I'd be delighted to listen :-)

#93 Ah... that's good then, as mine is manky, scribbled in and well-loved. Anyone who has a copy of Tootles in Good Condition had a sad childhood!!



Well, I have a little phoenician bowl about 3000 years old that I bought in Byblos, and it was an archaeological relic when Jesus was around... and it's worth hardly anything, while a Clarice Cliffe jug knocked out in my lifetime is worth a zillion bucks. The answer, Harry, is that it's whatever is fashionable amongst the classes who chatter.



Superinjunctions will go out of fashion soon, and you'll be able to pick one of those up for about a tenner.

#94 Hmmmmm....... would this be capricious? LOL

Aaaarrrggghh! Got home 3pm. Removed the smalls and other laundry, washed up, dried up, put away, cleaned bathroom, plumper cushions, air freshened. 3.30 - phone rang: "can we do the viewing at 6.30 instead?"



I repeat: aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!

#95 - it may indeed be Harry. Like the wind........

#96 I have aaaarghed in a very similar manner for a very similar reason Alex, only our viewers simply cancelled!

#98. It's so frustrating isn't it? Not only do we have to live in a show home "just in case" but you are at the mercy of the capriciousness of viewers who seem to have little consideration!! Oh well, means to an end... X

Alex Girl, at least you have done all the work and can rest until 6.30!
