Good morning to everyone. Hope to do more blogging today.



Have a good one.

Morning Harry, SImon and everyone



COME ON FEEL THE NOISE by Oasis



..... would be a lively start to the weekend please Simon!



LuciesMum x

Where is everyone this morning?



I'm going to have a listen to my Oasis tune before you all arrive! :o)

Good morning Simon, Team, NYM and blogpoppets!



Pump it Up - Elvis Costello and the Attractions for AFO



please Simon (1-1/2 votes) and Andy (1/2 a vote?)



Still internetless at home (and it is very painful) so will have many Wittertainment (no other film review shows.......) to catch up on. Will definitely be reconnected next Thurs at the latest. Have a long list of music as recommended by you peeps to explore/download.

Morning folks... first out of the trap today Harry!



I don't think you can go wrong for the ARFO by admitting that a bit of guitar-driven seventies glam pop is the best way to start the weekend. So I offer...



LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN - Sweet.



But I also think there's nothing wrong with suggesting one of the presenter's favourite songs in the hope that it might fall upon fertile ground, so my alternative aelection would have to be



STAY WITH ME - The Faces



See you all later....

Morning Lord Ammo, team, NYM and budgie-smuggling wedgie-enhanced bloggers,



Something loud and lively and energising for the ARFO, you say?

Something head-nodding and steering-wheel bashing?

Something for the jet-setters heading off for half-term?

Something French for the weekend, sir?

Something for the G8 in Deauville?

Something for those revising their avoirs and etres for GCSE's?



I have just the thing..



CA PLANE POUR MOI - Plastic Bertand

Good Morning Simon, team and Blogpoppets



No ARFO suggestion from me today. It's my GB's 21st birthday (how did that happen?) and we're all off to see 'We will rock you', so I won't get to hear any of the show. I did think about requesting a Queen song, but CLP has that pretty much sewn up this morning, so I didn't think there would be much chance of it getting played.



Back in a bit with a review of last night...



Deebee ~X~

#3 Hi LuciesMum, I am here!



x

Morning all



Hope you had a great time last night Deebee and some Queen tonight a guitar fuelled couple of days for you!



Can I suggest for ARFO



THE CALL - LET THE DAY BEGIN



Just because I love it.



Cheers



A

Happy 21st Deebee's GB! We Will Rock You is Fab! Look forward to hearing review from last night.

Addressing the jury....



Dear Sirs, It has come to my attention, that we never get an ELO opener as an ARF.



Please consider my plea and give *** Twilight *** by ELO a fair trial.



Its one of my guilty pleasures that I think should be shared amongst others.



Go on, go on, go on...



MTF.xx

Morning everybody,



How about YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH - Meat Loaf for the ARF Opener?

Morning all



OK, if you want the ultimate, head-nodding opener, it's probably the Quo's "Whatever You Want". Ultimate as in the tempo is perfect for a sustained nodding session from start to finish without causing either injury or difficulty sustaining the nodding tempo to the bitter end.



However, there are much better Quo songs available than that one.



I submit for consideration by the jury "DOWN DOWN"" as an alternative containing the occasional quicker-tempo "duh, duh, duh" followed by a key change (?) to add some steering-wheel thumping variety to the nodding process. Think of it a bit like the roundabouts on the A1 which make it a more enjoyable drive than the M1 :-)



Failing that...TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN by Queen please.

As an extra choice.....



How about a bit of Scissor Sisters and ....



I DONT FEEL LIKE DANCING!



MTF.xx

Anybody know what's happening on Chris Evans show? Radio 5's Vassos Alexander left their breakfast show today and the word is he is joining the Radio 2 breakfast show - are we losing Johnny Saunders?

MTF, Ken Bruce has just played that.



~X~

So who sang "Can't Find My Way Home" at the Clapton/Winwood gig, and did Winwood get much chance to strap on his nylon-struing Telecaster?

Morning all.



Haven't got the radio on here Deebee. Happy 21st to your GB :)



Beautiful day here, just that darned wind.



Well another b/h is upon us ( sorry Mo ) and that means a mad day out on the roads again. I always feel so sorry for Sally Traffic when its so busy. Her informative bulletins have helped me out of many a scrape though, so keep up the good work Sal and safe trips to anyone heading off out today.



Off to have a natter with my little robin friend.



MTF.xx

Very nice post, i certainly love this website, keep on it

Morning all, it seems my 'pooter does not refresh even though I tell it to, so am as usual late to the party.

Not that on a Friday, the early bird gets the worm of course.

I would like one of the following:

In honour of the ROYAL visit this morning 'DON'T STOP ME NOW' BY QUEEN (can r2 play this twice in one day?)

Or MORE THAN A FEELING by BOSTON - which is quite literally, Bostin' OR

THE DANDY WARHOLS 'BOHEMIAN LIKE YOU' which I like to think of as my song and it's a great build-up beat kinda song, perfecto for a Friday mosh.



Enjoy your day everyone, and the extra day on Monday (even though some people here have to work, poor lambs.

Have a nice day y'all

#15 I have tweeted a few peeps to see if I can find out, ARER. I listen to both channels so am most curious.



#14 good choice, MTF



X

Morning all again



Happy birthday to Deebee's GB - hope you have a great night tonight.



MTF have you put any photos of your robin friend on FB yet?



Back later



Tortie x

Hi Tortie, no not yet.



Its all about catching the 17yr old at the right moment. Both kids have said that they will write down instructions on how to put pics on for me, I've only been waiting for a couple of years, a bit like my ARF. Good job I'm a patient soul ;)



MTF.xx

Just found an email from the Beeb telling me why my post was removed on Wednesday. It fell into the category of posts which...



"Are considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others

Are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable

Contain swear words or other language likely to offend.""



In the context of the phrase "smart arse", was anybody offended by my use of the word "smart"?

None taken here B&B.



MTF.xx

#24 Perhaps it was your accent? Clearly, my South Staffordshire vowels made it sound quite acceptable!

Morning Simon, Morning everyone,



Hope you all well. I was shopping in Boots last weekend and they were playing Denis by Blondie. It sounded brilliant and kept me in the store for longer than I needed to be!! Thought it would make a good ARF.....



Have lovely weekends everyone.



Love



Softy

#26 - it's all about context eh? I don't mind being modded. But if we discuss football and mention Arsene Wenger and accidentally insert a space before posting, and so inadvertently write Arse ne Wenger, will that get me modded?

please can yuo play



Rockin In The Free World by Neil Young

#28 - and I daren't think what would happen if anyone mentioned Dick Cheney.

Just looked back to earlier posts...



Safe trip John. Grab a gander at the new monstrosity that has been constructed just after J23.



A new depot for the M supermarket! Only half a mile long, totally hideous and almost obscures the lovely Willow man.



Great kite flying weather down here, watch out for the high winds over the Avonmouth bridge.



MTF.xx

B&B, too many moddings puts you under surveillance. It can take quite some time to get off the norty step.



MTF.xx

Good morning Simon, Team, NYM Called Andy and fellow blogpoppets!



As I look out of the 24th floor window at the view over the City, half of the sky is grey and troubled and the other half is golden and lovely. Think it might be sunshine and showers today. I have missed my vocation and should be a weatherman.



#24 None taken by me!



Happy birthday to the Debee GB! Looking forward to hearing about last night!



Right, solicitors have been instructed, things are in train and we are off to the future ex-bolthole to do a bit of clearing out over the weekend. A mighty relief that we have a buyer but still feel a bit sad. Just London to sell now (obviously, just our wee bit of it, not the whole of London). Oh, and find somewhere to buy. Simples.



Back in a bit!

Good Morning All :)



Pizza and smarties sounds alright by me, even smartie pizza might be o.k at certain times of the month...



Anyway, tired again and having a nervous breakdown at the prospect of the twins being on 2 weeks school holidays after today!! :O



ARFO? I could ask for Schools Out by Alice Cooper, but I fancy hearing...



DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE - MEATLOAF & CHER



Going to lie down in a darkened room for a while...

#28 B&B, I can't explain it. I don't see how it could offend anyone. And, even if it did, we're all going to be offended by something; we just have to move on.



Personally, I think no one should be allowed to say "Margaret Thatcher" ever again but I know they will and I just have to accept ths verbal assault. But, if the moderator is reading this, please add it to your list of offenseive words and phrases.

#32 - MTF - that would be great! Surveillance! I've never been surveyed before. Will they stand outside my house with a theodolite? (other devices which I have never fully understood are available)

Morning everyone



How about a Friday dance in the kitchen to :-



ANNIE I'M NOT YOUR DADDY - KID CREOLE and the COCONUTS

#7 Deebee... You may have seen We Will Rock You before, but if not, you'll love it! It is my second favourite musical after Les Mis and I'm embarrassed to say that I've seen it sixteen times and will see it another four times over Christmas and New Year... as both me and OH have always loved Queen... obviously best with Freddie, but Paul Rodgers was good when he has toured with them!



x

OK, need to do some more work but I'll be back later.



If anyone has access to online music, and hasn't heard them before, can I recommend The Felice Brothers? Lead singer sounds a bit like Dylan.

#35 - Brillant Harry! I also suspect that the word "Tebbit" may cause some upset, so we'd better list that one too.

#36 And there will be a shabby man in a mac, fedora and dark glasses going through your bin or leaning against the lamp post opposite your house, observing your comings and goings. He will keep a record in a small note book of the number of times the word "smart" appears in your discarded correspondence. You will feel hunted and haunted until eventually you are pleading with Peta Womble to let you free.

#31 thanks MTF - I saw it going up a few months ago. Blot is a good word for it.

For our sins, we do the A303 normally (using all appropriate short-cuts, rat-runs, detours and Stonehenge-avoidance tactics), but will be coming from the Midlands on Sun, so will see it again in all its ugliness. Will wave at the willow man as we pass!

Did you see the straw Buckingham Palace which appeared before the Royal Wedding?

https://cakecakecake.typepad.com/blog/2011/05/a-straw-bale-version-of-buckingham-palace-and-the-royal-wedding-by-the-side-of-the-a303-in-somerset.html

#39 - if you're able to while you work Harry, and don't know it, may I suggest you Spotificate Joni Mitchell's album "Hejira" today?

No Harry, dont get that far over.Thanks for the link though. Its great how everyone joined in the spirit of things.



Alex, just spotted your news. Whoop whoop :)



MTF.xx

#41 - my neighbour virtually does this already!

Doh, that would be John. Was chuckling away at Harrys 'Maggie' post.



MTF.xx

Oooo - did anyone see either of the progammes on The Carpenters last night? Blimey - they were a talented pair. Such a sad story about Karen, and Richard always seems a little frightening, but blimey - put it down to rehearsal after rehearsal after rehearsal, and a good backing band maybe, but by 'eck they were talented! Their timing and their harmonies were impeccable live... there was on ebit when one of their backing singers hit slightly off key, and Karen looked over from the drums, and when the line came around again in the next chorus nobody missed! Very talented kids.

#15 #21



B&B and Mo - interesting indeed - was wondering myself if Vassos will be doing sport on Breakfast ... does he do anything else that might fit in with the current team?



To be honest, and Toots hinted at this yesterday I think, the relationship between Big Boy Evans and Cowering Saunders is not one I find particularly appealing.



Anyway - gossmongering aside - Happy Fridays to fellow Blogpoppets and safe journeys for all travellers - Gill, JohnB, MTF, AlexG et al.



We're staying put - comedy gig tonight at the Arts Centre down the road, tomorrow OH's occasional 60's band have a gig down another road just south of the city. On Sunday I'm doing roast for at least 10.



No ARFO request from me - but happy to support AlexG's WHAT IS LIFE - GEORGE HARRISON

;^)

Dawns on me that although we're down to post #50 (almost), there aren't many ARFO suggestions today. So I'll offer another one incase Simon and Andy get this far down the blog!!...



BABY I LOVE YOU - The Ramones.



You know it makes sense!

Thanks Katymaty.



Hanging up the car keys here as soon as I land this evening. Sounds like you have a good weekend planned. Hope there is some help with the washing up?



MTF.xx

#24 A Rented Ex Rabbit... A good friend of my son is a bike racer and he has "Smart Arse" on the back of his race leathers and it has never offended anyone!

#47 I saw one of them ARER -a good programme, and as you say, so sad about Karen. Such a shame she couldn't be helped.

#48 Do you know, I had completely forgotten to post my ARFO!!



As seconded by KatyMaty before it had even been firsted:



WHAT IS LIFE - GEORGE HARRISON





To be honest, I hold out little hope of a repeat turn for wearing the ARF crown and I think those bloggers who haven't yet had an ARF are more deserving. None more so than the lovely Tooth Fairy. At this rate, she will be entering the twilight of her years before she hears her song on Drivetime. Go on, Nice Young Man called Andy - you know it makes sense!

For the first tune on the show today how about -



Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent

#24 I use the phrase frequently - can't imagine anyone being offended by it. Maybe I know all the wrong people!



Talking of R Cheney, I emailed him once. It was a ranty (but polite) email. Didn't get a response. Wonder if I'm now on a banned list :-)

#43 B&B, I have "Hejira" as an mp3 on my hardrive and I listened to it quite a bit last week when the bloggers were discussing Joni. I copied it onto to here because, for some reason, "Song for Sharon" isn't available on Spoify.



Rather taken with the Felice Brothers first album right now.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

#48 KatyMatey... I agree with you about the relationship between Chris Evans and Johnnie Saunders... it's uncomfortable at times! Johnnie seems such a soft natured guy and it often sounds like Chris takes the mickey out of of him and belittles him quite a lot and Johnnie just takes it all... I'm sure if Chris told Johnnie to jump, he would ask "how high?"!



Thank goodness it was Chris, (and not Johnnie) who made an absolute fool of himself the day he was talking a load of rubbish about the life-cycle of bees!!!

#56 Harry - I'll have a listen. If push ever formally came to shove, Hejira may well be my favourite album of all. So beautifully well-written..."he's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs while he's watching the waitress's legs...". And musically so 'together'. It's like Kerouac set to music. Only better. "Listen.... strains of Benny Goodman coming through the snow and the pinewood trees. I'm porous with travel fever, but I'm so glad to be on my own". Sigh

Lucies Mum.



If you ever get chance to see the sporting challenges on CLPs blog, you will see that Johnnie has no head for heights whatsoever ;)



MTF.xx

Wow! Genesis (wardrobe song) on Ken Bruce - he must be getting into holiday mood.

On the subject of chocolate and pizza, I had one in a roadside place in Tuscany - it was fairly gross but the kids lapped it up - taking left-overs back to our gaff for the week where it stank the place out when it was re-heated for brekkie next morning (yes there is no end to their depravity).

Speaking of which, no offence taken re #24 but lots taken from #35 and the MT word....is it still A L I V E?



Reminds me of a friend's son of about 8-9 who wanted to shout an obscenity at his mother and knew it should begin with an 'f' so came out with 'You're a fussy fat frog!' we nearly died laghing!!

Back to the keyboardcoalface.

ARF in the bath for me, as per usual with a small sherry, it's the only way when you are going nowhere on a BH weekend and listening to all those caravanners motorway miseries ;-0

Haha MTF... poor Johnnie... I was always pleased when he beat Chris at those challenges, although I suspect Chris wasn't too happy getting beaten by JS! ;o)

I would really love for a an ARF tune:

1. HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS - Bob Seger and them here silver bullets ( however Simon you played yesterday as I was driving through the country lanes of Bromsgrove from my perhaps new job....still pondering and I start on the 6th!)

2. YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE - New Radicals.



Have a lovely weekend (its another longish one!) to you all especially to Simon ( get my creeping in for potential menshes next week...hee! hee!)



Mandy :)

Wah hey now he's playing Steve Gibbons Band & Tulane (local Brummies) the Bruce Meister is on fire today!! Ugh but here comes Jeremy Vine - the Uriah Heep (the obsequious slimey character from the Charles Dickens book, not the band) of the Radio world.

#48 & #58 and others ..... There is something going very wrong with CE's Breakfast show. The tone is becoming quite nasty. When CE was doing Drivetime, it seemed he'd learned a little humility during his time of exile. This has now evaporated and he's returning to type. He seems to try to make a fool of Johnny to increase his own status and I don't feel at all comfortable listening. Poor Johnny; obviously not the brightest of men but he does seem to be a gentle soul inspite of his competitiveness.

OOO STEADY, slagging off radio peeps will get me modded and surveilled...

Morning (just!) all,



Happy Birthday to your GB, Deebee!



My ARFO request Simon and Andy, please is



LIGHT MY FIRE by THE DOORS



Will try and poop in again later,



Madchick x

Morning All,



ARF suggestion:



'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing' Leo Sayer



Off with a smile and spring in my step

I know which one looks better in a leotard !!



MTF.xx

#65 And, speaking of over-inflated egos: has anyone else queried why Simon Cowell's production company is called Syco? Do you think people would have mis-pronounced Sico?

Good morning Everyone and, of course, Simon the Pizza and chocolate bean munching dude, The Team and The NYM (Andy???)



#13 - Ken two cracking choices - I love Queen and was in my element listening to Chris's show this morning. Just a wee word, I tramp up and down the A1 from Lincolnshire to Sconnie Botland fairly regularly and there aren't that many roundabouts these days. I know you can get from Peterborough all the way past Newcastle without any roundabouts these days - probably quicker and safer but not nearly as interesting.

~ xx

My last post was referring to the CLP/JS debate!!



MTF.xx

JohnbG - have a fab time on your holidays. Hope you have a good mix of productive revision and funtimes (to quote BillieBlogPoppet).



LuciesMum - you should never by shy about being first one in of a morning - just blimmin' go for it - there'll be someone not far behind you.



Deebs - many happy returns to your gorgeous GB. (dream free last night, btw).



#71 - Btw, Ken, don't know why I said 'Just a wee word' - bizarre - it's not something I'd say ordinarily. Had I previewed, I would have changed it to something like Re: Roundabouts on the A1.



Off for lunch with some chums - so will catch up and poop by later.



Good luck ARFO peeps.



~xx

#65 - I agree Harry (I thought you had work to do!!)...I think it was last week we were discussing this a bit. I have largely given up listening but for maybe once or twice a week, and I like Chris Evans a lot. I can understand those who don't like him not tuning in, but I like him and like the show and I have drifted away. And I think it is because somehow the show is getting a bit harsh for 6.30am... musically it is too much for me (I'm driving early, I am awake, but I don't need hitting with a tea tray to keep me awake), and conversationally it is getting quite abrasive. I'm not keen on Moira Stuart, with her posh-voice way of reading the news followed by her "I'm street smart" jive conversational tone with Chris - it just sounds false. CE is a very sharp cookie, and a very quick thinker, and sometimes he "heads off on one" when really, he should chill out, sit back, remember that most people are staggering about in a half-trance at that time of day, and play a Steely Dan track. AND - I think he has always been very good with the kids he has on, talking to them on their level but without patronising and mocking, but recently he's been getting a bit sarcastic, which isn't nice. By eight o'clock maybe there's space for a bit of shouting and overly thumping 80s hits, but not for me at 6.30.

#70 I wonder if there should be a P and H in that company name?



On the CLP / JS issue - I'm not so sure that JS is quite the lap dog people are making out, although I did think CE was out of order earlier in the week. However JS does tend to try too hard and blurt out whatever comes to mind, trying to be slightly too clever, but just not quite making it.



A

#74 I do have work to do but it's boring and it's difficult to procrastinate when there aren't any pencils to sharpen ............... I'm with you on Moira Stuart (Stewart?); she doesn't seem to be able to read, either.

Afternoon to all,



ARFO? Why not: UNBELIEVABLE by EMF. Involuntary tapping on something solid nearby will result upon hearing the first few notes...

#76 Nooooo! I think MoStu is an inspired choice of newsreader in the mornings.



BTW If some of you are having a second crack of the ARFO whip, please Simon would you also consider:



GENO by DEXY'S MIDNIGHT RUNNER ....a great thumping 80's hit that sounds good at any time of the day! ;-)



x



PS I'm loving the moderator conversation! B&B I wasn't offended either by your post.

#76 Harry - do you have a propelling pencil? You could spend a good 30 minutes of every hour twisting the tip and watching the leads go in and out? On 80s female newsreaders - I like Selina Scott, but has she become a bit weird since she's been off the box so much?

#78 Oops, I think there was more than one midnight runner!



PPS I like JV, always plays excellent tunes.

#78 - thanks (and to others above) for not being offended. I am sure the word was just picked up automatically from a list rather than anyone actually complaining. We are all polite, nicely-spoken grown ups after all. It does make me wonder what we'd do though if any of use lived in Penistone, north of Sheffield?

#79 She's busy with her angora socks business, I believe.

B&B - what did you say at #57 to get modded? I did read it when you first posted and thought it was quite innocuous. You are obviously being a bad bunny today.



On the CE conversation, I was a stalwart defender of Chris. I loved his Drivetime show (although I now prefer the new incumbent and the format of the show) and thought he would be brilliant at Breakfast. I don't get to listen to much of the show but I am finding what I do hear to be ever so slightly tedious. I think the arrogance is returning and he is at risk of losing his fan base. His lack of interest in his blog & bloggers is an example of this. Shame really - he is a talented man.

#78 MCW - I also think JV plays good tracks. And he is a big fan of The Smiths, as far as I can see, which is good for me. Sadly, he is then followed by Steve Wright, who - for all his years on the radio - tends to play the most lightweight twaddle of any show on Radio 2, and even then talks all over it with his silly co-presenters. IMHO that is. Are we a bit too demanding sometimes???



#81 - for "use" please read "us"...

B&B .......... you've been modded again at #57 ............ which one was that?

So, about last night... Well - it was fantastic! Surprise number one, it started dead on 7.30. I've been to so many gigs where you turn up at the time written on the tickets, then have to wait (sometimes up to an hour!) for anything interesting to happen. Surprise number two, the support act was Andy Fairweather Low. He was very good - he did a mix of 60s, bluesey and folky type numbers. He did a really good rendition of the Amen Corner song 'Paradise' - in fact I had to Google it later (other search engines, etc...) to see if he'd written it (he hadn't). And of course he sang his hit, 'Wide eyed and legless'.



Then it was the main act, and surprise number 3 - Steve Winwood was on for the whole set! Must admit I'd only expected him to join Eric Clapton for about 4 or 5 songs. And they were brilliant - well, I think they've worked together quite a bit in recent years. Quite a lot of what they played I didn't recognise - it was quite bluesey in style, with a bit of rock thrown in. There was one amazing instrumental piece that I'm going to have to try and track down - it went on for about 10 minutes and had me with my jaw open in amazement, it was that good! And they did my favourite of Steve's songs 'While you take a chance', which I've tried a few times to get played as the ARFO. My only slight disappointment was that they didn't do 'Layla'.



And Alex G, the drummer was Steve Gadd - and yes, he was excellent.



#17 I think it was Steve who took the lead on that one, Ken, but I'm not 100% sure - they tended to take it in turns. And your other question is a bit too technical for me... But there were loads of guitar changes, so one of them may well have been a Telecaster.



And now I think I'm a little bit in love with Steve Winwood...



~X~

Sounds like a great night, Deebee! And another one to look forward to tonight! You party animal.



Just popped next door. The blog from yesterday has the grand total of 35 comments. Someone has made the point that there is more discussion about the breakfast show over here! If any of the BBC team are reading this, have a quiet word in Mr E's shell-like and ask him to re-engage.



I have a half day today so will be out of here in 30 mins or so! A quick whizzle round the house to get it tidy for a viewing later ( and one tomorrow), then off to the imminently ex-bolthole. Tomorrow's viewing is first thing - do hope the pet nanny gets there before the estate agent, otherwise the cats are going to be demanding their breakfast from him!!

#83 - blimey - I hadn't noticed that. I really can't remember. If anyone can, I'd be interested! I don't think it was Arsene Wenger? And see #51 above... use of the "a" word by LuciesMum remains unmodded. I dunno - I think I've been quite a good boy today, apart from the gratuitous reference to a town north of Sheffield.

#81 you won't catch me complaining about any post unless it's a personal attack, which we don't see on here thank goodness



#65 I too am drifting away from CE. Something has changed that I haven't been able to put my finger on so my finger has hit the radio dial instead



#57 what have you said now, ARER!



Where are all the ARFO requests today? Has everyone started their bank holiday early?



X

my arf song is



something about you-level 42



deebee happy 21st 2 your grand daughter



gazza x

Oh oh!!!



MTF.xx

#90 Gazza, I think you have made Deebee at lot older than she really is! Trust me, she doesn't have grand children yet!!!!

Afternoon all



On the CE debate, I'm afraid I've gone back to 'Today' on R4; mainly because, as has been said previously, his arrogance seems to be re-appearing and he is far too fond (IMO) of repeating his opinions about everything and being very 'shouty'. I hope someone does rein him in a little, because I think he is a very talented broadcaster.



#81 - what's wrong with Penistone ARER?



I wasn't going to suggest an ARFO today, having had 2 menshes this week, but if it's not too late -



YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND - Queen



Right off to B&Q (other plant providers, etc..)



Back later



Tortie x

'HARLEM SHUFFLE' BOB & EARL



fab start to this track....



https://youtu.be/cjrvEeQowRk



PSL x

Hello Everyone



For an AFRO I'd like to suggest Beggarman's Disco by Smoove & Turrell. Not hugely well known but a brilliant song to get you grooving in the kitchen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnahB3SYN84



And for those Queen and Freddie fans check out Steve Riks on youtube - he does a great impersonation.



Happy Friday all.

As we're a bit thin on the ground for ARFOs today, some insirpatino from "On this day in Music History:



May 27th 1957 THAT'LL BE THE DAY - Buddy Holly & the Crickets (first released)



May 27th 1983 HAND IN GLOVE - The Smiths (reached number one)

#92 alex



i used 2 work with someone who became a granny at 33 she had a daughter at 16 then her daughter had a kid at 17



gazzax

#95 Eliza Jane, do Smoove & Turrell have big hair? ;-)

Can I please have a second choice of ARF as there aren't too many suggestions as yet?



~ LAY DOWN by The Strawbs ~



... would be good... can't remember the last time I heard it played on the radio!



xx

or maybe a little bit of hand jiving in the car...



'DA DOO RON RON' THE CRYSTALS



....and for peeps of a certain age the vision of Maggie & Ronnie as per Spitting Image will always live on with this track!!
