Good morning everyone. Hope you had a great weekend.



Little chance I would have thought of this being played but it is perfect:



RED TOUPEE by AL STEWART (from the LAST DAYS OF THE CENTURY ALBUM)



It's fun, upbeat, at 3m 40secs it's radio friendly, and pertinent to the theme; what more could you ask for?

Morning Lord Ammo, team, NYM and well-coiffeured bloggers



WIG WAM BAM - Sweet

Morning all



DELILAH - TOM JONES

THAT SILVER HAIRED DADDY OF MINE - Simon & Garfunkel

'livin above your head' Jay & The Americans (played on the Northern Soul scene)



https://youtu.be/znjqXYIvk1c

must admit I'm at a loss as to why Wayne Rooney endorsing a enhancement will make sale increase...someone with a complexion that can only be described as fish belly white who looks like Shrek is a strange kind of advertisers dream...IMHO :-)

Just thought of one I've not heard in ages......





CURLY ~ The Move

'it's growing' Otis Redding

Morning,

#21 PSL... what a good description of Wayne Rooney's skin texture!



Bet it would do a good job of sanding down the woodwork I need to do!!!

#21 PSL - agree with you. Does he think it will turn him into David Beckham?



A guy I once worked with used to say this (in a slow deep US accent) - "You can put lipstick on a pig and call it Betty Sue, but it's still a pig."

Good Morning All :)



It's a bit gloomy here, but no rain.



Counting down the hours until the twins go to respite, because we SO need it today!



Oldie suggestions...



LONG HAIRED LOVER FROM LIVERPOOL - JIMMY OSMOND (LOL!)



AUTUMN SONG - MANIC STREET PREACHERS (for the 'What have you done to your hair?' lyrics)

Good morning,



How's about:



BLOWIN' IN THE WIND by Bob Dylan (isn't that what will happen to Rooney's flowing locks as he runs around Old Trafford?)



DREADLOCK HOLIDAY by 10CC



Did The B-52's do a song called BIG WIG?



Have a good day.x

Even Better Than The Real Thing by U2

Good morning Simon, Team, NYM and fellow blogpoppets!



Hope everyone had a fine and dandy weekend. Have read back and glad Scottish mini-meets, barnacle scraping and GD moving all went well. Some yummy food was consumed by you all. Katy, your music evening sounds lovely - I always enjoy listening to Mr P rehearsing. No sign of Gazza yet?



I was unable to post via my phone over the weekend, hence my absence. Could have fired up the 'puter I suppose but too lazy. We had a second viewing on the house - fingets crossed. Or maybe not - we would be homeless. Anyone got a cardboard box big enough for me, Mr P, 4 cats and 4 electric basses?



Back with suggestions once I have given some thought to the theme.



Alex-Girl



PS The last line of Simon's blog seems a bit erroneous? Maybe it is a plea for Gazza's return.

#26 JBG...a pig in lipstick is even more frightening image than WR with hair!!!

Hello Simon, team, blogpopsters and the new week -

Hair loss is a subject close to my heart having lost huge chunks of my dark brown tresses after the brain op [it's the intense radiation that does it]



.. happily it grew back - and in its original colour.

:^)





I THINK I'M GOING BALD - RUSH



BALD-HEADED LENA - LOVIN SPOONFUL

2. Anything by HAIRCUT 100

Morning all



Not around much as still busy.



#26 - wasn't that the quote that Sarah Palin got all excited about in the presidential elections - thinking it was meant about her?



I know it's early for puns but as I'm not here really what about



Don't weave me this way - The communards



Cheers



A

Simon, when I saw the title of this blog I wondered whether you and Lady Ammo might have something to tell us ;-)



Deevs, Your #12 is the best suggestion of the day. Inspired! Really hope it gets played.



Alex Girl, Good luck with the viewing.x



Billie, just looked at the last blog. You dirty stop up you!



Listening to classical music is supposed to be very good for the brain when working. Mozart, in particular, is supposed to put the brain into an alpha state which helps it to retain information. However I gather it isn't a good idea to listen to it when driving as it can send you into a sort of trance. That's my useless piece of information for the day!



Rooney might not be the prettiest boy on the field but he certainly knows what to do with his feet.

A couple of comedy oldie suggestions...



HARD TO BE HUMBLE - MAC DAVIS (because Mr Rooney is going to need quite a lot of hair transplanted to cover his big head!)



WEREWOLVES OF LONDON - WARREN ZEVON (for the lyrics about hairy gents & 'his hair was perfect')

KB has just said Andrew Gold died the other day. That's sad. As a tribute to him and kind of a nod to today's theme you could play:



NEVER LET HER SLIP AWAY by Andrew Gold

Morning all



First thoughts:



Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd

Going back to my Roots - Odyssey

Can't get used to losing you - The Beat

#35 shame the same can't be said about his mouth and wondering eye!

HOLE IN THE HEAD - SUGABABES



GROWING ON ME - THE DARKNESS



WEAVE YOUR SPELL - LEVEL 42

Would like to second Nadine's suggestion of:



GOING BACK TO MY ROOTS by Odyssey!



Anyone else ;-)

Morning all, and especially those who like me cowered indoors yesterday and discovered the delights of a big screen TV and large choice of DVD's (as you're asking, it was Ocean's 12 and Romancing the Stone, gotta please everyone, haven't you?)

Saturday though was eventful, with a spell on the Thames watching the Oxford Eights week boat racing. Well, it's not actually about racing, more about bumpings and 'blades' apparently what ever they are...

On the subject of R3, I finish work on a Friday at lunchtime and it is my ritual to listen to that station as I skip out of work on just that day - very relaxing and a great start to a weekend.

Hair-wise, I think #8 is inspired!! Wig Wam Bam. Brilliant.

#19 too, any Eric Clapton (particularly) from 461 Oceans Boulevard is welcomed by me...

DAVID BOWIE 'SORROW' should do it - apologies it it's already been said, 'with your long blonde hair, and your eyes of blue'

Let's hope for Wayne Rooney's sake that he doesn't have a transplant from a person of a different *ahem* colouring as him...can you imagine the worst case scenario?!

I can and it's making me titter.

Enjoy your day y'all.

'comb over to my place' The Driffters

'YOU'FE SO VAIN' CARLY SIMON

Not sure if it counts as an oldie yet but also:



Valerie - The Zutons (I miss your ginger hair....)

Good morning Simon, Team, NYM and blogpoppets! No rain here.



Haircut 100 - Fantastic Day



Deacon Blue - Dignity



The Proclaimers - Cap in Hand - he will be able to remove his beany hat



Hairspray - from the musical/film



Shame the theme is about his hair. There are so many more options relating to other parts of his life ;-)



Busy day today. Will come back and catch up when I can.

'YOU'RE SO VAIN' CARLY SIMON



Ooops typo error!

Keep switching between an internet supermarket shop and the blog. Accidentally typed "Katy" in the search box and now have a load of cider in my trolley.

'when the going gets tuft, the tuft get growing' Billy Ocean

#28 Julia, can I second your DREADLOCK HOLIDAY (I've tweeted it, actually). And you're right about the B52s song - see my post #13



#30 Alex, good luck with the viewing. And if you become homeless, you are very welcome to come and live in our shed. Best to keep the cats away from our dog though... I wondered that about Simon's last sentence too - I think it was supposed to come earlier on in the blog!



#40 KatyMatey - inspired Level 42 choice my dear!



On the subject of classical music, I grew up listening to it and I love it now. I do have problems listening to music of ANY sort when I'm trying to concentrate, as I find myself focussing on the music rather than the task in hand.



No Billie today? She must be having a lie-in after her VERY late night.



~X~

#49 PSL... :o))

Keep switching between an internet supermarket shop and the blog. Accidentally typed "Katy" on the other site and now have a trolley load of cider. Might try typing "Gazza" in there to see if he is lurking in the aisles.

'The Weavers Answer' by Family

* is still wondering how the name Katy equates to a trolley load of cider *



Re: punfoolery - will the Choon Chooser will be able to tell the difference this early on in the blog :^)



Level42 - a band I'd forgotten 'til I met Deebee. Thanks for the thanks. You're welcome. And did you know that the contemporary blues singer Debbie Davies sang 'Bald Headed Baby' in 1999, in which she extols the virtues of her main man?

“The top of his head looks like one of my knees...He’s the only man for me.”

#57. Single varietal cider, ie made of only one type of apple, rather than many. In this case, the Katy apple.

Howdy all.



Hair song? How about.........



Fleetwood Mac - Never Growing Back Again ;-)

WIG - The B 52's

CRAZY BALDHEADS - The Wailers

NO HAIR - The Chris Moyles parody of No Air by Jordin Sparks

CHOKE ME SPANK ME (PULL MY HAIR) - Xzibit

I'm not really here, but how about that lovely song:



HAIRY by Katherine Howard



#57 KatyMatey - that's really interesting, especially as Mr B is himself somewhat folliclely challenged. I will have to look my namesake up on Youtube



Is it me, or does the word 'folliclely' look a bit obscene...?



;o)

Morning again, all - I am refreshed by (former and now retired) bosses' brownies. She came in to gloat over her life long holiday status..and so I have come back to the blog, to feel more like I am on holiday too...

I have got a school reunion happening in Sept (Solihull High School for gals '71-'76 .....THIRTY FIVE YEARS WHERE HAVE YOU GONE!?) and thanks to the FB and twitter revolution, can get some idea of who might come up to me and expect me to recognised them....it has revived memories of friends who went out with boys at Solihull Boys School (Lord Ammo's alma mater) and from what I remember of the 'postmortem' we used to have of each others dates, some of the boys there were a little 'fresh' shall we say.

I fancied like mad one SBS boy who took my bus home - and I convinced myself that his name was Christopher Ream (his satchel had the words CREAM inked onto it)...I was an ingenue about prog rock groups, as you can see.



Now, to get back to the blog subject today, Mr Rooney's follicles...

'ALREADY GONE' BY THE EAGLES...

or 'DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU' GLORIA ESTEFAN



Maybe back later,

Here I am!



Good Morning - just!

Hi again!



The ladies who came for the 2nd viewing yesterday have put in an offer. A good offer. On condition that we vacate by the first week of September. Mr P is teaching and I can't get hold of him. There is another lady who is really interested in the house and agent is trying to get hold of her to see if she wants to counter offer. In the meantime, I want to be sick.



How big is your shed Deebee?

katy PERRY??

#64 I feel your stress! Buying and selling houses is a very stressful business, must be on a par with arranging a wedding - or waiting for exam results - and then finding a Uni that'll take you (for instance).

Another (slightly) jokey take on today's theme, before I log out and concentrate on WORK (four letter word today) issues.

'STAPLE IT TOGETHER' by JACK JOHNSON...eeouch!



Enjoy your afternoon, folks

Get the bubbly chillin' #64 someone's gotta be getting your go-ahead by the end of today, surely.

This is How it feels - INSPIRATIONAL CARPETS



Fantastic Day - HAIRCUT 100



DREADLOCK HOLIDAY - 10cc



All three please



Nigel

#66 Thanks Suzie!!!

1. DONT LEAVE ME THIS WAY - The Communards

2. IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW - Chicago or Foreigner

3. BACK TO YOU - Bryan Adams

4. SATURDAY NIGHT - WIGFIELD

5. WHAT'S UP? - 4 Non Blondes

#62 So let me get this straight, Suzie - you were at Solihull Girls School at the same time as Lord Ammo was at Solihull Boys School? Okay, from your dates he was a few years ahead of you, but just think - if things had worked out differently you could have been Lady Ammo..



#64 Alex, relax. It's great news that you have one, possibly two offers on your house. I'm sure it will all work out fine - you can always rent if you haven't found your ideal property by September. As for the shed - well, it's quite small I'm afraid. But very tidy - Mr B had a clear out recently. And it's had a new lick of paint too. I could put some curtains up at the window if you liked...



~X~

#70 Bless you Deebee - thank you! I am feeling calmer - it's the September constraint that is the stresser. Still waiting to hear back from the other lady to see if she wants to counter offer.



Isn't Mr B industrious - shed clearing, barnacle scraping and not bad with a punt!!!

#72 LOL! Yes, he certainly has his uses...



;o)

#72 I meant #71 - self referencing again...



~X~

#73 I knew what you meant!



No Harry today? No MTF either.

#74 Hi Alex G and anyone else who may be lurking.



Apologies for being so quiet; I've been very busy. I'll read back ..............

Some great songs for the theme and one or two puns are inspired, especially PSL's "Comb Over to My Place" @ #43



#61 Deebee ............ folliclely? Yes, I think it is just you ;-)



All this talk of Wayne Rooney reminds me, Marina Hyde (one of my favourite columnists) once described him as being "as attractive as a clenched fist" which I think sums him up perfectly.

SO p*ssed off - have not been able to post anything for a long time. Even though I managed to post in the Evansblog! Go figure.

Have now lost the threads - literally - of everything - which may be a relief to some people!



So abandoned the blog and went out. Now I've logged into the desktop to see if it'll let me in. If it does ...



@AlexG Excellent news - the best case scenario given the potential for timing issues.



All me lovely puns have gone. That funny thing I thought of to say to Billie has gone.



deebee - if you spelled it 'follically' would this make tou feel any better?





:^)

#50 Deebee, Oops - sorry. Missed that. Great minds and all that! Your INXS suggestion leapt out at me when I read through before posting because I was listening to them in the car at the weekend.



#57 Katy, A drinks company (I won't say who because the name might bring Harry out in a cold sweart appear to have named a cider in your honour. Apologies for the "echo" double post on this subject - blog was playing up this morning.



#64 Alex, Great news!

Did that work? Really?

Thanks Julia - and Paul O'Sheff - for Katy cider explanations - I shall goog it.

Nay I shall do more than goog it. I shall buy some and drink it!

#78 I appear to have inadvertently invented a new word - Sweart - it is when you get all hot and bothered and use naughty language.



#80 Katy, sorry it took so long to explain. Isn't it frustrating when you can't post.

#78 Julia, please bring me out in a "sweart", cold or hot! :-)



Did anyone ever see the QI show where Jo Brand said she thought "a Lady Thatcher" was a female depilation device? :-)

#77 Katy... me too! What's up with the blog again?



I wish they'd get it sorted.... please!

Hello, how is everyone's day?



Alex, that's wonderful news! I hope Mr P now knows. Something will turn up. Even if you have to rent for a while.



#75 I was lurking earlier, now trying to catch up.



Some good tunes above. NYM has a job on his hands today. And lots of things to make me giggle. Thank you.



X

Home time for me. Best of luck with the menshes.



@Alex G, hope the house sale is progressing at your pace!



Have a good evening everyone.

Afternoon All



Have had a very lazy selfindulgent day off!



Good news AlexG. Everything crossed for you.



#77 Katy - have you remembered yet?



Radio on in time to hear the new WAH! Then elainemary's clever choice. Welldone to you!

Well done Elaine_Mary! no mensh for the second tune?



See the weekend shift didn't get round to fixing the posting problem.



X

It has to be Wig by the B-52s. Pleeeease! It's hilarious!

I heard a mensh for Elaine_Mary... well done... the only person named so far!!!!

#87 Correct Mo - no mensh for number 2 - but a FINE mensh for Nadine.



Welldone NadineC.

Afternoon all you lovely blogpoppets,



Heard elaine mary's choice, made me smile, a very clever suggestion considering that the theme isn't the easiest.



Whoop whoop Alex on your house news- fingets crossed that it all goes through. Bet you couldn't concentrate after hearing the news, especially as you couldn't get hold of Mr P.



Katymaty, thank you for the cake on Saturday. I had a lovely day, it went far too quickly.



Oooh Simon is playing The Beat, haven't heard this in ages. Well done Nadine C!



Job is going well, still learning lots, brain chugging along trying to keep up. Absolutely kn**kered come 5, but at least I have Simon to keep me company on the way home.



madchick x

Well done too to Nadine... I heard your name just before the news!

Nadine! Your good run continues!



X

well done E_M and Nadine :-)

Well done to Nadine and Elaine_Mary.



Not that I'm complaining, but apart from one all the oldies so far have been about hair LOSS. The original brief was wider than that..



It's okay, I'm middle-aged. I'm allowed to be grumpy once in a while...



Hi to MCW - lovely to 'see' you, and glad to hear the job is going well.



~X~

#70

Yes, he and I were at schools locally at the same time, same location - but as you know, 2 years difference in age is a long time when you are teenagers! Solihull boys school had an entrance exam, and was a public school (never understood why that means a 'private school' which in fact it is); my school (Solihull High School for girls which morphed into Malvern Hall school in 1973) had an entrance exams too - the good old 11 plus! No fees were paid at mine though, as it was a 'state' girl's school so we were worlds apart.

Blogging from home, unusually, as Mr e is delayed as 3 million euros have gone adrift...sadly NOT in our direction - so I have the 42" screen and all my DVD's to choose from - it's not going to be easy! G & T, a costume drama, Chin chin bloggers!

Ah yes.



So good to hear a song one has suggested because it fits the theme AND is a damn fine song ... thanks Simon.



:^D

#96 You're school experiences sound very similar to mine in Kent, Suzie. I also did the 11 plus, and went to an all girls school that had an equivalent school for the boys. Mine started off as Sittingbourne Grammar School and later became Highsted School for Girls. Think we must be about the same age, too... ;o)



There's been a bit of a dearth of menshes today. KatyMac suggested the last one.



~X~

Ooohhh... just heard Katy Mac!!!! :o)) xx

Oops! *is a bit embarrassed*
