We have had an extremely soggy weekend in North Wales. A DJ friend of mine posted on Facebook yesterday afternoon: 'Dj-ing to an empty tent...tunes are good tho!'. He was playing out at a summer party in, of all places, Capel Curig. CC had almost 65mm (2.5 inches) of rain in 24 hours yesterday, according to the Met Office website.

The very best to Mrs Mayo for tomorrow's launch - how exciting! Hope it's being held indoors.

:^)



Well, it was probably the quietest weekend we've had on this very chatty blog, so I'm assuning everyone was completely absorbed by other matters, hopefully all good things.

We had a bit of a do in Winchester for several family members and friends who couldn't make my brother's funeral in France and raised a glass or two [he would have been 52 yesterday] and it actually went rather well - lots of laughs and a wonderful game of I-SPY.

The oldies are the best - talking of which ...

Late entry



18 Til I Die - Bryan Adams



X

How about: 'My Generation' by the Who; 'The Young Ones' by Cliff Richard; 'Schools Out' by Alice Cooper and, rushing forward a few decades, 'Teenage Dirtbag' by Wheatus?



Can't wait to hear every single one of these on the show today!;)

DON'T SPEAK - No Doubt

From my experience of teenagers can I suggest :-



IN MY ROOM - BEACH BOYS

1.Teenage Party by Tommy Steele ("We're going to a teenage party, we're going to a teenage rave!" Yeah, man!

2.Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus

3.White Punks On Dope by the Tubes (outpouring of male adolescent angst )

4.A Young Girl (of 16) by Noel Harrison. Lovely tune. Hadn't heard it for decades till there he was singing it live for the BBC at Glasto, a few weeks ago.

5. You Can Never Go Home Anymore by The Shangri Las ( outpourings of female adolescent angst. Past Present & Future, Remember Walking In The Sand and Dressed In Black by them, also.)

Good Afternoon Each! I actually do love Mondays, best day of the week. Except that today, I am pulled out with it, thus my very tardy, late arrival here. And a quick visit it is, too, so apopogues for any duplication.



Just a couple....



'JUDY TEEN' by COCKNEY REBEL



'GERM FREE ADOLESCENCE' by X-RAY SPEX



'TEENAGE DREAM' by T REX



'THE LAST OF THE TEENAGE IDOLS' by THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND

New inventions in #59. One new word, and one new definition of 'couple'.



Laters...

#59 How did sales of The Sunday Post go?



Working at home this afternoon, waiting for sky man. This is why I don't work at home as a rule. Too many distractions. Anyone fancy reading an agreement for me?



X

Lovely to see lots of new faces around this morning.

Is it too late to suggest...



SLEEP THE CLOCK AROUND - Belle and Sebastian

Well one I haven't heard for a while is SEVENTEEN - THE REGENTS (got to no 11 in 1979.

#61 Pass it over Mo.

Good afternoon,



Has anyone suggested:



SWEET SIXTEEN by Billy Idol



It was in the charts around the time I was that age.



Would also like to second:



SAW HER STANDING THERE by The Beatles



It's my favourite song EVER.



Have a good day.x

As someone who is 49 and a half I would also like to add my vote to TEENAGE DIRTBAG by Wheatus.



Alternatively if the book review is 'White Crow', how about:



RIDE A WHITE SWAN - MARC BOLAN & T REX - a great teenage track!



The other half is driving daughter #2 home tonight after a very disappointing wet weekend. Her partner only gets two long weekends off a summer and this was one of them. Never mind - the floating caravan gets a good wash and a weekend off.

'Acne Blues' by Gallagher and Lyle



'Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy' by The Tams



'Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed' by Matt Bianco

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..........

'Thins Can Only Get Better' - D Ream

So where did summer go...?



Nice to see some new 'faces' in here - you are all very welcome! Hope you can stick around.



I found some more information about Mrs M's exhibition on t'interweb. Very interesting project. I suspect if I posted the link on here it would get modded as being 'advertising', but if you Google Mrs M's first and last name and the word 'ceramics' you can find it too.



~X~

afternoon from a wet and windy Liverpool,



hope everyone had a good weekend.



yesterday we went to a outlet village to buy eldest son a pair of swimming shorts and ended up buying a tent, dont know how that worked out but the boys are really excited about going camping now. the instructions say 25 minutes build time, somehow dont think that is a realistic time for me, more like 2 1/2 hours.



As I dont like RM on breakfast I decided to listen to Smooth radio, Simon Bates does the morning show and I have to say its not a pretty sight a grown man in tears listening to our tune, will probably go back to either cd or different local station until next week.



hope you all have a good day and good luck with the menshes.



Nick.

Here you go Malcolm P. Have to warn you that it's very dry reading ;-)



Nice to see lots of new names. Must go back and read the posts that were waiting to be modded. Takes a few posts before the mods let you through.



X

#70 Just had a look Deebee - it took me a while to remember Mrs M's first name! Very interesting project.



x

#71 Simon Bates? Blimey, is he still doing 'Our Tune'?



I've been listening to CDs since Chris has been on hols. I tried Radio 4 but I can't cope with all the stuff that's currently in the news first thing in the morning.



~X~

Simon Bates, my other celebrity meet! Wonder how I managed to forget that ;-)



X

#74 Deebee, he still does our tune with the same music and the same pauses and his voice hasnt changed one bit from his r2 days.



Smooth radio is doing a big campaign around the north west and Simon Bates face is on a lot of buses, bus stops and advertising wall thingys.



The only problem I have with other local stations is they spend all their time doing competitions, trying (and failing miserably) to be funny and not playing enough quality music for this old geezer. it could be a bit of Howard Jones one day, queen on Wednesday, proclaimers on thursday and take that on Friday as that is what is currently in my cd player in the car.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like RM as a replacement for CLP.



It really is a close decision whether to switch to CDs or not, only *just* swayed by the fact my CDs don't have traffic reports :)

I know a lot of people have gone for The Beatles version of I SAW HER STANDING THERE ( including myself), but I do remember that there is a great live version by ELTON JOHN and JOHN LENNON from a Madison Square Garden gig which sadly turn out to be Lennon's' last major live appearance.



I remember song originally appeared on the B-side of Elton's "Philadelphia Freedom" single and was a favourite on a juke box in a particular pub that i use to frequent in my teenage years ... seems a long time ago now !!!

The weekend just flew by here! Our programme, wristband and passes deadlines are looming as well as many others so I'll keep it short and sweet today! Have a fab monday everyone!



EDDIE AND THE HOTRODS - DO ANYTHING YOU WANNA DO

I listen to smooth FM during the evening afer Drivetime, and during the day too not keen on RM JV or SW

#77 I don't only not like him as a replacement for CLP. I don't like him full stop. I mean, I'm sure he's a really nice guy and kind to animals and everything, but there's just something about his style of presenting (on radio and TV) that has me reaching for the off switch.



Lady of leisure - it took me a while to work out who you are. LOL!



~X~

#77 Alex, I'm sure my car radio/CD player has a button you can press that automatically switches to radio every time there's a traffic report. Although actually, that can be annoying if you're in the middle of one of your favourite tracks.



~X~

I don't mean to complain...but...did somebody actually suggest that dreadful tune "Puppy Love".....errrr yuk!

Three word Monday - PULLED GROIN MUSCLE



(Did it swimming at lunchtime)

Please, please Simon, don't play Puppy Love.....I shall......

No 100 today then? It is quieter here than in my churchyard!!!

Hello, Rev, long time no see. Keeping well, I trust. I must say, given your line of work, I'm quite intrigued by the 'staff meeting'.



I wonder what constitutes 'too late for consideration' when suggesting song tunes. After the show has started probably fits into that category, and I so wish I'd thought of Bowie's 'Rebel, Rebel' earlier. Did anyone else go for it? I should read back.

Great to hear from you Paul...sorry about the scrabble by the way...too many late nights! Staff meeting? I have 3 colleagues and we try to meet weekly!

Afternoon every one



Good start to the teenage theme with the Undertones



Andy Wharfedale

But no Puppy Love, Simon...right?

#88. Now, you see, I was suggesting that the 'staff meeting' might be with the BIG boss, you see. Three colleagues seems to add weight to that line of thought.

And as for the scrabble, no need to apologise, Revster, I'm still being thrashed by Katy.



No mensh there fot the Matt Bianco track, I see :(

Of course, of course He is one of the 3!!!!

Good Evening Everyone,



First day back at work, and it feels like I've never been away! At least its a 4 day week from now on.



Haven't had chance to read back yet, but I did enjoy listening to The Undertones driving home. Well done Deebs and Mo (they were the menshees I remembered, also Andy?). The Matt Bianco track was an inspired choice!



Well, GD has taken our little pony for a walk around the village, along with the Jack Russell. Bless him, apparently he was impeccably behaved.



Is it me or is Simon sounding particularly chipper today? I hope that Mrs M's exhibition goes well tomorrow.



Off to rustle up some food (3word Monday -Oven reinstalled yay!)



madchick x

PS Lady of Leisure - loving your new moniker



Hello Revster, nice to 'see' you back on the blog. Hope you and Mrs Revster are well



x

I'm confused - Matt Bianco is one of the Rev's colleagues? I didn't know he'd taken the cloth - that would explain why he hasn't had any new songs out for a while...



;o)



Nice to see you, anyway Rev.



Well done to all the menshees tonight - I heard Wharfedale Andy, Mo and PS... sorry er, I mean Lady of leisure. I am disappointed that Janis Ian wasn't played though - didn't even particularly want a mensh for it, I just think it's a lovely song.



MCW - glad you're back at work and enjoying it. Love the picture you paint of the pony and the Jack Russell going walkies together!



~X~

Thanks for the welcome backs! Yes Debbie, I too missed Janis Ian...probably a little too profound or melancholic for the show??

#96 I'm sure Simon's played it before, Rev. But the mood of the whole show was quite upbeat tonight, so you're probably right.



~X~

Have I missed anything?



;^)

Oh well, PCC meeting awaits....once more into the breach dear friends!

See you all tomorrow perhaps, work permitting
