Summertime!

Good morning bloggers! This is a departure from posting in my lunchtime at work but today is another three word Thursday:



BIKE TEST TODAY



Anyway the forecast for the Windermere Air Show is looking good this weekend, I'm going to anchor up in Bowness Bay, sipping on my ice-cool beer and (whisper it quietly) watch the Vulcan fly again - yes! So...



E.L.O. - Mr BLUE SKY



THE KINKS - SUNNY AFTERNOON



Back later this afternoon after the practical bit of the test

I must say, Katy, the idea of playing with YOUR money, even if it aint real, inspires me. Still something of a technonumpty, mind, so bear with me while I try to find the poker thing again. Your go at scrab btw.

unusually for me, I've thought of another one!



GOOD DAY SUNSHINE - THE BEATLES



Off for a rest now!! : )

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



Blimey - busy blog this morning. Haven't read back - it's been a 'hit the ground running' sort of a morning so far. So very quickly (before I get hauled off to do something else) my song suggestions are:



SUMMER SUN by Texas



IN THE SUMMER TIME by Mungo Jerry



IT MIGHT AS WELL RAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER by Carole King



WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS by Green Day



SEALED WITH A KISS by Bryan Hyland (for the line "it's gonna be a cold lonely summer")

Lovely things to do during those long school summer holidays ...







KITES - SIMON DUPREE and the BIG SOUND



DAY TRIP TO BANGOR - FIDDLERS DRAM



FAIRGROUND - SIMPLY RED



SUMMER NIGHT CITY - ABBA

Morning all



British summer tunes:



I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Has Gone - Johnny Nash



You Got The Style - Athlete ('oh, it's getting hot in here....making the most of the true British climate)

Good Morning all



Looking out of the window here in northern France we have the same wet and dank conditions most of you are experiencing in UK. So some uplifting Summer 2011 tunes are required today:-



SUMMERTIME - BILLY STEWART

WALKING IN THE SAND -SHANGRI-LA'S

and on the less than cheerful side

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS - CARPENTERS

IT MIGHT AS WELL RAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER

RAINY DAY WOMEN NOS. 12 & 35 - BOB DYLAN



Enjoy your day

HEATWAVE MARTHA REEVES AND THE VANDELLAS.....ever the optimist :-D

Morning one and all,



Busy bloggers already!!! My suggestion is:



HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN - THE EURYTHMICS



We just don't get to hear enough of the lovely Lennox voice on the radio!



Ta Ta for now.



Dougal x

Morning All,



'Long Hot Summer' Style Council

THE SWEETEST FEELING JACKIE WILSON

MTF.xx

CRUEL SUMMER - BANANARAMA



Well, it is at the moment if you're wanting sunny days!

Sunshine Girl - Hermans Hermits.



MTF.xx

I can still recall....



OUR LAST SUMMER -Abba.



Albeit several years ago.



MTF.xx

Good morning Everyone and, of course, Simon the Marathon Interviewing Drivetime Dude, The Team and The NYM,



My song choice if it were an oldie would be SET FIRE TO THE RAIN, ADELE.



I'll settle for:-



HERE COMES SUMMER, THE UNDERTONES

PURPLE RAIN, PRINCE

COMING UP EASY, PAOLO NUTINI "We watched the sun coming up easy, while the rain came tumbling down..."



Well there's a first, more than one or two suggestions. I know, I know, it's only 3 but that's a new record for me :)



~ xx

That was a very quick first 50 !!!

In Summer - Billy Fury

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - Sacha Distel

On The Beach - Cliff Richard

Sand In My Shoes - The Drifters

Vacation - The Go-Go's

Summer (The First Time) - Bobby Goldsboro

Summer Fun - The Barracudas

Riviera Cayf - Lance Percival

#7 - LuciesMum - the John Denver tune is fab - did you ever see the film? As it's unavailable on DVD, I watched it recently on the sharing site. I read the book as a teenager - real heartbreaking stuff based on a true story. Btw, can you hold on to the sun for the next three weeks please? A week tomorrow I'll be hurtling my way northwards :)



#11 - PSL - the skies in my wee corner of the Shire were releasing great deluges of rain early this morning - it woke me up. I got ready to go for a run at 6.30 as it seemed a bit drier and came home soaked.



Posting in chunks as I've rambled on a bit.



~ xx

#35 - Hi Lady Storm Rider - for some reason I replied to you the other day as if you were PSL - I thought PSL had had a change of moniker. Doh! *Needs to pay more attention* The Vulcan flew at the Waddington air show the other week, great excitement. :)



We're having a whole office meeting this morning at 11.00 am :( Yawn, Yawn!!! I'll take a cuppa with me and play cr*p word bingo - not much fun on your own but sufficiently distracting and there's a sense of satisfaction when you get a full house.

In the Summertime by Mungo Gerry



It might as well Rain Until September by carol King



Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran



The Sun Aint gonna shine any more by The Walker Brothers



The Sun Always Shines on TV by AHA



Summer In the City by Loving Spoonful



Summer Rain by Belinda Carlisle



California Dreaming by Mamas and the papas

It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning...



YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH - Meatloaf.



MTF.xx

Ha, have just realised, remove the eat and loa from meatloaf and tada....



Tut tut, too much time wasting already. Lawns to cut, time to fire up the 3 wheeler.



Back later, nice to see everyone.



MTF.xx

Doh! Got that wrong.... 'ea' and 'loa'.



MTF.xx

Summer Love - Neil Diamond. From the Jazz singer film/album.



MTF.xx

Come on people, where's the optimism gone! Don't worry Be Happy by Bobby Mc Ferrin, or Shaggys version of In the Summertime, or Sunshine after the Rain by someone or other, or, Particularly, PARTICULARLY Rockaway beach by the awesome RAMONES. Come ON let's be positive! Schools Out and It'll be August soon.



D x

'Invisible Sun' The Police



Very appropriate at the moment

Not sure that these two have been menched



Under The Boardwalk - Drifters

Boys of Summer - Don Henley

Morning all! Just having a sneaky look at the blog whilst my boss has his back turned!



May I suggest The Alarm "Eye of the Hurricane" and U2 tune of the day "Get on your Boots", that's your wellie boots of course.



GB

Seriously, one last one....



SUNSHINE - KEANE.



MTF.xx

#54 it did rather sound like a new name for me! I think I've gone back to PSL?? never can tell on this 'ere blog! No rain yet for us but we must have had a lot in the night judging by the puddles :-(. I used to play bingo during all those dreadful meetings in last work place....a full hose in about 30 seconds! so much jargon and hot air yaked (sp?) on about...

Hello All,



A crafty song choice while the cat's (boss's) away



STANDING IN THE RAIN by ELO please Simon



Hope everyone's well, will read back when I can!



madchick x

Morning all. Grey and damp here too - I think this has been the least sunny 1st week of a school summer holiday I can remember. Those hot and heady days of the Easter hols seem a long time ago.....



Some great suggestions already so to add my humble choices (quite a few as it turns out!):



Forever Autumn - Justin Heywood (a bit too pesimistic?!)

Aint no Sunshine - Bill Withers or conversely:

Always the Sun - The Stranglers

Come Rain or Shine - Frank Sinatra

Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters

Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles (possibly in my top 2 Beatles songs ever)

Don't Rain on my Parade - Bobby Darrin / Barbara Striesand

Get off my Cloud - The Rolling Stones

A Place in the Sun - Tim McGraw (or as part of a country Showstopper?)

Working on a Tan - Brad Paisley (as above)

Why Does it Always Rain on Me - Travis



and finally although I know it won't get played, I continue my JBJ love with:

Summertime - Bon Jovi ("feels something like summertime, top down & nothing but time, radio's on and you're by my side")

Simon - is this the song you were thinking of when writing line number four above?



Roll out ..



THOSE LAZY CRAZY HAZY DAYS OF SUMMER - NAT KING COLE







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoLogdbVS3U

Morning Lord Ammo, team, NYM and chile-fuelled bloggers,



Sunny, warm and really rather pleasant here. Late again, apologues as usual.



Haven't read back yet.



I offer you a choice, depending on whether you're a half-full or half-empty kind of person



UMBRELLA - Rihanna/Jay Z ( or her rather fine acoustic version, or the equally rather fine but ever so slightly cheesy version by The Baseballs)



ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI - Brian Hyland

#69 Oops. Chili-fueled, or chilli-fuelled, or maybe even chillie-fueled. But definitely not Chile-fueled. Unless anybody’s heading off to South America.

#69 jbg



For umbrella songs , i always prefer :-



BUS STOP - THE HOLLIES





Wharfedale Andy

Just a late thought if this rain continues this summer



RIVER STAY AWAY FROM MY DOOR - FRANK SINATRA or SAMMY DAVIS

Rather than sheltering under your umbrella, huddling together at the bus stop, or shivering in your bikini, here's an alternative...



LEAVING ON A JET PLANE - John Denver

JUst had a chance to scroll over all the suggestions and I don't think anyone has mentioned the catchy Summer song:



WALKING ON SUNSHINE - KATRINA AND THE WAVES



Dougal x

# 73



Not sure i would want to leave on a jet plane with John Denver !

Just out of the meeting - the trouble with bingo is once your card's filled that's it. However, i did manage to say something about solar panel farms (saw something on BBC Breakfast this morning), flushed a deep red and instantly wished I hadn't said anything. MTF's Meatloaf conundrum did help to pass some of the time. :)



Driza - I like your optimism - kinda tricky when the skies are dark grey and the air con is kicking out ice cold air.



~ xx

...which leads nicely to:



WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE - The Animals



"In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine"



*with apologies to the UK tourism industry*

3 word Thursday...



SUNSHINE RETURNED SPECTACULARLY

hi all found an internet site its nice and hot here blue skies blue sea its 38 out here now.im 2 hours ahead of you had a problem at the airport when we came the taxis were all on strike lucky there was a bus have happy times i try and get back latter in the week

gazza x

#54 don't worry - we are all ladies here! Another three word Thursday....



CBT TEST PASSED



Hurrah! Hence the change from the sedentary Cat_Sitters to Lady_Stormrider on the blogs. I can ride my 125cc again and once I pass my car test I can take a pillion & without L-plates (but not on a motorway, that comes after the Parts I and II of the motorcycle test). Confusing eh? Anyway for all you good people in the south could I suggest...



THE DOORS - RIDERS ON THE STORM



Only if you don't talk over the intro.......

3 word thursday



lovley and hot

Afternoon all,

Late to the partee, again.

My sick note again involves 'Jury Service duties' and I was incarcerated - in the jury waiting room, I hasten to add.



Would like to 2nd 'FOUR SEASONS IN ONE DAY' by Crowded House - as it does what it says on the tin....



Sticky and warm here, then grey and windy - then a glimpse of blue. We have pigeons in the garden re-nesting and sitting on eggs, is this normal? I know this as one egg was on the ground, smashed and being eaten by a cat - yeeuch.



Won't be able to play again today, as Mr e and 21 year old son are back from a 10 day European birthday beer tour, so the house is in chaos.

Have a nice day y'all

Good afternoon! Well, my morning turned out to be a bit busier than I had planned. But in a good way.



Hi Gazza, good to hear you are enjoying yourself.



Toots, "boardroon bingo"! Haven't played that for a while.



JBG, are you looking for the HOIB ;-) ?



Anyone on fb has to go and have a look at the pic of Dr Mosh.



X

Well done Lady_Stormrider!



Hello, Suzi!



X

Afternoon - first time poster here!



RAIN - STATUS QUO

GREY DAY - MADNESS

SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE - CREAM



Or for weather forecasters everywhere:

GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME - GERRY RAFFERTY

#85 Nice one! Welcome to the DT blog!



Gerry is a fave of The Drivetime Dude, so always a good possibility - plus a nice tongue-in-cheek reference to the BBC Weather peeps who seem to be on their holidays in the Caribbean, no doubt, and have set the weather reports to 'showers, some thundery' for most parts of the UK, while they are on leave...No doubt the CREAM suggestion will get a thumbs up from Dr Mosh!

An un-met and unrequited heart-throb of my school days was a CREAM fan...but that's another story.

Hi Simon,



STAYING OUT FOR THE SUMMER - Dodgy

BOYS OF SUMMER - Don Henley

SUMMERTIME - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince



or, with the way you seem to be feeling...



SUMMERTIME BLUES - Eddie Cochran



Thanks as always,

Hey you Happy Hornet - great to 'see' you - looking a bit pink there - might be better to lather on some more of the Factor 25.



Mo, it was interminably boring in the meeting - mind kept wandering :(



Suzie - nice to 'see' you no matter how briefly. good luck clearing up the wreckage :)



~ xx

Sunshine on a Rainy Day - Zoe

Age of Aquarius (or Let the Sun Shine in) - 5th Dimension

Now sunny in Yorkshire , therefore my new selection would be :-



WEATHER WITH YOU - CROWDED HOUSE

Well, the coffee break came and went, and lo and behold it was lunchtime! It's no peace for the wicked at the coalface of HR...



JBG - love the Baseballs' version of 'Umbrella'. Cheesy it may be, but it's on my list of 'put a smile on my face' songs!



Lady_stormrider - well done on passing your CBT test.



HH - glad you're enjoying your holiday. Make the most of that good weather - or even better, bring some home with you.



Hello to everyone else!



~X~

Lady Stormrider - now I've gotcha - knew you looked familiar but just couldn't place you for a few mins. Well done on the CBT. Can I have a backie when you've passed the other part of your test, please? ;)



~ xx

Btw, when I was catching up earlier, I noticed a stray apostrophe got caught up in my last post of the day yesterday. Procedures have been put in place to avoid a recurrence.



Pedant? Moi? I don't think so.



~ xx

2nd please

FOREVER AUTUMN - Justin Hayward....

in honour of the local who lit a 'bonnie' last weekend, and the fact that last night there was a distinctly 'autumnal' feel to the barely 10 degrees air outside the house.



MTF: ELO's Twilight was played on R6 music at 3pm sh, I last week sometime, and I thought maybe even they are nicking our ideas!!

One day, maybe it'll be the 5.05pm ARFO on R2....you never know

#94 Here's the missing 'i' from 'ish' and apologies for the extraneous 'I' above.

Little sleep, but hoping the injection of some chilled Kriek beer newly arrived from Belgium will have me sleeping better tonight...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

#94 - Suzie - did they introduce the it as "the oft requested, but so far never played, wonderfully magnificent, choon of choons (gwan Simon you know you want to)..."?



~ xx

#95 - I'm sure I could send you a transcript of this morning's 'whole office meeting' - enough to put the most hyperactive of hyperactive kids to sleep in an instant.



~ xx

#96 - "the it"??? aaah who knows? who cares? not me, I'm not a pedant, I tell you. ;)



~ xx

Quick look in before work and spotted your post Suzie.



Whats the frequency for R6, might be worth a listen to :)



Toots, LOL :)



Gotta fly, hope everyones afternoon turns out just the way they want it to, yup even mine.



Will be all ears after 5.05.



Cheerio.



MTF.xx

Could I get a fiver and the 100???
