Loved the interview with Chris Rea last night, he's still knocking out some great music, and he sounds like a lovely down-to-earth fella too :)



Got to go to yet another meeting about the twin's respite etc this morning! I'm growing very weary of these meetings where everyone talks, but nobody listens *rolls eyes* Didn't get much sleep last night, so I may be in danger of nodding off too!!

Did not get the job I went for 2 weeks ago which was 2 MILES from home...feedback was good though and I have offered my contracting services after the end of October should I not be extended at this one and the guy said he will review the workload as there is a strong possibility. I do have an interview tomorrow for a 12 month maternity cover contract at the Environment Agency in Solihull, so I have used the dentist excuse to excuse myself for the morning!!

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



It is indeed a lovely blog!



I'm not going to go for the obvious Was Not Was song (which I'm sure everyone else has already suggested anyway - no time to check back). So how about:



OLD AND WISE by Alan Parsons Project



JUSTIFIED AND ANCIENT by KLF



IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER (LAND BEFORE TIME) by Diana Ross



OLD TOWN by The Corrs



Deebee X

#27 Interesting comment, Ken. Didn't hear any of the show yesterday. Hope to "listen again" at some point but not hopeful.



Simon is obviously very intelligent, and a master interviewer and broadcaster. Anyone who listened to his 5Live 9/11 show on Sat can testify to that. But he is also very good at his DT show and seems to thrive on the banter amongst the team (and I include us in that). So if he's making himself and 5 million others happy every Mon - Fri (or Thurs if you're not an ARF fan), then does it matter that he is "too intelligent"? I personally would like to hear him do more of other things, but not to the detriment of DT.



X

morning all :-)



Oooo it's a hard topic today.....brb

As time goes by - Dooley Wilson (?) or Frank Sinatra.



Play it again Sam, or Simon even.



MTF.xx

Morning Sir, team, NYM and midweek bloggers,



Sorry to be late to the party again. People, things, computers.



YESTERDAY ONCE MORE - Carpenters





SINCE YOU BEEN GONE - Rainbow

...PUT YOUSELF IN MY PLACE THE ELGINS

Not forgetting...



JUSTIFIED AND ANCIENT - Tammy Wynette



"They're justified and they're ancient, and they like to roam the land"



*heads out of the door, bound for Moo-Moo land*

All this talk of coffee.....I obviously haven't had enough yet. Just spilt a medium Costa (other coffee shops etc but it's the only one in my building) all over my desk. My diary is going to smell of coffee for ages!



X

#32. JillyM shouldn't that be have to dash ---

MANEATER - Hall & Oates

EVEN THOUGH YOUR GONE THE JACKSONS

Mornign again, I was busy catching up on yesterdays blog, the bit after I left to find a new one posted and loads of comments.



Dinosaur songs.......jeeez



Rock Lobster - B52s?



Question, eldest daughter is coming home this weekend however, she might be too busy to fit us in as she has organised to spend every available moment with the boyf (who spent last weekend with her)and also catch up with the boyf parents!! aaaaagh Do I refuse to do the washing or just accept that I am low on the pecking order? I have a good mind to say 'get stuffed' and head off to the cinema with younger daugher!



Good luck with your meeting this morning ZoeDoubleEwe....don't know the whole story but thinking of you..



and to Mandy with the interview too.....luck, luck, luck......



Love SparkyHunter

I think I can rustle up another couple of oldie suggestions, before I depart for the meeting...



STOMP - THE BROTHERS JOHNSON



BACK IN TIME - HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS

'When You're Gone' Bryan Adams



'Since You've Been Gone' Rainbow

Morning Everyone and, of course, Simon The Happy it's Wednesday Drivetime Dude, The Team and The NYM,



I was going to suggest WALK THE DINOSAUR, WAS NOT WAS but noticed that Andy has already suggested it, please may I second that (e)motion?



I'd also like to suggest:-



20th CENTURY BOY - T-REX



Funnily enough, Simon, yesterday I was turning right at a crossroads and the chap who was turning left waved me on to make my turn first. I knew it was his right of way but who am I to start the very irritating exchange of me waving him on only for him to insist I should go first, followed by me insisting even harder that he should go and mouthing "It's your right of way *expletive deleted*!", followed by him shaking his head at my ungratefulness.



Anyhoo, off to catch up on what's going down on this 'ere blog.



~ xx

Gone Gone Gone - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

I'll try this:



NEANDERTHAL MAN - HOTLEGS

ZoeUU - good luck with the meeting - most importantly I hope you can stay awake.



Mandy - I'm sure you'll soon be snapped up; good luck anyhoo.



Sparky - blimey that's a tricky one. I'd let the daughter be for now as I'm sure in a couple of weeks' time she'll realise just how much she's missing her Mummy and will want to make up for the time she's missed. Easier said than done I'm sure. My older boy may be flying the nest next year - long story but if he gets a Year in Industry he may end up in Edinburgh living with his dad for a year before going to uni - was a bit upset when that was put up for consideration. The thing that's keeping me going is the company he's looking at doing a YiI with also has a place five minutes from where I work.



~ xx

PASTIME PARADISE STEVIE WONDER

Morning all! Sorry but dinosaurs leave me a bit cold, probably due to the fact that my three lads have all been into them at some time and I'm getting a little bored by them. Good job there is some sport on the other channel tonight!



Anyway another vote for "Rock Lobster" by the B52's or how about my U2 song for the day "Original of the Species"?



Have a lovely day all.



GB

Sparkyhunter - that really is a very difficult question. I agree with Toots, let her do her own thing and hopefully she will miss you and want to see more of you. My two went to Aus in 1991 and I have only seen them 3 times - you can only do what you think is right and hope that they appreciate you - very very tough though.

Good luck to Mandy and Zoe

Good morning Each!



Dinosaurs?



'Golden Olden Days Of Rock'n'Roll' by Johnny Winter



'Barney (...And Me)' by The Boo Radleys



'Dinosaur' by King Crimson



'The Fossil Hunter' by Fairport Convention

Barney, I love you! Must surely be worthy of a hat?



https://youtu.be/8ZZivl5iKCo



MTF.xx

#35 It was Chris Rea's comment Mo.



Chris had been explaining the difference between Chicago blues and gospel blues, and demonstrated a gospel blues melody and Simon instantly got how Road to Hell fitted in with that. Rea was suitably impressed.



Some of what he said is scary though for the future of music though. No money in it any more.

Just thought of one more while my boss isn't looking! "Female of the Species" by Space (I think).



Must dash.



GB

Ooh, thanks for the scarf yesterday Katymaty. Dont forget to reward yourself with one for today.



MTF.xx

Morning all!



A quick poop in and out from me as very busy.



Thanks to Spike and Katy for last night - you know what you did... ;-)



My choices today;



BRONTOSAURUS - THE MOVE



JEEPSTER - T. REX



WALK THE DINOSAUR - WAS (NOT WAS)



Cheers!



Kev

I've had an idea, I think I'll water it and see if it grows some friends



Run for your Life - The Beatles (Rubber Soul)

Catching up now...



#17 Zoe - thinking of you today. I know our circumstances aren't quite the same, but I well remember those sorts of meetings - so frustrating.



#29 Sorry you didn't get the job Zoe - fingets crossed for tomorrow.



#35 Nail. Head. Hit...



#45 SparkyHunter - tell me about it! We've hardly seen our daughter all summer - she's either been away, out with friends or with her bf, and she's off to Uni this weekend. Had to have a few words yesterday, actually - quite hard as we want her last week at home to be a happy one...



#58 Oi! Some of us are female...



;o)

Has the mensh chasing abated?



#57 Ken, "no money in it any more"? Was there ever much money in music for the vast majority of musicians?



Do you remember those little "skull and crossbone" cassette symbols they used to print on record sleeves? "Home taping is killing music" it said. What they meant, of course, was that talentless record industry executives were making a little less.



With easily copyable computer files it has forced the rich few to do what most musicians had done all along; play live gigs to make a living! And, aren't all our lives enriched by live music?

#45 Sparky

I've had a bit of experience in this field - so am happy to share ..



Is this her first visit 'home'? If so - then what happens will set a precedent for future visits, so you need to box clever.



You mentioned 'do the washing' - I take it she is unable to do her laundry in her residence or a local launderette? - so she has to bring it home?

If that is the case - I NEVER did my daughters' [both] washing for them. Instead I was overjoyed to see them, made all their favourite food etc. etc. and indicated, quite genuinely [obviously] how happy I was to have them home for the weekend.

I also invited them to use the washing machine/tumble dryer etc. whilst they were there - in the house and made it clear that this wouldn't be done for them.



But if she sticks with her plans over the weekend - visiting boyfriend and his folks, etc.- then just make sure you, too, are very busy all weekend - like you said - but with a big loving motherly smile, not the 'get stuffed'. LOL



You may not believe this, but she'll thank you for it.

:^D

I

How very rude of me - thank you SO much KatyMatey for my hat yesterday! Only just seen it. I shall wear it at a jaunty angle, now the windy weather has eased a bit.



~X~

#62 re #29 should have said Mandy of course.



~X~

As i twittered earlier



LIVING IN THE PAST - JETHRO TULL



STOMP - THE BROTHER JOHNSON

I've been meaning to get back to Billie’s thread about songs with dubious lyrics: how many songs seem to excuse violence against women? We’ve already discussed Delilah but another one is “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town”:



“And if I could move I'd get my gun

And put her in the ground”



All I can say is: it’s a good thing that he can’t move! It’s no wonder she’s off seeing another bloke with that threat of violence hanging around the house!



And, Tom Jones seems to specialise in portraying wimpish men ..............



“It's not unusual to be loved by anyone

It's not unusual to have fun with anyone

But when I see you hanging about with anyone

It's not unusual to see me cry,

Oh I wanna' die”



Get a spine, man!!!!!

#42 Tee Dot... (as opposed to Tee Dash---) tee hee! ;-)



Good luck to those with interviews/meetings etc and/or errant offspring!



#27 & #35 - Chris also called Simon a clever little sausage! Made me smile :-)





Signing on to my browser earlier was gobsmacked to see the following headline:

"Pippa Middleton to have her life turned into a movie" ... !!!!!!!!!!! what is the world coming to?



Jx

I'm getting paranoid - this is the 6th time I've tried to post this (I'm making it shorter)....



Morning everyone - still glowing from my first mention last night :)



#45 Sparkyhunter - my advice, on the back of spending all day every day with teenage girls, is to make your point by saying you'd like to see a bit more of her when she's home as you'd hoped you could go shopping, the cinema etc, but put the washing in anyway - tell her you've done it but she will need to take it out/iron it. In my experience she'll be grateful even if she doesn't show it immediately and next time (well, at some point) she'll remember your support and be nicer...... I'm pushing 40, have lived on my own for years but when I go home my Mum still does my washing and ironing; I'm taking her to New York next month as a treat, it works out OK in the end :)



This is a tough oldies topic:

2nd/3rd calls for T-Rex - Hot Love is particular fave and Monster - The Automatic

I'll add:

Another Girl Another Plant - The Only Ones

Beauty and the Beast - David Bowie

Force of Nature - Oasis

The Freeze - Spandau Ballet (ending the Dinosaurs?)

I Feel the Earth Move - Carol King

Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix

Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

#69. JillyM LOL, stop it I'm supposed to be working dot dot dot dash dash dash etc.

Jerry Lee Lewis- Great balls of fire..........



Hall and Oates Maneater



LOL

Since you mentioned the wind, #65 Deebee, and this is a blog of wildlife lovers, this morning when I looked out of the back door, I saw a huge webbed footed bird that looked like he was sheltering from the wind, between a plant pot and the house, and I think it was a young seagull. He seemed OK as he soon ran along the garden path followed by my Bassets sniffing around him, then he leapt on the wall and took off!



https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6071/6146110565_570ba3c49d_z.jpg



My husband, said thank goodness for that as we seem to have been home for abandoned or injured birds for ages, with the rescued baby pigeon in July (Woody) that stayed here for a month, being spoilt with warm peas and sweetcorn and it took four attempts for him to leave home -- three times he was back by the evening and he was very gentle and became really tame and liked to sit on my hand to feed.



https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6005/5939709762_cd997635e9_z.jpg



Woody comes back most days and sits on the lawn to feed with some collared doves he's befriended (he's still too young to have the white marks on his neck and comes close to me, so I know it's him).



Last week I was walking past my friend's stables with my dogs, when his kids shouted to me that the stable cat had grabbed a pigeon and made his wing bleed and he couldn't fly, so I noticed it was a juvenile pigeon and picked him up, put him into a doggy bag and took him home.



https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6157/6146660132_642ec1557d_z.jpg



I put him in the cage that was in our garage when we moved here (a good job we kept it), and put TCP on his wing and bathed it and put Savlon cream on it several times a day and once it looked to be healed, I let him go and he flew out across the fields away from cats, hopefully!

Pertinent songs by Dinosaur Jr, Queens Of The Stone Age or Tyrannosaurus Rex, of course.

Isn't it cheeky to have "dinosaurs" as a theme and an interview with Mick Jagger, when the Rolling Stones surely must have been one of the list of "dinosaur bands" during the days of punk, or was it just the bands that "progged" more than they "rocked" like Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd?

JOHNNY CASH, KESHA and KING CRIMSON have all recorded songs called "DINOSAUR" .

"ALLEY OOP" by the HOLLYWOOD ARGYLES

"ROCK WITH THE CAVEMAN" by TOMMY STEELE & THE STEELMEN

KatyM - you are so wise. I'd be daft enough to do the washing and ironing. I definitely agree to hold back on the 'get stuffed' sentiment, Sparky. As hurtful as your daughter's plans are to you, she probably takes for granted all the things her wonderful Mum does for and would be mortified to think she had hurt you in any way. There is the always chance that not all her plans will come off, you know what teenagers are like for changing their mind. I'm ashamed to say my Mum did all the cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing til I left home aged 25. Having said that I soon adapted and managed to do these chores myself (not to Mum's standard tho').



~ xx

#68 Just as an aside Jeremy Vine played Ruby yesterday and said that the end line "For God's sake turn around' was 'the best lyric ever'!!

#73 - LuciesMum, how lovely that Woody as flown the 'nest' but still comes home to see you. A bit like the uni-bound (not uni-bond, they're the ones that stick around and outstay their welcome) children. At least he doesn't bring his washing with him ;)



~ xx

Daughters and uni...... my eldest lasted FOUR nights in halls and came home sniff sniff hated it. She had a car and was able to commute...we just went into damage limitation mode and wrote the £3,300 up-front non-returnable fee for an empty room off...OUCH!!( funny how I still remember the amout after 6 years...)

.....she graduated with a 2:1 so it all turned out ok in the end...

True #77 Toots, but I really felt quite sad when Woody left for the first time and stayed out all night, making me worry for him as I would for a teenager and I was outside the front and back garden looking for him all the time. My husband, who thinks I'm bonkers anyway, was even more convinced of my 'bonkerness' after I first saw Woody return and was sitting on the house roof, because I rang him from the garden, when he was at work and rather excitedly shrieked "Woody's back!" He said "...and you rang me at work just to tell me that!"

Talking of mature artists, I beleive that Kate Bush has another new album due shortly? That's halving the gap between new material from 12 years to 6 years.



She's in danger of becoming "prolific"! :-)

#79 - LuciesMum - I can imagine it was a huge worry for you 'til you saw Woody had survived on his own and I can imagine how excited you would be at his return. I'm sure your husband was as relieved as you were.



#80 - Ken - that will surely cheer up a lot of the men-folk on this 'ere blog.



~ xx

#80 Ken - Yeah!!

#81 Toots - it certainly cheers this one up :)

Ice Age Send Me (On My Way) .........cracker



LOL

And a very good morning to one and all.



Best of luck to Mandy and Zoe Double-Ewe.



Luciesmum, lovely story about Woody, really brightened my day.



Sparkyhunter - smile and do the washing, you are not low on the pecking order, you are above it and the moral high ground is a good - if precarious - place to be.



cSn - picking up your comments from yesterday, I am really sorry you are in such a horrible place and I hope there is someone caring for you, whilst you are taking such good care of your friend.



Lots of people in need of a bit of comfort and kindness at the moment.



Quite tough theme for todays tunes and I need another cup of tea first.



Take care all. xx

#59 MTF [and Deebs later] Thanks for the thanks for the scarf and hat. I honestly don't expect people to HAVE to say thanks personally - and wouldn't be at all offended if they didn't.

As for my scarf today MTF - decided to cut out the middleman and pop it straight around my neck x



#60 Always good fun, Kev. How fast does that hour go by? Whoosh! Great 80s tracks BTW x

Good afternoon,



Oh, struggling with this theme. As dinosaurs are no longer here:



SLIP, SLIDIN' AWAY by Simon & Garfunkel

IT'S ALL OVER NOW by The Rolling Stones (looking forward to hearing Mick Jagger)



Or maybe:



GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY by Bow Wow Wow



Sparky, A tough thing for sure. Lots of good advice given above. All I will say is boyfriends will come and go but you will always be her mum.



Have a good day.x

#86 - Hey Julia - Re: advice to Sparky - never a truer word spoken. You are most definitely having a 'perceptive and insightful day' as prescribed by Mr M.



~ xx

Morning my lovelies...............I agree with Simon that there is 'something' about a Wednesday that makes it different and special...............especially when the big yellow thingy is back in the sky..................plus the lovely Kevin is back on the telly tonight with a new series of GD (other programmes are available on other channels at the same time!!!)



Here goes to try and rectify my appalling mensh rate. Although I know it is the participating that counts ;0)



THE PURPLE PEOPLE EATER -SHEB WOOLEY

FIVE FEET HIGH AND RISING - JOHNNY CASH

BONES - THE KILLERS

EXTINCTION - AVRIL LAVIGNE

THE ANCIENT (GIANTS UNDER THE SUN) - YES

YOUR FEET'S TOO BIG - THE BEATLES

UNLUCKY CREATURE - IKE & TINA TURNER



Ta ta for now and take care at junctions everyone ;0)'



Dougal x



P.S Sparkyhunter it is really difficult juggling families. Just go with the flow and it will all work out. Plus the bf's family probably think that you are a wonderful Mum for being so understanding.

morning all



walk the dinosaur-was not was



seaside shuffle-terry dactyl and the dinosaurs



get it on-t rex



dinosaur adventure 3d-underworld



man eater-hall and oats(a lot of dinosaurs or meat eaters)



i eat cannibals-toto coelo

Oh my word, just caught up on yesterdays blog, it appears I got my first ever mensh - my life is complete! That's successfully wiped out the next couple of hours, which will now be spent listening to yesterdays show.



ps Laser quest was excellent!! Sweaty 10 year olds in the car on the way home, all highly amused by the noise a balloon makes when the air escapes - not so excellent.



MTF - comments about Glastonbury Tor, I can't put my finger on it either, its quite a magical place and I didn't want to leave, despite the gale force wind that was blowing on the day we were there.



Still no idea about tunes for today - other than those so far - second cup of tea hasn't helped.



xx

''smile and do the washing, you are not low on the pecking order, you are above it and the moral high ground is a good - if precarious - place to be''.



Thank so so much for all the insights - you guys are fabulous! I like the moral high ground comment...... I think I will keep my gob shut and smile sweetly....she can iron it though b**g**r that for a game of marbles!



Lovely chat of wildlife and nature on the blog...gives a warm and fuzzy feeling....



xx Sparkyhunter

#45,#51,#54, #62 & #84 Thank you Sparky Hunter, Toots, Tee Dot, Deebee & Matthew's Mum for thinking of me, and wishing me well for my meeting :)



I'm pleased to report that it all seemed to go very well, and I think we actually made some progress *Is very very cautiously optimistic* We are keeping our fingers crossed now for an extension of our extra help with the boys through until January 2012. I still think the system needs simplifying though, there are too many hoops to jump through, and most families with disabled children have neither the time nor the energy for it all.



#73 Lucies Mum - Lovely photo's and I applaud your pigeon saving endeavours. My mister has been tending to a white pigeon, which arrived in our garden on Monday. It looks like it has an injured leg, and the mister has been feeding and watering it while it gets it's strength back. Here's a photo of it...

https://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1738/pigeon008.jpg

#90 I'm sure I heard a mensh for you a week or so ago :-/ It might have been for biblical oldies, I could have sworn I heard your name read out for Delilah, although it could have been something else, I definitely heard your name menshed though.

#92 Zoe Double-Ewe - is that the "Dove from Above"? cooooo

Quick poop back...



Lucies Mum, what a lovely post and pics. You did well, to look after the injured pigeon so well.



Now here's the thing!



I've just been spending the last couple of hours, chopping, coring, and peeling yet more apples, honestly they are endless and the trees still look full of them... anyway, back to the point..



If you can get seedless grapes, how come they didn't do the same for the apple? It would save me hours of toil. Who fancies being resident 'scientist of the day?'



MTF.xx

Likewise Zoe, what a handsome bird.



MTF.xx

#90 & #93, I stand corrected Matthew's Mum (I looked it up) You got a mensh for the 'Showing Off' oldies for 'I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby' - Kid Creole and the Coconuts. I hope you heard it back then :)

#96 MTF - I don't want to be "scientist of the day", white coats and all that but I g**gled seedless apples and found this: -



"There ain't agoing to be no core," said Tom Sawyer, but he was 80 years ahead of the times. The first coreless, seedless apples known to science were discovered only last year. Weighing a plump quarter-pound each, they grow on a freak tree in Mrs. Libbie Wilcox's backyard in Huntington Park, Calif.



This week the Department of Agriculture is working with the tree in the hope of making seedless apples as commonplace as seedless oranges. Since there are no seeds to plant, the new fruit must be propagated by grafts on normal apple trees.



Interesting?

#94 & #96 Thanks, the mister says that it is a white pigeon, is that the same as a dove? I don't really know to be honest!

Afternoon all



Busy blog again!



Apologoes for the late arrival; IT issues first thing and then off-site meetings have kept me away.



Lovely pigeon pics - well done for looking after them so well.



No suggestions from me today - no time left to think of them.



Hopefully back later
