Titter ye not
Hmmm (stands in front of class) It seems some of you have been misbehaving. It seems some of you find it funny to fantasise about ginger haired folk and make carry-on references and expect the rest of us to guffaw along with you. Even if we did, that's no excuse. You must stay on the blog all day until you have learned that mousy blondes win every time. Carry on.
A lively blog indeed, a fine achievement. Was it just the rustle of undergarments or something about the turn of the season? Who knows. Let's see if the mood continues today... Wasn't Nick Lowe just terrific? It is rare for a performer to get better with age but if you listen to his 'Alison' rendition, his voice is on top form. The album is lovely and whether he was visited by his alter-ego 'The Bloke' or not, it's a great collection of songs.
Today we welcome Julian Lennon to Drivetime with a new album. I'm wondering whether to tell him my roadshow story or not. I have mentioned before that at a Radio 1 Roadshow in 1991 (I think) I introduced Julian by saying something like "Would you welcome to the St Austell roadshow...with a rare appearance in the UK...ladies and gentlemen...John Lennon!" Fortunately, the only people who didn't notice were Julian and me, so Saltwater was duly sung and no damage done. Maybe it's time to confess. Julian on from 6.
The oldies were terrific fun I thought yesterday and just a shame and I didn't get to play "Big Man' by the 4 Preps which would have been the icing on the cake (included for the first line if you're wondering). Today I think we should do WESTERNS. The shortlist for the Booker prize includes a western for the first time, called 'The Sisters Brothers' by Patrick deWitt set in 19th century Sierra Nevada. The WESTERN is back apparently so let's get the oldies sorted!
Have a comfortable and straightforward Wednesday, see you after 5.

Got to listen to Nick Lowe on ithingy as I was working last night till 6.50pm, so missed him - ALISON is one of my favourite ever ever songs...have seen Elvis do it and it brings a lump to my throat every time (a friend called Alison, who had recently given birth to a baby girl died of an infection at around the time that song came out..)

My sis in law and I had a discussion saturday about our 'strange' secret crushes - we had Jimmy Carr in common (a man who can make you laugh, unless it's AT him) is a keeper!

Philip Glenister - I saw him first! - I loved him in 'Vanity Fair', long before Gene Hunt came along. Other mousey blondes in my (fantasy) life have included Level 42's Mark King...
Julia - lovely to 'see' you. I was thinking about you only the other day, wondering where you were - you were still down in my phone list as 'Julia 39'. I'm sure your little girl will love pre-school - she probably won't want to come home.

Also was in Clocking Off, which is where I first spotted him.
Anywho - enough of the PG, for non-PG fans, (#88) we might have to change the subject!
#89 Thinking woman's 'crumply'? now that's another good subject..many of our heart throbs are in fact eligible for free public transport!!
Western theme:

Come on, it's said in a lot of Westerns, just afore the big gun fight!

#88Deebee Benedict Cumberbatch does it for me, kinda geeky and pasty!

SO SORRY for not being on here for so long. New job means that I can only sneak on to here evey now and again. I am tweeting my choices though, so I feel as though I am joining in!
Anyway, my choice for today is;
WILD WEST HERO by ELO.
Enjoy Wednesday (What's left of it!)
