Hi Simon and everyone



I can understand why you dont use spreadsheets as you are more lyrical than numerical and very good at words you are too.



Well done to everyone who got menshes and to Shona the other day on a very nice acknowledgment from Simon that your tune was a good one.



Shona, one of your tunes for your story could be "Moving on up" by Primal Scream or that New Radicals tune...extremely uplifting!

As Jamie started off cooking at his father's knee and he says he is now getting his kids to do the same how about ...



RUNNING IN THE FAMILY - LEVEL 42



I do love a good cook book and am a big fan of Jamie's offerings so..



BOOK OF BRILLIANT THINGS - SIMPLE MINDS



...and I know there is no chance of this getting played but in light of Jamie's anti obesity commitments ...



HEY FATTY BUM BUM - CARL MALCOLM



;-D

Good morning everyone.



Nothing that I'd like to hear comes immediately to mind except on my mp3 player I have a track by June Tabor, it's a medley which contains "Jeannie & Jamie" and, as there's not chance of it being played, I'm off to listen to the album.



And, bytheway, the 'confessor' from last night was certainly having memory problems. I don't think any regular at Wolves' games in the 70s would have recognised the Molineux in his tale.

CHOCOLATE CAKE - Crowded House

Simon, spreadsheets can actually be rather fun they keep things so orderly. It all depends on the contents !

SWEET POTATO PIE - James Taylor

Chow!

Ooo forgot about Breakfast in America ....



In my previous job, Roger Hodgson, who was an alumae of the school, came back to do a concert. That day happened to co-incide with my leaving 'do' and he came into the room we were assembled in and played a couple of songs in the late afternoon... very exciting to say I had 'Supertamp' play at my leaving party!

Somethings got me started - Simply Red.



MTF.xx

Has anyone mentioned BOILED BEEF AND CARROTS yet? My grandad used to sing that song to me when I was little :)

A little respect - Erasure.



MTF.xx

Will it be chips or jacket spuds, will it be salad or frozen peas?



Will it be mushrooms, fried onion rings, you'll have to wait and see!



Hope its ....



Chips on my shoulder - Tainted Love.



MTF.xx

Doh, doh, dough!

#46 Zoe, my Dad used to sing that to me when I was a nipper too. Always loved the line.. 'Don't live like vegetarians on food they give to parrots' :-)



Hope you're feeling better soon.



Jx

One Vision! Of course. Thankyou everyone.



Forget Fried Chicken. How about:



The Funky Chicken!



DD

Now I've reminded myself of



Little Red Rooster ~ The Rolling Stones



I seem to have my own little chicken theme!



DD xx

A chef isn't much use without them.....



Mack the Knife.



MTF.xx

another suggestion

The Chicken Song - Spitting Image

Tiggs xxx

Morning all. I've changed my ID to something that is now more suitable

Sally CINNAMON - Stone Roses

Green Onions - Booker T ... (nod to #30)

OLIVERS Army - Elvis Costello (nod to soooo many)

Lady MARMALADE - whichever version



have a great day all.

#44 *sign* ah, Roger Hodgson - went slightly reluctantly to see him (solo) at the Royal Albert Hall 'how can one man fill that with sound' was my worry - but unfounded.

It was the most 'intimate' large gig I've ever been to, he played his oldies and some newies - couple of organs (sorry keyboards) and a guitar. Some crowd chat, interaction etc.

SUPERB gig, lovely chap.

SUICIDE IS PAINLESS (THEME FROM MASH)



TASTE OF HONEY - THE BEATLES



VIA CON ME (chips, chips, chips) - PAOLE CONTE

Late thoughts on a very changeable weather day



SCARBORO FAIR (PARSLEY SAGE ROSEMARY AND AND THYME) - SIMON & GARFUNKEL





CLASSICAL GAS - MASON WILLIAMS

SPICE GIRLS - Spice Up Your Life

SIMON & GARFUNKEL - Scarborough Fair (Parsley Sage Rosemary & Thyme)

#23 went to the 2/11 show page, no sign of last night's confession...and would really like to read, as I lived in Brum in the 70's and was at 6th form with a member of the Molineux family (spellcheck?) they were trés rich!

No idea why confession not up as per usual, maybe it was racy/libel-ous etc?!

Hi Suzie



Maybe it's not up as it suggested that the great Bobby Charlton swore at a 12 year old kid (for not throwing a football to him).



How could anyone believe that?



DD

Afternoon all



DIXIE CHICKEN - Little Feat please



Dixie chicken and Tennessee lamb sounds like the makings of a half decent mixed grill to me. Maybe more Little Chef (before the celebrity-chef makeover) than Jamie Oliver, but then I'm a man of simple food tastes.

#76 hmmm Charlton family might have kicked up yes, in order to keep his memory saintly...

Afternoon Poppeteers



#17 Thanks Mandy, I've made a note of the song.



#50 Jilly - just for the record - Jock loves eating chicken legs bones. It's disgusting but remarkable to watch.



Made a list of songs and left it in the office! Bah. Most of them have been mentioned so I'm just going to second :



Shake Rattle and Roll - Bill Haley and the Comets.



Very wet and dark here today.



Catch you all later



Shona x

You'll have been waiting for this! Apologies for lateness but meetings this morning got in the way.



U2 tune for the day is "Crumbs From Your Table". Generally what I have left to eat!



GB

you always find me in the kitchen at parties-jona lewis



food for thought-ub40



bread and butter-newbeats



dancing in the moonlight-toploader(used as the tune 2 his supermarket ads)



olivers army-elvis costello

I've seen how hard he used to kick those old heavy footballs on old footage. No way anybody who kicked something that hard could ever be saintly. I'll bet he could swear with the best of them :-)

Happy lunchtime from a cloudy and overcast Horsforth.



My experience of harrassed executives is to have a really impressive looking spreadsheet on it (preferably with a colour chart) but not to actually do anything to it!



Here's a different one:



THE ANDREWS SISTERS - HOLD TIGHT (GIVE ME SOME SEAFOOD, MOMMA)



Keeping fingers crossed for Mr Aquaplane's job interview today, he's in his new suit 2nd time out, 1st being his dad's funeral. It's a promotion for him, moving along from the blowing things up in glass jars he does at the moment.

Hi



#78. He's still around you know!



DD xx

FIND THE RIVER - REM



RIVER MAN - NICK DRAKE

#75 Suzie, spelling Molineux can be tricky but that's how you spell the name of the football ground where Wolves play. Mrs Snapper was "Mullineux" before she married the first time. At school she sat next to a girl named "Molyneux", they had the same first name too, but they were unrelated. Seems every family has a different way of spelling it.

Jamie Oliver the best chef in Britain?? Jings!! Certainly one of the highest profiles and more active (media-savvy?) than most, but the best? At chef-ing? Give us a break! (Apologies for the over-use of exclamation marks but nonsense like that gets my goat!!!) Anyway, here's a couple of tunes -



LUCKY LISP- Morrissey

WHEREVER I LAY MY (CHEF'S) HAT (THAT'S MY HOME) - Paul Young





G

Well that's what you get for being conscientious - I left for work, and then the new blog arrived. No time for mensh chasing by the time I got here as I had to go off to a meeting straight away, although I did manage to tweet a few suggestions. I hope nobody was worried about me being stuck somewhere in a broken down car...



Some great suggestions above. I'm feeling slightly despondant about the song suggesting at the mo - not too worried about getting menshes, but I haven't even had any of my suggestions played. Clearly I'm not on the wavelength right now. I'm sure it's just a phase though.



#75 Suzie, are there any other famous people that you were at school with...? ;o)



~X~

#50 Thanks Jilly :)



That song does bring back some lovely childhood memories :)) I just found out that Chas and Dave once recorded a country sounding version of 'Boiled Beef and Carrots' under the name of 'Oily Rags' in 1974 (Oily Rags being the Cockney rhyming slang for fags!) Here it is, for the curious...



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdkxZikz0ro

Off to work now, its usually me stuck somewhere in a broken down car Deebee ;)



Have a good afternoon everyone.



It'll soon be Friday.



MTF.xx

Hi Simon & Dr Mosh :)



How about Limme and Family Cooking "You can do magic"

#89 Sorry you're not well Zoe (apologies, I missed that on my first read back). Hope you're managing to get a duvet day.



#90 Drive carefully now, MTF!



~X~

Good afternoon all from a dark,drizzly Essex. Not very warm either! Anyone would think it was autumn!



V late suggestion



Sugar Sugar - The Archies



Slips away to the store where every little helps......................



Jennie

#92 Thanks Deebee :) I'm up and about now, I was lured out of bed by the mister's offer of sausage and mash...



I hope you've got your car troubles sorted :-S

#75 By the time I was at 6th Form college doing A levels, rubbing shoulders with the Molyneue Molyneaux Moly- oh you know who - Lord Ammo would have left the Brum-shire to go to Uni, as I think he's a year or two older than me.

*Iwasachildbridebeforeyouask*

hello all...getting later and later to the party :-) Enjoyed last nights show and the REM interview, well done all the bloggers who had songs picked esp for The Four Tops one.



Had my nails done this morning so only able to tweet a couple of songs before having my finger ends wrapped in tinfoil, coton wool and nail varnish remover!



Jamie has been to The Shire a few times and to my old school to use the domestic science room/home ecconomics room/food technology dept (delete as appropriate depending on when you went to school!) when promoting cooked school dinners in primaries. The Couty Council closed all primary canteens back in the 80's and it's been pack-up ever since.

#75 ah so, confession now posted on last night's page along with Pics of REM and new band (only?) member.

Obviously the IT lady that does the uploading gets to go home after the show - rather than stay on to get the page fully loaded for bloggers the next morning. Must have a kind boss.

Will read confession (missed show, was sipping martinis in the Duke of Cambridge wine bar as you do on a Tuesday...)

I just posted this on yesterdays blog, for reasons which are entirely unclear to me. C&P to the rescue. Although why I'd bother...?



▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ There! I've self censored my HMHB suggestion.

#96 Jamie Oliver opened his Ministry of Food in Rotherham town centre, which is very near to where I live. I actually don't know if it's still going, because I haven't been into the town centre for ages, I assume it is. But I applaud him for his efforts on trying to educate and teach cooking skills, to those who seemed to have missed out on even the most rudimentary knowledge of how to prepare a simple home-cooked meal.



I was lucky as a child, because everyone in my family cooked and I would help out all the time, and experiment with my own recipes. But it seems that many of my generation and younger, have never been taught any cookery skills, beyond how to use a microwave, very grim.

I'm just having a quick blog catch up after being out for most of the day and there are some fab tunes, as ever... but how the heck are they whittled down to about five, when there are so many to choose from? I wonder how they decide on the chosen few!
