Morning All,



Very frosty morn here in South Yorkshire.

It's a cold and frosty one all round I think, but I have my thermals on, so all's well.



I thought Sherlock faked his own death??? He did in the Arthur Conan Doyle Reichenbach Falls anyway. Or rather, ACD wanted to kill Sherlock Holmes off, but was persuaded to bring the character back for The Return of Sherlock Holmes, I think that's what happened :-/

Another quick choon thought ...



STRANGE BREW - CREAM

#11 Sorry JPA - I'd already posted my spoiler before I read your post, but then I was referencing the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle version of events, so maybe the TV show played out differently (I didn't watch the episode last night, we recorded it)

RE THEME of Masterchef:



Minestrone by 10CC would be nice,

or

Eat me, drink me, by Marilyn Manson - no? thought not...



MacArthers Park, by Richard Harris (cakes, burning etc)



Sugar sugar by the Archies or CHOCOLATE CAKE by Crowded House esp for the sweet-toothed Greg Wallace the chubby grocer!



FIRE by Arthur Brown for those accidents in the studio kitchens...





By the way, when is a 'teenage' bedroom not a 'teenage' bedroom, I have a prodigal son (returned from Uni, gap year etc) now working locally and enjoying the comforts of home again - whose bedroom is a health hazard!!

KING CURTIS - MEMPHIS SOUL STEW

Morning all - wasn't TOAST done by STREETBAND a.k.a. Paul Young? The confusing thing is there were two Paul Youngs. The one in Sad Cafe (sadly now in that great gig in the sky) and the one formerly of the Q-tips who had one great album 'No Parlez' before his voice gave out.



I was going to suggest BLACK COFFEE - SQUEEZE as the end of the meal.

And finally, a song for the soufflés...



RISE TO THE OCCASION - Climie Fisher



ALL RISE - Blue



RISE UP - The Commodores

Here's a pretty comprehensive review of last nights ep of Sherlock... Many spoilers within: https://www.denofgeek.com/television/1205250/sherlock_series_2_episode_3_the_reichenbach_fall_review.html



Also, courtesy of one of my Twitter tweeps, a couple of jokes...



How do you make a pirate mad? Take the 'p'.



A war horse walks into a bar. The barman asks, "why the long film."



:D

Morning all. Well this is more like winter. I keep hoping for some snow days - but no sign of it yet.

AMATEUR HOUR - SPARKS

So on the subject of teenage bedrooms... well, even Daughter's friends say her room is a mess. We once threatened to take a picture of her bedroom floor and post it on Facebook with a 'guess the colour of the carpet' caption. She's forever leaving items of food and drink to fester in there. This morning I tweeted to Simon a picture of a plastic food box, one of three we found in her room after she left for Uni. Let's just say if penicillin hadn't yet been invented we'd be millionaires by now... And on another occasion we were just off on a 2 week holiday and I went into her room to check the windows were closed, and discovered a half drunk bottle of milk, which had already been there for a few days. It doesn't bear thinking about what it would have smelled like if it had stayed there till we got home again.



Mr B says he can't wait for her to get her own house, so he can go round and trash the spare room...



;o)

#54 LOL!



I really enjoyed 'Sherlock' - I'm only sorry that I came to it late and missed the first series. Will have to try and get hold of it on DVD. I've heard there's going to be another though, so that's good!



No KatyMatey this morning? Hope she's not having to lie low again.



~X~

Morning all



If this series follows the pattern of the last series (watched and enjoyed...) I'll suggest:



OASIS - STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT



SPOILER ALERT



SPOILER ALERT



NO, REALLY, READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT SPECULATION ABOUT LAST NIGHT'S SHERLOCK:



Presumably, it was Moriaty who took the tumble at the end (somehow...)?



And a joke:



How do you make Lady Gaga mad? Pokerface



Boom, boom

And one for the poor contestant who'll be eliminated in the first round under the evil eye of Monica...





CARELESS WHISKER - George Michael

For a handy little filler ...



YOUR STARTER FOR ... - ELTON JOHN

I've no kids, so can't join in with this conversation. Is that unfortunate or quite the opposite? Discuss.....



- Paul TMFM xx

#62 But presumably you were once a teenager yourself...



Actually, I wonder whether the trend for messy bedrooms is a recent thing. I can't remember my room ever being that untidy...



~X~

I'm not sure the 'teenage' thing is relevant re. children's bedrooms. Our child is eight years away from being a teenager and certainly, in terms of untidiness, he's getting in plenty of practice now...

I'm fairly sure that the fragrant Monica doesn't appear in this series of Masterchef. She just tests the Masterchef Professionals.



No, no, it's fine. I can find my own way to the Pedant's Corner.

#64 I guess the difference is that at his age you can still get him to tidy up periodically. Once he hits 13, you will no longer have any control over his room - in fact you'll be lucky if you're allowed in it!



Right, back to work - laters, poppets...



~X~

#59 - Thanks for Andrew. I managed to skip straight pass without seeing a thing. hehehe



Really must find time to watch.



A.

"I guess the difference is that at his age you can still get him to tidy up periodically."



Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Oooh. I've just a wee flash of inspiration re. today's Masterchef topic:

Okay, picture the scene. Greg Wallace has just tasted a particularly fine pudding. And, of course, his reaction is:

Because, as we know, 'Cooking doesn't get tougher then this...'

No disrespect aimed at working mums... but I wonder if messy teenage rooms has a connection to working mums, who don't have enough time to tidy up their teenagers' rooms and instead, they do the more important chores with their limited time at home!



Like Deebee said above, I also can't remember seeing messy teenage bedrooms in our house, but my mum never worked after having her children, so she was able to keep everywhere clean and tidy every day...



Just wondering....!

Good Morning Each!

Teenage bedrooms ...... well like Paul I don't have experience of anyone but myself but will confess to being pretty untidy (and still am) however that extends only to some clothes on a chair (or occasionally a small pile on the floor).



Rules in our house were simple - no food in bedrooms and no locked doors therefore Mum went in every week and cleaned. There was no right to privacy - if I didn't want her to go in and hoover, pick stuff up etc I had to do it myself. For me the choice was simple - I hate cleaning / tidying (and now I'm working I pay a weekly cleaner) - I had a few decent hiding places for anything really private but other than that my room was cleaned every week without fail and so never got that bad.

Morning all



Late arrival today - work got in the way again.



Not much of a weekend chez Tortie - one of the mogpoppets was poorly and had to have 2 visits to the vets - thankfully she is much better now, but I need another weekend!

#70 Hi KatyMatey! Nice to see you.



#76 Why should mums of teenagers, regardless of whether or not they go to work, tidy up their rooms for them? I would think by the time their little darlings get to that age (or even earlier) they are quite capable of blimmin well tidying up their own rooms! That's part of the trouble though isn't it - kids of today expect to have everything done for them...



;o)

Hmmm... still slightly bemused at some of the frankly outmoded gender specifics being employed here.

#86 Hear, Hear Deebee, except, my cherubs seem incapable of putting anything back. Every other month I have a fit and tidy their bedrooms for them with instructions that what they get out they put back (the adage, a place for everything and everything in it's place). It lasts appx. 1 day and then it all goes to pot.



I have threatened to let them live in it but then we have visitors and need to appropriate a room and in goes Mum to tidy up. Ha.



The latest battle ground is ironing. I do the ironing, the least they can do is to put their own clothes away. The number of times I wolk into their bedrooms to find the pile I have slaved away over for hours just dumped on the floor. Grrrrr.



Best leave it there as I can feel my stress levels rising, hehehe!



A.

#86 Deebee... maybe my mum looked after us too well because she always made our beds too... we had to pull back the covers each morning, 'to let the beds' air and she would make them a bit later... that was in the days of sheets, blankets and eiderdowns, not the easy duvets we have these days... so easy for us to wash the covers and quick to make the beds too!

#88 I mean walk not wolk.



#87 I don't mean to be gender specific Andrew but the last I looked, I was of the female variety so can only call it as it is in our house. ;-)



A.

Very cold here in Bradford - and that's inside the office!!!!!



My suggestion on today's theme:



Procupine Pie - Neil Diamond

The kids today, eh?



This perfect world we've created is going to go to pot when it's handed over to them!



ROTFLMAO

Slightly off the topic of teenage bedrooms, but at least with the frosty mornings Simons fox poo should be easier to clear up (unless the poor old fox is still attached!)



Right, that's the tone suitably lowered, I'm off to lunch ...



GoD

#89 My children have been stripping and re-making their own beds since they were old enough to have a reasonable stab at it. And they have also done all their own ironing (or not!) from the age when we considered they would be safe with an iron.



I have heard of one particular Mum who, in an effort to get her daughter to tidy her room, scooped all her clothes etc off the floor into black plastic bags and put them by the front door, saying they were going to be recycled... And another story was of a girl who was terrified of spiders, and when she was quite young her Mum told her that damp towels left lying on the floor would attract them like a magnet...



Apologies Andrew - it does seem a bit stereotypical. I'm sure Dad's get just as frustrated about their offsprings' mess!



~X~

hi all



FOOD FOR THOUGHT-UB40

#94 Grrr - pesky apostrophes... please remove the surplus one from the word Dads. At least I got offsprings' right...



#93 LOL!



~X~

I don't have children so don't have first hand experience of today's kids but when I lived at home and had my own room, (which wasn't till I was about 14) it's main purpose was for sleeping in!

We didn't have tv's in our bedroom, nor computers etc etc. We played outside or read a book outside or maybe in the sitting room if it was wet. We certainly were not allowed food upstairs. And in the winter, pre central heating, it was so cold up there you stayed down in the warm anyway!



Ah the good old days!.........................
