I remember reading the Adrian Mole diaries, I also recall watching the TV adaptation, I thought it was all very amusing at the time, but I've never gone back and re-read them. I saw an article on it the other day, I'll see if I can find it and post it on here.

Morning all,

DT team, soggier bloggers and poppets and the proud parent DT Dude (well, we presume proud, post-parents eve?)

It was a very wet dark morning slogging into work today, managed to drop 3 cards/letters out of my backpack that came open - then crashed the work website, so am waiting for booboo #3 of the day!

It's Mr e's birthday today, and for 30 glorious days he is 'technically' a whole year older than me!! He he.

He grew up in the southern hemisphere so is used to a lovely hot sunny BBQ round the pool kind of birthday - the UK does not provide that luxury in January I'm afraid.



RE Diary, this might suit:



MR MISTER & 'BARE MY SOUL'



As that's what folks are supposed to do in diaries? I kept one 1971 - 1981, and included concert tickets, train ticket stubs, restaurant bills, and included momentos of my summertime in Canada at 15.....

My Mum threw them all out from where I had them stored (under my bed at theirs, of course).

I WAS GUTTED.

A boring diary to re-read is better than only having them in your memory :-(



Have a nice day y'all, back later if I'm allowed out of the pooch-house at work

GREATEST DAY -



NEVER FORGET - Take That -(Wah!)

Last one ... a bit too much of an oldie for DT?



THE STORY OF MY LIFE - MARTY ROBBINS or MICHAEL HOLLIDAY

Memories - Elaine Paige.



Memories (the way we were) - Barbara Streisand.



MTF :)

Last ideas from me, and rather proud of them I am too, if you don't mind me saying...



RAMBLE ON - Led Zeppelin



WHAT'S GOING ON - Marvin Gaye



ALWAYS ON MY MIND - Pet Shop Boys or Elvis



Good day all, and "A bientot!"



JBG

#35 Thanks Billie - I can think of quite a few from Musical Theatre land ... but they rarely get a play. So I'll plump for some personal favourites instead ...





DAYS LIKE THIS - VAN MORRISON



DAYS OF PEARLY SPENCER - MARC ALMOND





...and for bloggers



BIG LOG - ROBERT PLANT





:^)

Thinking back to the twaddle I used to write in my diary:



WISHIN' & HOPING - Dusty

'Nobody's Diary' Alison Moyet

Here's that article on Adrian Mole https://m.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/jan/16/true-confessions-adrian-mole-addict?cat=books&type=article



I did briefly keep a diary during my teenage years, and I did start one when I got pregnant, but so many things went wrong that I didn't keep it up. I do have a blog now, which I find useful, and possibly helpful to other parents going through the same kind of things that we are.



I was supposed to be doing some decorating today, but the hospital have just rang, to tell us that twin two is very upset and they think he should come home today instead of tomorrow for the weekend.



So much to do, so little time!

Morning all bloggers, it's raining cats n dogs in ole London town - boo to rain!

Anyway, I absolutely loved reading The Secret Diary of Adrain Mole aged 13 3/4, there was also a very well adapted children's progamme. I agree the DIARY theme is hard - so I'm going with:



'Teenage Kicks by the Undertones

'Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus



It's a tricky one -okey dokey have a blameless day (I borrowed that phrase from Radio 2's Richard Allinson tee hee!!!! )

A chance to suggest one of my favourites from the pre-Beatles crooner era:



STORY OF MY LIFE - Michael Holliday



a man whose backstory is so impossibly sad it makes my heart heavy just thinking about it. At least he had a number 1 single.



It has one of the best romantic closing lines in a song: "I'd like to take you for my wife, so the story of my life can start and end with you".



Bacharach & David knew a line.

Happy Birthday to Mr e!

- any excuse for a cupcake or three ..



Note I have refined the presentation and the cupcakes now come in both genders plus a flamboyant version for those of a fluffy persuasion ...

My 'all time fave' Abba track, one that doesn't get played that often, so probably not a cat in ***** chance....



My Love, my Life - Abba.



MTF :)

Just remembered. My Mum found my diary and read a bit when I was about 16. Boy, was I in trouble!



DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW? - ABBA

Ooh MTF You've inspired me. Given that you tell your diary everything



You'll Always Be My Friend - Hot Chocolate

#54 ... or perhaps ...



YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW - BEATLES

Hello blog lovelies,



Bit late to the party today, work pah!



Don't think these have been snapped up yet ...



YESTERDAY - THE BEATLES



A LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART - ARETHA FRANKLIN

ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID - SIMPLE MINDS



STORY OF THE BLUES - WAH!



Right, back to it. Will try and poop back for a read through at lunch (or before if I get a chance!)



GoD

Happy birthday to Mr e!



I kept a diary for a while. I used to fancy myself as a bit of a writer (one of these days I will write that novel!) so they were quite detailed. Probably all hokum though... funnily enough I stopped writing when I started going out with Mr B. No idea what happened to them - they probably got thrown out when my parents moved house.



I'm in the 'love rice pudding' camp - as children we used to have the tinned variety, with a dollop of jam strategically placed in the centre. And I have made 'real' rice pudding a few times - it's one of Mr B's favourites actually. Will be interesting to hear Nigel's take on it.



~X~

Another one unlikely to get played:



STORY OF MY LIFE - Lorretta Lynn



Produced by Jack White, Van Lear Rose is a cracking album.

IN MY OWN TIME - FAMILY



REELIN IN THE YEARS - STEELY DAN



and looking at my diary it is clear that I am



STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS - PAUL SIMON

Dinner ladies on either side of me with a spoon each, still didn't succeed in getting a single grain of rice pudding past my lips. Wouldn't happen nowadays! And actually, I quite like it now I have tried it. LOL!



MTF :)

PoorCaptain Jack! Just found him shut in the garage. Mr P left at 7 this morning so he's been there a while. Lots of fuss needed

#54 #56 Sometimes it's best not to know...



;o)

Another sunny morning to you all..........................the first cheeky suggestion for an oldie regarding blogging and menshes would be..............................................



It Should Have Been Me!!!!!!!!! - Gladys Knight and The Pips ;0)

I love making my own rice pudding too and actually quite liked the prunes (and prune jiuce) that topped it when I was young.



Poor Captain Jack

'Dont Believe A Word' Thin Lizzy

DEAR DIARY by TRAVIS

is a lovely ditty too, probably been mentioned above - apols if so.



RE RICE pudding, it is one of my fave Sunday lunch puds, I make it with whole milk and stir in 2 strips of lemon rind, just to give it an extra subtle taste.



#58 Re Mr e's b'day, we are doing a matinee in London on Saturday and a Chinese after with our Chinese friends who are gearing up for their big new year celebrations!

Tonight there won't be much of a celebration, apart from chocolate cake and bubbly 'cos of Mr e's soul destroying alarm time (5am)



RE my breaking the work website, a colleague has found that I accidentally deleted a whole section of the website, rather than my intended few words on a page - and has sent a message to the IT people to re-install from the copy on the server....and he has very very helpfully copied in THE BOSS. And I don't mean Bruce.

Pah.

#63 Indeed Deebs. Could tell a tale or two - but won't.



#62 A whole newly baked Fish Pie at the very least, Alex.

#52 thanks Katymatey

I'll send that onto Mr e, he's getting a chocolate flake cake from me - and he doesn't even like cake - ahem, well, shall just have to help him out, eh??!

Happy birthday to Mr e!



#69 Shh Katy. Don't give him ideas! Shephers pie tonight - he likes that. Made with real shepherd.



I really like rice pudding and haven't had it in years! My grandmother (the nice one) made a yummy rice pudding. My Mum never quite mastered it so my Dad, who was also a rice pudding fan, went for the tinned version. When he died, I was comforted by the thought that angels eat ambrosia so Dad would be happy!



Thanks for the cup cake Katy. Went nicely with my coffee. Jack had a bit of icing.

You mean I MISSED a Des song being played?



WHEN?



MTF ;)

Here is the missing "d" - feel free to insert.



Eldest girl cat hasn't got out of bed for 2 days - going to give her a poke and see if I can incite movement. Back later.

School dinners? My favourite pudding was the chocolate sponge with mint custard.

DEAR DIARY by THE MOODY BLUES (ah, the biting satire of the 60's in the final line)

DIARY by BREAD (chosen by Stevie Wonder on his R1 My Top 10 - or 12 - show, hosted by Brian Matthew)

DIARY by ALICIA KEYS

day after day - Badfinger

My mum used to make the best rice pudding - fact ;) But as I cannot do it justice, I don't make it very often.. best to live with the sublime memory :)



Locking cats in the garage and poking them! It's a cruel world down there in the depths of Kent ;)



Off out now for lunch with my best friend who will have her 5 week old daughter in tow (not literally!). With the best will in the world I am so NOT child friendly but I will attempt to googoo-gaga and peek-a-boo with the best of them. Should I take ear-plugs and wet wipes? lol :)



Jx

Eldest girl cat has perfected a sneer. To accompany it, she does a sort of Elvis lip curl. I got both when I tried to convince her that getting out of bed would be good for her. Oh well, I am sure she will get up in March.



Have a lovely lunch Jilly! Rather you than me with the 5 week old.

#78 School dinners?

LEAST favourite pudding was 'Manchester Tart' (now then now, now then, order, order, it's not a slight against Mancunian laydees)

'Manchester tart' was a bottom layer of pastry (soggy, natch) a layer of cheap red jam (unknown fruit origin) covered with wobbly pink blancmange.

DISGUSTING!!



Best pud? Cabinet pudding or treacle sponge (which was actually syrup, never worked that one out)

Soz all am still busy drilling 'oles in me walls so only time ter blog one blog but wanted ter share me most friendly not mena't ter cause offence friendly most nice blog with all... FULLY mean't in abitta 'umour... fun... food for thought and interesting commentation that yer might struggle ter find in other areas of the ww.



Ello CLP Man & ALL Bloggies...



Bingo Star 'ere...



CLP Ma Man - A agree whatta wonderful career it would be ter be a pilot.... commercial not RAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although RAF would be most nice.... except for the dropping bombs bit on people... A bit a couldn't do.... And secondly a don't think a could take the severe g-forces.... Although with anything yer do get used ter things after doing alot!!!!!!



And although with anything moving it always looks more dramatic from the outside than if yer on board the moving anything in question!!!!!!!!



From a turck ter a train ter a plane.... Looks loud, powerful.... noisy from the ground... but in the driving seat.... in the carriage.... in the cabin.... It's all more slower.... calmer!!!!!!!!!

Although am not sure a could eat a BA meal and drink a Virgin Trains cuppa tea whilst doing loop the loop in a Red Arrows T1 'awk - know what am sayin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Getting back ter yer most nice blog above.... A agree everyday a sunny blue sky is only 2,000 ter 10,000 feet up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That same though often does boggle my mind too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Getting back ter the moving stuff.... check out these interesting 3 clips of what a mentioned above:



Planes : https://youtu.be/3-7zHlOi4T4



Trains : https://youtu.be/aO3R_7LVirU



Trucks : https://youtu.be/oVU4jxlNy30



Niceness ter each ;-)))))

Where am I?



MTF :O

#83 Suzie - I love Manchester Tart's! Haven't had one for ages though, you can't seem to get 'em anywhere around here. Maybe it's a boycott because we are in Yorkshire, and we have to stand up for the Yorkshire Curd Tart!



I meant to suggest...



SUEDEHEAD - MORRISSEY



For the teenage angst and fear that someone only came around to read his diary.

#85 MTF, I'm not sure where you are but were clearly in the same place so, when you find out, will you let me know, please?

*peels off false beard and folds away Y fronts*

70s school dinners.... don't get me started.....tatties (preferably cold and lumpy) and mince (grey and tasteless) - will live with me forever....



Absolutely shattered today - 4 1/2 hours queuing and YES! I got my ticket to Leonardo and YES it was worth it - anyone thinking of going - 6am is the absolute latest and you MAY not be lucky then.



As to a modest Thursday - after all that beauty yesterday it seems only right and proper!



Anyways -



DIARY - Alicia Keys

SHAMROCK DIARIES - Chris Rea

DIARIES - The Higher

KNOWN ONLY TO HIM - Elvis Presely (Known only to him are the great hidden secrets ...)



Yes - all a bit obscure I suppose.... :O)

PS Man, In yer blog above yer mention at the end... 'let's not aim too 'igh'.... Me clip of the plane... A think they are taking yer advice!!!!!!!!!!!!



PPS Nearly finished drilling me walls. and amazingly am still on me original drill bit after 6 'ours of drilling 'oles inter me walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A bought 'alf a dozen not being sure if they would be enough as usually a burn out me masonary drill bits.... and after reading on the net aobut 'ow ter do a dmap proof course it says 'you'll need plenty of spare drill bits!!!!'



Me secret ter lasting success with a drill bit:



1 - Buy a good quality one!!!!!!



2 - 'ave yer drill on 'ammer setting and 'igh speed is a no no no!!!!!!!!!! (too fast creates friction and will burn out yer bit... It needs ter grip and chew through the brick/ masonry!!!!!!! But not too slow either!!!!!)



3 - Me biggest tip.... A drill abit of the 'ole then a keep the moment a see abitta smoke off me drill bit... A dip it in cold water in a bucket (obviuosly only the end/ drill bit... Not the whole electric drill.... Or it will be you and the whole drill smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!)



And amazingly.... (In fact am amzed mesen that's why am writing about it)... Yer drill bit will last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Talkin' of which am off ter destroy some more of me new old 'ouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Niceness ter each ;-)))))

#86 Zoe, Manchester Tarts? I'm quite keen myself ......................... ooops, should have read to the end of your post ;-)



There used to be a little sandwich shop behind the town hall in Leeds which made and sold the finest custard tarts. Wonder if it's still there?

PPS The depth am drilling is 10mm as me bricks are 11mm thick!!!!!!!!!



Some walls are two bricks thick and some one brick thick.... Which make sme realise am one brick short of being three bricks thick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Bye!

DIARY OF HORACE WIMP-ELO

LIFE OF RILEY-LIGHTNING SEEDS





and one 4 shona



ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHTSIDE OF LIFE-FROM THE LIFE OF BRIAN

And blimey......Adrian Mole 30 years old.... is anyone else feeling REALLY old.... ;O)

Favourite school pudding - chocolate sponge with chocolate custard.



Least favourite school pudding - gypsy tart. A sickly sweet concoction consisting of a pastry base and a brown topping - not sure what it was but it was similar, but far inferior to butterscotch. I was about the only person in the school who didn't like it, so I was quite popular on the days we had it.



#91 Custart tart - now you're talking...



~X~

no adrian mole will be 43 and 3/4

#86 & #91

Your versions of Machester Tart must've been far superior to the one created lovingly in my school kitchens by a cook who was more of a cordon bleugh than bleu

#95 custard even...



BTW re the 'blogger Brian' mystery. I think the most likely explanation is that he was actually a tweeter/texter, and the list compiler just got his location wrong. Or am I stating the blimmin obvious...?



;o)

#88 Shona - phew, so glad you got that in the right order!



#isitjustme

Looking at a diary and more particular this blog, how the mood and themes change is wonderful, when you log on you never know what you are going to find, except you are sure to get friendly banter and chat from a great bunch of people and advice.

For me in particular now being abroad I feel this offers me a daily link to the old country for which I am very appreciative.

Late tune thought while writing this
