JW

I've also tweeted this, but I wish Simon and Mark the best of luck at the Sony Awards this evening.

Sound of The Suburbs' The Members

Morning Simon and fellow bloggers



I too managed to purchase Olympics tickets yesterday (so stressful due to not having the right card and time limits!) - although I'm intrigued as to how Simon got athletics ones - I didn't get those in my 'offering'.

Morning all!

DT team, bloggers and soggy pet poppets, and of course the soon-to-be new Blockbuster King (and who knows, Sony award winner?!) DT Dude...

Is it appropriate to say 'break a leg' RE Sony's, rather than good luck?



A reeet soggy one here in Oxford today, but at least Fri and Sun were ok, (working Saturday).

Nice different theme today, and I'd like to 2nd



DISCO 2000 by Pulp ('you had woodchip on the wall, when I came round to call, you never noticed me at all..' classic lyrics!)



And of course

COUNTRY HOUSE by Blur - which would be my favourite kind of neighbour - esp if they have public footpaths I could use



LISTEN TO THE MUSIC (OR TAKIN IT TO THE STREETS) by the Doobies, for the LOUD radio over the gardens Mr e had to endure on Saturday when our neighbours had a wee bash in their garden.



or I HEAR YOU KNOCKING by Dave Edmunds..



ALLELUJAH by Fairground attraction which is about neighbours watching, waiting and falling in love from a distance ('I see you every day, I watch as you walk down this way, we pass on the stairs of this council block, too shy to find words to say' Lovely, if not DT material:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQrzE5Peouw



I'm looking forward to hearing Mark Haddon tonight, one of the few books I have picked up and read in literally a few hrs was his Incident book. I passed it onto my son who was also so taken with it, he used it in his GCSE English class as a book to present a review of in front of the class.



We (mr e) and I went to look at buying Mark's house in East Oxford (we didn't know it was his until the 2nd viewing when we noticed the 'Incident' awards etc on the mantlepiece) I had sold my house and mr e was trying to sell his (which never happened, so we couldn't offer on Mark's house).



Mark was (and is presumably) a graphic designer/artist - and his whole cellar was covered in amazing doodlings - I wonder if the new owners painted over it - we wouldn't have!



Back later, if I can think of any more choons, or just to hear about your weekends!

Keeping up with the Joneses......





ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTER - Doris Day



*slips quietly out of the back door*

Morning all !!! Hope your all well.



Planning to have a better week than the previous one which was spent dealing with my Mum who had dementia. Her cousin came to visit from Florida, and to be honest there was never much chance of an emotional family reunion as she seldom knows who I am. We all met up in a tea shop and it all went well for an hour with Mum telling people how old she was and the like. Unfortunatly it then got all too much for her and she decided to 'walk home' after shouting at everyone. Sadly this is her 'defalt' behaviour and we simply have to walk with her untill she comes round.



Is it my imagination or is Blockbusters on tonight ? Time to check the Radio Times I think (other listings magazines are avaliable).



Can I second for todays music choice NEIGHBOURHOOD - SPACE, Id forgotten what a fun song it is untill hearing it again recently.



Looks like a good drying day so gonna get the machine loaded up. Tally ho, off I go!

Morning all



My neighbourly numbers:



'Embarrassment' - Madness

'Ring My Bell' - Anita Ward

'You Never Can Tell' - Chuck Berry

We've had some 'interesting' neighbours over the years. One in particular, who used to live next door to us on the left, and now lives next door to us on the right (it was us who moved) had a friend who owned a python. The friend came to stay with our neighbour, bringing his slithery, seven foot long companion with him. The kids, who were quite young at the time, were fascinated. I was less so. We had a cat back then, and I made quite sure the cat-flap was securely fastened that night. Just in case...



;o)

WAR - EDWIN STARR



JUST DROPPED IN - KENNY ROGERS AND FIRST EDITION



PEOPLE ARE STRANGE - THE DOORS



CLOSE TO YOU - CARPENTERS



LOOKING OUT MY BACKDOOR - CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL



and for my neighbour who is brilliant

HEART OF GOLD - NEIL YOUNG

#72 talking of neighbours with strange pets, my worst nightmare would be spiders.

Or snakes.

In which case please use this for tonight's oldies:



I DON'T LIKE SPIDERS AND SNAKES by Jim Stafford



Spotted twice in our local park/woods is a chap who arrives with a bird of prey...and lets it out for a fly around. In another park in Abingdon, we're seen a small dragon-like creature, something like a salamander/chameleon/cross on a leash..



Nowt so strange as folks.

For those with thin walls:



EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE by The Police



Which reminds me of the old (Les Dawson?) joke, 'our walls were so thin, you could dip your bread in next door's gravy'



& would like to 2nd

ALL NIGHT LONG by Lionel Richie...

*hoping the naughty step has been swept*

And don't get people without cats started on the cat poo problem in their gardens (my coffee break mistake).....

so nominating for oldies:



'THE CAT CREPT IN' by Mud

May I state here and now that both of our sets of neighbours are wonderful and have been real friends over the years but



MONY MONY - TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLES could well be a contender in some cases I would imagine!



JW

Hello to all lovely blogger friends and the Drivetime team. It's raining, but my sunny reserves were topped up at the weekend so I'm still smiling.



Haven't read the blog yet, just saw Simon's tweet first thing so here are my suggestions.



Obvious ones:



LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE - SMOKIE

MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR - JERRY MCCAIN



For those fab, friendly neighbours who can't do enough to help:



JUST CALL MY NAME - JAMES TAYLOR

FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS - QUEEN



For a tricky, once friendly neighbour relationship:



POSITIVELY 4TH STREET - BOB DYLAN



But my favourite, which I would really really love to hear is:



NEVER ALONE - LADY ANTEBELLUM



Just sank at Aquafit. Need to go and recover. Will make a coffee and read back.



See you later x

Morning!



How about:



Suburbia - Pet Shop Boys

Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Ocean Drive - The Lighthouse Family

Thank You for the Music - ABBA

EVERYDAY PEOPLE ~ Sly & the Family Stone

Jack Johnson - Good People

Scouting for Girls - She's so lovely

Probably too late now, but I don't think anyone's suggested:



LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANY MORE by Rose Royce



#78 LOL at your Aquafit antics, Hoffs! Are you regretting those doughnuts from last week now?



~X~

Have read back. Apart from Smokie and Jerry McCain, I think I am very much mis-aligned today (as usual!) with my choices.



14 - Zoe - Eurythmics - ooh, love that one



23 - Katy - Boom Shake the Room - I like it! (That's us when husband Hoffs is watching TV, poor man can't hear very well.) Also, for your later suggestion - Drifters, Come On Over to My Place - great song



30 - Julia40 - LOL!



56 - Gill - sounds like last week was a tough one. Really hope this one is better for you.



72 - Deebee - yuk, snakes! I would have been sitting by the catflap all night with a rolling pin, just in case.



When we moved in here recently, I thought I would just check with my attached next door neighbour whether they can hear anything, because we are quite a noisy lot. She very politely said that the only place that you can hear anything between the houses is in the loo upstairs, where we share a wall. All was going well until a couple of weeks ago when Mini Hoffs was sitting on the loo watching the Muppets song (The Drivetime favourite) on my laptop (don't ask, long story) and he was singing along. We suddenly became aware of someone on the other side of the wall. Goodness knows what they think we get up to having heard that!

82 - Deebee - yes, definitely, and the wine, crisps and barbeque with the boys at the weekend.



Eeek - got to go now - forgot something crucial

LET'S GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT by BONNIE RAITT

ALL I WANT IS YOU by CARLY SIMON

(both songs are about neighbours)

hi all



COME ALL OVER TO MY PLACE-THE DRIFTERS

Good Afternoon everyone



Here I was all set for joining in this morning. Got work and the office was flooded. All had to decant to neighbouring offices (how apt considering today's theme)



Off to read back

Afternoon - how about...



OUR HOUSE by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young



Splendid song.

#56 Gill - fingers crossed for a better week. It's very hard in situations like that and nothing you can do :/



#78 Hoffs - lol



And talking of unsuccessful exercise: Harry - how's your leg doing?

#56 Gill, sorry to hear about your mum. Our friend's mum is exactly the same and it's very upsetting for him as him mum does not have a clue who he is.

I'm looking forward to Blockbusters tonight and I thought I saw somewhere that it was on at 9pm but having just checked, I see it's on at 8pm but if anyone misses it, it's repeated about ten times before the second programme.... I am presuming the extra listings are repeats... or is it on every night?



https://www.onthebox.com/search.aspx?q=Blockbusters

Hi Simon, Team, Wonderful Bloggers!



Good luck Simon & Mark! You chaps are very clever by making Friday afternoon fun and interesting.



I'm with you #88 Amy Scarlett and first song in my head was:

OUR HOUSE by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Very splendid indeed.



Keep dry everyone,

LB, x

Quick poop back. Slight issue with a packed lunch. Just to say that I completely forgot to wish Mr Mayo 'good luck' for the Sony Awards tonight. Also, Blockbusters tonight - how could I forget?



Back to chores. See you at 5.05pm x

Hi Simon and the team, I'd like to hear 'Neighbourhood' by Space for an Oldies choice please! From a wet Hadleigh in Suffolk!

Hi Bird nerd.... and *welcome*! Do you know keen twitcher, Sal?

#56 Gill, sorry I missed your post earlier. Sounds like you had a tough week - hope this one is better for you ~X~X~



#91 I may be wrong about this but I think Blockbusters is on Monday to Friday, with the 5 o'clock programmes being a repeat of the previous day's 8 o'clock show.



~X~

And it's droughting again!!!



Never mind - nice and dry in here. Hope not too much damage has been done where you work Shona. Horrible mess to have to clear up and deal with - ugh...



Harry, meant to say how lucky you are to have wrens nesting in your gas meter box - keep us updated!



We have collared doves and pigeons nesting in the conifers around our pond but the magpies keep raiding their nests so I don't think they are very successful. We do have a pair of crows nesting near to us and one of them is a regular visitor to the pond to get his breakfast/lunch/dinner - tadpoles and newts we think! As long as he leaves the fish alone he is welcome to share nature's bounty!



JW

What have I learnt today? After just returning from the docs I have learnt that...



exuberant football celebrations = small tear in calf muscle!



Two weeks stir for me - good job it's only once in a blue moon (which I now realise is 44 years).



Talking of which, any chance of you playing Blue Moon?

Three word Monday...



Soaking up atmosphere!



Still it will soothe yesterdays sunburn. My ears seem to have caught it mostly ;)



Splish splash, on with the new waterproof troosers.



Happy Days :)

I could have hung round for the 100 post. Hey ho!
