So follow me follow
Well here we are again and thanks to young Elton for sitting in for me. A great selection of songs too-he's welcome back anytime (bank holidays and weekends preferably). If you had one, I hope your bank holiday was a good one. I was at the Greenbelt festival on the Cheltenham Racecourse which was graced by the likes of The Proclaimers, Bellowhead, Seth Lakeman, Frank Skinner and Robin Ince. And mud. Mainly mud. Spectacular lakes of the stuff which spread as far as the eye could see. If you didn't have wellies or staff to carry you on your sedan chair, you had no chance. This was all due to a spectacular few hours of torrential and at times horizontal rain and hail. There I was innocently signing books in a large marquee when the heavens opened and a river ran under my table in an instant. Elsewhere a friend reported the rain was so fierce as it hit the side of the tent that it vaporised and turned to spray. This was a storm alright.
Anyway we now have enough washing to last a lifetime and half a Cheltenham field caked into its folds and creases. I need to tart myself up bigtime for today's show or I'll not meet the R2 code of style and cleanliness introduced by Ken Bruce a few years back. We have standards you know. I fancy some crisp linen but might have to settle for an old Nashville t-shirt instead.
Today we talk poetry with Roger McGough 'the patron saint of poetry' according to Carol Ann Duffy. Roger has been in our lives since The Scaffold and Lily The Pink days but it has been with his poems that he has been making a name for himself for decades and his latest collection is 'As Far As I Know'. Roger from 6 and your songs please on the subject of WILD ANIMALS ON THE LOOSE EVEN IF THERE AREN'T ANY AFTER ALL. You can do LIONS if you wish of course but I thought I's spread the net wider.
Have an encouraging and efficient Tuesday, see you at 5.

hope we all had a good (extended) weekend, I had a pretty quiet one trying to ease backache so that it doesn't impact on my upcoming week's annual leave (due to start next Monday).
Anyway on to today's theme, and I'd like to propose the following:

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday - normal weekend/week for us but I think we have a local holiday some time in September, well, my husband does but I don't think the kids have it. I'll never get used to the Scottish holidays.
My suggestions this bright and breezy morning are:-
GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY - Bow Wow Wow
HOOTS MON - Lord Rockinghma XI
THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT - Tight Fit
PANIC - The Smiths

Interesting piece on procrastination on Today, yesterday. I do suffer from it but not as much as the woman being interviewed who appeared to do nothing but procrastinate (being fined £20 a day for not filing my tax return might be enough motivation to do something!)

Flanders and Swann - formed the soundtrack to my childhood, along with The Goons and Gilbert & Sullivan and Beethoven and Schubert and 50/60s musicals and Tom Lehrer etc etc ..
My parents had a one of those radiogramme thingies which looked a bit like a sideboard. Teak. If the BBC home/World Service wasn't on - they played records ALL THE TIME - even, actually - expecially, after we four children had gone to bed ... I fell asleep listening to it.
Which explains how I know every word of 'Drop Of A/Another Hat ' and 'Kismet' and 'Guys and Dolls' ... it would seem that the comedy and the tunes and the symphonies and concertos and the musicals are now hard-wired into my consciousness ...
No complaints.
:^)

#53 - Lady_S - you certainly bring a better standard of nonsense back to the blog. You've been missed.
The Cheltenham gathering must have been one of the few survivors of the weekend. Even the Mathew St festival in Liverpool succumbed. I'd have expected a better standard of resilience from the North West, but perhaps they were making allowances for those from less damp parts of the country.

I am fine, not on holiday but have had sis/bro-in-law staying, also working in between and like some blogpoppets do from time to time, took a few days off from blogging... I thought about you last week when I saw the lovely Dougie Maclean...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9tZyH0fLuc
and as Dougie and I have a mutual friend, who was with me, we had a drink with him after the show and he's such a warm, friendly guy. He had just come back from doing a festival and other gigs in America when we saw him and it seemed he'd brought a lot of them back with him as we were surrounded by Americans, who seem to love him.... they were probably here for the Edinburgh Festival, which is what his gig was part of.

I just don't think even hardened festival goers from the East and South of the country have ever experienced driving Westerly rain barrelling through the 'Cheshire Gap' which it then dumps before rising over the Pennines (all done in her best Ian McCaskill voice).
Whilst Stray cat strut was on - Mr Scruff from next door was rolling all over my drive expecting me to throw fresh mince at him to make him go away.

I've been busy with appointments so I missed preshow chat and choon chase. I liked the self-publishing interview (I've forgotten his name). Roger McGough was an easy, interesting listen as well.
Bonsoir,

I will be glad for all of us to get the old routine back though, my boys are the opposite to most other kids, in that they hate school holidays.
#60 Jennie Wren - Thank you for adding my medal guess to the list. :-)
Well done to everyone who got a mensh this evening. :-)

Good morning one and all - bright and warm but rain is forecast later - wait and see.
Has anyone found the list of music played on each 'episode' yet? It is a pain not having it when trying to track down a choon played. Mr Allinson still has one on his iThingy page. Can you not have a word with the Techies Simon? Please?

Good advice, JT. Unfortunately the sun isn't shining anymore. I only moved 5 miles and it's chucking it down.
