Just catching up on a few things from yesterday...



Well done to Autumn_Gale and PhilMewis for the Chasing Cars mensh. As I mentioned before, I love the song - although curiously it reminds me of Richard Hammond's crash as it was being played a lot during the period he was in hospital... It's always lovely to hear bloggers names but especially when it's people who don't often get menshed. And I say that with no irony whatsoever - I get slightly embarrassed if my name (whichever version!) gets read out too often, which is why I sometimes back away from the choon choosing.



Thanks to those who texted/messaged me about Mark King being on The One Show. Unfortunately I went out about 5 minutes before his appearance. I'll be watching on iThingy later...



Lovely to see Jilly's appearance earlier this morning. Missing you!



#21 Get you indeed, Gill! Impressive!

Hi Simon and everyone



Must say my sympathies with you Simon in this sad time, thinking of you and your family, another angel to keep my dad company, 4 and a half months now! ;(



Heard yesterday that my contract here ends next week ;( they are happy with my work and work ethic though its just that because I want to make sure the accounts are 100% right and insist on perfection they dont charge enough to their clients for this kind of service and believe you me most of their clients records are appalling ( plastic bag jobs full of receipts and unopened bank statements) the clients expect accounts to prepared for peanuts from unstructured records!!! "rolls eyes"



Anyway I have sent numerous emails to my contacts so hopefully I will be gainfully employed again soon!



1. EQUINOX - Jean Michel Jarre ( blimey Simon quick show if thats all you require for the oldies theme!)

2. Baby Come Back - THE EQUALS

3. FOREVER AUTUMN - Justin Hayward

4. BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE - Tom and Cerys

5. CALIFORNIA DREAMING - Mamas and papas or River City People ( .."all the leaves are brown")

6. GOLDEN BROWN - Stranglers

7. SEPTEMBER - Earth Wind and Fire

8. CHANGE - Tears For Fears

9. SEASONS IN THE SUN - Terry Jacks

10. MOONLIGHT SHADOW - Mike Oldfield and some Maggie bird



Oh and happy 40th Gazza ( welcome to the Norty Forties!)



Have a nice day.



Mandy ;)

Morning,



It's only natural - Crowded House

Here comes the night - Beach Boys



Fi

Good Morning Each!



gazza. Definitely, DEFINITELY, entering your thirty first year, so why whittle about being 30. You started you thirtieth year last year. I hope that this one is significantly better for you than that one was. Happy birthday, old lad. Have a good 'un. (I know, I know, less of the 'old')

Morning all



First thought:



'Coming Around Again' - Carly Simon



Back after more tea.



N xx

Morning all



Had a busy couple of days, so not been around much on here or to hear the show!



#27 - that is the nature of the small acc'y practice this days I'm afraid!



Some excellent tunes to choose from, so I'm going to pass, but as a September baby, the Neil Diamond song always resonates with me.



Daughter has to go to the dentist later for a Supernumery ttooth to be extracted! It's an extra milk tooth right at the front so it needs to go so her new big teeth incisors come down straight. She's only ever had a check up before so hopefully all will go well.



Cheers



A

pfff..edit button, EDIT BUTTON. 30 is the new 40. etc, etc....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAZZA - and many more of them!!



Grump of the day - What is the point of booking a delivery slot for your groceries to be delivered when they arrive 2hours and 10 minutes before that slot? More grumpy phone calls to make. Grr....................



JW

#33 - Jennie, it's a bugbear of mine too. Ordered a dining suite to be delivered on a certain date, took said day off work, only for the driver to ring me up (while I am at work) and ask if it was ok of they could drop off tomorrow! A full week early! Why oh Why?



A.

THE AUTUMN LEAVES - NAT KING COLE/FRANK SINATRA

SEPTEMBER MORNING - NEIL DIAMOND



are two beautiful songs to calm the grumpy blogger! ;0)



I hope all goes well with your daughter at the dentist, Andy - good luck!



JW

Greetings, fellow bloggers. It's been very wet here recently the boss's new boat may come in handy if things continue.



Not an easy subject today, but I suggest



NORTHERN LIGHTS - RENAISSANCE - we are entering the months when these appear and it's also Blackpool Illumination time



I like the suggestions of Forever Autumn (always a good song, if somewhat overplayed on a certain radio station that isn't rough, if you get my meaning) and also Level 42 - Sun Goes Down - I share a birthday with Mark King (and Tom Petty) for what it's worth.

#25 Coincidentally I have just been reminded that it was six years ago today that 'the Hamster' had his 300 mph crash. You know that thing where you remember vividly what you were doing when you heard a significant piece of news? - I was on board a boat doing a Day Skipper course, and we had been doing some night sailing practice coming up the River Orwell in the dark. We'd just tied up and were having a cup of cocoa, and I noticed I had a text from a friend. She was telling me that Richard Hammond had had this high speed crash and it wasn't known whether he would live... Thank goodness he pulled through...



#31 Hope your daughter gets on okay at the dentist, Andy.



~X~

Afternoon all



JW & DB - I'm sure she'll be fine, but she was a bit nervous this morning, but our dentist is great and has a nice manner with the children.



I'll be glad when it's gone as she looks like a juniot Nanny McPhee at the moment, with a peg tooth right in the middle! Just in time for school photies next week!



A

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday dear Gazza,

Happy birthday to you!!



Will put on 'Rock the Casbah' and turn it up loud in your honour. Being 40 (and beyond) isn't so bad, you'll see.



See you soon xx

Some late thoughts of songs that refer to autumn in the lyrics



MAGGIE MAY = ROD STEWART

(its late September and I really should be back in school)



SEALED WITH A KISS - BRYAN HYLAND

(opening line ' Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer')



RAMBLE ON - LED ZEPPLIN

(opening line ' Leaves are falling all around')



Enjoy the day, me and Mrs Vildeen are off for our hols tomorrow to explore the interior of our newly adopted country, happy blogging to all )

Morning All,



'Long Hot Summer' Style Council

(long hot summer just passed me by)



Happy Birthday Gazza, hope you have a great day

Hello everybody, sorry, no time to look back so this has probably already been suggested but I love



SEPTEMBER SONG - Ian McCulloch



Might poop in later to have a read through if I get a min.



SE x

Happy Birthday Gazza - hope you have a good one



Deebee - thanks for the heads up - didn't know I'd had a mensh (parents' meeting last night from 6.00-7.30 so didn't hear most of the show). I am retrospectively excited ;)



Mandy, sorry to hear you're job-hunting again. I'm sure something will come up soon - fingers crossed.

Hi all, sorry about the lateness of my tune request..



PAUL WELLER CHANGING MAN



SAM COOKE A CHANGE IS GONNA COME



Happy 40th Gazza, all the very best..

Will one of you lovely bloggers do me a HUGE favour? I have to have another day-stay op tomorrow and won't be around to request an ARFO, so would you PLEASE

ARFO from Jennie Wren ...



LETS TWIST AGAIN - CHUBBY CHECKER





Thanks again you lovely lot!!



JW

Jennie - hope it goes OK for you - I will c & p your ARFO request, not a problem. Take care xx

Thanks Hoffs - you're a star!



JW

Jennie, wishing you the very best for tomorrow. As LilacBlue would say - gentle hugs. I'll be Hoffs' back-up for posting your ARFO if she can't do it for any reason.



~X~

Afternoon all



Brief poop in:



Happy Birthday Gazza - hope you're having a good one!



Jennie - very best wishes for tomorrow. hope it all goes OK



T x

Hi DeeBee, hope you are well.. :0)





JT69

#55 Yes I'm fine - thanks for asking. And yourself?



I have just had to leave the common room at work - they are talking about the office C*******s party... Aaaaaaarrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!



:oO

Both Sides Now (orchestral version) - Joni Mitchell



Willy the Shake

x

Thanks for being back-up, Deebee. What more could a blogger ask for? ;))



And as for talk of X**s - :((



JW

Is it just me, or does that new Robbie Williams song sound like something that would be better suited to Rod, Jane and Freddy?

#56 DeeBee, Yes I'm good also...saw your tweet re horrid trolls..totally agree

How bizare you talking about X*** parties, had to book the location for our "DO" this morning..guess its that time of year :0)



Soooooooo looking forward to Chrimbo this year



Hi Jennie Wren *waves*



JT69

#59 PoS,

No Paul, I think its just like the TV add for those little clear sweets with the fried egg in :-)



~Afternoon All ~

~gill~

#61. Ooh, I don't think I've seen it. And I'm not entirely sure what sweets you are on about. H*r*bo?

#21 Gill - I only had a duvet morning, but it was needed :-)



Gazza - Happy birthday to you! Hope you're having a lovely day. x

Hope all goes well tomorrow Jennie.



Robbie song sounds very TT in my opinion - but then I think it was co-written by Gary Barlow.

#50, Jennie, I hope everything goes well for you, tomorrow xx

I'm just trying to picture Simon in his onesey (sp) with stars and stripes on!!



I hope he posts a picture of himself wearing it!! ;o)

Flo, you can see Simon looking rather.. well, you be the judge on the webcam found to the lower right of the Radio 2 homepage. :^)

Thanks for all your good wishes for tomorrow. xx



Hi Jon - good to see you.



We've just eaten home-grown corn on the cob - absolutely delicious, she says with a dribbly chin!!



JW

The team look very funny in their onesies. I thought they reminded me of 'The Clampetts' from 'The Beverly Hillbillies'!



Excellent choonage being played tonight. 'Golden Brown' is such a great track.



Best wishes for tomorrow, Jennie. And no, you can't beat home grown corn on the cob, cooked as soon as it is picked.



mc x

Have good evenings everyone.



See you later tomorrow if they let me go!



JW

Jennie - hope all goes well for you tomorrow.



As for the onesies, frankly don't know what to say. I don't think anyone else in the office listens to R2 as I was the only one giggling behind her computer. Simon looks as if he waiting to be fired from a canon. Poor Matt!



Gloriously clear night here. I can't remember the last time the stars made me go wow; just been sitting outside with a wee drink enjoying the peace.



I think the only mention I actually heard was our birthday boy (if you can call one of his advanced years a boy?) Gazza.

thank you all 4 the birthday wishes im now old lol.



amelia i got a mention 4 the kinks song.



a song he played today was going to be my arfo because the earth wind and fire song september starts with the line,do you remember the 21st night of september.



gazza xx

Ta Gazza, I had meant to go back and add what song it was for but got distracted. Excellent choice!

thanks amelia



just replied to all the fb messages over 100 birthday wishes it took a while im not getting younger lol



gazza

Comments on here would suggest you are somewhere between 18 & 59. Turning 30 was harder than turning 40 for me.



Is it just me? I go to bed (pjs not onesie) meaning to read & end up on twitter instead.

#75 i turned 21 lol

Morning all. A grey and dark one here. Didn't hear too much of the show except Gazza's mensh and some giggling about the onsies.



Glad it's nearly the weekend as it's been another busy week. Catch you all later for ARFO.

Happy Birthday SIMON !!!!!

~gill, hubbs n cherub~
