I saw the suggestion of Mr Moonlight, Florence's shout, up the top and it reminded me of a poll in the Beatles Fan Club magazine about 30 years ago asking for the membership's favourite Beatles track. Mr Moonlight was one of only two of their entire canon not to receive a single vote! I can't unfortunately recall the other. I would say that its not a favourite of mine either...!



On to Mr & Mrs - if its anything like my house then:



THERE'S MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS - Johnny Nash



or



A QUESTION OF FAITH - The Lighthouse Family

Morning All,



'When I'm 64' The Beatles



'Don't Marry Her' Beautiful South



'Good Year For The Roses' Elvis Costello



Thank you Simon for the mention yesterday. Great to hear Deacon Blue sounding good



Have a good day everybody

I like your Radiohead suggestion SirC.



Hehe Molly!



ARFO 5-4-3-2-1 and Dusty Bin keep popping into my head this morning.





Shame – PJ Harvey



You never knew me – Magazine



Everybody Knows (Except You) – The Divine Comedy (just for the title)

Whoops! IT had to log on remotely to my pc to fix something. I think I got out of the blog just in time ;-)



Deebee, you are welcome.



Molly C, LOL.



x

Morning all



Already plenty of fine suggestions. I'm going with:



'I Got You Babe'- Sonny & Cher

'Always Forever' - Luther Vandross

'Stand By Your Man' - Dolly (HOIB contender?)



N xx

Mo - our IT folk are worse than the rest of us for being online in the office but I still panic when that happen and fumble madly trying to close windows. Oh the shame if I was caught on here!

#31... LOVE it, Molly Coddle!! :o)))

#33 Jeffrey in Maidenhead... interesting about Mr Moonlight getting no votes in the poll, but it came to mind when I was trying to think of songs with 'Mr' in the title and I know it won't be played as there are so many brilliant tunes listed by everyone!

Maybe by way of preparation for going on the show...



'Every Breath You Take' - The Police

Two requests today! One being a superb cover of Chuck Berry's You Never Can Tell;





C'est la Vie - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band





and the other a superb original!





I Put My Ring Back On - Mary Chapin Carpenter

hi all



WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET ER INDOOR DOORS-GEORGE COLE/DENNIS WATERMAN

Late to the party as ever, have spent my 2nd child free morning of the school year gardening, listening to Ken Bruce and watcing the pilot of US TV series 'Elementry'. Its there own take on our 'Sherlock', and while not nearly as good is still very splendid :-)



Now off for a walk before that rain cloud comes over.

~gill~

Probably too late now, but I just thought of...



I COULD WRITE A BOOK - HARRY CONNICK JR



Jennie Wren - Glad to hear you had good news from the hospital. :-)



I'm off to the doctors tomorrow to get a lump on my foot checked out. Never good when lumps appear anywhere. I'm sure it's nothing too serious, but better safe than sorry!



I've mowed the lawn, and put the shopping away, I think that's enough activity for now. I'm going to have a look at Parades End on iPlayer, I kept missing it on Friday nights (silly time slot IMO).

Ooh, some busy poppets today. I have just come back from the optician. Ouch! Unfortunately a necessary evil.



x

Blimey, Mr & Mrs returning. In my youth I recall it was made by two different west country ITV copanies, and Derek Batey did one series and a guy who wore a monacle did the alternating series. All very odd.

#4 so long as they don't regenerate the sweaty Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin '3-2-1' - what the heck was going on - I never knew!!



RE headphones our old photocopier has just gone (well, it was 5 years old so had done it's time...) and has been replaced by something taking up 1/2 the office, whirring constantly like a taxiing plane - and is apparently suitable for a professional print room. Horrendous. The order-ee is not sitting in this office, needless to say.

Music on headphones from now on then!



#31 Nice one!



Did anyone see 'her mother's son' (?) monday night, just working out the evening's entertainment.

Another one for a contestant stuck on a question:



PETER GABRIEL - I Don't Remember



And if some unsuspecting Mr gets something wrong about his missus:



COLDPLAY - Trouble



:op

Good afternoon, everyone!



Late again :(

Work is really getting out of hand ;)



Some fantastic suggestions for Mr & Mrs oldies. Not sure I can add any more to them.



I'll try to get back for a catch-up before going home time!

I've just been invited to complete a survey on this website and I had a liitle grump about the 3 minute rule-I wonder if anyone will listen?



JW

A bit late, but just thought of this song....



SHE WEARS MY RING ~ Solomon King

Listening to RadMac on 6 Music, much giggling from the boys, always a great 3 hours of radio.

On today's blog theme - an old work colleague of mine used to have the saying



Mistress - something between mister and mattress.



Amusing, although I wouldn't endorse the idea...

Brisk walk completed, and weather still dry (just about)

Ooo Im always getting a little window pop up re filling in a survey. Maybe I should do it too.



Hope your foot is nothing to worry about Zoe x

~gill~

Hello



Sorry for being on the missing list-been on hols and work is very busy.



Mr & Mrs Oldies:



MATRIMONY-Gilbert O'Sullivan

WHO ARE YOU-The Who

LESSONS IN LOVE-Level 42

MY GIRL-Madness



Off to read back,



Mrs B xx

BROWNIE POINTS FOR MRS BORIS



I have found the list of tunes played on the show:



Go to Episodes, click on the date, and up pops the list of music played!





***JBG-We could have had a mini blog meet as Mr Boris & me were at the athletics too on the 31st August. Shame I didn't get myself in gear :(

#53 I had a tweet read out on R6 RadMac yesterday! With my Sunday name...re John Grant's amazing 'bitter and twisted' love songs

https://youtu.be/hNfckqekxY4

Another vote for 'Let's Get Married' - The Proclaimers and 'Knowing Me Knowing You' - ABBA.

#57 - BROWNIE POINTS INDEED MRS BORIS! Who's a clever girl then?!



JW

#58 - oh how exciting Suziee; I just love their show.



#51 Jenny - Me 2 on the blog survey thingy. Said good things about the blog, moaned about the 3-minute rule, refreshing when there is more than one page and not always being able to post.

#61 #51

Have done the survey before - and will do again, the whole refresh page = going back to page 1 is so poor - not a difficult programme to write (according to Mr e my tame IT expert)



Good luck bloggers on tonight's show

My twitter feed is fully of sadness about the impending departure of Radio 4’s announcers Charlotte Green and Harriet Cass. Guardian article below that touches on why radio is special



https://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2012/sep/05/harriet-cass-charlotte-green-old-friends?INTCMP=SRCH

Ooh an early finish! What have I missed. Off to read back.

#31 LOL Molly. That was a good one!



#46 Mo, ouch indeed. I too have to make an appointment for an eye test and I know the outcome will be new specs again.



Zoe, I hope nothing too serious is up with your foot but glad you have had a nice day today.



Really good suggestions for the Mr and Mrs theme today. I too hope Dusty Bin and 321 doesn't find its way back to our screens. I love cryptic crosswords but that show was just ridiculous and no one could ever work out the answer.

#65 From what I remember Ted Rogers still looked confused and he was reading the answers. The most obscure clues ever. Except maybe for some of the pictures on Catchphrase...

Oh Well done Mrs Boris! ive been missing my list of songs played. (pesky re-gigging of wie site)

~gill~

#66 Oh yes, Sir Cumfy! I'd forgotten about Catchphrase! Another ridiculous show ;0)

Enjoy the show everyone! I'm taking advantage of an early finish to get the dogs walked and a trip to ELH.



Catch you later



Shona X

#69, Dont forget your clubcard Shona:-)

points mean prizez !

~gill~

#55 & #65 Gill & Shona - Thank you. :-)



Just turned the radio on for DT...

Nice mention for Happy Together Mrs DD!



And a 3-worder I think SirC.

I missed who had chosen the last song, but well done Deebee, for Happy Together, with her very best Sunday name! Deebee, when were you last called Deborah?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rQ3aNA3BRw

No mention Flo.



I know the answer to Homework Sucks for once!

And a couple of blog mosh mentions too, Sunday names & all.

It sounds like Katy had a mensh for the first mosh song and me for the second... and I didn't ask for the Iron Maiden song, but thanks Matt... and now our Zoe for the third mosh song!!! Another good night for bloggers!! :o))

Make that 3 lol, Zoe for that last one.

#72, yep a 3WW, and I heard Zoe's mosh mensh (monsh?) too!



Congrats all menshed bloggers!!

Also the Don Williams' song for Shona! Uncle Tony might be ignoring you these days, Shona, but not the lovely Simon! ;o)

Evening all. Heard a mensh for Ponyclubmum, Shona and a mosh-mensh for Zoe. Congrats all.



Busy day and I should really be going for a run.........however I think I'm going to run a bath and have an early night! Will try to catch up on blog events - I hope all's well.

*Donny Osmond on Front Row Radio 4 right now.*

Molly, you mentioned Radio 4... and we had radio 4 on at work yesterday and the distinctive sounding part-time Pauline was on at lunchtime!

Missed the show - did Simon really call me Deborah? That's what my Mum used to call me when I was in trouble... Sounds like it was a good night for the bloggers. Well done to all who got a mensh.



Trying to decide what to put on my banner for Sunday. "Bloggers Rule, OK" maybe? Any other (blog friendly) suggestions?



~X~

Congratualtions Mrs DD for your Sunday name menshe! What a great night on the show for bloggers. Well done for the mosh menshes too!



*twirls and beams* Thank you Simon for the Don Williams song ;) X



In-laws coming Friday for 2 nights so I have things to do.......



(or will I leave til tomorrow?)

Congrats to all blog mensches - I wish I understood the homework question and answer!



Have great evenings all



JW

Pardon my absence, I have a note. Firstly, congrats menshees, all. Secondly. I have a prezzy for you all. It may or may not be new to you, but I have previously construed to miss this lot, a situation I am rapidly correcting. All three tracks on this live appearance on Mark Rileys show of yester eve were rather fine, and I heartily commend them all to you, but, if you are pushed for time, skip to 10:46.



First Aid Kit. Simply stunning.



https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00y711b

k=c.

Firstly, well done to Deebee, ponyclubmum and Shona for the oldies menshes, and well done Sir Cumference for the 3 worder.



Secondly, how curious to get a mosh mensh! I did tweet Matt, probably a couple of months ago now, to request Epic by Faith No More, not From Out Of Nowhere, although I do like that one too. Oh well, nice to get a mensh, even under slightly false pretences, and I did enjoy the song so thanks Dr Mosh. :-)



Paul - Your absence was noted, hope all's well with you. I'll have a listen to First Aid Kit tomorrow, my mobile device isn't compatible with playing it now.



Goodnight one and all x

evening all



mr&mrs i remember that but thay have done remakes before, thay had julian clarey do a version and philip scofield 1st hosted it with fern britton before he went solo,i dont like all these gameshow remakes because its not fun with out the public playing thay now have z listers on playing 4 charities instead.family fortunes is another that got rid of the public 4 z listers who love themselfs.bring back the real people its what game shows are about.



gazza x

Paul - loved them on with Marc Riley. He is also great, I love that he plays stuff I don't hear anywhere else.



Gazza - completely agree, it is the often freaky weirdness of the public that makes such shows. See some of the blockbusters contestants as an example!



Watched Super 8 tonight. Excellent, old fashioned monster movie.



COME ON ANDY. It could be a long night ....

#90 its more fun with the public



i see joe south has died heres a video of his early work

https://youtu.be/orJzNJeF6bY

Morning All,



Quite bright start here



Enjoyed the show whilst in the car last night, often listening and driving is a good mix



Have a good day everybody, see you on the next blog

Good morning - the sun has got his hat on and it looks like it is going to be another beautiful day.



See you later when Lord Ammo has decreed the subject of the day.



JW

Morning blogpoppets.



PoS - thanks for that clip - I hadn't heard of them before but a very nice sound indeed. Helped ease me through the first 10mins of work this morning :)

#86 POS thanks for the link!

Heard them on Dermot's Saturday show (he's a pushover for anything Scandianvian) and heard they were playing small venues in London. Sold Out, needless to say.

Sunny but nippy here in Oxford - my usual cycling get-up of shorts and t shirt nearly gave me frostbite.

See y'all later on t'other page.

Probably.

A bit blowy here today and an autumnal nip in the air, but it's dry!



Good luck to Billie for her move.



Builders and building? Best get my thinking cap on... will the blog reach 100 before Simon appears?
