Morning all,



How about 'Walking back to Happiness' (whoopa-oh-yeah-yeah!) by Helen Shapiro



Splendid.

STAYING ALIVE - THE BEE GEES



This is not an easy theme today - too busy trying to relate it to the actual match yesterday.



JW

Back again...



So the question is even in the midst of an economic collapse why our we being anything but economic when it comes ter winning and WINNING BIG!!!!!!????



I think long and 'ard why are people from aged 16 ter 40 doing it BIG when it comes ter winning in their chosen sport that they are 'ighly talented at competeing in!!!!!!?????



A think locally of if I wanted ter take up each sport could I do it now.... And could I 'ave done it when I was a child!!!!!!????



Aged 39 and three quarters a was a child in the 70's and 80's!!!!



Tennis - Could I take up tennis???

When I was child it was more difficult... Only clubs locally geared more for the middle ter upper classes and outdoors!!!!!

We now 'ave The Wirral Tennis Centre... A mervelous marvel of indoors facilities that's perfect for playing in our 'arsh autumn and winter weather.... AND not expensive... So yes this would set a keen tennis playing child on a better chance of a path ter the BIG time!!!!!



Golf - We 'ad plenty of pitch 'n putt course for kids and adults!!!!!

INDEED aged 6 a gotta 'ole in one at New Brighton pitch 'n putt!!!!!

Many beautiful golf courses we 'ave... but again many for the more wealthy!!!!!

Although we do 'ave many municiple courses locally!!!!!

But the difference now from when a was a child... We 'ave driving ranges that we didn't 'ave!!!!

One VERY near ter where a grew up as a child!!!!!!

And slighlty further the excellent facilities a Carden Park And Ellesmer Port too... all giving a youngster a better chance of reaching the top!!!!!



Athletics - All we 'ad was an old outdoors gravel running track... Don't know too much about athletics but even so what springs ter mind is an new running track nearby for school children and the indoor running track at a gym a was a member of... Again better than when a was a child!!!!!!!



Cycling - The sport a did th emost as a child but not as a sport... More as a 'obby, ter get from A terrrrrrr B and ter keep fit!!!!!

We always 'ad the wonderful seaside paths on The Wirral but crazy weather at this time of year and through the winter!!!!!

But could a legally use the seaside paths on a cycle???

Now we 'ave designated cycle lanes everywhere.... INDEED as a child a used ter cycle along the sea path and used ter get miresable adutls daily blocking my path and making remarks about cycle should not be using the path!!!!!!

It was a grey area as the 'air usually was on the adults blocking my path on their path!!!!!!

Was the path just a path or could cycles use it?????

Cycles are not mean't ter be used on foot paths... but by the sea many cyclists would cycle along the coast... I remember the wonderful summers we 'ad!!!!



The difference now is the path along the coast now 'as signs stating it is shared for cycles and people on foot.... Silencing the miserys who used ter get pleasure from bullying me on me daily cycle ride!!!!!!!

And we 'ave cycle lanes all over the place!!!!!

But best of all.... The UK's first velodrome built 30 miles away in Manchester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Just looking inter the 4 sports above.... Yes facilities 'ave greatly improved.... Which make sme think are the fruits of these facilties now bearing fruit with all the sporting success the Uk is experiencing??????



Am sure the answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It doesn;t 'appen over night ter create champions.... But 10 plus years of 'aving these wonderful facilites.... All over the UK... Champions are now being produced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



When a finally manage ter 'ave kids of my own... A for one want ter very much encourage them ter get inter sport!!!!!!!

A went ter the Women's British golf open at 'oylake a few weeks ago... Watching the women play a was thinking 'ow proud a would be if my daughter was one of those competing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Maybe 'ave 'ad my chance gone by now... Ok for now am doing me cycling.... But if a don't get ter where a wanted ter be.....

Then a will put all me energy on 'elpin gme kids ter do what the wanter do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Something that for sure will be easier for me ter do than it was for my parents do ter with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A think this is just the beginning of Great Britain getting it's greatness back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blues Run The Game - Simon & Garfunkel



Pink Floyd - Come Back To Life



Never Give Up - Ron Sexsmith

PS For tunes for the show later 'ow about:



Silversun Pickups - Comeback Kid????



Or



The Doors - Rider On Thre Storm????? (get it Ryder Cup???? Rider??? Storm/ Making a storm????)



Both most nice!!!!!

I hope you are right, Bingo. It would be wonderful if the children/teenagers have better access to training/sporting facilities, certainly than I did.



We had a freezing cold, tatty public swimming baths, a pitch and putt course at the local park, cracked ashphelt (sp?) tennis courts and that was about that.



JW

'asphalt' - please correct at your leisure.



JW

Good morning all



Comeback tunes?



What about Mohamed Ali's comeback to win the world heavyweight title against George Foreman in the 'Rumble in the Jungle'



IN ZAIRE - JOHNNY WAKELIN

Good Morning Each! And thanks to Simon and the team for choosing my ARF. The crown is a little tight, I can't imagine why. ;0)



Choons...



'Lazarus' by Porcupine Tree



'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba



'Get Back' by The Beatles



'The Wobble' by Big Town Playboys



'Sing, Fat Lady, Sing' by Carter USM



'The Party Aint Over Yet' by Status Quo

More...



'The Sweet Escape' by Gwen Stefani and Akon



'Surprise, Surprise' by Bruce Springsteen

MY SHIP IS COMING IN - WALKER BROTHERS

I do feel a bit sorry (but only a bit) for the sports haters as this summer of sport has been neverending. But neverending in a munificent way. Someone posted late last night on Twitter; 'My Twitter timeline is full of people I'd least expect tweeting about a sport they know nothing about - its like the Olympics never stopped!'



In terms of comebacks and reversals of fortune I suggest:



UNBELIEVABLE - EMF



as it's golf: EAGLE - Abba (but not The Birdie Song...)



DON'T GIVE UP -Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush

"Moment of Surrender" U2. You know it makes sense.



Nice weekend in London by the way, now back to the "grindstone".



GB

Afternoon all



Manhattan doesn't have much luck does it - previously taken by Daleks and now taken by Weeping Angels as well.



Golf last night was fantastic - people have already said it's similar in status to Headingly during Botham's Ashes and it certainly felt as monumental as that.



Completely blank on suitable songs at the moment so will have to pass.

hi all



BACK IN BLACK-AC/DC



ON THE ROAD AGAIN-WILLIE NELSON



COUNTRY ROADS-JOHN DENVER

Afternoon all.



A magnificant triumph for Europe yesterday. As I mentioned over the page, I stayed up to listen to it last night - I'm exhausted, but it was thrilling!



My oldie selections:

Here You Come Again - Dolly Parton

Against All Odds - Phil Collins

The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan

Everything Changes - Take That

Everybody's Changing - Keane

Better Luck - Scissor Sisters

Getting Better - The Beatles

The Best is Yet to Come - Frank Sinatra

Bingo, you are spot on with regard to the fantastic sports facilities around now. Suspect you and I may be slightly long in the tooth to become olympic level athletes. Having enjoyed the summer of sport, cherub has decided she wants to compete on the equestrian team. Yes , only my child could choose the most expensive sport. Now cherub are you sure you wouldent be happier just running round in circles??

~gill~

Billie, saw you I am the Beat message. Is that what you were referring to? Or is it a different Jeffrey?!

A bit late with this one as we've had a power cut for what seems like ages....



BACK IT UP ~ Cara Emerald

Good afternoon, everyone!



Quick poop in to say hello to you all and to suggest



RUBBER BALL - BOBBY VEE



for today’s oldies theme.



Really must dash back to work (via the coffee machine)...



--

cBzz

Just another quick poop by to wish all sniffly bloggers a speedy recovery.



Out in the field this afternoon with a late finish;( I just love Mondays!

Now if I had a cosy hat for #50, I would give it to sniffly bloggers.............

Afternoon,



Not really 'comeback' related, but the name of the golf course reminded me of



FUNKY COLD MEDINA - Tone-Loc



Should have suggested it last week when it was Ryder Cup.

I have reclaimed my laundry basket from a heap of ironing, with the added benefit of a choice of clothes to wear!



Still raining..........



JW

Jennie Wren - Yes a agree... Our swimming pools were noot the best and our cracked up old running track that if yer slipped over on the pot 'oles and slippery gravel yerd end up with yer knees looking more battered than Nick Gleggs' presently with the down on 'is knees gravelling, sorry grovelling, for 'is lies!!!!!!!



Gill - withagee - A agree with you Gill.... Looking on the brightside... At least motorsport isn't the chosen sport yer youngin!!!!!!!

Now that is expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for athletics.... Not those top of the range super shock absorbing super cushioned super grip... super dooper super doopers running trainers ain't cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Especially if it's gotta BIG tck on the side... Add double more for a tick logo!!!!!!!



No wonder Jess Ennis is wearing such skimpy attire.... She's blown all of 'er budget on the trainers!!!!!!



Know what am sayin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1



PS Am sure Phil Collins - Against All Odds will be a chosen one by the chosen for the show later!!!!!!!

Odds on if yer ask me!!!!!!!

Hi All,



Get Back - Beatles I know it's late but what the heck!



Wow, what a wonderful golf weekend that was. I was hanging on to each day of it and an unusually glued to the box weekend. Quite a tribute to Seve Ballesteros.



Amelia, Oh dear, your DH counterpart ended up in a Brooklyn cemetery -- Ekk!

LB, x

Afternoon All



Last post at 15.40? Where are you all?



Heard my mensh - Thankyou Simon - and Amelia's for Lenny Kravitz and a muggle for Chris Rea.



Won't take me long to read back ..................

Welldone Mandy for Faith and I meant Welldone Amelia #56 !



I didn't catch what Simon said for Phil Collins. Doh!







#47 Jeffrey - Yes you and yes the post about "I Am The Beat" but also post #98 on yesterday's blog.

Jeffery, have you herd when your Mastermind episode will be on yet (or have I missed it?)

~gill~

Flying visit - mainly to say well done to Paul of Sheffield for his Bluesy Showstopper - perhaps a badge to commemorate since your head is rather occupied at the moment?



Well done to for all the mentions - ta for mine - I think I just heard the ones Billie mentioned - regular blogger Mandy indeed! Not sure if there was one for Phil Collins Billie.



Lilac Blue - indeed - very sorry to see the demise of the Ponds, they were great characters. The episode was ok but I wasn't blown away and I think they deserved a better ending. I will go on more tomorrow when I should have more time.



I loved the Anthony Horowitz interview; great enthusiasm and passion. His books are on my huge pile of "books I want to read". Problem is the pile gets bigger no matter how much I do read, made worse by the kindle as they don't take up shelf space, although I probably have read twice as much since I have had it, snatched 20 minutes at lunchtimes and the like.

I heard a few mentions tonight - congratulations to all.



Paul is definately in favour this week!



Have great evenings all and see you tomorrow (after the weigh-in - eek!)



JW

Well done for all the menshes tonight and Paul, you are on a roll just now!!!



#60 Good luck with the weigh in Jennie ;)

Well, that was nice. Total mensh drought for months, and then, all of a sudden they're like buses. A fine weekend, (Forest 0, Derby 1... are you lurking, trickster?), rather pleasantly bookended. Thanks, Simon. And congratulations menshees, all.

Good Morning Everyone



An early start in this household today as Mr W left at 5am to head to Birmingham and it's still pitch black here.



Amelia and Lilac Blue, am I right in assuming the Ponds of which you speak are from Dr Who? Oh please don't tell anymore as I am watching Saturday's episode tonight.



Time to rouse the pups for walkies. See you over the page after a 1-2-1 with lovely boss so I may be late to the party.

Good Morning All



Gorgeous pink sky this morning as I was walking the dogpoppet. Needless to say I didn't have my camera with me. I should be like Florence and take it wherever I go, just in case...



Well done for the menshes last night, especially Paul's showstopper. I wasn't familiar with the song, but an excellent choice! Really enjoyed the interview with Anthony Horowitz - what a talented and prolific writer! How can somebody possibly have a whole trilogy in his head, waiting to be written down! And such a nice man too. I imagine Simon was quite flattered that he'd read 'Itch'... And I had to smile at the slightly awkward pause when AH asked Simon if his wife had read '50 Shades'.. ;o)



Did anyone see 'The History of Light Entertainment' on BBC 4 on Sunday evening? Mr B tells me our esteemed leader was on, talking about his days on Radio 1. I'm going to have a look for it on iThingy later.



See you on the next page...
