Good Morning All;



I did say to Deebee and Amelia that BBC Radio Sheffield was only around the corner from the Crucible, but being unfamiliar with our part of the world, I don't suppose Simon knew that. Ah well, it was still a great afternoon and spent in good company. Thanks for the blog mensh, Simon. :-)

Morning all !

OK so last night I drempt we (bloggers) were all taking the calls for ARF. We all had campbeds (clearly we were on a residential), and Simon gave us all a hearty 'Cheerio' as he left. Whats THAT all about?



PICK UP THE PEICES - AWB

LITTLE GREEN BAG - GEORGE BAKER SELECT



Can you see a theme developing?

~gill~

And just another....



IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY - Sheryl Crow

One last suggestion...



SUBURBIA - THE PET SHOP BOYS

Good morning everyone, I'm back - what? You didn't realise I was gone? Ho hum. Wish I wasn't. Had a fantastic week in my spiritual home - the Northumberland coast. It was bright and sunny and gorgeous and only rained once, and that was overnight so didn't matter. Lots of birds watched, lots of walks walked, lots of beaches combed and lots of chilling done. The dogs, and the kids, loved their 6+ hour long walks on the beaches and the dunes - sheer perfection.......



Anyway, back to earth with a huge bump and the stress of 'normal' life again (been back less than 2 whole days and have knots in my shoulders already) in the wet and cold of the Scottish Borders. Kids are back at school. Dogs have been out for their much shorter than 6 hour walk this morning in the mud which has expanded while I've been away so I'd like to suggest



THE HIPPOPOTAMUS SONG - Flanders and Swann (mud, mud, glorious mud)



My dog walks for the past couple of years, summer and winter alike, have been muddy. It just never dries out completely - not like the long stretches of sand on the Northumberland coast.... sorry, distracted.



Would also like to second some of the suggestions already made if that's ok?



HAND IN GLOVE - The Smiths (needed gloves this morning and there are glove shaped poo bags available, sorry, too much info)



DOG EAT DOG - Adam & the Ants



HOUNDS OF LOVE - Kate Bush



Well, must dash - yes, already, doesn't take long for the chaos to restart, does it? Might see if I can poop back later.



Have fun and play nicely.



SE x

Good morning Simon, team and lovely blogsters,



Hope all is well on this rather dull Monday morning.



I should be a bit of an expert with this theme as it is something I do on a daily basis, come rain or shine - although it does seem to be more of the former lately, with the exception of this weekend which delivered some glorious Autumnal sunshine, beautiful walking weather indeed.



Just a few suggestions from me:



JUST WALKING IN THE RAIN - JOHNNY RAY



WALK OF LIFE - DIRE STRAITS



YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE - GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS



COME RUNNING - VAN MORRISON



Have a good day all.



Jx

Oooh, quick, I Am The Beat - The Look, on Ken's show now!

Morning all



Hmmm, dog walking. As far as my rambunctious husky is concerned it would have to be:



'Runaway' - Del Shannon



An hour and a half it took me to get her back after pegging it out of the park last week!



For the more obedient pooch though:



'Run To You' - Bryan Adams

'I Will Follow' - U2

'I'm Walking' - Fats Domino

'The Wild Rover' - The Dubiners

'Right By Your Side' - The Eurythmics



Happy Mondays :-)



N xx

Good morning everyone



As a lifelong owner of Basset Hounds, what a great theme to start off the week with!

Couple more:



'Better Together' - Jack Johnson

'Baby Come Back' - The Equals

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



How lovely to get a mention in dispatches - thank you, Simon! I think the confusion might have been because Paul posted that he could see us on the webcam, but I think he was watching on his computer, not there at the Crucible.



Still a bit bunged up but my cold is much better, although I do sound like a 60 a day addict... My brain seems to have turned to mush as well - you'd think as a dog owner/walker I'd be able to come up with at least a few gems but all I can offer for today's oldies (and a possible HOIB) is:



THE PUPPY SONG - David Cassidy



Welcome back Erica! Glad to hear you had a good time in Northumberland. It's a part of the country I've never visited, but always wanted to.



~X~

HAPPY TOGETHER - THE TURTLES



STAY - FOUR SEASONS or MAURICE WILLIAM AND THE ZODIACS

"When my Ulysses comes home, wag-wag, WOOF! WOOF!, his tail in the air...

Morning All,

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN - Get Down



STATUS QUO - Roll Over, Lay Down



MADNESS - Lovestruck ("I've fallen for a lamppost")

#12 - Hey Mandy. Thanks for the Lumineers rec. Like to listen while I work and they just hit the spot. Remind me a little of the Kings of Leon.



A>

Good morning (just),



Only a flying visit.



Congrats to all Bloggers concerned on their blog mensh.



Erica, Lovely to see you.x



Deebee, Get well soon my lovely.x



As for choons. Hmmmm.... Well one thing I always think about owning a dog is that no matter how you might feel you have to walk them in all weathers so my very tenuous suggestion is:



BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE by I think I'll plump for Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews.



Not a hope if hell of it being played but at least I had a go!



Have a good day.x

Probably best that a cat doesn't get involved in dog related matters. We wouldn't want this quality dialogue to degenerate into some kind of Tom & Jerry / Itchy & Scratchy free for all, would we ?



Did anyone else see Felix (another cat link ?) free falling last night. He landed safely on his feet - must be a cat !

Hello. Quick poop by to congratulate Deebee (hope you feel better soon), Zoe, Mr Zoe and Amelia for their mention in despatches. Yippee!



Thanks for the heads-up on the dog programme, will watch it, I think. Just back from walking with my own dogs. Einstein disappeared AGAIN, so my oldie suggestion would be:



DISAPPEAR - MADNESS



Have good days all x



Ps. Hello Erica and Julia!

#40 - you could have gone for



EINSTEIN A GO-GO - LANDSCAPE

Good Afternoon Each!



Now I have guilt (as our transatlantic cousins would say). I wasn't there, and have been mentioned in dispatches inaccurately, and undeservedly. I feel I've let the side down, and should have tried harder. (Where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, Mr Eckersley, my old gym teacher, when I scored twice in a match, but then missed a penalty for my hat trick)



I listened in, though, and watched what I could online. T'were most interesting.



Anyroad up, choons....



'Scratch 'n' Sniff' by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble



'I Wanna Be Your Dog' by The Stooges



'Chain Gang' by Sam Cooke



'Telegraph Road' by Dire Straits

Quick coffeetime visit, and it's nice to see Erica and Jilly back in the fold.



ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY? - Lenny Kravitz



WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY LOVELY? - Peter Sarstedt



DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO? (THEME FROM MAHOGANY) - Diana Ross



GO WHERE YOU WANNA GO - Mamas & Papas



and what about



DO THE DOG - The Specials

hi all



GET DOWN-GILBERT OSULIVAN(your a bad dog)

I've just seen that the dog walking programme is not on until 11.30pm tonight so I think that will be one for the recording button.



Still counting buses..............................

A couple more.....



SIT DOWN ~ James



STAY ~ The Hollies

Afternoon all



Very late so I'll just second, third, whatever it is for the following which presumably will already have been selected:



Walking The Dog - The Rolling Stones

#45 - Shona, I may have missed it...but why are you counting buses?



:-)



A.

Feeling badly let down by whoever does the Strictly partnerships. Aliona gone before she's started. What a disaster - I demand resignations :-)

Oooh Oooh I've just had a thought - a late one admittedly



GO NOW - THE MOODY BLUES which is the main reason the dogs are being walked, in my experience



JW

I WANNA BE YOUR DOG by THE STOOGES

CAN YOUR PUSSY DO THE DOG by THE CRAMPS

ATOMIC DOG by GEORGE CLINTON

DOGGIN' AROUND by JACKIE WILSON

WILD ROVER by THE DUBLINERS

Aaah, a nice pint of Sandcastles at Dawn or Red Herring and locally produced cheese, chutney and stottie ploughmans or kipper pate or crab overlooking the beach .... is what I'd rather be having but I'll make do with a processed chicken roll and a bag of cheese and onion followed by an instant coffee on the hoof with a quick poop by to see if there's anything going on.



Thanks for the 'welcome backs' (that doesn't sound right).



#45 Shona, I'm also intrigued by the counting buses thing?!



#32 Deebee, sorry to hear you're bunged up but glad to see you seem to be over the worse and are now on the mend. Get yourself off to the Northumberland coast, I can't recommend it highly enough and know once you've been you'll want to return over and over again. I've been going for about 25 years and have seen a lot of changes and huge gain in popularity but it is still such a special place. In fact, Mr and me camped in the dunes on millenium eve - yes 31st December 1999 on the North Sea coast - with our champagne and fireworks to mark the occasion. We drove up from Sheffield (which is where we were living at the time) after work, arrived at about 10.30pm with tent, dog, fireworks, 2 bottles of champagne, inadequate (it turned out) sleeping bags and a wind up torch, walked through the dunes in the pitch black for about 45 minutes to a spot in the middle of nowhere, yards from the sea but slightly sheltered over the dunes, and just got pitched in time for midnight to see the new millenium in. It was certainly memorable and very special and something to tell the kids about - they think we were mad - and blooming cold!



Oh look at me going off on one again, must get on.



Laters maybe.



SE x

HOLD ON TIGHT - ELO



or



I'LL KEEP HOLDING ON - The Marvelettes



or



HOLDING ON - Ren Harvieu

OK so Kings of Leon is a bit off the mark (more like Mumford and Sons) but really, if anyone wants summat to listen to, I can't recommend Mandy's suggestion of The Lumineers enough. Currently on my second listening of the album (on y**tube). Not due out here til next month. Not that good at waiting.



A.

Should have been 'welcomes back' I think.... these things prey on ones mind

Afternoon all



Got back from a week in sunny Portugal, the Algarve was very hot, but we didn't get home till 2.30am, so struggling a little as back at work :(



Glad to hear about the 1st Sheffield blog meet and just a reminder that we are also meeting in Sheffield this Saturday at The Showroom, all welcome.



Cheers



A

Just had a flash of inspiration and can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.



WHIP IT - Devo



How, being the proud/mad owner of two whippets, could I have forgotten that one? And now it's probably far too late.

Afternoon all! Was in Sheffield on Saturday, thought the city centre looked a little worse for wear! (Only joking!)



Some U2 tunes come to mind today, how about "Walk On" or "Walk to the Water" or "A Sort of Homecoming" if you want to go off at a tangent?



GB

FIDO - The Byrds





#notgotachanceofbeingplayed

Arg

Wish there was a reminder as you are about to accidentally close the blog page that you have a long post waiting to be uploaded....fnah fnah

SO here I am again,

LOVING the

Donny Osmond PUPPY LOVE; Gilbert O's GET DOWN (Shep!) memories of John Noakes..



Lovely mench for the Sheffield Crew from the blog - shame that Deebee lost some precious weekend to a cold - maybe that famous 'pollution hayfever' that our leader once got when travelling by train, or just that special 'Donaster' disaaaster.



For those of us that live en route to a park:



BAG IT UP by Oasis springs to mind, for the owners.



Yes they (dogs) have, and yes, I have.. . .eeeugh



#52 hope your dog had earplugs!! Sounds amazing tho.

We went to a big dinner party at a friends on a hill last NY and I got locked out!!

LONG story..bloomin cold I can tell you



Laters all, hope you had lovely weekends

210, 211, 212, 213..............................



I am counting buses and timing them today to complain about the number of buses that journey up my street to turn at a turning point by a bit of waste ground picking no one up and dropping no one off.



My neighbour counted 392 journeys one day. However, my counting is 24 journeys per hour times 17 hours per day = 408 fruitless journeys. So far today, I have seen 2 people get off and 2 people get on. It is ridiculous!



*steps down off soap box*

Hi everyone



Tis I, long lost blogger Deevs, 'er from over t'fence of CLP-dom (although he seems to have abandoned us of late ..... sob, sob, sob).



I'm just nipping in to say I have a couple of spare places for phone duty on CiN day - I've put something on the Blogpoppets FB page so please see it and let me know if you're interested.



It'll be first come, first served I'm afraid.



Muchos amore,



Deevs

x

Ooo this has made my day

Jo Brand and Julian Clarey are 'doing' the Steve Wright show today - and making me giggle thru my headphones..

Going to be a nice walk home with them in my ears!!

# 60 - Suzieeee- thanks - its been a long time since I heard 'fnah fnah!'



#62 - Deevs - hello - I seem to remember Sir Cumference was interested in helping out on CIN day - shame he isn't here to see your post today.

#62,64 = Deevs - Indeed I would be interested but I can't put my name down on FB as I don't have access from work (plus I don't know where the blogpoppets FB page is)...

#61



Shona,



I strongly suspect that asking a bus driver shall reveal the turning point by the bit of waste ground in your street to be the easiest, not to mention safest, place to turn such a long vehicle.



P.S. Two On, Two Off sounds like Highland dancing to this weedgie, who is more accustomed to "C'moan, get aff!"



>8-D





patronising git, keeping it Country onRadio Nan Gàidheal.

Sir Cumference - google my business - my email is on my web page. It's 3 words, and ends in "Business Solutions". The first word is a form of Bhuddism that beings with T and has an A and an O after it .......!



I'll need real names and contact details, mind!



x

Good luck everyone with the menshes tonight.



Roast chicken tonight - yum!



JW

Yum indeed Jennie.



Same here too, second night in a row, different veg from last night, but Roast Chicken all the same.



Those spoonbills, they're very elusive, mind you the harbour is so full of life, that it didn't really matter. Lunch out on a bench, sun shining....



Happy Days :)

#67 Will do :o)



Are you suggesting that you don't think I'm really a Knight of the Realm? lol

Time for home, I think. For the benefit of Scotch Git (and probably Shona and any other friends north of the border)...



OIDHICHE MHATH !

Just back from dog walk with 3-word Mon that also fits today's theme...



'BASSET HOUNDS PADDLING'



https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8186/8090701691_3daf19f5b3_b.jpg

Quiet here today...



Thanks for the cold well-wishes. Feeling lots better now. I think an early night with a mug of that blackcurrant flavoured cold remedy with a slug of brandy in it should do me.



;o)



Lovely to see Deevs popping by. Don't leave it so long next time... Sterling effort organising the volunteers for CiN - well done you!



Good blog menshes for Vildeen and Stressed Erica. And I believe Hoffs had a 3 worder read out.



~X~

#70 - would I be so bold, Sir ...!?!?



Thanks Deebs. It's nice to do something good once in a while.



Roll on 16th November.



x

Well done for all the menshes tonight. I heard Ameila, John? Vildeen, Stressed Erica.



Parsley Cat, I didn't understand Oidhiche mhath........but I wonder if I can use it in Scrabble?



*Smacks back of Scotchgit's legs* The buses leave a main road and travel up my road of 200 metres to turn at a circle and go back to the main road heading in the direction they were going in the first place. It's madness - madness I tell you.

Well done for all the mentions



Mandy for Me and a Dog Named Boo



Ken (not John, Shona) for Walking the Dog (& me, slightly erroneously as I went for the Rolling Stones version)



Vildeen I loved your Franz suggestion - Take me Out - great song



Stressed Erica for Hand in Glove



And a OSM for Sir C for Roll Over, Lay Down (great choice)



My one and only published picture is from a Franz Ferdinand gig https://www.flickr.com/photos/88293594@N06/8069000723/



Flo - if you dont mind - how can I just post individual photos as you do, rather than effectively linking to a flickr account as I am here?

#75



Ooh, that smarts!





I bet the folk getting on and off the buses don't think it's mad...





(_8(|)

#76 Amelia, that's a really good picture!



To post a single picture, right click the FF one and you'll see a variety of sizes....



Click the pic size you want to post, then right click it and you'll see 'properties'



Highlight and copy the 'URL address' and paste it where you want your picture.

Had to come back to apologise to JBG for stealing his thunder. My mensh should really have been his because I only seconded his suggestion.



Sorry JBG

Evening all



Missed the show tonight, but seems like it was a decent night for the blog.



#79 Erica - no thunder stolen! Really. The wonderful wonderful thing about the blog is that it's not life-threatening in any way, and the people are so lovely. I don't think I've ever seen anyone getting their knickers in a twist for having songs "stolen" from them.

Thank you Flo, both for the comment and the help. I always love looking at your photos.



#80 JBG - but it is definitely life enhancing

Well done menshees - not many credits tonight but those that were mentionned were mostly bloggers - hooray!



I claim an OSM for "You and me and a dog name Boo" - at least I was on the right track!



We had a visit from Mr Fox tonight - while I was cooking the dinner, Mr said we had a visitor at the back door. When I looked to see who it was, there was a very handsome fox, staring through the glass to see what was going on indoors. Perhaps he could smell the chicken......



He'll have to wait til tomorrow for the scraps which will disappear at a rate of knots, I'm sure!



Late on parade tomorrow - the scales call for the weekly moment of torture ;0) and then I'm off to the dentist in the afternoon for more torture - physical and monetary!

I'll try and pop in, inbetween, to see what the theme for choon-chasing is.



Enjoy the rest of your evening one and all



JW

Another fly-by - choir practice night so will listen to the show tomorrow morning. Congrats to menshees!



Just thought, that if you enjoyed Mr Baumgartner's jump last night and if you like Lego (other plastic building/creating systems available etc) you might like to see this....



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFU774q6eVM



Bye x

Good luck tomorrow Jennie and take care x



Also, forgot to say thank you to the Drivetime crew for my 3 worder today.

I've lost track. What's all this about roast spoonbill for tea?

.....you didn't let me down Paul ;)

hi all
