Back later after a thunk



Mandy

Hello Shona - rubbish weather here so I'm stuck indoors (Phil) instead of working in the garden. Usually we're out at this time :)

Morning all



NORWEGIAN WOOD - The Beatles



I watched the Vikings programmes, and Neil Oliver spent a lot of time in woods.



Simon, I did wonder whether it was hearing Mike Smith that caused your confusion last night!



T x

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



I was all poised to post 10 minutes ago, but got interrupted. So everyone else has probably already chosen my suggestions, but I'm going to go for it anyway... ;o)



IMMIGRANTS SONG - Led Zeppelin



WAR - Bob Marley



WAR BABY - Tom Robinson



NORWEGIAN WOOD - Beatles



Florence, how was Deacon Blue? And is it you who's met the lovely Neil Oliver?



~X~

#13 Beautiful weather here but FREEZING ;)

Now those days are gone - Bucks Fizz.



(smooths hair down in anticipation.)

#3 Shona, will you stop throwing stones at Neil Oliver's house. You can get into trouble for that sort of thing...



;o)

I'm willing to bet the house that Norwegian Wood gets airplay tonight - after that there's a lot of barrel-scraping going on :)

Splish splash sort of a day here, but improving throughout the day and the temperature is 12c and climbing.

Morning All,



Marvellous day it is too.



Missed my mensh yesterday. Typical, eh? Don't have a mensh in ages and I am busy elsewhere. Mister came in and told me that I'd been on.



Tricksy theme again. May need sustanance and caffeine to help.



Laters



A.

#3 lucky you!

I worry about Celts with long hair...but his looks so clean and scrummy!

He and Paul Hollywood (GBBO) are my TV heartthrobs.

2/3/4 NORWEGIAN WOOD by the Beatles, plus of course the signature tune from

NOGGIN THE NOG

or is that on one of those BBC 'lost' tapes *sob*

back later, hornéd thinking cap on (at a jaunty angle, natch)



mwah

When it comes to scraping barrels, I'd like to put myself up there with the best of them Phil ;)

Sadly, the lovely ex-Viking Mo is too busy to join in this morning - I'm sure she would have had it sewn up, with her insider knowledge...



~X~

Hmm too early for a HOIB?



SAILING by Rodders Stewart (they did an awful lot of that)



more mead and dried reindeer required to get in the mode...

Good Morning All;



It's a chilly, but sunny one today, thermals out of mothballs, methinks! :D



Oldie suggestions...



SAILING ON THE SEVEN SEAS - O.M.D



RIDERS ON THE STORM - THE DOORS



HAMMER TO FALL - QUEEN

#23 Not the easiest of themes, is it, Sal?



What about "When the Boat Comes In?" LOL :D

Lovely Spam, wonderful Spam... couldn't really let that go !

Songs based on their ability to invade Britain



Bad - Michael Jackson

Beat Surrender - Jam

Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil

Poison Arrow - ABC

Rowboat - Johnny Cash

Sacrifice - Elton John

Swords of a thousand men - Tenpole Tudor

Them Heavy People - Kate Bush

View to a Kill - Duran Duran

Take back the city - Snow Patrol

I predict a riot - Kaiser Chiefs

Two tribes - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

My song choices are simply based on what I learned on Horrible Histories - Not a period in History that I know much about.

18/ Love the stone throwing joke

I know it is Led Zeppelin above. I originally typed Warren Buffet not Jimmy - not sure I am safe to be let out today.





STRANGE BOAT - The Waterboys



TALL SHIPS - Big Country



SHIPBUILDING - Elvis Costello



SON OF A SON OF A SAILOR - Jimmy Buffett

Morning all.



I've also watched most of the Viking programmes and they've been generally good - although I'm not a huge fan of the bits of him making Viking tea or whatever.....



Oldies - very tough and I'll add my vote for Led Zep & The Beatles. A few other tenuous links:

Highway to Hell - ACDC (Hel was the daughter of Loki and presided over the dead)

Wednesday Morning, 3am - Simon & Garfunkel (from Odin's Day)

Thursday's Child - Eartha Kitt / David Bowie (from Thor's Day)

If I Had a Hammer - Simon & Garfunkel (Thor's hammer)

#18 LOL ;)



I was scraping the barrel from the word go too Sal and Phil. Couldn't even get an ABBA song to fit the bill.

I expect anything by the SWEEDISH HOUSE MAFIA should cover it ;-) *

(* I descovered the name of this band at weekend and giggle everytime I think about it. Conjers up images of balaclava clad thugs in Ikea to me ~ or is that just me?)

~gill~

How about a bit of "Shipbuilding"?



Well it was the Vikings that arrived on boats wasn't it?



GB

Morning all



Late again, and not much time for bloggery today



Some great ideas above (well, a few). And I love Florence's Cat Stevens suggestion at #5.



#vikingoldies



SMASH IT UP - The Damned



(Although I learnt from Mr Oliver's programme that they weren't as busy a-raping and a-pillaging as we tend to think)

Morning All,



'Run To The Hills' Iron Maiden



Have a good day everybody

#34 Gill-withagee. It's just you.





















:)

Oh go on then, just one more





IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT - Manic Street Preachers

I think the HOIB may be heading my way for this suggestion...



HORNY - MOUSSE T.



Not that Vikings did have horned helmets, but everyone pictures them that way.

Tenuous but...200 years of vikings? That's...



Everlong - Foo Fighters



A.

#31 I think we all suffer from what we can henceforth call 'Mayo-isms' when writing/talking/thinking....maybe there's something in the tea?

Choon for the oppressed the Vikings invaded (nicely, as Mr O would have us believe!)



DON'T GIVE UP by Peter Gabriel



SOUTHERN CROSS by Crosby Stills and Nash - they must have used the stars to navigate by?



BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN by Rodney Stewart (if the stereotype of Vikings being tall, blonde and god-like is true

*goes off for a cold shower*



Personally, if faced with a tall blonde Viking I would be in a pathetic *swoon*

I dispute you claim Mr Johann, it CANT be just me.

Simon if its any consolation, I often suffer from 'timeslip' when at work, bidding folk a hearty 'Good Morning' when its hometime (doh!).

~gill~

Hello again



Damn! internet threw me off while I was in mid stream.



1. NORWEGIAN WOOD - Beatles

2. VIEW TO A KILL - Duran Duran

8. Tide is high - BLONDIE

9. TALL TREES - Crowded House

Have a nice day



Mandy ;)

Can I add support for Highway to Hell and Swords of a Thousand Men ?



And a reliable selection for all miscreants and ne'er-do-wells - Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves - Cher.



I know the Vikings have had a bad press (PR obvioulsy wasn't a strong point with them), but this is still the popular image we have (along with horned or winged helmets).

Just thought of another one:



NORTHERN LIGHTS - Renaissance



#26 Zoe, love your OMD suggestion. I'm now going "diddle dee diddle de dum - dum dum dee dum..."



~X~

Good morning all



SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY(watching the tide roll........)

King Canute is supposed to have sat on the shore watching the tide

Ooh what about;



BEHIND BLUE EYES - THE WHO



On the assumption that all Vikings had blue eyes...............

#42 Suzy - thanks, I have many such moments every day





NORTHERN SKY - Nick Drake

If the Vikings did reach the America's or Middle East



COMING TO AMERICA - NEIL DIAMOND



ROCK THE CASBAH - THE CLASH

Any opportunity, to drop a Leonard Cohen song in, even if its a bit off the mark...



First we take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen.



Off to do a bit more scraping ;)

Hmm,

SEVEN SEAS OF RHYE by Queen

or

LINDISFARNE (scene of a pivotal Viking battle) and 'RUN FOR HOME' (what the local Celts had to do!)

Seth lakeman

The hurlers

Crimson dawn

Feather in a storm

A poor mans heaven

They seem to depict tribal mentality and territorial struggle

More barrel scraping



RUN - SNOW PATROL

Good morning Each!



On occasion, I like to suggest a Half Man Half Biscuit song that fits the theme, and is radio friendly. Today, I have failed in one of those elements.



So, most inappropriately...



'Stavanger Töestub' by Half Man Half Biscuit



Gotta go. They won't let me out for long.

Sneaking back, having raided the old Peel sessions locker...



'Date w/IKEA' by Pavement

#55 do they let you have sharpened pencils in there?

Alwight Mayo Man & ALL...



Bingo Star 'ere...



Mayo Man - The fact that yer were taking the time out ter blog even though yer were in yer PJ's shows that you yersen are 'responsible and mature!!!!!!'



A meself am still suffering with me ligament injury but the good news is suddenly am seeing a VAST imporvementation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The doc said these things can take 4 ter 6 weeks ter 'eal up and a might need that much time off work!!!!!!!

Something a could noot stomach at the time of being told by the doc.... A was 'opeful 3 days off work max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now am in me second week.... And 7th sick dee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily in my job a work 4 days per week with the option of 2 extra overtime days if a want!!!!!!

Of which a normally do!!!!!!!!!

A do think maybe ave run me body and mind inter the ground!!!!!!!

Am fully renovating me whole 'ouse, working 5 ter 6 shifts as a trucker delivering to a VERY BIG well known supermarket..... AND cycling 120kms per week ready for Rio 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

A know me body and 'ave been 'ere before!!!!!!!

Near exhaustion.... but gotta keep going.... Keep going until me weakest link pops and am suffering an Anne Robinson on me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me back being me weakest link that is first ter go when a over do it!!!!!!!!!



The good news is after Sundee and Mondee doing me 20km cycle on The Wirral by the seaside suddenly me back is getting better VERY fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A think it is no coincidence that the cycling losening up me Anne Robinson and the fresh pure sea air really is like a form of miracle 'ealing for both the mind and body!!!!!!!

Coupled with me being nearly as strong and powerful mentally and physically as a top Olympic athlete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It make sme realise 'ow lucky and 'appy and relieved a am that me mother now in 'er late 60's and suffering with 'er CYPD lung problem that living only a mile from the sea is adding maybe as much as 20 years to 'er life!!!!!!!

Sometimes it's easy ter foget 'ow great life is and 'ow lucky we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If me mother lived in London or Birmingham with the polutted air maybe she would 'ave got 'er illness at a younger age and not be around now!!!!!!!!!

For the Up Helly Aa still going on in Shetlands every year (in a nod to their Viking ancestors(

Madness: BURNING THE BOATS

And of course just for the Umlaut beloved of all places Scandinavian



Blue Öyster Cult and "Burnin' for You"

#58 Oh Bingo, I do have a rather amusing image of Anne Robinson on your back as you are cycling ;0)

Morning all (just!)



Won't be able to post much this week as I've got quite a bit to do before we go on our holiday on Friday. So glad Bingo, that you didn't mention any air disasters ^^^!!!



Bingo, you must look after your back, don't go overdoing things! Really pleased to hear that your Mum is feeling much better. I think you could be right about living near the sea.



My oldies choice:



Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil



Well the Vikings were always fond of a good bonfire - Up Helly Aa !

PS Am update on me cycling quest:



On being like an athlete.... Yes am strong mentally and physically, above average but a admit am nowhere near as fit as a top cyclist track or tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A can keep going at a steady 20mph on me cycle but a know Bradley Wiggans would be turning the pedals even on my old 'eavy mountian bike at a much faster cadence!!!!!!!!!!!

A need ter get this damn 'ouse finished and then a can spend all me spare time down at the gym making me legs insanely powerful..... And cycling 2 'ours a dee before a go ter work ter get me endurance up!!!!!!!!!!



PPS Deebee - Glad yer back on terr firma ok ;-))))) And glad yer not a nervous flyer.... Thought i'd put me foot in it BIG style on Fridee even more so than both mesen and The Mayo do when kicking fallen leaves!!!!!!!!



PPPPS Suzieeeeeee With A Zee (and many e's) - Yes be most nice ter meet yersen at the CiN gig ;-))))))

But when yer meet me a am actually quiet, shy and boring in real life!!!!!!!

It's only on the blog a can open up the madneeeeeess that's deep in me mind!!!!!!!



tatty bye for now!!!!!!!



PS For show tunes:



Can ago with Run by Snow Patrol since it's one of me all time fav tunes, by one of me all time fav bands sung by one of me all time fav singers and one of the few that a can sing very well!!!!!!!!!!



A like Gary Lightbody as 'e seems just an ordinary bloke made it ter the big time with lorry loads of talent.... But with no ego or bravado - know what am sayin'!!!!!!!

#59 Suzieeeeeee your post crossed with mine. Great minds!

#62 Bingo, you are certainly not boring! Suzieeeeeee, I have met Bingo a

couple of times at CiN (I was MadChickenWoman then) and you couldn't meet a nicer chap!

Shona - LOL :-)))))))))))))))



A think The Robinson on me back would make me cycle faster ter get away from 'er!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe a should getta Robinson mascot on the back of me bike for Rio.... Make me go like a rocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Molly Coddle - Like ave said the getting to the airport is over 500 times more dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The flying is the easy bit: A controlled environment with the best of the best as the pilots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Enjoy your 'olidee ;-)))



tatty bye!

hi all



norwegian wood-the beatles



swords of a thousand men-tenpole tudor

#64 - Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



But I am abit shy escecially with alotta people around.... Maybe a should drink a couple of bottles of whiskey before a get ter Western 'ouse.... Then a will be more like Bingo Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's if security let me in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That's if me legs let me in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#58 am now worried that as I grew up in the 'polutted' shadows of Birmingham I maybe have shortened my lifespan...certainly can blame it for stunting my growth!

ps A friend of mine runs comedy clubs, if yer ever interested like in treading the boards....

#63 yes, Up Helly Aa indeed...if the travel was not so treacherous and due to weather conditions, the ferries not sailing - would LOVE to see the boat burning ceremony in the Shetlands.

Jorvik (York) Viking centre is an amazing place - loved it, best bit was you get to sit down in little cars as you are whisked around the Viking scenes (with smells added - peeuw) and after walking all around the town we were POOPED!

Just slipping in..

It's Oh So Quiet- Bjork

#1 - Always since taking Letrozole.

LB, x

#55 - PoS - that works quite well because the Stavanger football team is called 'Viking'. Nothing wrong with a bit of 1/2Man 1/2Biscuit - Trumpton Riots and all that.



On another (very) tenuous link -



Weather with You - Crowded House (as in Viking, North Utsire, South Utsire...)

Time for some lunchtime punnery.....



CANUTE FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT? - Elton John



SVEN I NEED YOU - Leo Sayer

#vikingpunnery



OLAV THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS - Nick Lowe



LEIF IN THE FAST LANE - The Eagles

#evenmorevikingpunnery



HAKAN WE BE LOVERS - Michael Bolton

#71 excellent punnage Johann :) (I also like the change of name to something vaguely Nordic)



I'm not familiar with the HMHB track PoS - but I love the title so will endeavour to find out more!

#scrapingthebottomofthe60sbarrelforvikingpunnery



LISTEN DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SIGRID? - Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas



SOLVEIG WE'LL BE TOGETHER - Diana Ross & The Supremes



GUDRUN RUN RUN RUN, GUDRUN RUN RUN - The Crystals

#evenmorevikingpunnery



Valkyrie - Steve Winwood

Johann, you are a wizard with the punnery! ;0)



I look forward to meeting Bingo too and hearing him sing Run after his 2 bottles of whisky.

#62 I've also been suffering from injury Bingo. Groin strain on the right hand side, no idea how it happened, just woke up the morning after a run suffering. Have to assume I tweeked something avoiding a tree root or something but didn't feel it at the time as I was warm from the running.



Gave it three weeks, went for a run and the next morning I was hobbling again. Another three weeks before running on the Saturday just gone and I can still feel it, though not as bad as the previous time.



Happened at a really frustrating time, just after I'd reached the three mile target for my runs and having lost a stone. Feels like 6 weeks wasted since it happened.



That's the second injury since I started running, having had something in my calf go twang three weeks after starting. The doctor advised that calves can be bad news, and can become chronic if not properly rested, but it's the groin that's proving to be chronic.

This is terrible - A NORSE WITH NO NAME!!!!!

Suzieeeeee With A Zee - A wouldn't worry being brought up near Brum... yer can get away with alot when yer young!!!!!!!!

It's just in retirement am sure living near the sea 'elps!!!!!!!!

'aving said that yer body does condition itself ter the conditions it finds itself in!!!!!!!



Me father 'as lived in London all 'is life and 'e does noot 'ave lung problems!!!!!!



As for treading the boards.... Do yer mean walking the plank of the comedy ship or the theatre boards?????

Or can a performer not tell which wood they are walking until until the audience decide 'ow wooden their act is???????



Yes a would love ter give it ago but not at the moment as am upter me neck in it with stuff a mentioned above!!!!!!



A did ask Chris Evans for a job but 'e couldn't 'elp me.... And a did enter the BBC comedy thingy last year!!!!!!!

A think me inexperience was a problem.... Never done a gig!!!!!!!!!



But for sure one thing whatever yer age.... Yer can still do comedy.... In the words of Earnie Swartzernagger.... "I'll bee baaark!!!!!"



Just gotta finish me 'ouse, get married, ave a family, become a train driver, be a trucker too, win an Olympic Gold medal at cycling.... Then a will be ready ter divert me mind ter possible stand up comedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



PS Ave gotta joke know, sorry now:



A compulsive streaker nearly gotta prison sentence.... 'e was told by the judge that 'e would spare 'im jail after 'e promised never ter streak again!!!!!

The streaker outside the court said 'e's glad ter be spared jail.... 'e's over the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Soz!

A went ter buy a carpeet and arranged for them ter come out and fit it for mesen!!!!!!



When the carpeet fitter arrived a asked "you will do a good job for me????@?"



The fitter replied "yes only a quality job.... I'm not one to cut corners!!!!!!"



A said "no, a want me corners cut!!!!!!!"







Sometimes life ain't easy all!!!!!!

#78 Ken - Sorry to 'ear about your groin strain a think fotty players refer to it as!!!!!!



Sometimes yer can 'urt a tendon or ligament from repetitive strain injury a think they call it.

A did it playing golf in me left ankle from continually putting me weight onter me left as a swung through!!!!!

6 months it took ter get better!!!!!!!

a could play golf but it was there niggling for 6 months!!!!!!



Sounds like you've injured a ligament/ tendon slightly!!!!!!!



My adice acupunture is excellent for such things - 'ad it many times!!!!!!

A good soak in a 'ot 'ot bath!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if you wanter keep your fitness going... Try a different sport until it 'eals like maybe cycling!!!!!!!



'ope it gets better soon!!!!!!!

Bingo, you are a comedian! And isn't it strange that I can ready your posts now. 'Twas a foreign language before.



#79 Very clever Rockey. Welcome aboard.

Shona - A suppose it's just like learing a new language!!!!!!



Me blogs are 'demented scouse'.... Just think slep in the middle between Paul O'Grady and John Bishop!!!!!!!



PS Ken - Forgot ter say:



STEPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



A used steppers at the gym (the ones that are like sking, up back and form as legs bounce up and down).... A brilliant alternative ter running!!!!

Running is 'eavy on the joints but a stepper does the same, burns calories fast but light on the joints!!!!!!!!

Best thing I ever used a stepper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And great this time of year ter be indoors and out of the cold that does seem ter get inter joints even if yer 'ave done a proper warm up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#80 as in walking the comedy plank boards...my friend 'helps' new comedians by giving them wee slots in the middle of paid acts..just to give them the experience.

A chap called Chris Stokes was just such a newbie and he is now as far as I know doin it for a living!!!



#vikingpunnery (loving it!!)



THOR THE ONE THAT I WANT by ONJ



#78 Did you take up running late in life? Apparently your body complains a lot more than if you've done it all your life! - I like extreme knitting as a sport, injuries unlikely unless you sit too close together...



oh and BIG news, forgot to tell you all - TOM DALEY is in the building...he's doing 'bits and pieces' of our physiology course so will be here for two terms - Aaaaw he's so sweet!

Suziee with a Zee. How very exciting!!!!

#15 Deebee, yes, I met Neil Oliver, the last time I saw Ricky Ross and Lorraine McIntosh at a recording of a BBC Scotland show in 2009. He had presented part of the programme, three years ago, no anorak and looking so smart in a dark grey suit, tie and silky looking, just-washed hair! A friend, who I work part-time, with has actually shared a tent with him as they were archaeological students at Uni together and often went on digs on remote Scottish islands and she said he has always had long hair!



Like you, I loved seeing Deacon Blue... they were brilliant! Ricky Ross has such a great rapport with the audience and it was good seeing the lovely Dougie again, back on his drums, having been more used to seeing him as a very popular sports presenter as well as fronting several outdoor type programmes on Scottish TV.



I was sitting beside a couple who were obviously huge fans as they had also seen them in Aberdeen on Saturday and Glasgow on Sunday. We were in the front row of the dress circle rather than stand all night so I used the ledge to sit my little camera on, to make a couple of videos...



Dignity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAEgS_YlMTc



Chocolate Girl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e94_JHz-3jE



I loved their Bob Dylan's song, 'Forever Young' at the end of the night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI0FoqEkT1Q

Oh Flo! Cleb Queen! My previous wee Westie (Fergus) peed on Neil Oliver's tent when they were doing an archaeological dig for their Two Men in a Tent Series.



I've seen Dougie when I took some children to Glasgow for some outdoorsy awards thing. He smiled and I smiled but let him chat to the children rather than bulldozing them out of the way to get an autograph ;))

#86 it is!! I'm hoping he has his medal with him, we have our Xmas 'do' at his college - hoping the boss (under whose wing he is) will encourage him to come along...

Speaking of outdoorsy things...............I'm heading out to the field.



Enjoy the show everyone and catch you when I can.



Shona X

#89 You sneaked in there Suzieee. That's even more exciting!!

#70.Parsley_Cat, believe me, it really isn't suitable. You've plainly never heard it. I shall only say that it puts their 'Fred Titmus' in the shade

#88 Shona... Cleb Queen? Hehe... I have met quite a few over the years! :o))



Had to laugh at Fergus (did he sing the Blues?) peeing on Neil Oliver's tent... I just hope it wasn't anywhere near where his hair was as he's seemingly always been proud of his hair and was always brushing it in his younger days!



Dougie Vipond had huge cheers last night when the band were introduced during Chocolate Girl. He has such a lovely, natural smiley face and seems utterly charming and probably has a nice way with children.

#87 thanks for the links - their Dignity song on the DT show was superb!



ps is it me??! Follow the new BBC link by tab to 'Radio' then select R6 - the option to listen live is not the default page (had to dig about to find Rad & Mac) - unlike R2 where SW's ugly mug and the option to listen live is right in front of you...feel like they have tried to run 'afore the could walk with launching this new format.

Ho hum maybe tis just me having a 'Mayo-breakfast-show-moment'

#91 we are quite well suited #petiteinsize

(But in my case, it's upwards only)

:-S

#1 Clearly not! :¬)



PoS, did you see my reply to your question, last Friday I think?

#92 - PoS - you are quite correct, I haven't heard it, but I understand where you are coming from.



Simon would only ever play it once - but what a way to go out !

#97 Never to work again though, which would be the enormous downside... (I googled. Safe to say it wasn't what I was expecting...)

maybe can reach the 100 today??

er, try again...maybe we can reach the 100 today??
