In the buff, in the hot tub, in the pub and Scouting for Beers.
What a...
...total and utter laff.
We had a riot yesterday in the hot tub but I have never been so dehydrated and then re-hydrated with all the wrong stuff.
The boys from the band came with and stayed way beyond what was good for them considering they had a video shoot for their new single at 6 a.m. this morning.
Can't remember much else other than Nick Faldo's son turning up for some reason!
Hot tub looked sad and lonely this morning, another spent force used up and washed out by this merciless industry we call showbizz.
Another special follows tonight. How can we do a normal show after two belters already this week.
CLP.

I am anticipating 2 hours full of Sugarbabes and Girls Aloud. I think Alice may well be the only song I am likely to enjoy.
There's me, being an old oldie g*t!

Good start so far though! There must be parents all around the country asking their kids to request songs so hopefully we should get a good bunch!

Happy birthday Pandagirl! 40 is the new 20, actually it's not, it's better. 40 is fine, I got there three years ago and still only two white hairs per year!

Happy Birthday Pandagirl! Im a few yrs away but my other half hit it last yr and its okay - promise!
Plum-Night terrors - my 3yr old nephew suffers bless his little heart. He has `ladies dancing on the windowsill coming to get me` on quite a regular basis..very scary to see how scared he gets so anyone who suffers has my full sympathies - hope they stop soon.
Had day off yesterday clearing out wardrobe space (Beesmum i should really learn to take ur advice!) so tonight is cabbaged out with glass of adult pop as a reward!
Would much rather be in that there London tho -AND going to see Spamalot - looks amazing! Im sure Highgate cemetary etc will be recovering from being Diva`d too!

Happy 40th panda, I also turned 40 three years ago....nothin to it. In fact, I think as you get older life becomes more fun. Also more emotion kicking around, but that adds to the fun.....so welcome on board the number 40 something bus....we're just driving around wondering where we're headed.
Blog gone very quiet last few days....not much fun for us that like to just lurk around sometimes as not enough time to start the whole sign in stuff! where d'ya all go? Just cos CtD off for few days!!!???? we lurkers still expecting reading material, contrary to others opinions!!! (that's my controversial line for the day!)
Had lovely walk with Alf tonight. Went to leafy walk next to river and was right up close to a heron. Thought it would stay all night. Never managed to see one up so close. It just delicately padded through the water. Then a fish jumped. Felt all in touch with nature. Then 4 human beans came along and scared him off....not intentional like! Ahhh, Alf thankfully did not spot said heron. He was off sniffing the usual spots....
Right off to get some 'stuff' done. And as it Thirsty Thurs, off to have nice cold gls of Pinot!!!

Ah dreamer, you kind of said what I have been thinking too.
I have felt a bit uncomfortable about posting due to recent comments on here.
I sometimes type a post then delete it and walk away.
I also have things going on at home that are making it hard to concentrate on what's going on in here. Obviously so not going to pour my heart out on here, learnt that the hard way lol!
I popped in recently, noticed very few posts and little to read. Although the posts that were here were great ones.
I thought to myself that I would rather come here and find loads of posts to trawl through, maybe skip through if necessary, than find nobody posting at all.
Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Ditto ditto ditto Debs.
Well hopefully our posts will encourage those that feel the same. But we shouldn't let few with limited views change things.
And it was often the outpouring of people's hearts as well as the fun stuff that could lift spirits. Everyone has things going on that are tough...that's life and although it means if you're feeling it you're most def alive this blog can help! Since I joined I've had number of difficult things going on. Some still hanging around.
So. share Debs and if you don't feel like it then know that all on here care. Sending you big hugs.

Have you learned nothing from this blog?
You don't just let us know you are 40 on the day.
You start the build up several weeks in advance then build to a crescendo on the day itself.
Post birthday, you tell us how great it was and how many prezzies, cards and balloons you got from all your many admirers.
If your old man then has a birthday shortly afterwards so much the better. Then you let us know plan for your weekend in a big city of your choice so that we can post about what we think you are up while you are not posting.
This of course keeps your name alive even though you are not here.

Hey, eejits, you know what this blog is about - what, exactly, do you WANT people to talk about? SO WHAT if people talk about spuds - would you rather they were swapping stories about porn?
And I'll tell you something - any day now this blog is going to be shut down. When that happens, I hope you'll be proud of yourselves - you are typical bullies - you will just grind and grind until you destroy.

Anyway thank you for mixing it up here on CLP's friendly blog. As already said, by others, if you want a blog to do what you do best on, then go elsewhere. There's plenty of them around. If you want to be thought provoking then afraid you're missing the point with your comments KS. Debate not slating others is the point. (don't take lesson from our politicians!!!)
Right all other friendly bloggers. Happy Friday. Alf and I got off to muddy start, so showered him down and now he has that mad runny about thing going on....hilarious!!

Pandagirl, hope that you had a great birthday.
Differences in opinion are healthy of course.
I don't like Emmerdale, so I don't watch it. I don't watch it everyday and then constantly complain that I don't like it.
I don't like the Sun newspaper, so I don't read it, I don't buy it.
Constructive criticism always wellcome but I think that we get the point now guys.
Some people come in here and don't like what they read. We get it.
How many times can people say change the subject, post something that you want to talk about?

Good for you PP, sleepwise I mean, wish I could say the same, but watching Psycho last night over-stimulated my brain.
So I was lying there mulling things over and I thought about a comment that went unanswered yesterday. Somebody referred to the "middle classiness" of the children on last night's show.
Can we all please admit the fact that, by and large, Radio 2 (including CLP's fabulous show) is indeed a middle class domain. Posh food, fast cars, expensive hobbies abound.
We all like to think we are caring and sharing, and I'm sure we are all "lovely" etc etc and I know that most of us aren't loaded. But I would imagine that the vast majority of people who listen to the show are, in modern terms, middle class. Or aspire to be. This may not sit comfortably with those of us who do not read the Daily Mail (unless they come across it at their Mum's house, that doesn't count), but nevertheless it is true.
I taught in an inner city primary school in a very deprived area so I do know what I'm talking about.

Nasty Alert - look away now if you feel you may be offended.
As far as I am aware this place is provided by the BBC to comment on the blog posted each day by Mr Evans. The fact that some people treat it as a private chatroom does not alter that fact.
I will continue to post as long as the BBC allow me, if you dont like that, tough luck I'm afraid. Just ignore me.
I'm glad that someone finds me absolutely fascinating.
However I cannot seem to recall the post where I advocated a discussion about porn!
Actually the 'spuds' in question are a pre teen level double entendre, so don't accuse me of lowering the tone.

Take a chill pill. The Blog is a community of comments. Bloggers like myself enjoy reading Chris's blog and many other contributions from members of the Public. Bloggers of note for humour for me would be TTT, Dr Mc Crumble, Clodagh, Moose, KYLE(COULD IT BE JEREMY) EJR and perhaps others I have missed out on.
Not everybody want's to chat in a humourous way however and that is not a bad thing. Serious comments or people just reaching out with a problem they can talk about virtually occasionally that's life.
What is a shame though, is when the blog turns into into comments such as "Your go on scrabs.. surely that is not a good thing".
Also I am a huge fan of Radio 2 and always listen to Chris and Steve Wright when I can because they are simply the best.. oh that's a good Arf Choice.

Hmm, pasty ginger with pot belly and bandy legs in skimpy thong - gross!
Thank you for your kind words re: MrsW and the jam-eaters, I am very lucky to have been blessed with my family.
Couldn't sleep again after last nights work, 2 more to go too! Now off with said family to shop, we have some holiday winnings to spend!
I am refraining from mentioning 'the gift' as best I can, but I am still sooooo excited, and humbled to be chosen to receive something.
Have agreat weekend, Bonnet de douche

Ho hum.
Plum I just have to answer that one. As far as I'm concerned, this blog is a friendly place. I've said it loads of times before, people who come here can expect laughs, sympathy, support ... - I have had all three and much more so many times over the time I've been blogging - but not nasty sniping and rude comments about other people. Life really is too short.
Only my opinion obviously.
Have a good day everyone.

Hello all. Haven't blogged for a while, because I found all the sniping really quite depressing. I have been lurking however, and found a blog a few days ago by Tough_Task_Ted quite illuminating (Ted, I hope you don't mind me reproducing part of it here):
"It is certainly not the place of anybody who posts on here to tell somebody to go elsewhere because they do not like what they have posted.
Likewise nobody can dictate what the ambience of the blog is to be. Some want it to be light and fluffy, and others want something a bit more serious. Surely a blend of the two would merely relect real life."
Now, I have had some trouble with some of Ted's posts in the past, but wholeheartedly agree with his sentiment here, and think it should apply to everyone. Differences of opinion should be welcomed, but could we please not descend to insults (either direct or implied, because even if they're implied we can all usually guess at whom they're directed) because there's really no need.
Thank you.

AF - I'm with you - there is a place for every one but please can we stop the cattiness - its really not attractive and will not encourage new people to post and that would be great for them to do that!
So hi to all the lurkers - get yourself a name and join in!
If you cannot think of a catchy name - use a pets name and street - that makes me minty stalls farm road! (okay possibly should not change my name!)

Well, what's everyone up to today? I've just had a new mobile phone delivered to home (despite the fact that I gave my work address for delivery - fortunately, dad is there to sign for it. He's cleaning my guttering and painting my porch, bless him). So I'm excited to get home and play with my new toy!
Just been reading the BBC news website, and there's a story about online maps not including historical buildings and woodlands and other places of interest. Never thought of it to be honest, but it's true! And I do love a bit of architecture... I do have a 20 year old A-Z in the car, which probably has places that don't even exist any more!

Good luck at the vets Tinsel. I'm £272 worse off now after having my constipated rabbit fixed recently.

Good luck with the job hunting Debbie - worth looking in the local paper too, lots of local firms advertise in there rather than at job centre.
£272 for a constipated bunny?????????
How's the giant doing by the way? What name did he get in the end??

Ah yes local paper, forgot about that. I'll look for it.
I was given an estimate of £150, then received a phone call telling me that I could collect her and it would cost £272. I had a few words and agreed to pay the balance at a later date. Didn't tell them that they would have to wait for me to get a job!
The giant is still not very friendly and mum called him Harvey.

Debbie, did you see the film with Harvey was on the TV last week. Made me smile, thinking of giant Harvey.
Know what you mean about pets, they can be pricey. My cat, who I had to have put to sleep in 2006, had cancer and had 2 quite major operations. I was quite a bit out of pocket there, I tell you!! But it's what you do, isn't it. I think, if I got another kitten, I'd take out insurance this time!

Well, I must be really thick because I quite often can't tell the diffference between people being funny (as in amusing), ironic, sarcastic or downright moody. That's because tone of voice plays such a big part in conversation and subtle nuances just don't come across in texts and emails.
I used to worry about the "cool gang" but decided I was being over-sensitive. If people don't respond to me then clearly I have not said anything interesting, amusing or comment-worthy.
Will continue to lurk/comment/be boring - might even say something interesting sometimes.

Afternoon all,
Have just caught up on the days posts and wanted to clarify something mentioned in a way previous post - at the risk of digging it all up again - which is not my intention, so feel free to stop reading now if you wish.
It was me who used the "cool kids' phrase, and I didn't mean any particular group of individuals it was meant as the blog as a collective. as far as I am concerned you are all the cool kids.
Another example of how written conversations can lose the original meaning. I had never blogged before, and have never been part of a big collective of people. I was always the one who didn't quite fit anywhere at school and seem to have carried it through some aspects of life with me, so I guess that fear of not fitting in and being accepted - which in relation to the blog turned out to be a totally unfounded fear is actually what I was referring to with the cool kids comment. Apologies for any confusion, I was just making an attempt to calm some stormy waters.

Skived off early and am home - door open into the garden, sunny and warm. Thought I'd mention that cos it happens so rarely these days. Bottle of Pino thingy cooling in fridge ready for the wine club. Hope I'm not the only member.
Elvis would be good for ARF - Jailhouse Rock please.
MV: You're not boring at all. Think it's just sometimes there are so many posts that by the time I get down to 'post a comment' I've forgotten who I want to reply to.
Hope everyone has a sunny weekend.

Afternoon MV, AF and the rest of the crew you know who you are.... I'm officially lurking.
My arf thanks to TTT is Dave Edmunds Sabre Dance (he says the new guitar version on his new album is even faster than the Love Sculpture version). So please play it for me. stuck in an office with the Air Festival going on and no chance of seeing anything much - you can hear the jets but not see them... so frustrating.
Off back to lurk

hello all - well it's the "most won-der-ful tiiime of the weeek"!! Wish I could bottle this feeling (did someone say bottle?) and uncork, or unscrew, it again on all those dark mornings ahead... but never mind, will enjoy it whilst it's here and hope you do too!
If anybody's interested, I think my toe is reattaching itself to the rest of me, and in the right place too - which is nice!
Bit disappointed that on hearing that about a broken my toe, most people's reaction is to say "ouch" and screw their faces - or to laugh... At the risk of sounding like Margot Leadbetter, "Why is it funny??"
Off to cook something delicious and unhealthy and open a bottle of something to use responsibly, obviously... Prefer screwcaps tho', much less faff, but have to say one of my favourite sounds is a cork leaving a bottle...

I was wondering why my ears were burning today and a read of the posts tells me why.
I've been grouped in with the nasties, been mentioned for my humour and been told I talked sense in a recent post.
This is a little confusing as I try to be consistent in my posting, but on the other hand I think that that's the way it should be. The world would be such a dull place if we all agreed on everything
As I have said before I try to stay on the right side of nastiness, but as it has been pointed out the written word is a blunt instrument in comparison with speech.
All I will say in my defence is that some of my posts may have been taken without the required pinch of salt
This place is a broad church, and long may it be so.
And here endeth the sermon.
