ALAS THE REAL OL' BLUE EYE'S... HE GONE
Paul Newman, a true...
...dude.
Was he the dudiest ?
I think he may have been.
Happily married, really good at his job, impossibly handsome, gave zillions to charity, came second at Le Mans ! When he was in his fifties !!!
He was also responsible for the most famous line decrying the futile psyche of infidelity...
"Why go out for a hamburger when you can have a steak at home?"
Clever and funny but apparently a line that his wife thought cheap and crass. My wife on the other hand responded to the same line with an entirely different point of view...
"Well how about a mixed grill?"
"Wahey !" I screamed...obviously not out loud. In fact solely to myself. Please don't tell anyone I told you that.

SuperBP - the bingo halls are wayyyyy to serious, IMHO, and encourage people with not a lot of money to spend and gamble.
The seaside prize bingo is really funny tho - what else to do in Clacton when it's piddling down???? Never take it too serious, and always have a larf with your fellow bingoers. And for 4 wins you can have a teddy!! :-)
Also love those things at the seaside where you all sit on little stools and bowl balls into holes to make your horse / camel win the Derby. Mega excitement to be had on one of those - speshly after a few pints of falling down juice!!
And then there's the crazy golf and the infamous windmill hole ......

Bagpuss: The steak comment doesn't work for me either, as a veggie (or grass muncher as Beesmum so rudely called us!!) What would I be? A Delia souffle omelette I think (had to look up omelette spelling in Delia's book - doh).

Evening bloggers and lurkers.
Such a shame another legend has passed on ever upwards to entertain the skies. RIP Paul Newman - you will be sorely missed by your family, friends and anyone who has been assisted by your philantrophy or seen your movies.
Michmel belated congrats for Friday ARF selection - a good choice indeed.
SusanS - you are still at the top of CLP Bloggers Fantasy Footie League - big kudos to you for your team choice. I am having fun with my choice especially as also put it into the league at work and currently doing well against the lads.

Boleyngirl: Apparently no Geordie accent at all, although everyone up here can tell where I originate from.
Friends were taking the pi** every time I said 'dirty'. They were all trying to say it in a scottish accent and sounding very stupid the more drunk they got.
Btw: there was some very 'dirty' talk going on in the Aletaster on Friday night. Not by me, I hasten to add.
On Sunday morning I visited friends who live north of Morpeth. The female half looked round at all the 'boys' talking music, guitars, etc, and said 'They really are all lovely - but they're bloody crackers, aren't they? Described my family and friends perfectly I though.

Hey I am just back from Every Little Helps and I have a question. What's with these funny little mini cabbages that have started appearing in the bouquets? Now I've come to terns with courgette in a cake but I cannot cope with cabbage in the carnations. Madness.
Annie man it sounds like you had a topper time. I do love a man in a kilt (don't tell Mr Boleyn he he). Our Scottish connections are a tad tenuous though , so it's boring old trousers for the blokes.
Tinsel - I'll see how the numbers go!
Teen 1 becomes sweet 16 tomorrow. No, I know I don't look old enough to have a 16 year old daughter! Can't wait to see her face when she opens queen tickets! Part now postponed to halloween, not sure that's a good move but at least it's an excuse to dress as a witch.

Hi to All,
Dozy, I really felt for you this weekend but you did the best thing. Debbie - keeping fingers crossed for you and your job seeking. Steve - best you know where your money is at!!!!!!!! Or where it's going!!.
I am off for my PET scan now - 2 hours of lying on a bed, listening to any music I want to take in with me and letting science do the work!!! Positive thoughts from all please and let the bloggers' magic work!

Bagpuss - I believe you are describing Dukes. Near the station?
A fine night-club, if that's your bag. And it sure ain't mine!!
Last time I went to a nightclub (also in Chelmsford incidentally, but it was Reds), Relight My Fire was number one in the charts and I was unaware of the beauty that awaited in the form of Mr Diva!
Rock on, Dear Prudence.

Steve - I'm still dancing!!

Good day to one and all,
Missed ya
I prefer the steak anyday lol
Anyhoooo what an amazing holiday I just had and couldn't have been with a more amazing woman too. So much to take in and enjoy and sun was a bonus. Best bits..... pyramids, inside and out, temples, everything about them, 4 seasons balcony lol and the swimming pool on the roof catching sun all day, balloon over valley of kings and queens, go me, I wanna do another flight asap, I have fear of heights but this was NO FEAR, it was awesome, everyone should try it one day.
Now, back to rain and cold bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr
and work euch lol, still start new job in few weeks so cant wait.
Have a great day all

Quickly popping by. It's wet and cold in the West Midlands, boo.
Positive thoughts and vibes go out to Durbangirl, Dozy, Debbie (and Beaky and Titch?) and all who need them.
D'you know what gets my dander up with job applications? When employers can't be bothered to even acknowledge them. My daughter (went all teenygirl squeally when she got the Queen tickets this morning!) has sent applied for loads of advertised jobs, some with national companies, taking lots of care with her CV and letter etc and only one or two have bothered to reply. Ooo it makes me blood boil. Good luck on Thurs Debs.
Have a good afternoon one and all.

Only saturday jobs, but nevertheless. Can't wait to get them up the chimneys at weekends earning their keep.

Good luck with that new job Errol.
I know how you feel boleyngirl, I have spoken to people, got email addresses, sent CV's and heard nowt.
Interestingly enough, the interviews that I have got were not through agencies. I'm with about 5 now I think and not a squeak from any of them.
My eldest is 'up the chimneys' a couple of times a week. Does 'em good I think.

hello bloggers!
Did a bit of lurking yesterday and this morning. now that i have completed the important accounty thing that has like a dark cloud over me, I have time to look at the world and smile and glory at the wonderousness of it all. Have also brought Horse to work and ridden for a wee bit - endorphines and sunshine - Could it get any better?
Cutty Sark - fire started by Vacuum cleaner left on over weekend - no doubt operated by the male of the species - Pray, how do you accidently leave one on for 2 days with out noticing?
Kitten at Granny's today - kept stealing my pen yesterday and creating havock in the office.
{{{((((LOTS OF HUGS))))}}} to all those who need them - and to thoses that don't just to make you smile
QUACK ;o>

Whats a vacuum cleaner? *blank look*

Granny egg would be Very surprised if even I KNEW!!! She has demanded that I take a day off work so she can help me "bottom" the house. Sounds painful but she's like a terrier when she gets going - so at some point I will learn the art of "bottoming!"

Have we all missed something about the technological achievements of our ancestors. I mean if the Cutty Sark had electrical sockets whatever next ......... did Nelson have satellite tv in his cabin and Drake an i-pod with the latest madrigals on it?
Just a thought......!
