BBC TRUST REPORT OUT ... PRIME MINISTER ON THE FLOOR ABOVE...
Just another normal day at the office...
... though what I like about Fridays -
I sort of get the morning off. Today I spent it with a lovely man who knows a shed load about old Ferraris. Meant to stay there for half an hour, ended up being late for the rest of my day.
Ho hum... arrived in work ahead of the P.M. Everyone seems to be extraordinarily relaxed about his arrival. I'll try and join in the cool mood but I'm not very good at it. Right so, er... well yes, here we are then.
But I've just heard Sir Michael Lyons on Jeremy's show and looks like we still all have jobs ! Hurrah.
Listen you lot, it has been a strange few weeks. A strange few weeks that I thought were coming to an end until Enzo's passing on Monday and then Terry's song going crazy from Tuesday onwards and then all the internal goings on today. To be honest with you I'm a bit emotionally spent. Off next week though and back with a bang for three Christmas cracking weeks. I know it's not a real job but my head's a bit fuzzy nonetheless.
So, look after yourselves you lot.
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You.
CLP.

Yep sounds like your in need of that week off to chill out and relax. In my experience your gonna need a week off to get your head round Enzo not being there. I binged and ate a whole pack of fun sized milky-way bars the afternoon we lost our good pal "Butch". Didnt make me feel any better - twas just something to do to get the afternoon over with.
Anywho, you have a good one. Glad to see you all still have your jobs.

Ooooo its looking chilly out there, and the cat's just nafted off to cough up a furball so my lap is getting cold now.
Slightly gone off the idea of taking the cat with me on the school run after the furball incident (who's idea was it to get a long-haired cat anyway?).
I just hope it dont start to rain as (in tune now everyone) "i dont have my unberella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh"

If anyone believes in justice please have a thought for the poor inventor (me) who is being taken to the patent court in Munich on Monday by a UK PLC who say the patent office should never have given me the patent in the first place..........One would have thought they would argue that with the patent office - not me!
The argument gives me a fuzzy brain.

Hi Steve,
Love the opening line......

Just skimmed the posts, CLP I'm not surprised you're cream crackered, have a lovely break and come back ready for Christmas!
How's this for a bit of pressure selling - on the spur of the moment I taught "Little Drummer Boy" to my year 2s this avo, they hadn't heard it (think most of their parents are radio 1 listeners!) but now they LOVE it. I told them that in a couple of weeks time it is coming out as a single, for Children in Need, so now they're all going to make their parents buy it! Have decided to do that in every class next week, I teach over 500 children a week so hopefully it will help!
Friday night is family night chez Boleyn, but if I get the chance I might pop me head round the door, if not have one for me, a nice cold fruity chardonnay please.

Evening each
Chris, have a great week - going somewhere warm?
Bsmum, do you really think I'd miss the FNWC? Not a chance. Had today off to go Christmas shopping (sorry!!) with daughter. Stayed over last night so missed you all. Today was spent shopping in Dunfermline between Doctors visits with 6 yr old. Rash all over, Doctors, take to school, shopping, phone call from school, back to Doctors with shooting pains in tum, home with hot water bottle, back to school to pick up big brother. Daughter is now shattered and son-in-law will be coming home about now to BIG TROUBLE!!! Just because, boys, Right????
Welcome to all the newbies. See you all in the hot tub later, with a glass of vino.

Suffered from MAJOR frozen ear syndrome walking to school, on the way I bumped into a couple and their cherub who had been at my lesson this morning 4 hours earlier (i sing nursery rhymes with babies at the local library), they were only just heading for home after walking round town in the howling wing - my god they must have been frozen solid !

Evening all.
Ah. Nice to see a pint of my favourite already lined up. Who bought that?
A deluxe weekend approaches.
I've been off for a couple of days and have worked myself a tad too hard in the gym and as a result I am aching from head to foot via every muscle.
So. Tomorrow I am going to pick up my brand new Jaguar XF and then, with Fulham hopefully winning at Anfield (OK, OK, I know....) I am taking Mrs MfR to The M for dinner and, get this, we are staying there. A long, romantic and, ahem, boozy meal awaits us and we don't have to drive home or grab a cab.
And. Cooked breakfast on Sunday morn in the restaurant!
Ha!
Then, it is Chrimble shopping on Monday and then a lazy day on Tuesday.
Before the carnage that is returning to the office on Wednesday.
Still. Something has to said for this holidaying at home lark.
Well, that's one pint down, who's round is it?
Mine? Alright, what are you having?
Loving you

Mine is a weekend of being holed up at home making the Crimbo cards. Which might sound rubbish to some, but I'm so looking forward to it. The way things have been going at work, I so rarely get to indulge my creative side, so I like to take full advantage when I can. And frankly, I just don't know enough people who have birthdays. So if anyone wants a card for their birthday or Christmas, just FB me and I'd be more than delighted :-)

Over the years we have covered many thousands of miles across many, many states, but this time we are thinking about Colorado, Utah, and Monument Valley, Arizona. We've been to Scottsdale before and also taken in the canyon a couple of times, but we fancied a bit of the US Rockies having been through the fabulous Canadian ranges in Alberta.

Right.
Quick question (crumbs, these shorts are practically transparent....).
Most emotional at a live event.
You know what I mean, a gig or a game when you have simply lost it.
I'll start with two, this year.
Fulham v Birmingham. We were dead and buried and whoever won had a chance of staying up. We did and many tears flowed.
Secondly. Bon Jovi at Twickers. OK, I accept that a steady flow of alcohol was a factor, but when the first notes of 'Wanted' were plucked, I blubbed like a baby.

That counts. And I know we can all relate to the experience.
Oh, and Shankly was right.
One more I can add, which wasn't a 'live' thing, but I remember when George Harrison died. Mrs MfR walked up the 'aisle' - we were married in a hotel - to 'Here Comes The Sun, and George was always our favourite Beatle.
The Beeb ran a show as a tribute to him and Travis played 'our tune' acoustically.
Mrs MfR and I looked at each other when Fran sang 'Little darlin'....' and blubbed and blubbed and blubbed.
A beautiful and poignant moment.

FIrst car.. Citroen AX ..black, special edition with velour seats dont ya know! Loved that car cos it was my independance cos we lived out in the country with no bus route when i lived at home... but went off on an extended trip to NZ, spent too much money on my Dads credit card and he sold it to pay for it! Fair enough but i was mortified at the time!

Scooby: Used to take my Beetle to a guy in Edinburgh for servicing. He was a VW fan who used to drive his 'buggies' in the desert in Santiago. He built a Porsche around a Beetle frame and drove his gorgeous shiny green Beetle in the Jazz Parade in Edinburgh.

My final thought tonight, well here, anyway, I may have one or two others back here in Rudgwick Towers.
The best ever tune to run to in the gym.
Ever.
Now. I've done a bit of research. Some if it with one Christophe of Lambie Pie running next to me, and I have come to a conclusion.
Take a deep breath chaps.
Ace of Spades. Motorhead.
Yep.
Been through them all. Many, many close calls, but Lemmy and the boys win it hands down.
Pop it on your pod and let rip.
Sleep well.

HLS: blue reared fly impressions are definitely a female thing, usually after the males in our lives! (and offspring I guess, but none of those here)

HLS: Knackered! Far too many nights out this week. Some related to what BM wants to tell you re "what I do" (not for a living this is!) All good fun, just lost out on valuable sleep. I couldn't cope on the little sleep you have to manage on that's for sure.
BM: feel free, it's no big secret, I make enough noise doing it!

I just love it - was telling Oz the other night had a good friend who is a clanger and when I listened to what he did (Oz - forgot to tell plays church organ too like an angel) was totally enthralled how complicated (not right word but get the gist) and dedicated he is!
Sus - bell ringing.

Oh wow!!! I love the sounds of the bells ... now is it hand bells (we have a group in Oban played at our church fete last year - beautiful!) or the big church bells??
A clanger - lol - I remember that programme!!

I see the excitement of the announcement has got to HLS so much she's fainted!
BM: the bf also plays church organ, not always angel like due to bum notes!

HLS: tower bells, though I have had a go at handbells. Yes they do sound nice when rung properly (not always the case, especially with me around!), haunting on occasions too (Remembrance Sunday for example) when we "half muffle" them to get an echo effect.

LOL!! Was annoying BM on FB to find out what you did!!!
Our organist (she's only in her early 20's) has the most beautiful singing voice! She now has a home studio and composes such haunting music. I'll try to UrTube it!

It is, makes you wanna cry sometimes.
Anyway, time I was conked out in bed. Will try to keep up tomorrow as well as going up in the loft (to raid the stash of wrapping paper so I can wrap and hide the few bits I've got ready for Chrimbo) and crossing various other items off the to do list!

For those who need it ....
"When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit."

I seem to be having a bit of a Susan-type night, albeit minus the limpet!
Am sure one of MfR's rules about getting to sleep is to switch the laptop off, but what else am I meant to do until sleep comes?? Eyes too tired to read, so here I am. At least tomorrow's Saturday and I can have a lie in.
You up to anything over the weekend?

Not much. My outdoor football is done until spring. No one plays here in the winter..... As it's thanksgiving weekend next week, there isn't even indoor football, plus to top it all we are not scheduled to play the following week. I don't know if I can go 3 weeks without playing.
Oh well, it will give me chance to catch up on things around the house. I had a bunch of wood delivered for my wood stove yesterday so I'll probably spend most of the weekend stacking that.... boring I know.
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hehe, there's always things to catch up on in the house! Shame about the football, but it'll be great when you get back to it.
'Scuse my ignorance here, but I'm assuming you're a brit abroad? If I'm right, have you been there long? Do you have family out there? Sorry to be so nosey, but they questions I've wondered about...

yup.... I'm an expat, originally from England. Lived out here for quite a few years. My in-door team is made up many of expats. We have a good time, which is the main thing. My parents still live in England. I still call England home.....

Do you ever get homesick? I lived in Northern Ireland for 10 years, and France for 1, and there were times when all I wanted was to hear a Yorkshire accent! The very thing I fought so hard to get away from!!
Came home 4 years ago, was the best thing for me. What about you - d'you think you'll ever move back?

ps no plans this weekend either. Have to get a move on making the Christmas cards, I've only done 10 so far eek!

I have thought about it. But it would be tough to move back without a job to go to..... But if the right job came up I probably would....
If we keep this up we're going to break the 500 barrier......

Matt, enjoy your weekend at The M, sounds great. Come on the Fulham too!
Brrrrrrrrrr, it's cold this morning, car's are both crisply white with a layer of snow, the roads look clear but methinks I'll spend most of today dealing with accidents.....best put the ol' thermals on in case?????
Won't be here much next week, Sun & Mon on nights then Weds is MrsW's 30th and we're off to a nice hotel for a break (a la MfR.

Morning - shooooz you guys had a grand FNWC! Skimmed thru and:
Matt - emotional wreck twice:
1. I was raised on the music of Lennon / McCarney and remember as if it was yesterday waking up on 9 December 1980 to Imagine. My initial somewhat sleepy reaction to my mum was "aaah that's nice to wake up to" then she told me the awful news of John's murder. I was distraught. And 12 years old.
2. July 1990. Wembley Stadium. It was my first ever visit to Wembley Stadium and it was to see The Rolling Stones. After much queueing, got into the Stadium late afternoon and Don't Go by The Hothouse Flowers was pumping out over the PA. I was so ovecome by the whole thing, I quite literally burst into tears and crumbled. Then BF (pre mr diva days) was mortified and didn't know where to look - after all, we still had a good few hours before Mick and Keef made an appearance. His embarrassment got even worse when I insisted on trying to feel the hallowed turf thru the cracks in the pitch covering!
btw: CLP played by Gobsmackers from that concert: Don't Go and Start Me Up earlierthis year.
Wow - feeling all choked now thinking about that!

Last night: Tony Hawkes
He was alright, not brilliantly achingly funny like Michael McIntyre or Ed Byrne or Rich Hall, but a genteel humour - more like a dinner party guest imparting his anecdotes ...... about going round Ireland with a fridge!
AnnieG - after he'd finished he did some autographs. Thinking of you, I scrabbled in my handbag for a piece of paper, queued and asked him to sign "To Annie" - my friend in Scotland who loves you. It was a bit loud in the hall still and although my mission was accomplished, it's signed "To Ali" !! I'll pop it in the post to you on Monday!
