199 that's what they tell me.
199, a significant number...
... for me at the moment at least. A significant number indeed. Oh my goodness so siginificant, if what they say is true. Who knows?
Here's another significant number, 10. 10 is the number of days until we two are due to become we three. Mother and unborn sprog both doing fine by the way.
How about 6 and 6, those are two lots of money I owe.
Ah yes, I was thinking about those two little issues this morning whilst swimming my way back to wakefulness.
Another 10... the number of circuits I do, on my run.
14! The number of minutes I spend on the power plate after my run.
2... the time I must have left for work by.
7... the number of records I must play in the first hour - 8, the number I must play in the second hour.
8 again... the time my wife expects me home.
Life in many ways is governed by numbers. Is this because where we live it's all about money and time?
But 199, now that's the number... or so they tell me.
CLP.

My life is governed by numbers - well I am a bean counter and most things work better if you set a number on them -
Poll - who gets out of bed at either a time with 0 or 5 at the end - most people like the number to be one or the other before they get up! For instance i got out of bed at 6:20 this morning as it was a gym day!

It was during the Falklands War and images of Simon Weston were abundant,so this lent the fire-ravaged teddy another potent layer."Would you like another peice of Belgrano gateau young man."

fairly certain you may have come across this before, but it always makes me giggle....
HOW TO GIVE A CAT A TABLET...
Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding tablet in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop tablet into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
Retrieve tablet from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy tablet away.
Take new tablet from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push tablet to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
Retrieve tablet from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop tablet down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another tablet from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for glueing later.
Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put tablet in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
Check label to make sure tablet not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
Retrieve cat from neighbour's shed. Get another tablet.
Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick tablet down throat with elastic band.
Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Throw Tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologise to neighbour who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat.
Take last tablet from foil-wrap.
Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push tablet into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash tablet down.
Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes tablet remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
Arrange for RSPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

He used a term (which I can't remember now, and he's very good at all the 'manager' speak...WAY past singing from the same hymn sheet or shooting himself in the foot) which is used to determine whether people will pay a fat number or a thin one.
Thin ones usually end in a 9, fat ones in a 5 or a 0. So, would you pay £429 for a sofa from DF5? Or £430?

Scoob, the number of times I call my little cat 'scoob' and think of you...all of them! And also, Dook didn't list your groin as one of the things that goes 'snap!'. Were you enjoying a goose at the time?
Tobes, it's prEvaricate...not that I want to mislead you in any way...
Further to the mention of Cabaret (which I don't fancy, but don't let that stop you and I hope you have a great time!) does anyone wanna see Little Shop of Horrors in Feb at the Dome? This would be the Brighton one as opposed to any other.
Tony Hart died. Am bereft. He used to live at the bottom of my friend's garden. Not a fairy, just the other side of the fence!
So, Christophe, please can you play the Gallery music tonight sometime?

And it's snowing in Glasgow - oh yes. A lovely journey home lies ahead. It's been a while since I fell on my jacksy, so I'm really looking forward to it!

I used to have a book called 'The Meaning Of Liff'.
Not a self help, we make you feel inferior, how to lose confidence and influence everybody against you kinda books, oh no.
It was an alternative dictionary. Liff means 'stuff that there isn't a word for yet'.
The only 2 I can remember though are
KETTERING - The pattern left on bare flesh after sitting on wicker furniture
and
POLLYBREWSTER - The person that solves everything with a cup of tea.
Might have to dig it out at some point

DD: I know - I am a complete nutter. I genuinely won't be able to get out of the train station to walk to the car without my wellies! How MrS puts up with me, I really don't know.
I am terrified of snow and ice - I know it's crazy but there you have it. Plus, I have experienced some quite spectacular falls in my time. Once I slipped, sailed through the air and landed flat on my face, only to look up and see an entire line of drivers, waiting at a red light, draped over their steering wheels, laughing helplessly! I am the master of that particular game!
Hazel: I, too, am so sad to hear about Tony Hart. Loved him. But I read an interview with him some time ago, and he was completely devastated that he couldn't draw because he had had a stroke. His entire reason for living had been taken away from him ..... Michael Ball played the Gallery music on Sunday - I have to say it made me cry!

Well, Bernie has wanted to move it away from Silverstone for years.... Looks like he finally got his wish. I though I saw him in a local restaurant here the other day. I live not too far from the Watkins Glen and wondered if there was any talk for moving the US Grand Prix.... If that was the case, the Watkins Glen track would need millions of pounds in development and improvements as it hasn't been updated much since the last GP in the 70s, I think....

There is an online dictionary...I'm sure someone out there must know what it is called...for words such as those, Mariella...
I have a word in it. 'Swime'.
The gritty sheen one's face and body is covered with at around 4am when one has been clubbing (drinking and dancing) all night...'swimey'...
The other word is 'delicatetic'. Which pretty much means the same as 'dietetic' except it relates to food from a delicatessen...and it was being used in relation to a funnelweb spider and smoked ham.
I rest my case

Greetings Ter The Christoof And ALL Blog Dudes......
Bingo Star ere....
CLP - Sounds like yer doing abitta number crunching..... bit like the govermment at present!!!!!
A 'ope yer 'aven't accidentally given yer pin number out over the blog there!!!!!!
A see the littlen iz refusing ter budge.... looks like the little yer gonna ave an Aquarius operatative on yer 'ands!!!! Noot that aquarians are stubborn, it's just lookin' 'e's only gonna drop when 'e's good and ready!!!
Onter me brilliant news from being in court Fridee:
What 'appened iz a waz involved in an incident driving me HGV at work over three years ago. A saw a car crazily attempt to undertake me at a motorway slip road/ roundabout and nearly 'it me., even though a waz already occupying both lanes and there waz no room for any vehicle ter come up me inside. I didn't see 'im 'it me or feel any bumps etc. So I carried on. (I get used ter impatient drivers at roundabouts in me HGV trying to come around me or cutting me up. All part of the job and this a thought waz no different). Only problem it turned out noot ter be as a goot a letter from the police a month or two later saying i'd been involved in an accident. I immediately checked me rig for damage but noot even a scratch. A mystery to me!
I thought maybe a compensation merchant as ave been warned by my company that a lot of false claims ave been drawn up against the company I worked for.
A gave a statement ter the police and told me employer and 'eard nothing until last year - suddenly a find the insurance company are taking me ter court for 4k plus legal costs.... could be 5, 6, 8k maybe if a lose.
I found out that both insurance companies refused ter settle so they came after me personally.
On top of this a found my employers insurance company ave a clause if they are noot notified about the accident within so many months then the insurance is void.... so I waz left out in the cold!!!
Makes yer wonder why we get damn insurance when they always try ter wriggle out of their responsibility!!
Any way a waz in court Fridee and 'ad ter defend meself as a couldn't afford a solicitor. Me against them and their barrister.
I saw the driver and 'is passenger for the first time. Both young blokes who didn't even make the effort ter dress smart for court. And I later found out they didn't even turn up for the first 'earing in December, that's why it waz adjourned until know!
The claimants said the car waz written off.... amazing since there waz no damage ter me hgv!!!! Nooot even a damn scratch... a mean yer don't write off a car without some kind of damage!!!!!@!!@!@!!!
They said they had overtook me in the very narrow right lane even though I waz going right and them left and then I just drove inter them!!! Noot true, I arrived there first and they tried ter undertake me!!
If they 'ad then if they were in such a 'urry they would ave been gone from the junction by the time I goot there in me slow hgv. It all didn't add up!
Basically there waz so many flaws in their case and statements which I 'ighlighted in court.
The judge seemed very intelligent and fair. I really like judges, I find they always are very intelligent individuals who really take the time ter do their job brilliantly and properly... the opposite of most politicians.
The judge seemed on my side but a still couldn't be sure until 'is verdict. But the other side's case waz a complete mess... the judge ripped into them... I think it waz obvious they were telling lies.
The best part waz when summing up 'e pulled out 'is 'ighway Code and started preaching rules regarding roundabouts and HGV's ter the claimants!!!!!
Then 'e dimissed the case and actually started to ask what my expenses are and awarded me expenses!!!!!
A couldn't believe it all!!! A tell yer maybe there's a god after all!!!!!
Maybe BAD 08 is behind me and 09 iz going ter be good!!!!
The judge really 'as restored my faith in 'uman nature... it would 'ave been such a bitter pill ter swallow if i'd lost the case, especially since a waz innocent and the insurance company 'ad even done the dirty on me too!!!
Sometimes yer start ter feel yer cursed when all these bizzare bad things keep 'appening ter me from last year!!
On my way out of court I quickly said ter the judge "thank you so much, I really can't tell you enough 'ow grateful I am for your decision, thank you!!!!!"
Maybe 09 is gonna be my year at last!!!!!
Chow ter ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POLPERRO - the hair collected in the drain of the shower (and Polperro is so lovely really!)
#123 - super bp - it will take AGES! but partly that is so they know how long it takes/took you to recover as the amount paid depends on how bad the injury was/is. course, it also takes ages cos insurance companies often delay so they don't have to pay out anything or argue for the sake of it!! unlikely to settle anything till it is clear exactly what the after effects are/were.

Good Morning .......
Great blogging last night gang. I thought I was all laughed-out but having read your shennanigans from last eve, there's still some laughter juice in the Diva tank yet!
Well. Where to begin with last night??
Had a lovely meal with bonkers girlfriend in pub en route to theatre. Then platonic male friend (someone I used to work with, hottie) arrived. We've not seen eachother for about 3 years but "speak" regularly on email/FB etc. Had a quick catch-up, intros etc then piled in his car (leaving mine at pub - result!) and toodled off to the theatre.
8pm. Support act Mister Gee was fantastic. Not everyone's cup of tea being a hip-hop poet but he was really funny. Had us in stitches about gang culture on the internet, drive-by pokes on FB and things of that ilk.
8.20 pm. Interval. Very very loud Smiths blasted over the PA. Mr Brand backstage, doing his very best Morrisey thing, possibly on the phone to Paul McKenna as is the norm before 95% of his live performances.
8.45 pm. House lights down. Crowd go bonkers ...... enter stage left Mr Russell Edward Brand.
OMG! He's wearing (from the bottom up) shin-high lace up boots which aren't laced, so flapping around his mid-calf area, tight black rouched leggings, a cotton-jersey little black dress (yes, really!), a long black flowy scarf tied nonchalantly round his neck and the whole outfit is finished with a skinny black leather jacket. Died and gone to heaven - Russell. In leather. In front of me!!!
And off he goes. Running with the whole Sachsgate episode, his hero worship for Jonathan Ross, running towards a precipice but not stopping at the edge, Manuel, the Daily Mail, the MTV VMA Awards and those tumbleweed moments, his "admiration" for Dame Helen Mirren ..... and on he goes. Pure unadulterated comedy gold.
There was a tiny percentage of the material I'd heard on his radio show (Tim Westwood / Easter Egg / Porridge story for his radio show fans among you).
My highlight of the night was when he was playing a video of him and Jonathan Ross singing into Mr Sachs answerphone, during which time he came and sat on the egde of the stage, foppy boots and gangly legs a-dangling. Our seats were actually in the 2nd row and there was a space for a wheelchair in front of me, but no wheelchair - just a BIG gaping vast space. As the video of Ole Russ digging himself deeper into the doo-doo played on a big screen in the background, he caught my eye and pointed back at the screen then winked, as if to say "this is a good bit, this".
Hottie sitting next to me dug me in the ribs with an "oh gawd" expression and then said "well, that's made your night".
How right he was!!!!
He was better this time than the last, and I believe if you look up the word "Egocentric" in the Dictionary it will just say "Russell Edward Brand".
I'll leave you with this thought, courtesy of Mr Brand: what happens if you google the word "Google"
;-)

Chezwah!
V.happy for you having read the Blog/review.
V.depressed, not having tickets.
You paint a very good picture with words, I can see him giving you the old, no doubt exagerrated wink!
Are sure there's not something that you haven't told us...as it is well documented that the walk around he does is not so much a meet and greet with the audience within his reach, as an audition for post gig 'meetings'!

Sachsgate appears to be one of those rare events where everyone wins.
Ross's career does not seemed to have been harmed, he's back on TV and radio and presenting the BAFTA awards. He also got a nice long holiday.
Brand has got out of a show he didn't really want to do anymore and has a load of new material for his shows.
Douglas has fallen on her feet. Did it give her a convinent way out after having got as far as she could with R2?

Lost the rest.....
A whole new audience has been introduced to Manuel and Fawlty Towers.
The Daily Mail has been able to fill acres of newsprint with righteous indignation, which is what it likes to do best.
So all in all a right old result.

Good moaning blogging folks,
I've had an epithany this morning.
I'm giving up the ciggies. I've attempted to do it before, but to be honest it was only half hearted at best.
Well, this time, I'm going for it. For a start it's obviously bad for you (yes I know) and it's too expensive, and quite frankly I've had enough.
So, today is day number 1, and I'll keep you all clued in to how it's going.
You can be my on-line therapy crew.
Cheryl, you celebrity ligger you :)

Tobes, an 'epithany'. Is this what you have when you decide to stop smoking?
That could be the WOD (see cornishgirlie)...
Good luck matey (I'm not stopping) I'm sure most of us will be right behind you!

Well, obviously that should read 'epiphany'......
....it's the lack of nicotine making me spell improper like :)
"a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something. A moment of revelation and insight."
I've already got my 'money formerly spent on that horrible addiction that can now go towards the bar bill at Donington' pot.
It's currently only got five pounds and forty pence in it, but let's see what the total is after and beyond cracking the dreaded weed.

ps I forgot my pass this morning and the bus driver was gonna charge me £10 as I only had a £20 note. After I'd finished sobbing to him that this is all the money I had in the world, and that my month's pass was at home in my other coat, and I was SOOOOOOO sorry to be presenting him with the aforementioned score...he gave me all my change in £1 coin...and then changed some of it back up for me into a magic £10 when I got off...so not all bad then!
Am having a bonkers bus week I feel.
No.7 mainly.
