Oh What A Nightie Night.

Chris Evans | 11:30 UK time, Tuesday, 12 May 2009

Thank goodness I was...

... hosting the awards last night.

It's the perfect way to make sure you don't overdo it on the alcohol front. I had my first beer at 11.35 ! Now - as for the rest of the team... well let's just say I have had a very "interesting" chat with the producer. It seems the most creative thing that's happened in the office this morning is that Crackpot Craig has been sent out on a bacon sandwich run.

But what a team. The best, simply the best. As far is I am concerned they can have the day rest of the day off, they deserve it.

Two out of two for Drivetime and that of course includes - YOU.

I can't tell you how much your reaction is the wick that keeps our candle burning so brightly. We immediately know when something is flying or not from the tone, speed and energy of your feedback and as you pick up whatever it is we throw out there and take it forward - the next chapters often write themselves. There's no doubt we plant the seed but it is you who provide the sun and the rain.

I was in my dressing room just before the awards last night wondering if I would remember my opening few lines - when something inside told me take a time out to pause for a moment, realise how lucky I was and to say thank you.

"Four years ago I was going nowhere fast and now here I am with a beautiful wife an amazing son, I'm back in touch with my daughter, I have a job that I love - working with people whom I consider real friends, I'm about to host the industry's biggest night of the year and we are up for two awards into the bargain. It simply does not get any better. Thank you God."

And then we win !

So what next ?

Your guess is as good as mine - oh hang on I've just been told.

It's nappy time - mummy needs to go shopping and Noah has just presided over a minor explosion in the poop department.

Rock on you lovely listeners and on behalf of the team and the whole of Radio 2 - thanks again.

.XX.X.X.X.

Lord Chrissington of Berkshire signing off.

2009.

    Best programme of the day by far - and All Request Friday - what a hoot

    Keep up the good work - and Chris thanks for growing up!! It's great to see and hear how your life has turned round - but don't regret the past, it's what makes us all

    As you say, your life has changed beyond belief from just a few short years ago, but you are the one who has put in the work - in every aspect of your life - so the success is greatly deserved!

It is also lovely that you are a happy family man these days as my liitle man is 20 months old and it brings back all the lovely memories from last year when you talk about Noah. Maybe in another 20 years when I am an old fart you we can swicth over to radio 4 together ;-)

    Keep up the good work.

    PS
    Also sad to hear about The Mulberry fire. We went there when little man was 2 weeks old for our first wedding anniversary lunch. Was lovely and we often stop by now with him to play in the garden whilst we have a beer. Nice part of the world - why did you leave??!!

    well done Chris and the Team and yay to all the bloggers too.

    Not having a good day as fell down very heavily on my left hand in the work car park and got taken to a walk-in centre by security. Luckily my hand is not broken but all shook up so got sent home. Not all bad as i can read the blog during the day for a change!

    I too now have my life on track after a good too many years and it's abfab to say the very least. It's so very important to take time out now and again from our very busy lives to reflect how lucky we are.

    Anyhow, very windy outside here in sunny, hot Norfamps (the car rickter thingy says 18 degrees - what's that about?). Not a good day for having your hair done, but brill for the washing (which is still in machine btw GD!).

    Just thought that I would let you know that I did go to work this morning and it was fine. I did stop outside work just down the road for a bit while I sorted my head out, was a bit nervous.

    My boss was brilliant, my uniform is huge on me now and I didn't have to face many people. So back in tomorrow morning.

    I just about made it it to my group in time at the hospital and I achieved something quite good there too. Something that I have been avoiding for ages.

    Steffi b. 103.how far are you from W.S.M ?

    I took all me girlies along from where I live,

    the boss insisted that I used the 'S' type and

    we got there at 6 in the morning.

    I have never had such a brill day and no,I

    didn't even go in.

    We left later on in the day taking the opposite

    directional recommendations and hit the empty M5 south.

    And I was so glad that I had them all with me.

    Mine were only 15 and 16 so,if yours are older,then you wont have the concerns that i did.

    BUT,if you can go with them you too can have a good day out too,free and able to come back when you please.

    The shops in Weston are a treat during T4

    as they are all empty.

    Hi Boleyn,

    I assume that Ripples is a complex piece, with deep powerful undertones and a beautiful surface, which takes your breath away.....Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I bet it's more like the Guitar version of Chopstix.

    MTF - Long story - short.

    Leicester (Lyndyloo's team) finished the Guinness premiership top....London Irish (my team) finished third.

    The RFU now have the top four team play each other to reach a final (Leicester v London Irish) to decide who wins the premiership.

    I have profoundly disagreed with this since it's inception.
    This is the first year we have reached the final, and I in my pompous way refuse to recognise it or attend the final...that'll learn 'em!
    Anyway, I have been offered tickets and thought Lyndy might go as if Leicester win they really deserve to celebrate.

    Whatever happens, in my mind Leicester are the Guinness premiership champions, we came third.

    I said "in short" I failed!

    Adam - glad you approve of my outlook!

    I went to FB you the details of local beer festivals and you had disappeared. Weird.

    Anyhooo, there's a beer festival in town this weekend at the Institute Club. The Cider Festial at Chappel is 5/6/7 June, and the event of the year, Chappel Beer Festival is in early Sept. It'll be on their webiste.

    With the very recent exception of an evening on the Becks Vier, I can't do lager. Too gassy and makes you wee a lot. Ugh! No, a nice pint of real ale, proper cider (again not that commercial neon yuk you get in supermarkets - gimme a pint of Westons Old Rosie any day!) or a good pint of the Black Stuff from the Liffey and I'm generally a happy bunny!

    Failing that I have been known to sample the gin from time to time, as I'm sure fellow bloggers will testify!

    LM loves it there, did when I was an in-patient. Has so much fuss made of him and he seems to have a good effect on everyone there. Have no problems taking him there as it is nothing like a hospital more like a hotel!

    Not going on Debbie! And thanks for sharing all this with us, it's lovely to see you so positive after everything you've been through, and I'm sure you've helped the people you've come into contact with just as much as they've helped you. As for coping on your own, why should you when you have people you can lean on. I suppose that's a learning process in itself, learning that you're not alone.

    Well done you, we're all so pleased for you and proud of you every step of the way.

    Morning all,

    Been a bit busy but had a very quick catch up.

    MTF - persevere with FB, it took me awhile to get on but got there in the end. Not on there as much as the others and don't understand some of the things you can do but I've mastered the basics. I can't text very well either so its not surprising!! Go to one of the meets - it is well worth it. I've only been to one so far and like you was very nervous but everyone is great and really friendly - it was great fun.

    AF - sorry to hear about your accident -what a bad end to an already bad day, things can only get better!!

    Debbie - You are looking great and have achieved so much, lovely to see you back on here.

    5 piece male vocal ensemble and 3 girls plus band covering the hits of Four Tops, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Same Cooke, Martha Reeves , Supremes, Stevie Wonder etc.

    However....NEWSFLASH.....All could have changed now........
    I have a very broken hearted GD who was dumped for no apparent reason last night by her BF!!!!
    Spent most of the night consoling (sp), lots of hugs, tlc and sweet tea with the shock of it. After 13 months, she didn't see it coming. She cried buckets, I joined in and between us we were totally washed out by bed time!
    Glad to report that she got of the car at school this morning with her dead held high with a determination to be proud of (YES I AM!!).

    You never forget your first love do you? Speshly when you break up at 17. Brought back loads of memories which had long been forgotten.

    Much beloved now wants to go and punch BF's lights out when he gets back on Friday.

    I have just been to the gym then put the wine in fridge for later - is that like carbon off-setting?

    Also - how cool is this - the gym now have this key thing that records all your efforts - then when you sign out shows you on a pooter how far around the Tour de France you have biked, how far round the NY marathon course you have trotted and how much weight you have lifted - HOW COOL IS THAT!

    I'm in France at the mo', the weather at home doesn't look good - I'll try and put the sunshine in my suitcase and bring it with me.

    Congratulations Chris to you and the team. Over the years you have been through the mill and out the other side making you a better man who appreciates what you have in life. Maybe the song 'The only way is up' would be appropriate! Enjoy every day xx
