Cheers Chris - have a good rest and we will be back here waiting for you when you get back

This comment has been referred for further consideration. Explain.

AW Chrissy, you take good care of yourself and Tash and have a lovely break. I don't like it when you're not here but I'd rather have you back all perky and raring to go again.

Thanks for everything you do, you're brill

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.

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

I knew that would happen!.....here's my mis-timed post agian....

Hiya S_N_S - you good hun?

Have a good week of Chris, gonna miss you loads. I think Terry is off as well, so it's not going to be a great start or end to my days next week. Enjoy and relax Chirs, and roll on when you get back.

CTD - Take a deep breath about FB, count to 30 and try again.

Happy Birthday Tiggs, not officially met you yet but have a good one.

I'm outta here at 2:30pm, early finish on a Friday. Have great weekends everyone and thanks again for the warm blog welcome.

happy birthday tiggs - hope mr tiggs treats you like the lady you are!

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"

Its in the car, hubby has the car, and hubbys gone to work ! Ahhhhhhh

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

Have a great rest next week chris! Who's steering the ship in your abscence?

ARF - ALASKA - Tiny Spark

Happy Birthday to tiggs

Would love to join you all tonight,

LVA - why do you have a german keyboard?

Another Snow Cloud rising over hills!

Quack

Oooh, leaving early on a Friday, if only! Still, if boss gets outta here by 4.30ish, I might be right behind her hehe.

Steve, hope the heating in the shed is firing on all cylinders, it's colder than a very very cold thing here today!

Dook, get out there and flap your wings and send it darn sarf - we'd love a bit of snow!!!!

Happy Birthday For Tomorrow Tiggs!! xXx

ps can I have some of the snow, but only after I've got home tonight? And can it be gone again by Monday? Thanks.

AF xx

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Tiggs!

I lay in the bath listening to the PM and was pleasantly suprized by him asking people in trouble to stay behind after school so he could try to help.

CLP try to have a good break and enjoy yourself. We'll all miss you loads. And when you get back it will be 4 sleeps to my birthday and my trip to NYC... I'm not really getting that excited honest!!!!!!

Snow is wasted way down south! a slight covering and panic set in and iy nrvomrd s mjot nred rbrny
- oh what happend there? meant to type ...
it becomes a major news event.

When it arrives - embrace it and enjoy it - don't travel unless you have to, and most of all respect it.

Quack

Very good Cheryl,

But I clicked on your FB profile and you were not there.
I saw your blatant cherry picking act on mine though. LoL.

Steve.

I've disappeared again JTT. one minute i'm there ... the next .. gone!

I think it's them not me.

Maybe they can't cope with Lola .....

Young Christoph . . .

Aled & Tog M has to be the ARF . . .

Happy Friday everyone,

Am in a fabulous mood as one of my friends from Uni days has just announced that she's three months pregnant and as she is the first of us to reproduce it is extra exciting and has given me a massive case of the warm fuzzies!!!

Good news that CLP will retain his employment!! Another reaosn to be cheerful.

There is a suggestion for ARF Friday in there - Reasons to be cheerful by Ian Dury and the blockheads?

Does the Blog n Post serve mulled wine? could just do with a wee winter warmer!

or could easy go a hot chocolate!

I remember a great wee coffee shop in Ayr called Honey Pot (winnie the poo themed!) and it made THE greatest hot chocolate with proper whipped cream that always ended on the tip of my nose!!

Quack

Well as Mr B has just flipped and gone down the garden singing (and dancing) Bring me Sunshine - that had better be my ARF!
although I would prefer Donna Summer!

My fingers are starting to freeze here in the shed - heating turned up.

Have a good week off Christoph - emotionally drained is worse than physically so have a good rest. Will miss you. oh bums Tezza off too waaaahhh!

Beesmum xxx

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Tiggs xx

dook

I live in Austria,

Looking forward to the snow arriving,
At least there will be blue skies and sunshine when the snow is on the ground.

At least they know what to do when it does arrive, all transport always on time.

I thought Terry was only having a couple of days off mid week ???

Or was i still asleep when i herd that ?

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

"FOR YOUR LOVE" by the YARDBIRDS - first record for today please Chris!

I went to see them a couple of months ago with the brilliant Zombies and lead singer John Idan's an excellent Keith Relf soundalike!!!!

Enjoy your break next week!
SylviaB

Damn, I wish i was in Austria....

Wanted to go for our 10th anniversary but it didnt happen. Heres hoping for 15th perhaps ?

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

sorry - LVA. I forgot that you lived there - we had a brief discussion about Villach if I remember now!

Well back with SW. Latest snow up date is that at least 11 schools in the area have closed! - wish I was back at school!

Unfortunately snow not quite deep enough to warrant me going home early.

Any Take That fans?
They are at the Ricoh arena some time first week of June next year - tickets go on sale next week.

ARF She works Hard for a Living - Donna Summer



(not hehe)

Ahhh, but if i were in Austria how much colder would i be now ? and how many more cats would i need to strap round my middle to keep me warm on the school run ??

Fair point, i shall stay in Wigan.

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

Gill, I think CLP said yesterday he'd been in all week but doing the show from the Togs cruise Thurs & Fri .. but I might have been asleep too!!

Gill

Hope you do get the chance,
it is a lovely place with really nice people

Me being from north west they can not understand me.

ARF

Follow you Follow me Genesis

Saw them in Rome last year they are brilliant

A_F

The heating is going full bore.

Dookie,

I'll put the wine on the rad to warm it up . . .best i can do at this short notice i'm afraid :-D

I've just been thinking (scary i know) Maybe we should change the name of FNWC to Friday night BOoze Club seeing as there's not many drinking wine :-D

Steve :-D

Ok off on school run now, wish me luck.

Brrrrrrrrrr

Gill ~ The Wigan Lass

Dook
no appologises nessesary it was quite a while ago,


Gill
good luck

Ah thanks Steve. It did start off as a wine club, but it's been corrupted of late by that Susan one and her flippin' tiki bar. Cocktails indeed hmph.

Save a seat for me :-)

AF xx

Morning/Afternoon everyone. Much colder here today. Temps in the upper teens...... Snow last night (2-inches) and more on the way today and thru the weekend........

TGIF.........

ARF: I Need a Holiday....... Scouting for Girls.....

Bond? - I'm guessing that the US still uses degrees Fahrenheit as I wouldn't have thought upper teens as being cold!!!!

quack

back later people

better half as he likes to think of himself, just rang and me meet up with him for a coffee

see ya all later

l xx

I should really have text in last night, being a pet with something missing, - you know my brain!

Aw, Chris, You have a lovely holiday with yer missus, and yer wee dug, and yer bump.

Give Us Some "you give lurve a Bad Name", by Bon Jovi, Cause I do.....

I'm a BAD BAD BAD BAD Wummin.

DWNB

sorry should have said wants me to him for a coffee

Steve not a bad idea although Flower Annie and meself prefer the old vino!
Anyone seen Annie?

BM xxx

Have a good holiday. My baby Bella Hope was one year old on monday and I love her and Lizzy her mum loads.

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.

Shimmeron xxx

Hi Dook, Yup no metric here...... So when in a few weeks/months when I say the temp is in single digits or minus numbers you'll know it's really, really cold..... And here comes the snow.......

Have a good week off Chris, recharge those batteries.....

Crikey James - how much snow have you got now another two ins and its still snowing?!

bs mum - perhaps she started early and is in the hot tup as we post.

ohhh - REM haven't heard them for a long time. must dig out Automatic for the People CD.

Quack

Ah, Chickle Pickle, I'd be giving my right arm to go in your suitcase...but then I'd be a bit stuck for playing deck quoits or similar...

It must be lovely to be going on hols, and I guess that lady going to Cuba is probably there by now...

Am sitting here full of home-made(?) burger, chips, slad and a half of organic cider, feeling all wistful.

yes, it must be lovely

Hi BeesMum, We probably had about 4 to 6 inches of snow (steady CtD). Good thing is the roads are pretty clear and some of the snow has melted in parts....

Gosh and darn it.

Meant to say

KISS

I was made for loving you

because I was

sorry, AM

that's better

Gosh and darn it indeed - flippin window cleaners have just this second finished and it is chucking it down with sleet - mostly rain and straight from the north so most windows are "getting it". grrr.

Lyndy don't you go near that tub on your own - sounds like you need chaperoning now!

Sounds chilly James - see you in the hot tub later!

Beesmum xx

OOOHHH! Dirty great big Black/dark grey clouds have popped up over the hills now!

Finished Manual (pen/paper) work
now for some filing :-(

Bondy - I really can't begin to imagine what you think of me ....

Tired and emotional. Wanna go home and play in the snow. But I can't. Coz we ain't got no snow.

Boooooooooooooo

Good afternoon mr Bond,
How good a line is that,
you being stateside an all,what is the current situation with the Boeing strike over there.
We have caught up with our arrrears so would be good if they would be kind enough to go back to work now,don,t want to bring all the sub contract back inhouse as may involve job losses for the sub contrators.

Steve

Hi Steve,

Love the opening line......


From what I understand from the strike, they've reach a tentative deal although with the economy the way it is, this is not a good time for industrial action.... For what it's worth, the deal includes a 15% pay rise..... it's that nice.....

Welcome to the blog Wbeatty.

CtD, oooo I know..... Yes that's right I know....wink, wink..... I'll send oyu some of our snow......

BeesMum, See you there, I'll probably need a warm up.....

We're going out tonight but i'm so tired i think i might nod off when we get there!

only another 4 weeks of mr diva's overtime then back to normal sleep patterns!!!!

Sounds like you need a power nap CtD...... We'll try and keep the noise down while you take a quick 30 winks..........

shhhss - don't tell anyone - i'm sneaking out of the office as i have worked extra hours all week and boss is on holidays

power nap!?!? with lady boss in the next office??? you'd be able to hear my sleepy-snuffles in the silence ......

lovely idea tho.

thanks for all the birfday wishes everyone!
tiggs xx

I think you need to nip out the back door with Bagpuss......

I'm gone - see you all monday (if not tonight)

We'll save you a spot in the hot tub....

007

Cats and water - never a good mix.

Diva x

CtD, Fun to watch though....... So new captain at the gooners?????

I've been thinking (yes, yes .. that explains the tiredness .. yada yada yada) ...

When (if) Jonathan Ross returns to Radio 2, will he still be as edgy, flirty, norty as before? I think not. This saddens me immensely - it just won't ever be the same again.

Diva x x

007 - yeh. Me!

CtD, Now THAT would be good viewing. I am sure there would be not player temper tantrums, no silly wotsits, and a few more English players in the starting XI.... Although they may object to the new all leather kit.....

........and playing in chains might be awkward!

Altogether now...
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Tiggy,
Happy birthday tooooo yoooouuuuuu!

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.

ARF - still backing Phoenix - Nothing's going to stop me now, Starship. Hmm, that looks a bit formal, should be gonna I think.

A x

LOL 007 and derbyfi ... now there's a thought! Leather jackets, lace has to figure somewhere and the pre-match anthem would have to be Don't Stop Me Now.

Of course, fellow Gooner MW,a! would be my second in command and we would have to quality control the player with one of those fine tooth comb things. Or any grooming device that came to hand really (Phoenix .... maybe you can help there ? ?)

Gosh! That's woken me up.

boleyngirl - love your style!! Pester Power gets Wogan and Jones (Tog That?) to No.1

An hour and ten mins left at the mausoleum .... then it's FREEDOM!!!!!

LOL derbyfi.........

I forgot, Happy Bird Day Tiggs.

boleyngirl, Well done with teach the kids the next xmas no 1...... Here the schools would have a fit because it's not holiday neutral......

Haha, well done Boleyngirl!!

Well the office is almost deserted. If only my boss would decided that enough is enough for one week, I could go too. Stuff in the car boot, driving shoes on, just waiting, waiting, waiting.......

AF xx

ps Bagpuss, surely if you worked extra hours you don't have to sneak? Unlike me, who has worked no extra time at all tee hee.

CtD, you don't work for Marley and Marley do you....LOL

Bondman - neutral schmootral!

X

You know them 007 !!! See - there's Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchett over there in the corner, crowded round that candle to keep warm ......

Boleyngirl, I totally agree........

what on earth is "holiday neutral" ???

Happy Hanuka!

Right! Its gone rather dark outside, snow still on the ground and temperature is dropping....hmmmm.... I think I'm going to depart now before it gets too busy on the roads............see these comuting farmers they just are demons on the road! and don't get me started on the reckless roaming sheep!!!!

Sorry Steve may have to pass on the warmed wine - at least it will be a room temp for anyone else. Going to snuggle down in front of open fire with doggies, moggies and Mr. Egg - providing he hasn't found me anything else to do (if he has whats the betting it involves being outside and water!!!!)

Tooodle Pip

Quack

LOL CtD, I have visions of the Muppet Christmas Carol film and you.....LOL "Heat Wave......"

Bye Dook, drive safely and have a good weekend.

CtD, something like that.......

CtD, you can have Christmas day off but make sure you come in early on Boxing day to make up for it. Get back in your cupboard and stop complaining about the cold - if you will wear those silly fingerless gloves what do you expect?

A x

We have our office Thanksgiving luncheon today so I will probably miss the first song on ARF, would some please post what was played.... thanks

boleyngirl..... you tell CtD.... bad diva, bad.....LOL

007- you're so American! xx
