Keith Chegwin blocked me on Twitter

WAH-HEY!

No, seriously.  *sad face*  He was one of my 1970's hero.  I yearned for the Multi-Coloured Swap Shop roadshow to rock up near to where I lived so that I could swap some of my old Mandy annuals for the board game Go For Broke.  I applied to go on Cheggers Plays Pop but never heard back.  I even bought the record "I Wanna Be A Winner" by Brown Sauce...



I followed Cheggers' Twitter antics when he first joined, logging onto his live twitter shows with him reading out some of my comments/tweets.  He even followed me back in August 2009 and I have the email to prove it...


Recently, I thought he had gone a bit quiet but never thought anything of it.  My Twitter stream is busy enough to keep me occupied and I can always catch up with a Swap Shop hero by switching Channel 4 on at tea time and see Noel Edmonds giving it large on Deal or No Deal (who, incidently, is like Andi Peters - he NEVER looks any older!)  But a retweet appeared in my timeline.  I wondered why I hadn't seen it myself? So I clicked on the @thekeithchegwin name and saw that I wasn't following him any more!

I shook my fist at Twitter.  Damn you, Twitter for randomly unfollowing people. My life is incomplete without a few cheesy celebrities to brighten up my timeline and thought that Keith maybe wondering why he couldn't DM me but was too afraid to ask.

Then this appeared:


I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

BLOCKED?
ME?
QUEEN OF TWITTER?
What ON EARTH could I have done to offend Cheggers?  *very confused face*

Some of my followers stepped up to torment me with tales of DM's from Mr C.  You know... a lick-your-finger-and-draw-a-1-in-the-air type of teasing tweet.  But kudos to me at the end of the day.  Cheggers has had to read my tweets, allow himself to get annoyed enough with my inane ramblings and blog updates (his 69 tweets versus my 76,000+ tweets), navigate to my page, click the block button and carry on regardless.  You got an auto-DM.

*smug*

Always find the positive in a situation.  WAH-HEY!

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
