The often dubious, politically incorrect and mainly humorous musings of Ms Jane Turley, (Ex) Housewife Extraordinaire.

Me and Mr Grant

I saw across him across the car park. He was just coming out of the doctor’s surgery. He looked handsome, debonair and charming as he always does. My heart fluttered.

A thought flashed across my mind that maybe he was being treated for bipolar disorder… quickly followed by the even more worrying thought of erectile dysfunction.

But as our paths crossed I was captivated by his sparkling blue eyes, his lean body clothed in a dark grey suit and open necked shirt. His casual elegance.

He smiled.

I smiled.

“Hello,” I said shyly.

“Hello,” he replied, his smile breaking into an enticing grin.

“I trust you’ve not got bi-polar disorder?” I said.

“No, indeed,” he laughed. “Just a small problem, easily rectified.”

I glanced down at his pants.

He laughed and said something witty.

I said something witty in reply.

He said something even wittier.

I said something even more wittier.

“Wow,” he said. “Your the funniest woman I’ve ever met.”

“So you’ve not met Graham Norton then?” I quipped.

“Hmm. Point taken.” He grinned again. “You know, I’ve never met a woman like you.”

“Neither have I,” I replied. “Which is lucky as otherwise I’d have to share my inheritance.”

He laughed again and reached out and touched my face.

“You have the most amazing eyes,” I said as he ran his finger down my cheek.

“You have the most amazing…bottom,” he said, as his hand strayed to my thigh.

“Oh gosh,” I replied, my knees shaking. “No one’s ever said that to me before!”

He slid his arms around my waist.

I wrapped my arms around his neck.

We moved closer together. Our lips were just about to touch and….

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Yep, Mr T’s alarm clock went off.

Sod it. Sod it. Sod it. Why do things like that always, always, happen to me? The only time I get a decent dream where I’m not been bashed to death by a lunatic with a Le Crueset saucepan or drowning in a sink of stinky dishwater and it has to be ruined by Mr T’s alarm clock. Humph.

I’m lodging a formal complaint. I demand some flattery of my bottom or I’m moving out.

A to Z: B is for Badass Brits.

Now, when I think of Badass Brits, I think of the likes of Jason Statham and Vinny Jones. Men with humble, working-class backgrounds who’ve made good and have a reputation as hard men in films. The kind of men who, 100 years ago, might have worked 12-hour shifts down the mines and still come home and dug the garden over.       Not like our present PM, Keir Starmer, who keeps trying to pass himself off as the son

A to Z: Age is for Ageism

So, I reckon we should start off the A to Z with a rant on ageism and generally being old (read f***** over for the less sensitive amongst you.)   I know it’s hard to believe, but I started writing this blog in 2007 when I was 42. This makes me a dinosaur amongst the blogging community (i.e., I’m verging on the extinct), and last month, I turned 60.   Now, I know the kinder amongst you will be saying, “How

New Website

After 18 years on another CMS, I have moved my blog to a more versatile platform. However, it will take some time while I perform some jiggery-pokery to get it exactly how I want it. So please bear with me as things fall off the page, are posted upside down and so on. It has also beome apparent that I will have to edit hundreds of posts as importing them has screwed up all the post layouts, especially paragraphs. This

A Chicken Nugget A Day Keeps Justice Away

I have been forced. Yes, forced to come out of blog hibernation to comment on the latest scandal to hit the UK. God knows I have been tempted multiple times in the last few years to comment on some of the insane things happening in the UK and in the world, but sadly, life has just thrown too many curve balls at me. But today, I can take no more – I cannot keep my mouth shut any longer over

My Nominees for the US and UK Elections and Other Waffle

It’s the early hours of the morning, and I have had a large gin… Late-night alcohol is always a good recipe for writing gibberish. And I have not written gibberish for a while on my blog as I have been busy writing gibberish for my MA in Comedy Writing. Which I recently passed with a distinction. Yay! Yes, it transpires that even academics can be fooled into thinking gibberish is genius. Excellent. So anyway, I have written two sitcoms, a

Less is More (well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it)

I’ve been practising my haikus, which you may recall, I’m not particularly good at. However, I wanted to address the woke issue in a concise, meaningful way as it is such a serious matter for discussion and particularly relevant to me as a comic writer. Which, if you know me,  translates as: 1) I’m too lazy to write a long analytical post. And 2) I’d rather watch a movie and eat tortilla chips. However, I feel obliged to say my

  1. I hope you gave the alarm clock a proper 'ticking off'( and that it lies in pieces under your beautiful roll-top desk)
    Appreciation of one's bottom, now that is real appreciation.

  2. True, true Sue. Appreciation of a bottom is rare indeed – or in my case non existent:) I think that particular dream rates as one one of my best ever dreams. I did once dream though that I was part of The Professionals TV series- but that was in about 1978. Sadly, there's not been that much excitement since then…..

  3. No idea Martin – let's face it I'm middle aged and my hormones are up shit creek. It won't be long before I wearing Jesus sandals, robes and wearing olive branches in my hair! Insanity is only a short distance away….
