Introducing Miss Pixie Lott

I’ve got so many blogs waiting to write – if only I had more time! I could write one every day but I’ve got too much to do – take for example this morning I have a tennis lesson with the lovely young Simon which (cough, cough) must take priority…… well you know my backhand does need improving… and of course I’m doing this for the boys so that I can play better with them as its become rather embarrassing being beaten by a 10 year old. And of course one day I also hope to beat the lovely Mrs D, my friend the tennis coach, in a game of finely tuned skills, strength and cunnning strategy. (Calling all her shots “out” and cutting the strings on her racquet.)

After tennis it’s the hairdressers where I will be humbly apologizing for forgetting to go to my last appointment which was March 5th. I don’t normally bother making appointments in advance because I have a habit of ..well..forgetting. But I thought I’d be able to remember that one as it was the day before my birthday and every gal wants to look good on her b-day doesn’t she?

Well every gal except me obviously. Now that I look like Worzel Gummidge I thought I’d better have it cut. Blimey Mr T doesn’t realise how lucky he is having a wife who hasn’t had her hair cut since January!

Have you noticed that once I start writing I can’t stop? I only popped in here to introduce to you Miss Pixie Lott who at the tender age of 18 is forecasted here to be the next singing sensation. Have a look and see what you think!

Not sure? Let’s have another look…

Hmm… somehow I don’t think One Republic and Gary Barlow will be complaining.

See you all soon for some silliness!

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. Pixie Lott? What a great name! Her legs look very long. Can she go through doorways?

    Glad to hear you are working hard at the tennis and sorry to hear you’ll be grovelling to hairdressers. This is all very high-maintenance stuff and very challenging if, like myself, you don’t usually leave the kitchen.

  2. Yeah, Mrs B, those legs are amazing! I think the skirt should have been a little longer though. I didn’t play her new video because they’ve just made her up to look like at sex kitten – aka Christina Aguelaria (or however you spell it!) which I found diappointing as she’s only 18. I think they should have stuck with the more wholesome image.

    Yeah, what is it with the high maintenance women? Kitchen’s are far more interesting than the hairdressers and the beauty parlour….

  3. Yes, Pixie’s skirt IS a little, er, pixie-sized …

    Beauty parlours? No way! All that pampering by complete strangers who are paid to be your new ‘best friend’, and the vapid talk you get about holidays and such like. Eeeuch. (Thank goodness I’m not a ‘Trophy Wife/WAG’, eh?)

  4. Blimey, who would want to be a trophy wife Mrs B? Imagine just shopping and lunching out everyday. How tedious! And the sheer boredom at the health spa….. being forced to talk about your holiday in the Caribbean…….

    Dull, dull, dull!

    Btw; Fancy a trip to Primark?

  5. Quite so. They probably drone on about botox and all sorts. How boring is that?

    Primark? Absolutely! No ‘new best friend’ shop assistants in there! (No assistants at all, which is perhaps just the way we like it?)
