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

Master Sy and Mrs T get silly

I apologise now!

Sometimes I just can’t help being politically incorrect. Especially when I get into conversations with Master Sy. Here’s a conversation with Sy that we had by email the other morning when probably we both should have doing something more constructive. It pure adolescent behaviour but well I guess it made me laugh – quite a lot! If you’re the type offended by a little political incorrectness read no further!

Mrs T; Were you Googling yourself yesterday Sy?

I had an amusing hit …”Turrets syndrome and air traffic control…”

Sy; Was I Googling myself? Nope!! I actually did some work yesterday! Rare I know, but hey!

Turrets syndrome? Where do these people learn to spell!!

Mrs T; Okay …that was my spelling! Just a rare slip up of course…………..

Umm…how do you spell it??

Sy; It’s #******! Tourettes.

*#*#. BOOBS! *#*#.

I dunno what the fuss is about…I think it is an awesome disease.

Mrs T; Classic Sy…classic….

Of course its #****** Tourettes what was I a*** thinking big b**** off?

Sy; I used to know someone who had it. Its hard for them…put entertainment for us.

BIG HAIRY NUTS***K!

Mrs T; Man, you were lucky to have a friend like that! I’d die just to have a mate like that!

Hours and hours of sheer unadulterated #******………………

Sy; He was awesome. He couldn’t help it, naturally, but he understood that being a child, I had to laugh and he would end up laughing at it too. Maybe it helped him learn to live with it…maybe he hated me for it! Who knows!!!

Mrs T; I just checked – whoever it was did Google “turrets syndrome and air traffic control”. That’s obviously where the spelling got into my head.

But now I’m thinking…what if there is real air traffic control turret syndrome? Maybe air traffic controllers go mad after a while watching little blips on a radar? What if they start playing Space Invaders?
Maybe they run around clutching their heads screaming “No, no another blip, I just can’t take it! Somebody help me!” And then they throw themselves out the turret window and are splattered on the runaway and a Jumbo 747 runs over them because the pilot is suffering from Cockpit Syndrome?

What d’you reckon?

Sy; I can believe that would be some kind of problem they would have, but I am thinking that they would maybe find that they see the dots on the screen and run to the anti-aircraft turret and see if they can “land” it on their own. This would be a great stress reliever as everyone loves playing space invaders!

Mrs T; Do you think when they’re “landing” they wear they those funny hats and make “Vroom, vroom” noises?

Sy; I know that the pilots do. Captain Giggles from Bigglesville always wears them.
I am very sure that the ground movement guys make the vroom vroom noises as they tow the planes from the stand!

Did I ever tell you about the emergency has we had when I worked at ********? The server room was past a load of different departments, so if something went wrong, one of us put a yellow hat with a big goose sticking out of it and another put one of those hats with the light on top and we would run towards the server room looking concerned. Serious? Of course we were!

Yes, I know it was childish but hey, sometimes even the most sophisticated people of (me, obviously) have to let their hair down.

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. Childish? That's about as sophisticated as I get! Almost all of that conversation was serious Mrs T. It was our "serious time" before we go back to talking about smut.

    *£^$&*"£^% *&£&^£(!"

  2. Dammit…I knew I was supposed to keep away from mentioning it…but you know, it is the staple part of my email conversation.
