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

#AtoZChallenge 2025

Just a quickie….

Yep, I’m extraordinarily busy at the moment so my writing has suffered. The tennis and cricket seasons are in full swing which means I’m out every evening as usual but also almost the entire weekend with some sort of sporting affair. Also, Master Sam is in the middle of exams so during the day I’m ferrying him around too. Then with all those other things a mother has to do my precious time for writing has just been gradually dwindling away. I’m going to try and keep posting though-even if the posts turn out much shorter than usual. (Huge sighs of relief across the world.)

However, even with all these things going on I have found time for some sucking.

Yep, sucking.

Yep, Delmonte have produced a limited edition fruit smoothie lolly in the shape of Daniel Craig. MMMMmmm…. personally I like my lollies quite firm so I can give them a really good lick. The last thing a gal wants is a lolly that dribbles too much. Sooo messy! I like the purple head though..what a good idea doing pomegranate, blueberry and cranberry flavours. Yummy! And can you believe this ? They are only a 100 calories – wow I could suck on Daniel all day and still not gain any weight. Fantastic!

Well must dash… gotta stock up at Tescos before they run 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. Join the gang Mrs T . Too busy reading to blog.
    I did go through your last post and have to source the books from teh British Council.
    On the subject of Daniel Craig ice lollies what can I say except that, now that Im in my dotage I prefer Hugh Jackman . ( sigh)

  2. Sue,

    Well as much as I love writing it has to take second place to all my other responsibilites…no doubt that is the same for you and most of our blogging friends. Still, I can always find a time for a nice lolly:)

    Mrs G,

    I won't complain about Mr Jackman, whom I would happily suck. He's so delicious I might even indulge in a nibble:)

    Ahh..reading is good for the mind. (Unless it's my arch enemy Thomas the Tank Engine in which case it's good for the bonfire.)

  3. You're kidding! I guess I'll be like the other "commentors" and not take a bite either. 🙂

    I know what you mean about not having time to blog. Well, we at least now know what you're doing in your leisure time.

  4. Mr I,

    So you won't bite then? What a pity! It's so entertaining when you do!

    Miss Hyde – Very observant of you. And a jolly good question. It could be he's trying to ward off the chilblains on the other hand maybe the lollipop designer at Delmonte is making a subtle point. Ho hum.

  5. I'm not arsed about the lolly, but the bird looks very decent. any chance you can show us the rest of the picture? I just know she's standing in the buff next to the fridge door shouting over the breakfast bar…Christ this white wine is strong.

  6. Well Gary I'm sure she's wearing a white tee shirt over some silicone implants but just to placate you….

    I feel certain it's just a little white lacy number through which your beady eyes will no doubt pass…before they move to her twin wearing the black negligee who is particularly fond of nice creamy Cornettos…..

    Hmm…I'll leave the rest to your vivid imagination!

    Ps…A woman doesn't need to be tipsy to enjoy a nice lolly you know:))

  7. Mmmmmmmmmmm..!!

    Eegads. My poor blog is suffering too. trying to get through studies that NEVER END! and, a full house of visitors this summer..Can I come live with you when they arrive? hehe

  8. Miss Hyde,

    Again, I think you have a very interesting point….

    Tamera,

    Howdy! I hope those studies are going well…is there much longer to go?

    Well if you're ever in the UK you will be very welcome to stay; I could do with some female company. Since I'm outnumbered 4:1 a little female companionship from time to time is rather nice. (Bring paper towels though as the loo seats are always wet.)

    PB…I take it you object to these lovely lollies then?? Or did you want to offer your services to Delmonte?!

  9. I think your natural progression as a writer Mrs T is straight into porn. don't hold back now, just let it all go, and I, as a favour, will edit all your work for free. and of course proof all the pictures for your book covers etc. Friends, you see, always handy to have 🙂

  10. Hmm… all this coming from Gary, who is about to have a book published called "Streakers"!

    I tell you what – I'll check your book covers and you can check mine!!

  11. Welcome Walt to My Witty Ways. I hope you're feeling a little more chilled today:)

    I was momentarily disturbed on reading your blog that you are a fan of the (very talented) Mr Hasselhoff. Fortunately, I was reassured of your good sense by your liking for sophisticated conversation of which I am an expert:) Might I add that I particularly liked the picture of you stuffing your face with a burger – It's sooo refreshing when people are honest about their needs and wants:)
