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

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 of a working-class toolmaker when, in fact, his father owned the tool factory.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I do believe Herr Starmer knows a lot about tools. (I’ve heard he still works with them on a daily basis.) In fact, I heard he was able to build a cabinet with his tools, which frankly seems amazing given that rumour has it his tools are actually flaky cheap imports. They are definitely not power tools anyway.

 

Actually, I’ve heard Herr Starmer has more of an interest in hand tools, particularly vices and clamps. You can do a lot with vices, especially if you have a big hammer, a screwdriver, and maybe even a few attachments. In fact, given Keir’s family’s interest in tools, I’ve often wondered why he went into the legal profession when he could have gone into engineering in a bigger way. I mean, who isn’t interested in pistons and rods? I am. There’s nothing I like better than watching a firing piston. Hence, I spent so much time watching Thomas the Tank Engine with my kids. Secretly, I reckon Keir does too.

 

 

Yeah, so Kier is handy with tools. But is he a badass? A badass who will save the UK from terminal decline and cultural division?

 

 

Ah…probably not.

 

 

Yep, the UK is in terminal decline. It is so sad to see my birthplace, a land I have cherished and loved for sixty years, disintegrate into a cesspit.

 

 

But it’s not over yet. Something is happening. There is change afoot.

 

It whispers in the air. It sidles on the streets. And every now and again, it flickers on the faces of ordinary men.

 

Change is coming.

 

This change will not come from toolmakers or Whitehall civil servants. It will come from badass men like Jason Statham and Vinnie Jone—men who, like their forefathers, fought for Freedom and Democracy, for their women and children, for their King and country.

 

These will be the badass men in whose hands we, the people, will put our trust.

A to Z: Age is for Ageism
28 March 2025 10 Comments

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

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

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

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)
2 February 2023 7 Comments

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

"I just loved this book so much. Could not put it down once I started and definitely couldn't drink anything while reading it or I would have sprayed it all over my Kindle. I can't wait to read more from Jane Turley, a truly great author. My son and husband both just look at me strangely while reading cause I would just burst out laughing or tear up one minute or another. Very very good book."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for the lovely author event you did for us on February 20th. It was well put together and very interesting. You certainly kept the audience enthralled with your experiences of self-publishing."
Jane Gill, Bedfordshire Libaries.
"Concrete but mysterious, "No Returns" reads more like a prose poem, full of exquisite turns of phrase such as the deep purple essence dilutes to shadows of lilac bindweed, warm, inviting. This is a desperate woman's life in miniature, full of sexually poignant poetry and glimpse of everyday strangeness. A worthy winner."
Ray Robinson, AuthorCEO
“Wry and self-deprecating ....verging on verbal slapstick at times... packed with sustained intelligent humor and certainly funnier than most ....”

You know how women like to waffle on a bit? Well, every once in a million, one of them comes along that is so funny, you don't want them to stop. Not for a second. Natural talent combined with a great story makes this a must read. Buy it, believe me, you won't be disappointed."

"Having been a follower of Jane's Blog for a number of years I have learnt not to drink whilst reading her blogs having once sprayed tea over my laptop with laughter. This book was no exception. For those with a weak bladder reading on the toilet or wearing TENA pants would be advisable."

"I could not put this book down until I finished it. Sandy life will make you laugh and cry. But her life is just like yours and mine. So many things to do and so many difficult choices to make. This is a comedy drama book that is a "must read.""
