“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
When a man can publicly proclaim himself as a being who is Placed OVER/Higher than his wife and children – I’m done. Women ARE allowed to choose their own lives. If they choose to stay single and climb the corporate ladder – they can. If they choose to get married – they can. If they […]
Short Synopsis Del & Rodders are short of cash so Del (behind his brother’s back) persuades Denzil (a lorry driver with an empty lorry) to go on a Booze Cruise to France. Cheap booze that they give to the landlord of The Nag’s Head, which he can sell for a vast profit. And they’ll all […]
This is a true story. When we first moved here, I signed on at the local Job Centre because we had no money and my boys were in school. I did all the interviews. What is your trade? What is your work experience? etc. I never got a job – thankfully. I had a friend […]
I caused my husband (and he helped too by standing up to toast Queenie Liz – not the done thing at a posh Naval Dinner) to be charged (it was a black mark on his charge sheet) by his superior officers. How? Well. At these stupid events, no-one is allowed to leave the table before […]
Add that word to your personal dictionary ? BTW : Me and Billy share the same birthday. And a connection to Glasgow. Oh. He supports Celtic. Because he is Irish Catholic. (Sell-tick for the football team. Kell-tick for our race) I support Rangers. Because I’m a Protestant. Michty Me. I should’nae like him (?)
My brother’s wife is wonderful. A bit bunged up and unemotional. If she does NOT like some one she just calls them “TRICKY.” Whereas I’d freely splurge out my dislike with bad words. Much like my bro, her husband. Jeez. I’ve come across so many TRICKY people in my life. I’ve always coped with the […]
From BlunderWoman to Miss FunnyFanny BTW : In the UK the f8n8y word is very rude. It means the same as the word that rhymes with HUNT. Factual Fact! P.S. We called them bumbags. It always freaked me out slightly to hear the US peeps call them fannybags :o) P.P.S I had to stop reading […]
We have a local legend here. It concerns Caistor. A tiny town that I know quite well. I had MY U.K. office there. G.R.S Mead wrote a book about Simon Magus. And how the “Romans” crucified him in a small Lincolnshire town. OK. So after he flew around the Vatican and frightened all the men […]
This reminds me soooo much of my youngest brother’s laugh. Once he (bro) starts, we all start. Until we faint from lack of breath. I have a theory. Our NATIONAL game )football( has been hijacked/banned/wiped clean these past couple of years because us peasants can’t control ourselves. Y’all do wrong/horrid stuff? … Imagine 20 or […]
So far I’ve only ever been able to find 2 full episodes of this show on yt. But a new one has just been uploaded. Beef Wellington. Mmmm. My eldest son’s FAVOURITE meal ever. I do not cook it now because fillet steak is beyond my budget. And – we (me and son) both have […]
This was the name of the album. Spirits in the Material World – the name of the song. There is no political solutionTo our troubled evolutionHave no faith in constitutionThere is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world I’ll walk MY path. Y’all walk yours. And never the twain shall meet (?)
I’ve spent the vast majority of my life researching and questioning history. My writing friends used to ask me, decades ago, where did you get THAT info from? FACT. I once had a major online verbal fisty-cuffs with a “famous” published historical fiction writer about hygiene in the 17th century. She totally ignored my multiple […]
