“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.”
I have no idea if anyone is seeing these posts. I’ve been persona non grata for so long now that I’ve come to love that vibe. Even when I beg to be deleted…I’m ignored! Heyho. Stuart Adamson. BIG COUNTRY. Scotland is not big in the scheme of things…it’s just under-populated because of the hostile environment. […]

I’m freaking annoyed now. The Colin Dexter books were so very much more than a #MurderMystery. They were full of allegory/myth/legend/music/literature/language/puzzles/love/life/betrayal/wonder etc After watching the wonderful Kevin Whately video below, I wanted to re-watch divine, late John Thaw. Inspector Morse. The Masonic Mysteries. I can’t afford to buy the full DVD boxset right now. I […]

I blame my son! He’s 6ft6 and can take it! He’s the one who bought me wireless earphones for Christmas. SHOUT. SHOUT. LET IT ALL OUT. THESE ARE THE THINGS WE CAN DO WITHOUT… C’mon. I’m talking to you. C’mon. Even HE knows Tears for Fears. I’ve musicprogrammed them both quite well. SMUG :o)

I’ve had this on/off vibe with James Blunt. The name change is a give-away :o( If you listen to the stories of 1999 in Kosovo and having his guitar strapped to the outside of HIS tank you’d think he was a War Hero. My husband, my brother and several friends spent time Bosnia/Serbia/Albania. I worked […]

Yesterday – when I was put in kitchen isolation (actually, someone else took over puppy duty. I might’ve been slightly Sarah Bernhardt there!) I had the chance to join a live chat that was actually very pleasant. Well – I didn’t get banned or told to “Just Fuck Off, then.” I was asked if I […]
Read MoreI’m a little over the teenage age (!) but I still love Boyzone. I’d put Ronan Keating’s voice up there with Robbie Williams/Gary Barlow et al. OMG – I had to rewind and change to slowmo. In the first 16 seconds I thought I saw late Mel Smith, Harry Hill and Graham Norton. Did I? […]
