I May Not Be A Lady…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 16, 2010 | 6 Comments »

Recently, a very dear friend of mine, Olivia Mackinder, asked me on Twitter what my latest blog post would be about. I responded thoughtfully, “Femininity, Judgement and Listening.” “Quite an epic then!” She replied.  She wasn’t wrong. The truth is, there is so much going on in my life right now that I do not [...]

A Dialogue About Sex

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on June 22, 2010 | 9 Comments »

My throat is dry, my voice is shaking. It feels alien to me, as if it isn’t my own. It doesn’t sound like me. It sounds childlike. Fearful. I am uncomfortable. My solar plexus feels as if it will implode and somehow take me with it. How can I still feel so afraid? I feel [...]

Insult My Beloved Twitter, Insult ME…(Or #Twisps)

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on March 25, 2010 | 4 Comments »

This sounds like the start of a rant.  It’s not.  But I would dearly like to explain to those people* (who describe Twitter as a “total waste of time” or “a website for really self-absorbed arseholes”, but have never opened a Twitter account or if they have, spent very little time on it and expected [...]

An Ending/I Think I’m Turning Chinese

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on February 8, 2010 | 1 Comment »

*Peeks out from under metaphorical duvet*  Is it safe to come out yet? Recently, I was slapped in the face.  My assailant went by the name of JANUARY. There was I, happily floating along on a tide of tinsel, turkey sandwiches, kids high on chocolates from the tree, episodes of Eastenders and glances at the [...]

A Minute for Madeleine

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on November 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I know many of you will have watched this already today, but I feel it my duty as a parent to put it on my blog. I know that if I was ever to find myself in the horrific position that Madeleine’s parents found themselves in back on 03 May 2007, I would want every [...]

@janeprinsep on “Frittergate” and being offended…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on November 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday saw yet more media storm clouds break out over the Twitter landscape, this time involving my beloved @stephenfry. I am a huge fan of Mr Fry and have followed his “tweets” and his impossibly funny blog, for some time now. A self-confessed gadget and internet lover, he is one of the bigger “celebrities” behind [...]

Paullina Simons: I’m sorry for your loss…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

My favourite author is Paullina Simons, the most amazingly talented writer of many books including The Bronze Horseman. If you want to get lost in an amazing book, I really recommend this one, and its sequel The Bridge to Holy Cross. I am sad to learn, in Paullina’s blog, of her grandmother’s death, who was [...]

Jan Moir’s Weird Face

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

It’s Follow Friday on Twitter and during today’s Tweetathon I landed upon Derren Brown’s tweet regarding Jan Moir’s article for the Daily Mail about the tragic death of Stephen Gately. To say I felt a little sick would be an understatement. After a few hours spent breathing in the crisp October air during a lakeside [...]

The Hypersonic Head Squeal: A Theory

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have a theory. All unborn children up in heaven are lined up to be “programmed” before catching Storkjet to Earth and to their allotted parentage. Depending on the model of child required; “Basic” or “Advanced” (“Downright Difficult” being reserved for only the naughtiest of parents), 3 basic functions are installed into their mini-drives, as [...]

Time for a Kit-Kat and Bullet Points

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »

You know how it is. You find yourself lying on your bed in foetal position, your body shaking uncontrollably from gut-wrenching sobs, the door firmly shut on the outside world because it feels that everyone and everything in that world is taking you apart, piece by piece, and feasting on your soul, draining you of [...]
