How many fights can I have?
There I was dragging my slightly sick ass into town to take back a gift that I bought husband. Ok…here’s the story…I bought him a fancy silver case that I thought contained a beard trimmer, what it actually contained was a hair dressing set. This I should have known because the...
So that was Christmas…
We had the most wonderful Christmas lunch that my daughter cooked. She made this wonderful lamb joint with the crispiest roast potatoes, for dessert we had a homemade pannacotta with fresh berry compote! Where did she learn to make that? I was impressed. The downside is, I haven’t been...
Abi at the Nativity….
My wee three year old great- niece Abi went along to watch her big brother Shaun at his school Nativity. Her mum is my niece Ann. Ann has three kids, Shaun, Abi and Julia. She recently got married to the father of Julia but has two different fathers to Shaun and Abi. Her husband is...
Seeing my brother…
I had to go through to Falkirk yesterday to catch up with my lovely brother who not only has HIV, he now has cancer but is fighting it well. Mij has had various drug issues in his past and this combined with the HIV and cancer would make many a man crumble…NOT my crazy brother he is just...
What a day!
I met up with an old pal called Big Betty. I knew her from my pub days and she is a right funny character. She asked me all about my work in comedy and loved chatting about my autobiography as she recalled all the incidents in my past. I decided to open up my laptop and show her some of my...
Christmas Shopping is Evil…
I cannot believe that I actually went into town on a fucking Saturday this near to Christmas with a ten year old boy. My nephew Shaun and I had to keep each other company as his mother went for his ‘Santa gifts’. Shaun explained that he knew Santa wasn’t real and that his mum...
Blood, sex and tears…
Well there was blood, last night as I was compere at Glasgow Jongleurs I decided to leap off the stage as I brought on the first act and promptly crashed to the floor and ripped a big hole in the knee of my tights and blood seeped out of my flesh. The good news is NO ONE saw it as the...
My embarrassing Moment with a pop star!
I had a great night in London at the Crown Lawn party; I was so excited to go to a Christmas Lunch with the lovely Angela and her friends. Angela’s business is property and you have no idea how much I appreciate the accommodation she provides me for me in London…..I kid you not Madonna and...
I Love New Zealand…
I got an email from the New Zealand Comedy Guild; they let me know that I have been nominated ‘Best International Guest’ regarding the show I took over there in May this year! How lovely is that? I find out who wins the award on 17 th December. I am up for the award with...
The Things my Brother told me…
My brother is going through chemotherapy; he is facing up to the illness with amazing bravery. He still makes me laugh as he is as mad as a fucking squirrel on smack. Mij has had drug problems for most of his life and lives on Methadone which is supposed to help wean him off heroin,...
Christmas Card
Have a wonderful Christmas and very prosperous 2007 From Janey Godley & Daughter Ashley
My Tree is Up!
I conned husband into dragging the tree up from the downstairs cupboard. I just pushed it onto him, we were passing the cupboard and I said “Can you go in there and pull out my tree and decorations and help me carry them up, I am so small, I can’t lift it” I looked all forlorn and...
Tracing my family Tree…
I have spent the last few days tracing my roots. It has been hugely interesting and to be honest very revealing! For instance my new baby niece Julia is a long line of Julia’s that stretch back to the early 1800s. My dad’s gran was a Julia, her mum was a Julia and her mum was also called...
