Dark scary dreams…
At this time of the year, I always have deep scary dreams. It’s the stress of the fringe playing on my mind. This one was particularly horrifying. It started with my daughter’s best pal Victoria, she was standing in my living room and we were jokingly mocking her about a boy she had...
Can life get any more stressed?
Now not only am I having the worst period pains in my life, but I have to get packed up and move to Edinburgh and start doing my fringe shows. I had the most hectic weekend as well. On Friday night I did my comedy preview show at Kilmarnock, then went to the Central station and...
My Tribute Act
Yes I know it’s hard to believe but I actually have my own tribute act! That’s me and Billy Connolly has our own personal imitators in Scotland . I have arrived! He is a Scottish comic and he does a character called Senga McInally and it’s based on me. I heard about it...
Things I remember that make me snort with laughter
I remember about twelve years ago, I went to a private therapist to talk about the sexual abuse I had suffered as a child. I didn’t really want to go but was advised that it would help. This was a new age type of holistic therapy. But it was recommended and although I was hesitant I tried...
Daisy chains and shouting matches…
Well Glasgow is incredibly hot so I went to the park today to eat lunch and I actually made a daisy chain! I haven’t made one in years and it does take a bit of practise. At least I got some peace and quiet. I saw the feature of Ashley and I in the Sunday Times Ecosse...
The Great Floods and my history…
It seems Middle England is under water this week. Huge floods have swept across most of Cheltenham, Gloucester and other places that sound like building society’s in the UK . Scotland seems to be fine so far and I am not sure if we are under threat but there is a reason they...
A fight with a God botherer…
Glasgow has a pedestrian area where more often that not Jesus people come past, set up camp and shout about God. I had a small argument with them as the young boy with the microphone asked me if my life was perfect and I shouted “ Yes, I have no God to serve, I am good to people, I give...
I am an ambassador…
There is a new charity in Scotland being launched tonight called World HIV Aids Charity in Edinburgh and I am an ambassador. I am doing a speech and an auction, and I will auction the authors signed copy of the latest Harry Potter book! I may read the last few pages and spoil it...
Goats do things to sheep…I saw it with my own eyes!
We were passing a field the other day and there was a goat sucking on a sheep’s teats, well I hope that’s what it was doing, I hope I never witnessed sheep rape, I am not sure if it was a female sheep-anyway the sheep was trying to get away and goat was really insistent. Yuk. Whilst...
Beach time again…
Husband, Ashley and I went out to Balmaha beach on Loch Lomond . It is very nice but there are too many dogs running around shitting everywhere, despite a ‘dogs on leads only’ notice up in the car park. The stony beach overlooks the east side of Loch Lomond and it can be a...
I am panicking about age again…
Yes I am becoming obsessed with this subject matter. I woke up this morning and panicked as I realised I am nearly 50…well I am 46 and that’s fucking close enough. I recall the 80s like it was yesterday, I can tell you what I wore, who I voted, how I felt and what music I liked and...
Gulls must die…
My bed is directly beneath my window in our bedroom and we always have the window tilted open. This morning I woke up with screaming and screeching in my ear, I leapt to the floor and ran to the door when husband shouted “Its ok it’s a gull outside, not Ashley” I fell on the bed in a...
Surreal Dreams…
I have been having the strangest dreams lately. One took me back in time to 1974. I saw myself in a mirror in the dream and I recognised myself as a teenager back I in those days…it was really odd. I forgot how small and curly haired I looked. The strange thing was, I was 46...
Getting Old…
I am nearly very old and I feel it, I am 46 now and truly that is old for being a stand up comic, all the other comics who are female are mostly young and sexy. I know I am old because… 1) I actually use the handles on my bath and now stick my feet onto the bath non...

Trust me I am a doctor…
Is Dr Who going to be the only doctor from lands afar that we can now depend on? The latest news that terrorist cells are being established through the NHS with Pakistani/ Indian originated doctors in the UK is horrifying. Is Locum a new word for bomb? We have thousands...
I am a bad Mother…
Things are making me crazy lately; I always get freaked out this time of year as I prepare to go to the Edinburgh Fringe. The organisation alone makes me feel like I have to be one of those mystical Hindu Gods with seventeen arms and possibly two heads. Luckily I do have help, but I still...
Terrorist Attack on Glasgow…
Am sitting in Leeds chatting on the phone to my daughter Ashley, she was still in Glasgow and it was late afternoon on Saturday. She then told me that Glasgow had just had a terrorist attack. Two Asian men had rammed a Cherokee Jeep into the front of Glasgow Airport . This was...
