Late Nigh Walks
There can be nothing to make you feel more ancient than young people who had out flyers for city centre night clubs avoiding you in the street. These pretty long legged sexy chicks saw husband and I approaching and almost got hit by a speeding car to make sure we weren’t...
The Handbag and the Pliers
I recall our first wedding anniversary as if it were yesterday. We ran a pub at the time and we both got out of bed to them smell of coffee emanating from the coffee maker which was on a timer and spluttered to life every morning at 9am. The radio clicked on and Fat Larry’s band sang ‘Zoom’. It...
The Acid Trip, the Robbers and Nancy the Dog
Back in 1982 we owned a bar in the East End of Glasgow. It was the kind of place that Hollywood directors would later spend millions of pounds recreating when they made films about the birth of New York . It was a back street hellhole; the customers wouldn’t have...
The Samaritan’s
There is a wonderful organisation here in the UK called The Samaritans who are on call 24 hours a day; they listen to people who are on their hunkers and at their deepest darkest despair. Sometimes people just need to talk, it doesn’t have to be suicide it can be about bullying, worries...
What Women must never do or say
Following on from the previous blogs about what men must never do or say – here is the female equivalent! Women must never say to men- · Can you actually see your penis when you look down, or does your tummy hide it? ·...
Flybe Are Shit
Flybe airline in the UK have driven me to near screaming. I was booked to fly out of Glasgow on the 9am flight to Southampton to do comedy from the Thursday till Sunday. So I got up at 7am and made my way to the airport all sleepy headed and irritable. (I don’t do mornings)....
What men must NEVER DO
To follow on from my last blog that I had so many comments about, so I thought I would add on. Here are some examples of what men must NOT do. Men must… Never buy Lavender talcum as a birthday present, and then after the screaming has finally abated...
What Men Must Do
A mate called me last week and as she is single she discussed certain things a man must DO and NOT DO to be on a list of possible boyfriends. Now I thought this was awful but then I realised I too have an agenda that my man must follow. For example, I know I could never have married or...
Imagination
I think I make a good friend to my close pals. Though according to very reliable sources I exhaust people, I talk too much and I don’t really listen. This last bit could be true as I know that sometimes when people tell me their problems I am mentally redecorating their...
Middle Class Hypocrisy
The latest news in the Team McCann story is gripping the UK . You will probably know the story about Madeleine McCann. Madeleine went missing from her holiday flat in Portugal on May 3 rd when her parents left her and her two younger siblings alone as they had a dinner...
Old Dogs & Comedy
On Saturday husband and I drove through Anstruther; it’s a small fishing village in Fife . Home to the UK’s best fish and chip shop and near enough to St Andrews’ for us to seek accommodation for the night when I was playing the Byre Theatre. We decided to stop when I...
The Lake District
Husband and I took a short break down to the beautiful Lake District . The weather was awesome and so amazing. The place is so startlingly lovely. The rolling hills that line the stunning lake make a great backdrop to Bowness in the Lake District . The down side is that...
The Poof the fluffy dog and Ella
Many years ago I used to hang out in a wee Italian Café in Shettleston where I was born. It’s a small place Shettleston; it’s the kinda place where if the full moon gets reflected in the local pond, people threw in dead cats to see if they will be resurrected in its magical waters. I...
Cats I loved
My Niece Ann Margaret has a cat called Squeak. Apparently it’s her daughter Abi’s cat, but we are not sure. What I am sure of is, the cat has a personality disorder. It goes to its litter tray, does a wee shit, and then instead of scratching the litter over the shit, it turns around...
Age got me
I never thought I would be old enough to buy a face cream for wrinkles…and today I did just that. It sort of crept up on me without me knowing, did age. It sneaked in during the night one dark winter and slipped into my left knee and sustained it creaky. One sunny day as I squinted at...
