SHE was awful, we got 9 our of 10.

The people who have most trouble with pronouns are almost certainly the same people who use "myself" when they mean "I" or "me".

At a quiz tonight and the quiz master sang the music round!

Utterly Betrayed   The Rt Hon. Ralph St John Cholmondley having moped around glolmondley for three weeks in Belvoir with glandular felvoir, decided to surprise his fiancé in Frome.   Bursting into the rome, he found her cavorting with an awick from Hawick (via Worcester), whose close attentions had left her all of a florcester.   His fiancé, who hailed from Beaulieu, begged him not to get upset undeaulieu, as Ralph stared at them, boggle-eyed. Things aren’t how they look, she cried. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘Utterly Betrayed’.

What are the rules on unintentionally peeing on radiography staff?!

It was HARD!

A white mug with a quote from Maude Lebowski from the Big Lebowski movie!

Fans of the Big Lebowski? I just realised my website has been down for nearly 2 months so if you've been trying to buy, I'm sorry!

He replied today with the best reply ever "Of course I remember you, I was thinking about you just last week actually because I went to London to see Moulin Rouge at the theatre" 🤣

We did stay in touch on Facebook for a few years but I stopped using it in 2013 so not sure when we last had contact... but yesterday I contacted him out of the blue, asked if he remembered me and cited "we sang Moulin Rouge songs in Tunisia" as my introduction.

Anyway, my friend's flatmate suggested I duetted with one of the boys from the school (he was 16, and also gay before there any suggestions of improper behaviour on my part) and we sang the elephant love medley from Moulin Rouge.

Another thing to note, I am known for my passion for singing but my tragic inability to do the same.

Anyway, we went to Tunisia, we were on a coach, I think there may have been a couple of ransom tourists on the same coach but for some reason I'm too old to remember the tour guide asked if anyone wanted to sing.

Two things to note.

1)this was 2004, things were a bit different then.
2)I'm not sure Spain even has an equivalent to DBS checking but if they do, it was 100% not active in 2004 because I don't even recall giving the school my details, I was just allowed to fly.

So, 21 years ago, my friend was living in Toledo, I was living in Bumfuck, her flatmate worked at a school who planned a cultural trip to Tunisia for some 14-16yo kids and needed some additional grown ups.

On the "living in Spain" theme. I had to contact some Spanish folk to try to sort my niece out with an internship and I was low on options and I thought "mmm wonder if that kid I sang with on a coach in Tunisia remembers me and has a job going"...

Anemone.

I'm going to refer to my dad as my ninja henceforth.

Hahaha well I have only ever heard Adam use the name Bumfuck so it is possible he used it incorrectly!!!

I'm not Spanish. Why did I type fellow Spaniard?

Oh! Assumed you meant Russell Brand! Forgot about JLC!

Is this rhetorical? Or do you want his name!?

Yay my first ever badge!

Haha aww thank you, what an accolade!

This translates literally as the 5th cunt of the world. And it's such a great description.

It has been 22 years and I still refer to that lovely little village as bumfuck.

But something I love even more than that memory of Adam calling it that, is that I tried to explain the concept of back of beyond to a fellow Spaniard and learnt the equivalent "el quinto coño del mundo"

A lifetime ago I was living in France with a bunch of fellow students when I got told where I would be living when I moved to Spain for my 3rd year.
One of my friends, Adam, upon seeing the location (a small fishing village at the back of beyond) I was going to, declared "oh goodluck in bumfuck"

Today wee Hulk auditioned for a local theatre group's summer musical. I don't know how he got on yet (email to be sent on Tuesday) but the lady who ran the audition messaged me to say "he did brilliantly" so even if he didn't get a part, I'm one proud mama.

This font choice, it's deliberate right? I'm not seeing things.

I don't live anywhere near this but wanted to confirm that posting on here works cos I just bought 4 tickets to your leamington spa gig in September as a direct result of seeing this post!

What's she gonna look like?
