Loose Women

Andrea McLean, Cilla Black, Carol McGiffin and Denise Welsh, Sherrie Hewson and Jayne McDonald do my heart good. How liberating is it for women with vim and vinegar and differing views to get live telly time? The husband is in love with Denise. I don’t blame him but don’t tell Tim or he will come roon and heed butt Tiger. Well done Tim for taking that Pratt Jason Gardner to task.  

The girls cover all topics’s and are so honest and true to themselves that it is invigorating and the husband is near wetting himself laughing. He says; “Imagine that crowd landing at your door?” He wishes!

Can you picture Carol on the Karaoke machine doing her lounge singer act? Cilla would bring the house down and Denise would drink us out of house and home. I wouldn’t turn them away though. They are like me. Opinionated to the point of feisty … that is no bad thing.

Cilla’s Bobby cooked a leg of pork for their Sunday dinner and she asked him where the stuffing was. Her mum always made stuffing. (I am writing this in Cilla’s Scouse accent by the way). Bobby lifted it and said stuff you and stuff your mother and threw it out the window. Well, well.

Thankfully Tiger doesn’t like stuffing. He loves gallons of gravy though. I spend more time on gravy than the roast. He would never throw food out the window. The Rock and Tiger ate all the pork chops last night. Just as well I am inclined to like spuds and spring greens.

On a slightly darker note … the press complaints commission took a body blow they are going to regret when The Daily Telegraph were sanctioned for exposing Vince Cable. Investigative journalism is in danger of being gagged. Don’t get me wrong. I despise salacious stories. There is a place for the voice of the people and if celebrities and politicians can circumvent and hide behind the law then it is a rocky road to ruin.

It’s okay to print details of court cases and sensationalise murder but it is not permitted to analyse and report the true events and feelings of the public. Sad but true.

Life and fame and fortune are fleeting, so embrace every day and live life to the full. Treat every day as if it is your last. Pay attention to the world around you and cherish the people you love.

And don’t believe everything you read.
