  • Take me from behind

    05 November 2011 ( #Blog )

    “Just grab the rope and make it look like you are dragging the chef’s with you” the photographer shouted. One chef shouted over the photographers voice “It looks like we are all taking you from behind” that made me laugh as I looked round and had a bunch...

  • Am so beautiful you all hate Me!

    05 April 2012 ( #Blog )

    Am not really, that was a poke at the recent article (one amongst many) by self promoter Samantha Brick who wrote a column in UK rag The Daily Mail (I know how mad?) about how stunningly beautiful she is and how women hate her for it. She tells of pilots...

  • My Daddy

    17 November 2013 ( #Blog )

    This happened last week. Sitting in the blazing sunshine of Los Angeles, I decided to call my dad, so I dangled my feet in the pool and pressed out his number. "Hello dad, it's hot here" I opened with. Dad sounded drunk & sleepy like a teenage college...

    06 May 2012 ( #Blog )

    I never thought I would ever write those words down in a blog but here I am. Let me take you back a bit, when I was growing up in Glasgow in the 70s and my dad let me hear an LP vinyl recording of Glasgow comic Billy Connolly- I have been hooked and love...

  • Things worry me

    02 October 2010 ( #Blog )

    This flu bug I had hasn’t totally gone or I have a serious illness that’s gone undiagnosed. I am still tired a lot and feel as though I have just given birth and my body wont heal and am about to give birth again tomorrow. Have you ever felt like a small...

  • This is how I see it

    09 October 2010 ( #Blog )

    Have you ever read a book that was so bad, you screamed and threw it at a hotel wall so hard that the manager calls your room to complain about the rumpus? I read Harlan Coben’s ‘Play Dead’ and to be fair he does say in the intro that it was his first...

  • The world’s laziest woman

    16 October 2010 ( #Blog )

    I am well aware that the blog is late, I was lying in bed last night, thinking “I haven’t written a blog in ages” and then felt guilty and fell asleep tangled like a pretzel, woke up and have a squinty squashed tit. Hope you are all happy now then eh?...

  • Going insane

    30 October 2010 ( #Blog )

    Been a tense time in the flat, Ashley and I have stopped smoking. I am so proud of her, I have done this before and she hasn’t, so I can see how tense she is. She is answering every question with a screechy voice and her stomping feet about the flat must...

    01 November 2010 ( #Blog )

  • This life of mine

    06 November 2010 ( #Blog )

  • A weird thing happened at the gig

    04 December 2010 ( #Blog )

    I stood onstage at the Glasgow comedy club, the first of the Christmas comedy nights for me and there were 98% of men in the room. This is fine for me, before comedy I owned a bar in the roughest part of Glasgow, so heaps of men don’t bother me. Men pointing...

  • Things that happen to me

    14 December 2010 ( #Blog )

  • The Plague is here

    28 February 2011 ( #Blog )

    Adelaide is a beautiful city, full of awesome architecture albeit ‘new world’ and the people are feisty and funny and it also gets a plague of locusts. Did you know that? No I didn’t either, but these things are over an inch long and crunch when you stand...

  • Children get older and so do parents

    22 March 2011 ( #Blog )

    Being away so often makes you forget your actual role in the family and the world in which you inhabit. When I was in Australia I was so busy trying to work hard that Ashley really did become my carer for a while and was checking I was eating, sleeping...

    03 April 2011 ( #Blog )
