There are a nbumber of famous women who are hailed for their 'beauty' or overall attraction, and I simply do not see it at all - Scarlett Johansen is one, so are - Angelina Jolie Gillian Anderson...
A friend learned with a provisional licence years ago, and has now reapplied for his provisional. He wants to take a couple of 'refresher' lessons and then apply for his Theory and Practical Tests. Is...
After the successes with Samantha Brick and Katie Hopkins, the Mail gives more space to deluded shallow people to spout nonsense about themselves, and wind up the readership. Best advice - ignore it!...
Rather than continuing to worry my wonderful wife, I have decided to give up sugar. Advice varies, but rather than reduce gradually, which for me would be worse, I have gone cold turkey, and had no...
The Mail does appear to be whipping this up into something it clearly is not. Deborah Dunleavy has made a stupid comment on her Twitter account - as an MP she should know better than to get into such...
I know that the 'onesie' is something of a new phenomenon, so i am intrigued about the ettiquette of wearing one. When we decamped back to my daughter's house after her son;s fourth birthday party at...
Watched 50 Year Of Rock Excess on Channel 4, and ended up shouting at the telly - again! Jimmy Crespo (I think) original guitarist with Aerosmith attributed the story about bands having bowls of M &...
A friend at work was enjoying a day off at home when a parcel delivery man knocked at the door, asking if he would take in a parcel for next door. Being a good neighbour, he naturally agreed,...

Don't you just love the fact that the Daily mail keeps thos 1960's Sunday tabloid phrases alive and well? 'Love Rat'! If Mr Gallagher can stand the pace into his forties, he can join the ranks of Bill...
Two hours of my life I won't get back. I sat through the most pretentious dialogue I have ever heard. It sounded as though a load of sixth formers had been given a competition to make some meaningless...
So JM has lost his sacking appeal. I am amazed that anyone would think that an ageism case would work, given the way the changes in Channel 4 Racing were brought about. If he had tacked his dismissal...
Thanks so much to everyone who wished me a happy bithday for last Saturday. As some of you know, the present Mrs Hughes is away abroad working, and although I had a lovely family meal on Friday with...
I like to listen to Chris Evans, except when he interviews a studio guest. For some unfathomable reason, while the interview is going on, there is some mindless jazz saxophone honking and hooting away...
I have acquired an old I-Pod Nano. I have re-set it to factory settings, and am ready to put some choons on it. My new PC had my I-Tunes programme transferred - but it will only open on the music...
Not only was Kim Wilde drop-dead gorgeous in the '80's, she has co-written one of the most atmospheric etheriel songs I have ever heard - Cambodia. Considering this is presented under the guise of a...
Still, the media refer to Sir Tumbs-Aloft as 'ex-Beatle ...' and I find it baffling. Given that there is an entire generation for whom The Beatles are a cultural footnote, but were not alive when the...
