So Kim Kardashian posts ANOTHER…….

….. naked selfie, and then followed it up with an essay, defending her right to post naked selfies, on her website after a mixed reaction from various celebs on social media.  And rightly so. Now, Kim sweetie, there’s no disputing you have a bloody IN-CRED-IBLE (natural or not) body, {insert applause here}.  AND, there is […]

International Women’s Day 2016

And so it rolls around again, and some of the men will get all upset that there’s a day for us poor, hysterical folk possessing of boobs and vaginas.  That we feel there’s a necessity to implement an International Women’s Day concerns them.  “But WHY?” we hear them wail in unison.  And it’s a good question.  Because, […]

Mother’s Day 2016

Happy Mother’s Day.  To the mothers I know, and the ones I don’t, you are wonderful, ethereal creatures. My own mum will turn seventy in October of this year; and I have never valued what she is and what she does, more than I do now that I am older.  With each passing year, I […]

Amsterdam for PANKS

   WWhhoopp!!  Oh Amsterdam how do I love thee, let me count the ways….. It’s been more than twenty years since I was in you.  I went with my ex-husband and we stayed with friends, and I never saw the canals or the museums or the red-light district. We never made it there, because my […]

Who, being loved, is poor?

Who indeed.  And who was it who said this?  Why, the inimitable Mr Wilde of course, and as always; he was completely right.  Except not about actual poor people, with or without love they are really, as in the dictionary definition; poor.  No amount of trying to beam amour from your eyes intensely into the […]

Dry January ends today!

And guess what I’m going to do tomorrow. Go on, I bet you can’t………. a big fat nothing. Nothing is going to change.  Last year and the year before that, the first time I did Dry January specifically, (I’d taken time out in January before, before it was even a thing), I found it a […]

Thought for the day

I just looked at my stats, and I’m one page view away from ten thousand. This is nothing short of in-CRED-ible in a couple of years!!  I know it’s not a gazillion, but for a newbie, complete novice – it’s freakin’ marvellous. So, I say a massive: I promise to keep rambling and writing nonsense, […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #48

….. Donald Trump, David Cameron, George Osborne, doping scandals in athletics, crooked football organisations, crooked police, crooked politicians (in every country), Sepp Blatter, Vladimir Putin, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin’s son, BoB (rapper and flat earth believer), The Flat Earth Society, Kim Jong-Un, religious bigots of ALL denominations, Westboro Baptist Church, corrupt bankers, governments who don’t hold […]

Reasons why I don’t have kids #47

Did you not see the size of my tiny suitcase!?!?  What with the precision planning and the high heels and condoms, where would the toys and nappies and kids go? As well as limited space, I’m also working with a very limited budget and time here.  Money and time allocated to drifting the days away, […]

Travel tips for PANKS

BOOM!  Copenhagen booked for March……  largely in part to escape from the fact that I will have just become five years away from the big 5 – 0.  Freakin’ out, freakin‘ out, freakin‘ out….. (I foresee this is the way it will be every five years from now until, well, until infinity.)  But also to […]
