    Unfunny comedians

    Comedy night again last night at the open air theatre- very lucky with the weather I have to say. The bill consisted of Glenn Moore who I like, Gary Delaney who I love ( quick fire one liners - a saucy version of Tim Vine) absolutely love him and Thanyia Moore black lady with shaven head only...

    Fast fashion - is there anything we can really do?

    The rubbish I read was on the returns form so I checked out their returns policy on their website. It says that you cannot return footwear or underwear unless it's faulty, so maybe this is where the discretion comes into play. Fair enough on underwear but footwear? It's not cheap and I would be...

    Fast fashion - is there anything we can really do?

    Well, I bit the bullet and I ordered what I thought would be a smart raincoat from Patrick Grant's Community Clothing. I'd seen it on their website reduced to £99 which obviously is a lot of money, but when I received a code to get 25% off I thought sod it! I thought yes I'll treat myself...

    White Stuff TSV 16/08/24

    I completely agree with you there, but I think that biker boots can look ok with a floaty dress as can Birkenstock sandals though I agree about the models sulky faces being a put off. One of my pet hates when it comes to footwear is balance eg someone wearing a long skirt and the shoes they've...

    White Stuff TSV 16/08/24

    It's an ok-ish dress if a little frumpy, well actually in some of the colours it looks very frumpy! The material close up looks far too hot to wear on a nice day I think you'd pass out tbh. There are so many lovely dresses to choose from elsewhere for far less money (and I'm talking about the...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    Yes I mentioned it earlier I just remember being really disappointed. I was so hoping that Stephanie from the Original SNF film would figure in it somewhere and maybe a couple of the other characters, but there was nothing. If I remember rightly nobody or nowhere from the original was even...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    One of my favourite films but boy is it dark and melancholy despite the brilliant soundtrack and the dance classes that all us ladies of a certain age attended when we were kids?! I tried, and failed 3 times to get into see the film when it first came out, and if I remember rightly a dumbed...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    No, it totally wouldn't be made today, and yes I would say thankfully too but I'm awfully glad that it was made. I actually went with my boyfriend to see it at the cinema first when it first came out and he was disgusted and tried to make us leave before it had finished - It was really awkward...

    I don't blame you, but if you're a die hard fan then it's a must I'd say. I know you said that you know all the songs word for word, but the folk I encountered at the live show literally knew the script word for word too, they knew exactly what heckles went where - I guess you've really gotta be...

    Aaah the Rocky Horror show! For the first time I'm gonna admit it (With the exception of the Time Warp) - I don't think I like it! I first heard of its existence in the early 80's when a girl I knew got on the last bus buzzing 'cause she'd just seen the film, she said you MUST go and see it. I...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    Oh thanks for that I'll definitely look that one up as I was so disappointed by the modern one. Some times the old versions are the better ones as they simply tell the story without all the fancy bits and anachronisms so often found in today's films. They don't always bother me but for some...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    I hope you enjoy it - pure fantasy is a genre I've never been able to get into. For the sake of our local pub quiz who seems to put in a question about Harry Potter on a weekly basis made me buy the box set of the films and listen to the audio book and I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    I'd like to get this conversation rolling, so perhaps are there any films that you went in not expecting to enjoy and did? or vice versa. Most recently my biggest disappointments have been Allelujah (the one about old folks in a hospital) billed, or strongly suggested it was a feel good, funny...

    Film reviews (no spoilers)

    I've been a bit down in the dumps lately for various reasons so when I found that Netflix was carrying a couple of "feel good" films that I've been wanting to see for quite a while. Film no.1 - Wicked little letters. Great that it's set in my neck of the woods so to speak so it was lovely...

    I love that song...and it totally reminds me of the balmy summer days of the mid 1970's. It's the beginning of the school summer holidays and "there ain't a cloud in sight" This is playing on the radio as I get ready to walk down to my friend's house for a day of fun n' frolics. Who needs all...

    One size fits all

    What on earth?! The model in the picture isn't exactly huge but by tucking it into the front of skin tight white jeans doesn't do her figure any favours - Might get away with black or navy. The material hanging down the back just looks strange and those sleeves would drive you nuts. How many...

    Eyebrow Alert

    My eyebrows are "just there" if it makes sense, they're the same colour as my hair and I don't touch them. When I was a teenager I used to pluck the centre, but I've not had hair growing between my eyebrows since I stopped doing it and at the age of 17 or there abouts. They're not thick...

    Top 10 Albums

    Things have changed for me obviously with age, but in my youth I'd watch TOTPs religiously, tape the top 40 every Sunday, go to discos, go out and buy records so I'd always be abreast of the scene, and of course my equally youthful friends/boyfriends would be into their music so I'd hear the...

    I agree, as a professional outfit, those behind the scenes should not be afraid to let the presenters know if what they're wearing doesn't look great or in this case looks horrendous, especially when the clothing they're wearing is something available to buy on the channel. Mind you this is a...

    Please

    I think coloured hair and coloured mascaras are great. I think the crazy hair colours look better on the youngsters, let's face it most things do, but I will hold my hand up to wearing blue mascara from time to time and I usually get a compliment. I used to dye my hair all manner of colours...
