About Me

Hello!!! what am I supposed to say......????? About me, OK, then. I was expelled from a private girl's school, used to be 11 stone heavier and have a black belt in karaoke. I believe absolutely nothing is out of reach if you want it badly enough. I am widowed and live with my 14 year old son. His hero is John Cena. (He asked me to put this in). I think that the following tells someone more about a person than anything..... What I would put in room 101.... 1) Queueing - Cant stand it, dont have the time for it, put more staff on. 2) People who make their beds on a morning.... What is the point? You get up, throw the duvet over then when you get back into bed, you snuggle it back over you. Why waste that time, straightening it and making it? The only people who are ever going to see it are people you know pretty well, so who cares? 3) People who run in the rain (especially with books/magazines, etc over their heads. You are going to get wet anyway, so why waste the energy? 4) People who start work at 9, but get up at 7.30. What is there to do in this time? Why not get up at 8.30 and have your shower before bed? How dirty are you going to get in one night? It only takes a few mins for a wash and to brush your teeth. Is morning TV really that good? Ever heard of pop tarts? 5) People who think they are hilarious, when they are not. Like Cannon and Ball. Or Clowns. Or Harry Hill. Or when someone says something funny and the punchline is so obvious that it does not need saying, and everyone is laughing, but someone says it anyway and thinks that they have told the joke and then keeps repeating it and repeating it until you want to kill them. 6) People who walk down the street smiling for no reason. Usually wearing slacks and comfortable shoes. No-one can be happy all the time. Why do they smile like that? Are they secret tax inspectors? Or have they been to Ann Summers? Why are they usually over 60? Is this cool in their culture? 7) Rules that are there for no reason. (other than to be broken - and while we are on the subject, people who follow them) Examples are: Don't touch the plants (which means I have to sneakily touch them): Please queue this side (What is wrong with the other side?); Please switch off all mobiles (what is wrong with silent mode? I have never (knowingly) murdered anyone in a hospital or an airplane - so why?): Please respect resident's wishes and leave quietly (why live near a pub, then?):

My Interests

Writing, karaoke, reading, socialising, paranormal stuff. travelling, sunshine, beaches, pubs, being warm and cosy, feeling all squishy (you know the feeling, wearing your 'poorly jumper' and drinking hot chocolate after watching dirty dancing or officer and a gentleman or something), my bestest and funniest mate, josie (aka alfie noakes), bringing my husband's murderers to justice (yes, a bit dark but, hey, no one else is going to do it). Not an obsession though..... honest.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting non conformists, who aren't afraid of everything and anything. Not looking for any romance or anything - but maybe make some friends who have an interest in paranormal and mediumship who can prove to me that loved ones can communicate with us. Failing that, someone to get mashed with. (not really a plonky - just on week-ends!). No, really, just like to chat with interesting, side-splittingly funny folk. (Oh, and anyone who can get me a part in a movie/tv show)- that always goes down well.

Music:

Anything no-one else my age seems to like - dire straites, rod stewart, elvis, chaz and dave, nina simone. Love lots of embarrassing silly songs like, Shaddup Ya Face and Banana Splits. More modern stuff I like are James Blunt and David Gray. Loads of different ones really.

Movies:

Fave films are Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Charlie and the Chocoltale Factory (original version), Oliver, Annie, Grease, Christmas Carol, Bugsy Malone, Chicago - all the old musicals. Blazing Saddles.

Television:

M*A*S*H, Friends, Dead Famous, Most Haunted, Jane Goldman Investigates, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore. Laurel & Hardy (I haven't got a big mouth have I, Ollie?) Love Happy Days as well - fabamundo. Used to love Bernard's Watch (how cool would that be). HATE Big Brother, would prefer to chew off my own leg than watch that poo. Like Peter Kay, and Have I Got News for You. Also like Shooting Stars - now that was a funny show. Morecambe and Wise, Tommy Cooper, Frasier, Cheers, Phoenix Nights, League of Gentlemenm when I finally got into it (You're MY wife now).

Books:

Too Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee is my favourite book. But then again I love Viz's Rogers Profonosaurus. Just read, Peter Cook's 'Tragically I was an only twin', currently reading, 'Is it just me or is everything shit?' Currently writing my own book which is sure to be a best seller. But unfortunately, 'Friends' and other good shows keep deliberately getting in my way by magically appearing on my telly, just when I am about to do some writing. Also sometimes I am inexplicably carried off to some Karaoke or the like, where there is no-where to plug my computer in.

Heroes:

Oscar Shindler, Wonder Woman. Anyone who has actually got off their lazy ass and wrote a book. Actually, come to think of it - I quite admire that Darius guy. He was ridiculed like Les Dennis after Big Brother or Keith Chegwin after his nude show, but who's laughing now? He's richer than most of us here....mmmm
