12:15 PM Standing in the Way of the Fridge A bit of a strange pubservation from Friday night. We went to the pub for a short while in the evening, and due to my tropical vampire TB black widow spider throat disease I was on the antibiotics and therefore not drinking. Said pub was something of a frequent haunt for us back in the day, but we hadn't been there for a while. What we saw was something of a shocker; the women who used to go there had all of a sudden got bigger. It's the weirdest thing. They now all resemble that chick from The Gossip:  I don't know how it happened (well, I probably do- pies) but this synchronised enlargement was just so freaky! Is this the new fashion as a backlash to size zero? If size zero models get stick for promoting an unhealthy body image, then surely the same should apply to The Gossip? And while we're on the subject, leave those size zero women alone; they're polite and don't take up much room. ANWAY, the use of the word 'gossip' as an adjective for the larger lass became something of a recurring theme for the rest of the weekend. It'd be a lot more effective if it was an anacronym, like "girls of super sized icecream portions" or "girls overweight sinking Smirnoffs in pubs". Of course this all sounds quite superficial and shallow etc. But as the old saying goes, "different strokes for different folk"; just because I don't think they're hot doesn't mean that the next guy isn't turned up by the sight of a slightly pissed up gossipy lady with a vodka lemonade and straw in one hand, cigarette in the other stomping about to The Fratellis. ----- Went out for sushi last night, and the predictable sight of Chufty regurgitating his food and trying to use chopsticks was amusing for all. Not much for yours truly to eat, I had to settle for a couple of ricey things with seaweed. We then headed to see Lucy Porter do her stand up comedy routine The Good Life at the Soho Theatre. I'm not a huge fan of female stand-ups because, frankly, they're all rubbish. But Porter seems to be the only decent one, and her show was quite funny. She did this bit about how she thinks Osama bin Laden is cute because he's the only person in the world who still uses C90 cassette tapes when he records his messages of hate: "No no no, press play and record at the same time!".

The gal from the Gossip is a happy lass. That was my one and only thought when I saw them on the telly.
I'm not so sure, she seems quite angry to me.
Beth Ditto on doing a nudie photo-shoot: "It was kind of a radical thing to do. I got my period just 10 minutes before we got there, and I was totally bleeding. I was doing it with my tranny boyfriend, who I’m in love with, and I was totally bleeding — how radical is that? — and I’m a fat person, and I’m a femme. It felt really good."
If it came to a ruck, there could only be one outcome. Ditto would do to Bovril Latrine what... well, what she'd do to a cake.
Firstly Mr Neil, I wanna apoligise for mycomplete neglect to keep tabs of your still excellent Webloggings.
Benny! Yes the screaming fella is gone, opinion was kinda divided on him but in the end I felt a change was due.
I like your acronyms.
