Why We Need Women-only Spaces

I spent Twixmas in the West Country. Bath, to be precise, and what a Bath-ing I had. Water, water everywhere. Someone clearly misinterpreted my meaning when I said I am going to Bath. Had to buy an (emergency) pair of Wellingtons to see me through the rainstorm. Don’t think I…

When is a Christmas party not a Christmas party?

Christmas office parties. What about them? They are usually the best of fun. Fed and watered by the boss. Bearded, size-12-feet Malcolm from Accounts doing a jig with the usually strait-laced Elsie from Operations and giving those in attendance the laugh of the century (won’t say anything about photocopying your…

Rumble in the Jungle!

This wasn’t the story I had intended to post this week. I have another I’ve been working on, but that can wait.  Because this issue of the week is crucial. It crucial! It crucial! Right. Let’s talk jungle. As in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle. It’s…

Porn Again!

Did I read this right? Nuns and priests watch porn? Internet porn. Say what now? So, says their man in the know, the Pope himself. I can’t Adam and Eve it! So, here’s the Pontiff…anyway, how does he know? Did the Vatican carry out a survey of nuns and priests…

A Sentencing Conundrum

Help! I need somebody, help! Somebody please, please help me, help me! Not wishing to burst into song but I do need some help in figuring out a conundrum. “How can we help you, Miss J?” I hear you ask. Well, it’s come to my attention (as these things do)…

A man fit for the job? I don’t think so!

Well, that didn’t last long! A man put in charge of women’s monthly periods, tampons, sanitary towels, period pains, and the like. And it didn’t stop there. Jason Grant of Dundee, being the man in question, was also charged with menopause matters. He was appointed as, wait for it… Period…

Missing Black Lives Matter Too!

A woman and her two young children go missing. That’s bad enough. It takes the police three weeks to find them. Buried in the back garden of their home. Why did it take three weeks? Why did it take so long to find the former Eastenders actress Sian Blake and…

It’s Official: Dogs Love Reggae Too!

Reggae. Reggae. Reggae. Here comes Jonny Reggae. Who doesn’t like a bit of reggae? Eh? Who doesn’t like Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry or Tree Lickle Birds, I mean Three Little Birds? No self-respecting party or jump-up would be seen dead without these iconic numbers: as was evidenced down…

Blame it on the sunshine…

I am a plonker. For the record, I usually am not one. I generally have my wits about me. But (blame it on the sunshine, 40 degrees in the shade last week: blame it on the moonshine…) today I strode confidently into a well-known women’s clothes shop in the Westfield…

A Fair Cop? Not Likely!

What’s the police for? Seriously, what are they for? Give me a moment while I consult Google. Just to be sure. Google says ‘the police is responsible for the prevention and detection of crime’. Ah yes! Catch the criminals. I kinda guessed so. Didn’t need to trouble Google. But still……
