A Briefing on Mens’ Briefs

“A friend got mad at me for smelling my sister’s underwear,” a male pal joked recently. “I’m not exactly sure if it was because she was still wearing them or because the rest of the family was present… Either way it made the funeral very awkward.” I laughed but it did get me thinking about […]

Aural Sex

Listen up ladies. This is not fake news. Last week we celebrated International Female Orgasm Day. So, how was it for you? I hope you were oh…Oh!!!…OHHHHHH! ver joyed. If you were left high and dry, however, I hope you didn’t do a “Meg Ryan” and simulate an orgasm to rival her infamous “I’ll Have […]

Cycling in the Loire Valley

“We’re going on a cycling trip,” Ruby Wax enthused, thrusting some hideous padded cycling pants at me. “Through the Loire.” The look on my face must have registered more surprise than the congregation at Oscar Wilde’s wedding. Ruby? Cycling? I immediately pictured myself peddling frantically on a tandem bicycle, drenched in sweat, while my best […]

Mind the Gap…

Best to avoid bedroom botulism!  It’s a truth universally acknowledged that aged rich men attract younger women like flies to a dropped chop. The 89 year old ex F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has just had a baby with his 44 year old girlfriend. Steve Martin was 67 when his 41 year old wife gave birth. […]

Hottest Women In The World – And Not Just Due To Hot Flushes

Why do men like their wine old and their women young? It’s a conundrum we females have debated over many a glass of vino as yet another of our attractive, vivacious, dynamic, middle-aged girlfriends gets dumped by her husband for a vacuous younger model. And it’s not as though the wife he’s chucking onto the […]

Get Ready For The Roaring 20’s, Party Animals

Are you ready to party? Because the “roaring 20’s” are on their way. World War 1 followed by the Spanish flu pandemic ensured that the 1920’s also got off to a bad start. But when the world got back on its feet, there was one hell of a celebration. A decade of bacchanalian debauchery ensued. […]

My Day Our Plinth Will Come.

…..That’s the thought I had as a statue of a slave trader was chucked into Bristol harbour, Christopher Columbus was beheaded in Boston and confederates like Robert E Lee bit the dust all over America. After years of campaigning to remove white supremacists from our cityscapes, activists took direct action, and as a result, we’re […]

Special needs in this specially needy time

Have you found the lock down nerve-wracking? Well, imagine what it’s like if you suffer from an anxiety disorder. Or if you’re caring for someone who does. My 29 year old son Jules is autistic. Mothering a child with autism is as easy as skewering jelly to a mid-air boomerang. Especially during this Corona crisis. […]

Not so perfect Mother’s Day

Are you a Mum? Then step up to the podium and receive your award. Kid and career juggling takes the agility and expertise of a gymnast trying to balance on a beam. For decades you’ve dashed from your full time job to orthodontic check-up to sports day to parent-teacher night like some kind of maternal […]
