I’m so freaking weird. I’m not a hypochondriac but doctors are determined to keep finding new and interesting things wrong with me. Now I do have some serious things wrong with me and some minor ones as well. But they don’t...

Do any of you have any favorite vegetables? I know, I know, some of you refuse to eat vegetables. I was just laughing at a conversation I had with my dad over the phone last night. I asked him about his day (our phone...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam I was dreadfully picky as a child - no tomatoes, spaghetti, rice, cucumber, broccoli, yams, onion … I was impossible. Now I eat everything other than oatmeal, rice pudding and tapioca. I don’t like potatoes but all other veggies are good, especially...

Got a letter today and it wasn’t very nice. It was from the council telling us that a complaint has been made about rats in our street. Initially annoyed at someone making a complaint against me to the Council, I read the letter...

Last night I was trying to get to sleep, but every time I was just about to nod off I was rudely woken by a loud screeching noise. I ignored it the first couple of times, as I was cosy in bed and trying to sleep. Then it got too...

Fiacre Banks @traceyjayne Foxes are the worst. We used to live between a forest and the edge of the city and some nights I thought a baby was being attacked. The fighting was bad but the noises they make during amorous encounters are ridiculous.

When I can’t sleep, and don’t want to read or be online , I will turn on The Big Bang Theory and watch it. It makes me laugh out loud, and the characters are so likeable. I used to turn on The Golden Girls when that happened, but...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam Oh yes, and I loved it. I thought the star of it was Sheldon’s mother. The poor woman was trying her best to do everything right but kept getting things wrong.

Perhaps you knew about this but it's news to me, and it would have made my childhood much more enjoyable had I known it earlier. There is a snake, a Western Hooknose, which is found principally in the Chihuahua desert of Mexico...

That’s a weird title, right? But it’s true Sometimes when I travel I pack my older more worn out underwear. The reason I do that is that sometimes instead of packing home dirty underwear, I’ll throw pairs away throughout my...

Fiacre Banks @fleura those purchases will need to be very small indeed if they are to fit in the space a couple of pairs of drawers would occupy. Depends on the size of the drawers of course.

I've never paid any attention to Tai Chi (or chai tea as a friend inadvertently referred to it once in company) until last night: not because of any opposition but because it never interested me. I've seen people practising it in...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam Big Bang would be my go to show as well but I don't watch TV after 9 pm. It really is worth re-watching.

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Have you considered disposable paper bloomers? You just ditch them as you go along. A friend was given them on her honeymoon by British Airways who mislaid her luggage. Imagine the indignity of your first night as a married lady having to use paper...

I have a problem ladies. When I'm out and about in the sunshine how do you walk past a woman from behind? I've noticed that guys in their 40s & 50s are treated as a threat and women constantly looking over their shoulder or...

Fiacre Banks @thedevilinme Negotiating women is a nightmare. If I’m alone walking wherever and a lone woman, or even a pack of them, walks towards me I panic. Should I smile and say hello or just look at the ground and ignore her? Either is bound to be the wrong thing.

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Old underthings are going to get thrown out soon anyway so this is the sensible approach to take, and you can keep the nice stuff for home. Who wants to be washing one’s smalls on holiday anyway?
