I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,698

So what happens when the Queen dies?

We all watch the Queens speech after Christmas lunch, and wonder why she had a sex change? And why she chose to be turned into a big earned c**t?

You haven't thought this through have you.

The question is, which set of parents are the worse? The invoicers, for their bizarre litigiousness, or the invoicees, for their rudeness? I think most people would say the invoicers were worst, but I have to say, if their overreaction prompts other party-cancellers to do the decent thing and contact the hosts before not turning up, then they have done us all a good service.

The invoices for going to the press, obviously.

Amused by a feature on R5 this evening concerning Page 3.

A former model Katie Marie something put her views and a Page 3 blogger was asked what he thought.

He said 'I agree with Katie Marie on a couple of points . . . .'

I was talking about real lives.

The Queen is in the Bible or the sky.

Her death will not be a proper death.

Just an identity crisis for 60 million people.

Combined with huge profits for those who trade in mass hysteria. ;)

I can sort of comprehend it. The parallel is having a holiday fully paid for in Southend but getting so fed up with all the traffic hold ups on the way there that you decide to take off for sunnier Scarborough instead.

Sadly, it's very hard to get decent work after a run in a soap.
What starts out as a decent earner becomes a life sentence.
A few have made it over the wall - but they are the exception rather than the rule.

There are some decent actors in soaps who have opted for the easy money route instead of a great career but in the end it's a living and a pretty good one.

Some of the younger ones though in things like Holyoakes and Neighbours are utterly appalling actors and should only get the minimum wage. That's where soap acting gets its bad reputation. EastEnders has by far the best actors of any soap so doing a long stint in Woolford isn't too bad for an actor. As oppose to Chester.

Are you serious? If trying to sound hard with a growling whisper is good acting then I don't know what else you've ever watched.

Nana Mouskouri's still touring at 80.

I suggest she gets herself quickly to Berlin and charms Frau Merkel with this:
