Weekly news - rave or rant?

A lighter take on the news


Sorry to repeat myself but we all know that the Brexit talks appear to be going nowhere at breakneck speed on a treadmill. The EU are playing hardball and Britain is threatening to break away without a deal.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and I have a suggestion that might just work. At this point in time, the PM doesn’t have much to lose anyway.


So, at the next Brexit talks, she could borrow Susan Calman’s Wonder Woman outfit from Strictly (anything will be an improvement from her patchwork blazer) and perhaps swap Wonder Woman’s cape for the Union Jack.

She can then get onto the podium, rock up to the microphone and belt out Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I will survive’. It might even send a message to her own cabinet ministers.

I have just heard on the news that Theresa May has left the Brexit talks today ‘not empty handed’. Which means a tiny crumb has been pressed into the palm of her hand but it’s still all about the money.

I assure you I am not living under a rock but for some reason, the fact that the media call Taylor Swift ‘Tay Tay’ completely passed me by until this week.

Well, I have yet another suggestion for our PM. Her people could try to get the media to start calling her Tay May. This affectionate nickname might endear her to some people (and she might actually fly when she dons on ‘Wonder Woman’s outfit).

Also, she could extend an invitation to Taylor Swift to visit 10 Downing Street. Tay May could have Tay Tay over for afternoon tea.

Some of Jeremy Corbyn’s young followers might change allegiance. You never know, stranger things have happened. We all know that Tay Tay has sway sway (couldn’t help myself) over quite a few young fans.

A Tory MP, Tim Loughton has said that he takes an hour long bath in the morning. Why on earth would someone luxuriate in a bath for an hour in the morning?

I personally would go straight back to bed if I had an hour long bath in the morning. I think (and this is only a suspicion) that Mr. Loughton is deflecting to justify the hour he spends in the bathroom.

If you look at his pic (below) those eyebrows don’t groom themselves. The effort and skill to balance the sparse with the lush, to end up with such a dramatic and uplifting effect cannot be achieved in the blink of an eye.

Last Saturday saw the departure of Charlotte from SCD. I personally think she should have been given an automatic pass into the next round after Shirley called her ‘Mollie’ and there was no immediate correction. For all we know, some of Mollie’s votes may have been intended for Charlotte.

Charlotte did improve, albeit through little baby steps. Nevertheless, I thought that was what the show was about - to see improvement. Shame no one appeared to have told the judges that, when they were scoring her.

It probably took Charlotte as much effort to do her routine as it did seasoned performer Alexandra to do her fabulous jive. I did love it though. I cannot wait for her Samba tomorrow.

Somehow Simon and Brian managed to get through to the next round and Davood ended up in the ‘Dance off’ with Charlotte. Simon’s shirt was so loud, you could hear it a mile away before they (he and his shirt) arrived.

Not sure about the dress Head Judge,Shirley Ballas, wore on Saturday’s show. It looked less Strictly, more ‘Amadeus’. She also looked terrified that she was going to trip over.  Bruno wafting next to her was probably more a hindrance that any sort of reassurance.
Unsurprisingly, Davood got voted through to next week.

Until next week, try and keep it light!
