Gallons of moisturising lotion
Well a girl's still got to look after her skin whether she's inside or not!

V-shaped pillow
This is an essential piece of kit if you are going to be sitting on your bed for a year

I don't understand how star fishes don't have brains - I just don't get how they can be a bunch of nerve endings and pulses but no brain. How does that work ???

I never ever got round to watching it - there alway seemed to be other more worthwhile films to be watching and now I have no intention of catching up with it - or any of the others - Im just not a big sci-fi fan. Oh and before you ask I haven't read or seen Lord of the Rings either

Dougray Scott
I was in a production of West Side Story alongside him when I was 16

Jay Leno
I was in the audience at The Tonight Show and he shook my hand

Ryan Stiles
Standing next to the Dumbo ride in Disneyland in LA and I invited him to stay at my house if he ever done the Edinburgh Festival

Jamie Oliver
I met him in Union Sq in New York and was filmed asking him a question for NBC

The Top Gear team
I was in the audience to see Top Gear last December

At the Franklin for Tut

Tutting should be banned - its just rude. If you disapprove, say something, if not, shut the hell up!

People who tut at things should have their tongue removed and not allowed it back until they can tell people how they feel without making dolphin noises.

Minimum
I love writing this word because it's just a squiggle from beginning to end. Sometimes I forget when to stop and and I write a maximum sized minimum

A salad spinner!
It takes up way too much room and I never use it because I'm a lazy ass cook who buys ready washed salad in neat little packets that sit in my fridge til the lettuce goes soggy and brown and eventually turns into a liquid resembling badly made gravy (which is less lumpy than my own)

Autistic brother,
He is the new boy at school,
Adolescent angst.

Elaine
Elaine is my work colleague - although I spend more time with her than my partner I never get bored with her chat and together we are able to get through whole weeks of monotony

George Clooney
Just in case Elaine got bored of me or felt like a gooseberry because of Johhny

As a child I loved the idea that there could be a magical world concealed in my wardrobe that I could disappear into.

It was awful - he had just ate an orange and a pork pie and his breath stank

Even funnier than the film - so honest and truly does make you laugh out loud

I would like to grow old here because it has a bit of everything - city life with heaps of stuff to do and some great shopping, it's not far from the coast and it has proper heat!!! It also has lots of interesting people and a real buzz about the place.

World of Good by Saw Doctors

It's all in the lyrics

Thailand is my incentive to get fit this year - I'm going in November and will hike, bike and kayak whilst I'm there so I need to get into shape for the trip. Therefore an ode to the country seems fitting.

Thailand you're helping me train
and why I'm climbing hills in the fecking rain
Stamina building and carrying less weight
svelte, lighter and not eating cake
Chiang Mai, Krabi and Bridge over the River Kwai
are all my reasons for why, why, why.

Everytime I have been in the States I have wanted to buy things that have been on infomericals - specially skin products that are going to make me look ten years younger and reduce the chances of me getting skin cancer - I mean they so obviously work - the evidence is always clearly shown AND I can afford it! Oh and teeth whitener - that is really easy to do yourself and can get your teeth at least 5 shades whiter in no time at all instead of spending hundreds of dollars at a dentist. If only I was staying longer or they accepted overseas orders but alas its not to be.

Unfortunately I have always had to fly home empty handed - arriving home, looking older than my age with teeth not nearly as white as they so obviously could be :(

I remember A Fish Called Wanda being a light hearted comedy where Michael Palin gets chips pushed up his nose - I mean really, the only offensive thing was little doggies being killed off one by one, wasn't it?

Well that's what I thought til I had the great idea of watching it with the in-laws - major omg! Talk about fetishes, sex and more sex!!!!! My mother-in-law put it off way before it was finished and suggested a nice cup of tea ------- we still don't get on

I sat for 90 minutes in the cold last Saturday watching Hibs draw nil nil with Falkirk - a team we should have beat easily. However, they played way better than us and we were lucky to get the draw. Anyway, for the entire match all I could think of was the bottle of red wine and the warmth I was going to be going home to. Ahhh home sweet home.

Mark Darcy: I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.



I like it because acceptance rules!

more communication and less divorce!
