Did anyone hear her on Today Prog Radio 4 this am?

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 15:55:27

I keep being struck by how many comedians reference their sex lives in detail - men and women.

So, I don't feel as if Miriam is particularly unusual in that respect, by the way.

I think her wit may have absconded down the stairs with the excitement of a live show.

All she had to say was that his name was spelled wrong with that H in the front.

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 15:52:46

A bit like 'Butterflies', with the droopy old housewife, mum to gormless kids, and wife of misery guts. smile

Yes MissAdventure that is so, and usually prefer to dress in a younger way, look attractive and are more confident too.

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 15:46:53

Hmmm..
Because older women now are so much more liberated?

Prentice Mon 17-Oct-22 15:43:42

I agree FannyCornforth and think it has lost all relevance to older women now.

FannyCornforth Mon 17-Oct-22 15:30:48

Has, not had

FannyCornforth Mon 17-Oct-22 15:30:04

I don’t like that poem, ‘Warning’ at all. I find it quite depressing.
It does represent womanhood in the late 50s early 60s though.
I do hope that it had lost its relevance

She's not the Messiah a legend, she's a very naughty girl. wink

WHEN I am an old woman I shall wear purple and a red hat which doesn’t match. Jenni Joseph 1961.
Always makes me smile.

I thought it was the done thing to grow old disgracefully?
Lots of people say they intend to, at least.

Publicly - gracefully
Privately - disgracefully

Well well……..

What does that mean please?

I’ve always quite fancied Barry Humphries (not as Edna or Les)

Bless you!

I don't know what ATOOB means, so I'm pretending you sneezed

Chestnut

She's not a legend, she's an attention-seeking old bag. Her way of getting noticed is to be as rude and obscene as possible.

This did make me laugh Chestnut and you have out it so much better than I would have done.grin
MM has become even worse with age.

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 15:01:44

I'm very impressed, doodledog.
grin
Go that man!!

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 15:00:23

I don't care where or how anyone is educated: it's no skin off my nose.

I do not like attitudes that set sections of society against one another.

MissAdventure

As Miriam said, she feels a fart brings people together. smile

I find they can make them scatter quite effectively in some cases. Ask my BIL - he once cleared a room in minutes.

Callistemon21 Mon 17-Oct-22 14:58:03

Ooh, you're not like me and my privately educated family ...

Or privately educated Miriam either ?

MissAdventure Mon 17-Oct-22 14:54:53

Well I often disagree with Chestnut but I've never felt the need to address her like that...
