Can Cheryl Cole perform a song live at all…?

You have to feel for Cheryl Cole right now – along with Tess Daly and Toni Terry they form an unlikely trio whose common link is that of ‘bastard-husband’. All three are right now trying to sort out the losers they married – but oh how I would like to see these women ‘sort out’ the trollops who engaged their men in the first place! already we are getting the reports about Cheryls ‘gaunt’ appearance and no doubt we will be informed about Tess’s quick weight loss following her problems with numpty-hubby Vernon Kay. What a diet eh…?

I’ve just watched Cheryl perform at the Brits and, yep, she performed that song once more…is anyone else out there fed up of hearing it? well – she danced and she mimed the song to be more precise, I don’t thing she has actually sung this song live anywhere since she recorded it. Even the choreography each time is the same – the usual crotch-flashing stances and unfortunately her mime ‘technique’ is not too polished. Poor girl – I just hope she does the right thing by herself and dumps that schmuck of a ball-kicker husband. She can do much better…and I reckon Simon Cowell has her on speed dial ;)

Do yourself a favour and grab these books…

I have been on a mission to making a return to reading one book a week like I used to do before the internet started interfering so much in my life. In fact there was a time when I could get through a couple of books and as I only had three kids at that time I reckon that was pretty good going.

I have always been a book worm and am encouraging my youngest kids to be the same, the elder boys are devout readers and libraries are places of worship in my opinion. I have been reading two great auto-bio’s recently by Dawn French and Jo brand – two very funny ladies with similar careers who arrived at those places in their lives via different and very interesting routes.

These  books are two of the few I have ever read that have truly made me laugh out loud and this is always a tonic – do yourself a favour and make the time to read them yourself.

How much do you love your console games…?

marioIt seems some people are so enarmoured of their games heroes that it is not just enough for them to download games and play them endlessly – they even name their children after them!

Not only that but there are people who change their name by deed-poll to match their favourite games system or gaming character. Do you think that is taking it a little far…? one couple named their new baby girl Firiona Vie after the Everquest character and even the comedian/actor Robin Williams apparently named his daughter Zelda after the famous Nintendo game. One man working in the games industry went as far as to change his name to Link – well, Zelda was a popular game.

I read recently about a lady who was so grateful to her Nintendo Fitness for helping her shed her post-baby weight that she re-named her daughter ‘Wii’…taking things a little too far you reckon? but then there are some children getting around named ‘Yoshi’ and believe it or not some years back a man named his son ‘Sega’…that I could probably understand…but ‘Wii’…? I guess it will not be long before some woman comes up with ‘Princess Toadstool’ for her daughter. That would be pretty bad…
