DUST BUSTER
A weekly rummage in the Dust.
I was reading the article in the Daily Dust about Barbie getting tattoos, this reminded me of George, my daughter, and the fact that she never took to playing with dolls. She had a brief ‘affair’ with Ken but preferred Meccano, Lego and toy dumper trucks. She’s also got a fascinating tattoo on her back which looks like two pairs of scissors attacking each other – very weird. Her friend Emily has the same tattoo on her right buttock so I’m told. How George found out I’ve no idea. I quite like tattoos but the Font disapproves completely. I was quite tempted to have one done, but when I mentioned it the Font gave me one of those looks that could stop a tank in it’s tracks!
I noticed that Amanda Holden has said she fancies Simon Cowell, or Simon Scowl as George calls him. I can see that he might have some charm, but I suspect that his many millions add to the ‘attractive’ quotient. I asked George what she thought of him; she just raised an eye-brow and continued reading her book. She’s staying with us for a few days as her ‘digs’ are being redecorated after there was a small fire that started during a party. Apparently, there was some experiment going on involving baked beans and a lighter – I didn’t hear the details.
The Font is being slightly more tolerant now about the glass of wine I enjoy after supper, having read that in fact it has now been proved that it’s good for you and can actually help you live longer. I tried to persuade her that obviously the more you drink, the better it must be for you, but unfortunately she’d read the full details in the Dust. She still hasn’t realised that I’ve been filling up an old Ribena bottle with Merlot for years – she approves of blackcurrents.
Harry Hill has won another BAFTA. The Font and I are amazed, as we can’t stand the man, but we were delighted to see that French and Saunders won the Fellowship, the highest honour from the Academy. We always call them French Fries and Colonel Saunders ….. and one them certainly looks like that’s their diet. We’ve always enjoyed clever comedy and they thoroughly deserve the award. I always remember the skit they did to the ‘stripper’ using the light from an open fridge, with toast popping up and …….. hang on ……. oh dear, I think I’ve had too much Ribena …… that was the Two Ronnies wasn’t it ……….. wasn’t it?
I think I’d better keep my head down for a little while and read the Dust – it’s the only paper I read you know.
