Please assure me that I am not turning into my mother (sob). James claims that I get more like Brenda every day… IT’S NOT FUNNY (stomps foot)!

Forgive me, but my mother simply seems so incredibly gullible! Take this super speech by Martin Stephen Fry. I applaud his wit, intelligence and ability to articulate a particular point of view.


The Intelligence² Debate – Stephen Fry (Unedited)

I dare not share it with Brenda, nooo! She would simply snap;

“Well he would say that, wouldn’t he? He is a Protestant.”

I would love to discuss my horror, shame and disappointment regarding the behavior of the Roman Catholic Church with Brenda, but it would cause her far too much distress. She adores Fr O’Reilly and the sparkly new German pope. She still has a scrap of carpet from the alter that Pope John Paul said mass on in The Phoenix Park in Dublin, next to her brick from the Berlin Wall, and her blood soaked mitten from Padre Pio (don’t ask) in the china cabinet.

Brenda is currently mourning the loss of Bradley Branning, of EastEnders fame. She has even paid the priest to say mass for the boy she considered “a son”.

Brenda hasn’t been able to leave the house for over a week, she is so distressed since his tragic demise on the show. Honestly (bless)!

I understand bereavement and loss – Alexander McQueen was such an inspiration, but Bradley Branning was simply a character in a soap! My mother is deluded (stomps foot).

As a working mother, I have been forced to endure the dangers of travelling through Lambeth on my daily commute for years. I live in reality; I do not have the luxury of fantasy friendships.

Poor sweet innocent Brenda.

I adore my mother. She thinks good of everyone. Everyone, that is, apart from me…

I have said this before and I shall say it again – I haven’t a political bone in my head, but if you have not signed this petition yet, you really should consider it. Just don’t tell Brenda…

I found this tucked into Brenda’s Good News Bible. She tells me that it is the advice on which “many a good marriage has been based”… OHMYGOD!

This sort of advice does not apply to everyone – clearly! Although Froginthefield assures me that her man finds a night in rollers assures the perfect combover (gasp).
