http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/and-suddenly-i-like-russell-brand.html
Monday, 8 September 2008. And suddenly I like Russell Brand a little bit. Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president," he said. But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retarded cowboy fella be president for eight years. We were very impressed. we thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because, in England, he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Conservatory Girl: A revision
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/revision.html
Monday, 1 September 2008. Having spent some time at my Ma’s and practically forcing her to sit and read what I wrote about elder brother M, I realised my analysis was wrong. Wrongetty wrong wrong wrong. Ma obviously has memories of M which stretch back many years before I was born. She was also the one to go and sit with him when he was feeling so sorry for himself after he’d driven his ex and their children away. She’s not especially sympathetic. What they are, though, is dismissive: super dismissive.

Conservatory Girl: Magpies
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/magpies.html
Thursday, 11 September 2008. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I'm superstitious about magpies. I'm superstitious about ladders, too, but that's always seemed to me to be plain common sense. People carry things up ladders at a time when they can't even use both hands.). But for now, I want to think about the magpie thing. In fact, I saw two magpies the morning of the most miserable day of my working life. I saw two magpies the day of breaking up with a long term partner. On our way back to see wheth...

Conservatory Girl: Posts that upset people
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/posts-that-upset-people.html
Thursday, 4 September 2008. Posts that upset people. I wrote a post yesterday (day before? About the friend of Mr ONIS. Mr ONIS then read the post and perceived it to be one big moan about the young lady (hereafter referred to as TYL). Alright, yes I probably was moaning, but why not? Though very nice and not unpleasant (to me), TYL essentially treated a brand shiny new friendship as an old and secure one. That's okay, I can work with that, it just caught me out. Why could this be? There are obvious answ...

Conservatory Girl: Boarding School
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008/09/boarding-school.html
Sunday, 7 September 2008. It's a strange position to be in, that of driving for five hours to leave your eldest child somewhere knowing that you will not see that child for the next six weeks. But, I have done it. I have now joined the ranks of wealthy British who customarily place their children into private care homes known as boarding schools. And, boy do I fit in? And I am absolutely definitely and completely the only mum with pink hair. I do myself no favours. And now he has gone. The house is q...

Conservatory Girl: September 2008
http://conservatorygirl.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 September 2008. Can Care, Won't Care. There are two things I'm going to write about, and I promise, they link up. That may not be immediately apparent. There are endless of those, Amanda Platell for instance, who I think should do the dignified thing and fade graciously away, taking their inane, unsupported, bigoted, self-righteous tripe with them. I had really been enjoying watching Charley until that point, at which it struck me that a lot of people actually need to travel to be able to see ...
