Rowan Atkinson campaigned against proposed laws targeting “incitement to religious hatred” because he feared [...]

I was dressed in fashionable grey today. Grey from top to toe but finished off with a dashing purple scarf. I looked hot. Combined with that for outerwear, a purple coat, purple suede gloves and a purple knitted jaunty little hat. In my eyes, I could knock spots off anyone. My make-up was carefully applied to make the most of assets, which I think are my eyes, I could not have done more to make myself...

She called her autobiography Dear Fatty and her girth provided much humour in The Vicar of Dibley, but Dawn French says jokes about the overweight should be consigned to history along with those about race or sexual orientation.

I personally love Dawn French! I think she is a brilliant comedy genius! I think I am like her in some ways. In others not so much. The thing I love about Dawn is her humour. And the fact that she is a bigger woman who loves life! She has her own clothing label for bigger ladies. Of course when you say Dawn French people think or The Vicar of Dibley (one of my all time favourite tv series - I love...

Hark! The regional accents of England’s West Country If I was to say “West Country accent” to most UK people, their response would be “ooh arr ooh arr” or to refer to us all as yokels. The West Country is also referred to as the south west and consists of the counties Wiltshire, Avon, Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. I hail from Devon and I am quite appalled if anyone...

So what do we think about this? For me it feels less like a Bad Romance and more a threesome with Dawn French and Anne Widdecombe. Not a fan lol.

As I forgot to take my notebook to the gym today (Grrrrrrr!) I had to cobble together a workout from memory. I couldn't remember whether my last workout contained squats or lunges, so I went for lunges. When I got home, I realised I had taken exercises from my first two routines, but I'm not fussed, I got a great workout. As I didn't have my notebook, I couldn't even begin to tell you what reps I did...

Mouse points out that Dawn French's...
