I Salute The Ladies!

Having given the matter considerable thought, I have decided to nominate British ladies who in my opinion have done and are still winning much credit for this country.

Dame Judy Dench: a lady who apart from being a superb actress, also seems to have an amazing sense of humour.

Darcy Bussell: pure dedication and talent in abundance has resulted in worldwide recognition of her expertise as prima ballerina with the Royal Ballet. Her explanatory TV programmes are quite superb.

Catherine Jenkins: a voice of pure clarity and quality, with a physical beauty that simply enhances the on-stage performance.

Zara Phillips: European Champion and World Champion, a most talented horsewoman with a common-touch so rare amongst those who have had a somewhat privileged upbringing. Who would bet against her winning at the Beijing Olympics?

Kirsty Allsopp: Elequent and courteous, an intelligent lady whose diction should be bottled and sold to schools, her mention of the Winter (minuet pause) Gardens emphasised the fact that the Margate building was a winter retreat. Her knowledge of property I imagine to be unequalled!

 

 

 

What Goes Around Part II

Following the recent press coverage highliting the off duty hobby of FIA boss Max Mosley, it could be suggested that what goes around certainly comes around!

Do I feel sorry for Mr Mosley - no way, at times you certainly get what you deserve!

What Do They Look Like!

Most weekdays I watch the TV channel BBC Parliament. I suppose I could be accused of being slow, but I have only realised how truly low the standard of personal presentation is exhibited by ladies on the government front bench.

The majority of male front bench ministers are well presented, neat suits, well ironed shirts with matching ties - hopefully their shoes are well polished too!

Then we see the ladies, many of whom look as if they’re wearing someone elses cast offs, jackets to suits look at least one size too small, garing unnecessary coloured blouses are selected, or they’ve decided to save money by shopping at Lady at the Skip. Sadly it’s not only the apparel that looks naff, most of the time some could not have bothered brushing their hair or looking in a mirror, and they all seem to use the same hairdresser, Blunkett of Westminster!

If Gordon Brown has a modicum of sense, he would have a quite word with Tory MP Nadine Dorries and beg her to offer dress-sense advice to his own front bench!
