Shirley Bassey at The Electric proms

Not really sure what a Prom is but Shirley`s was belting . Saw it round at Joyce and Steves -they`ve got one of those red buttons so we watched it twice . What a performer -much better than Robbies Prom . He looked a bit dead behind the eyes but Shirley was all there . I am going to see if I can post one of those you tube things on here so you can see it if you missed it and havnt got a red button .


I couldnt do it . I will try again




No still cant . if you google it you can see it xxx

Transport worries

Hello loves ,

Something I have been meaning to mention for a bit is the price of public conveniences on train and coach stations .
30 p !!!! Unbelievable !!!!- and cruel . You can find a 20p in a hurry -you can find a ten pence but what`s the chances of finding them both in an emergency (which I tend to have ). It`s wrong !!

The other thing is all this booking ahead thats going on for trains and all that . It`s like "a tax on the spontaneous " as my friend Arthur Smith said to me in Wolverhampton.

I don`t want to spend all my time booking pigging tickets (Its like doing the journey twice ) but if you dont you get penalised dont you . It`s wrong

How come its 1.70 to town on the bus (About a mile ) but my friend Margaret went all the way from Southampton to london for 4.00 ?( ( over two hundred miles I should think ) Might not be wrong as such but does seem a bit rum .

Any road up I better go -I need to go to the lav luckily I am not intending toi travel till later on today so i can go in the comfort of my own home -and saving myself 30 p and a desperate routing around at the bottom of my bag so Kerching !!

All the best you loveley eight BArbara xxx

Eight of us

Hiya loyal eight .

Weather has changed hasnt it .

I have already started getting stuff for Christmas .

I hope I am not contributing to global warning by my early actions but I dont want to be in a mad panic in the last week like I usually am . I have got the selection boxes in and some jars of home made piccallilli so I am on my way .

Lets try and enjoy it . There will be a lot of poor mothers worrying about affording stuff for the kids this year with all the unemployment around . A doll and drum and a kick up the bum.... thats what we used to have

(and an tangerine and an apple )xxx

If you are free come to this jig at Birmingham Glee club 16th Nov . Its a very good line up with Zoe Lyons , Chris Neil and other great acts . its part of the SHOUT festival in Brum . a new festival celebrating gay and lesbian art and culture xxxx

Magnificent 7

Hiya and now we are 7 .

What do you think about all these conferences that are going on for the different parties-Labour and that ? I think a few things . Since when did that fellah off radio 4 morning show John thingy decide that who `s going to win the election. (according to him the conservatives have already won -no ones cast a vote yet ! - no wonder so many people don`t bother) And when will they all realise that what we want is not them all falling out and calling each other names and playing dirty tricks - NO ONES GOT ANY MONEY , WE DONT MAKE ANYTHING AND THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR OUR KIDS - why cant they all get together and sort it out . It beats me !!

All the best followers ,
