ray gosling


I missed the brits last night -which I like to watch -was watching chinese figure skating at the winter olympics -(which I enjoyed ) - so didnt know it was on . I was talking to the women in the bread shop about it and she was telling me about Lady Gagag -who I love- when a man behind me started talikng about Ray Gosling and how he might be in trouble again .


If you dont know Ray Gosling used to be on the telly in the 1960`s . he used to be on programmes were people had a go at people in power . we dont have them any more . It was the days when union people were on the telly a lot . That doesnt happen any more either . any way he was always very entertaining - a bit like Adrian Chiles but not sat down talking to celebrities -out and about with ordinary people . (I like adrian dont get me wrong -but in those days you got out and about )


Any way this man told me that in the 70`s Ray ended up in trouble with the tax man -he owed 5,000 pounds and then it started adding up - fines etc and in the end he was bankrupt .


He recently started doing films again - stuff about pensioners and leicester and Nottingham (hes an east midlander - which i didnt know i thought he was from manchester ) and last week I think it was he was on Inside Out -which I like but I mssed this one because of Auntie Annes legs . Any way Ray said on telly , according to this man, that he had-a long time ago - put a pillow over his boy friends head when he was in hospital dying of aids and killed him .
Well I was really floored by this .
I never knew he was gay -not that it matters I suppose but I didnt .
And also I am now worried about him getting into trouble . I havn`t thought about him in years but when this man mentioned him I realised how much I liked him and his programmes and his point of view . I hope he`s going to be alright . I think he is a man of principle and that`s a good thing .

showzam Blackpool


Had a loveley time at The Grand theatre Blackpool . And the party after at the Tower ballroom was smashing . I didnt realise that it was like a fancydress thing and was in my ethel austen fleece and peacock black pants . still everyone was friendly -thats what its all about really . glamour counts for nowt if people are stuck up Ive always thought . these lot werent . but then again -thats blackpool for you ! Also bumped into my friend Romany the Magician who I met in Sheffield and I love so thats a real treat . also saw Mark Raffles who does a good trick with five silver hoops and the lad that runs the Speigeltent - Brett . Ian and keith came as well and our Valeries Daughter so all in all we had a good night xxx

muddled up dates


Sorry if I have caused confusion but the Blackpool Showzam is this sat . should be good . Blackpool is where we went as kids . Boiled eggs on the sand- sand on the boiled eggs . A sixpence for whoever spotted the tower first when we were going there . It seemed to take for ever to get there now its only about 4o mins on the train . Everything has changed - in those days no one had as much as heard of a tuna mayonaise baggette - now you cant move for them . xxx

Victorias Bunions


She must spend her life in agony . I have them and I have to be very careful even when wearing foot gloves from Mand S to have the right style or its like hot razor blades sawing into blood and bone . No wonder she looks so miserable when you see pictures of her - her feet are killing her thats what the matter is !
