Slightly foxed. Lancastrian. Obscurist. Goonatic. Beatle nut. Christian. Quondam and eventual jazz pianist, I hope. Massively over-sensitive. Kiboshed by ME. Hobbies: leaning against the sideboard gasping for breath.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Still around! Got married again a couple of years ago aged 91.

GRAHAM KERR was huge in the 70’s. THE GALLOPING GOURMET (1968-72) His cookery programme was a global sensation, nom’d for 2 Emmy’s & only ended when he was injured in a car crash. Someone really should make a biopic on him.

I’ve got the longest fuse known to man. However, dealing with a care home manager just now who was completely unwilling or incapable of understanding how utterly crap they are, I yelled ‘Bollocks!!!’ at the outset, and the meeting didn’t go any better from then on. Aggressive, me? No, just furious.

Just think. If the film 1941 had been a hit then there could have been a Goodies movie directed by Spielberg. As Bill said, "One day we had a call from Steven Spielberg. He left a message saying he wanted to make a Goodies film. We laughed it off, but it was true." 1941 tanked, so it didn't happen

RIP Bill Oddie - major part of my formative years. Here he is back in 2019, at the last ever recording made by The Goodies, telling Dirk Maggs how to do everything. That was the most joyous night I’ve spent in a theatre for many a year.

I've always felt both Bill Oddie and Eric Idle were frustrated rock stars and if they'd had any sense should have formed a supergroup called ODDLE

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

Watching Shirley Valentine yet again to get me in the mood for a forthcoming holiday…and the US dub is really irritating. We’ve lost the full Scouse beauty of ‘two rabbits havin’ a shag’, amongst lots of other bits.
