This began as a tale of two gay men, a cat and an octogenarian. It's not a sitcom but I'm not entirely sure it's real life. As a couple we realised we had a choice: either write about life with the grumpy old dwarf and try to see the funny side or bump him off and put him in the skip outside next door. Since that time we have moved on ... 7 years later I came back to update things! So now there are two men, two dogs and a bungalow in Barrybados.

Bunch of Charlies

This bunch actually won Eurovision. The backing singers appear to be channelling Charlie's Angels while their lead singer is channelling who...?
  • Roy Orbinson
  • Elvis Presley
  • Rosie O'Donnell
  • Fred Flintstone
Perhaps all four at once; no wonder she has no room to tuck in a shirt. Are they all touching her like a table at a seance... or trying to ensure she keeps her arms down not to show the sweat rings on her rented tuxedo.

They take forever to show up on stage to get their prize and we surmise the lovelies have got their hair entangled or at least put someone's eye out with their curls that appear to be sprayed into steel springs. Girls in my school went for this plastic flick look back in 1977! Even my Nan knew when to back away from the Elnette bottle and she was a devotee of the lacquer to the end.

Wogan calls them prison wardresses but I have a hint they may be Beauty School Drop-outs. Or perhaps they failed an audition to be a Cadbury's Flake slut... their mouths are in that 'Oooh Chocolate' moment. Hers is in a more realistic 'chocolate now' shape!!!
