Here in Blighty, it's Mothering Sunday (AKA Mother's Day), on Sunday 22nd March - next weekend basically.

So on TV we have been bombarded with new albums from the old crooners like Michael Ball (yes, he is to singing what Canon and Ball are to comedy in my opinion). He has limited, if any, original material and just murders every decent operatic that ever existed or, worse, tries to do upbeat stuff which sounds like supermarket music. He puts all of his boring old, tired renditions onto a new CD, adds a bonus and turfs it out for Mother's Day as a NEW album :rolleyes:

But two things really took the biscuit for me this week.

Irk number one: TV advert for a CD with popular HOUSEWORK songs - tunes that your poor, overworked mother will be able to jive to whilst she is scrubbing the toilet, mopping the floors and ironing all your clothes for school. How about the kids get off their backside and DO the chores themselves and give mother a break? What a cheek! Lovely way to enhance you poor mother's drudgery!

Irk number two: A new branch of clothing and housewares store Richleys have opened in a town nearby. At the back they have a huge notice which reads "Mother's Day, 22 March, Fantastic gifts for as little as £1"

:lol: Mum actually spotted that one and luckily she saw the funny side but I would be mortified to be worth so little! Not that money is the object, it's the gesture that counts but I'd happily strangle any kid of mine that bought me a CD to enhance my household chores experience :ha:

Housework songs? I will purchase that, you can come over and I will play them. I will snore on the couch while you do your duty... :)


There is no problem in the human condition that cannot be solved by the proper placement, timing, tamping and fusing of high explosives.

That's okay, Cimmee. Whilst you're sleeping I'll raid your housekeeping tin and buy myself a flight back home after cleaning the toilet bowl to within an inch of it's life - with your toothbrush :p
