Proper entry today after Santa yesterday.
First of all it is worth thinking about all those who are in some trouble today either through illness or domestic problems - PB is a great forum for people to articulate these problems and I wish all the people in some trouble best wishes at this difficult time.
Just to put on record that Mandy Rice Davies has died at the age of 73.
Who she?
As a 19 year old she was involved in the Profumo political crisis in the UK in 1963 - one of a number of girls who consorted with politicians and peers - and in a court case she famously replied to a question from a barrister who said that his client, Lord Astor, said he had not slept with MRD, as she had claimed - her response, which is now in the Oxford Book of Quotations was
‘He would say that, wouldn’t he’
Astor never recovered from that.
The story took me back to the time when girls had bouffant hair styles, wore stockings and suspenders, and never shaved their pubic hair.
This is what she wore to court
She became a singer and actress and with her third husband was a friend of Mrs Thatcher. She certainly brought a lot of fun into peoples’ lives and never said sorry!
As at any time of year life goes on over Christmas - although you do wonder at times - and on tv series come to s conclusion before the ‘festive season’ when they reappear in a ‘Christmas Special’ recorded three or four months ago.
Last night it was the final of Strictly Come dancing - and I must say of the three real finalists I would have been happy for anyone to win. There was no one who was there because they had some kind of special grouping voting for them to keep them there.
In the end the right person won - Caroline Flack with Pasha K who was both energetic and sensuous - but the Argentinian tango of Simon Webbe was just fantastic - and I would have liked him to sneak it.
It’s here if it works OK
