RIP Michael Jackson: your passing has shown the power of Twitter

There was Michael Jackson, milling around somewhere at the back of my consciousness in a box labelled “top tunes, disturbed person, poor old thing”, and I’d gone out to supper last Thursday and came back at about 11pm, made a cup of tea and logged on to Twitter, as you do, whereupon I found hundreds of people were posting about Jackson being taken to hospital, being in a coma, possibly being dead.

Lighten up, Auntie, and ditch the leaden middle managers

I was a little bit disappointed by those expenses charged by BBC executives and revealed by the corporation last week in another of those sudden outbursts of “openness and transparency”. I had hoped we might be able to gather once more around the guillotine like a tricoteuse, finishing off the sweater we started with the bankers and which now has 12 sleeves as a consequence of our ghastly politicians

Britannia shrivels under Gordon Brown

At least the mullahs still take Britain seriously. While the rest of the world has been laughing at our expenses scandal, last week Manochehr Mottaki, Iran’s foreign minister, paid us the highest diplomatic compliment – that of believing in our malevolent powers. Mottaki blames the democratic Twitter revolution on the activities of dozens of James Bonds flown in by MI6 from London

(Bitter) Sweet Relief, Daddy’s Day, Swim Report, Potty World

One morning last summer, I put my ring on like I do every other morning.  Sure, it was a little snug, but I was six months pregnant and had another baby running around, so I really needed people to see the symbol of marriage on my finger.  I guess I felt like I was being judged enough by having a baby on my hip and another on the way. Anywho, the summer heat coupled with my swelling belly everything made it impossible to take my ring off later that day.  And the next day.  And the next.  A m

t-shirt into toddler dress, jeans into pencil case + coffee sleeve

June has been such a busy month! I’ve been making wedding, birthday, anniversary and Father’s Day gifts, and haven’t had much time for anything else. Today I finished a proper refashion and I’m excited to get back to doing more! Here’s the original shirt: And here’s the final dress. It’s a little big, but I’m hoping that she’ll grow into it by the end of summer.

My Tour Of Duty In Computer Hell

Into every life some Computer Hell must happen and I suppose it is my turn.  Kind of like jury duty, my number to experience computer difficulties has come up.  I’ve successfully stalled such problems for about two years, but now, finally, I think the end has arrived and I can no longer dodge my rightful tour of duty in Computer Hell.   About a month ago I was working on the kids’ desktop computer.  This is an old eMachine computer that was purchased nearly 8 years ago.  It was obsolete, easil

‘Adults only’ should mean more than porn

It’s impossible to guess what will scar children for the future. My boyfriend watched Halloween, Death Ship and Jaws as a child, and remains unafraid of Hallowe’en, Nazi ghost ships and sharks. Actually, he loves sharks, and would cheerfully keep one as a pet if our bathroom were slightly bigger. I, meanwhile, saw an episode of Hart to Hart in which chefs were killed in the manner of their speciality. The beef expert was found hanging in a meat locker, on a hook. I am now vegetarian, and so afraid of an enclosed cold space that I won’t go anywhere that doesn’t have a window, and never travel without a coat.

Bore for Britain, Dave. It’s your national duty

There’s a rude word that won’t appear in this column. As a child your columnist was taught to avoid it. The word begins with l, and the three-letter version means untruth. The four-letter version describes someone who habitually tells untruths. These terms should hang in the air, on the tip of my argument’s tongue, tantalisingly unarticulated. They should hang unvoiced, too, above the figure of our present Prime Minister.

The fans killed their idol. They always do

Outside UCLA hospital they gather with their candles and their teddies, spooky lookalikes in full Thriller garb, wan teenagers wearing a single lace glove. They sway and sing I’ll Be There with sad faces to disguise the serotonin buzz from their frenzied collective mourn-in. Fans cry now for Michael Jackson, but they killed him. They always do.

Candidate for Ward 2 seat urges residents to go to polls June 30

With six candidates competing for the Ward 2 Town Council position, voters must choose from a fairly large field and each of us has brought a unique perspective to the campaign. I would like to say how proud I am to be a part of the Hilton Head Island community and how honored that I am to be running for this office. I gave careful consideration to the importance of this position when I decided to run and I did so because I care deeply about the Hilton Head Island community.

Women, West Brom, the burka and me

I was once asked if I'd like to be the mascot at a West Bromwich Albion football match. It involved me having to wear a large thrush costume. I mean, of course, the bird. It wasn't some tasteless promotional event where I was dressed as an irritating rash and then seized upon by a man dressed as a tube of Canesten.

Today's tragic victim, tomorrow's feral brat

Frankly, it's distressing how illogical we are about cruelty to children. Remember the national spasm of grief when we saw that smudgy picture of Baby P: the blond curls, the wistful expression? We grieved like sentimental saps, gripped by the thought of the poor soul dying in agony, unloved and abused. And we hugged our own children tighter, congratulating ourselves that they would never experience anything like Peter's brief, terrible existence. I did it; every mother did it. It was a kind of surreptitious mother porn.

Ed Balls, you can't win by banning competition

What one word would you use to describe yourself? This is the question that a highly selective London prep school asks children who come for an interview. Many of the seven-year-olds, perfectly tutored, say “clever”. It's far more interesting to ask adults. One CEO simply said “rich”. For others it's wishful thinking; a high-powered lawyer replied “mother”.

Why Iran is obsessed with the British wily fox

In a briefing to heads of foreign missions in Tehran this week, Manochehr Mottaki, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, lambasted the West for its criticism of the Iranian elections. Taking his lead from the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mr Mottaki reserved his severest criticism for Britain.
