Originally from Portsmouth (and still support the team) but now live in Walthamstow in London with my husband and greyhound. Profile name is due to my love of recounting comedy lines from sketch shows etc. At least I hope that’s how I got that nickname!
Had this lovely boy in our life for one year today. An amazing 12 months.

Well I think we can safely say that there will not be any Oscars or BAFTA’s handed out for the acting at the world cup draw! My mute button is getting lots of use tonight #worldcupdraw #fifa

Sort this out #bbc. You’re the national broadcaster and this type of spelling is dreadful considering it’s the main story of the whole day and has been for hours.

For the last three nights I’ve had to calm my dog due to fireworks. What is it? A Level results, a few birthdays or humans just being insensitive c*n*s? Last night they went on until 11.40pm. I’ve had enough of people not caring about others. When did we stop being thoughtful?

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

As a mortgage broker without any ties to estate agents I had to watch #panorama tonight. Aside from proper regulation that is needed I’d like to see all offers on properties having to go through an independent portal or website that only sellers can see. That would fix a lot of problems.

Gene Hackman played a megalomaniac who wanted to bomb territory and replace it with his own real estate. And won an Oscar playing a racist sheriff. Crucially he played them both as villains.
