When I bumped into the affable despot Jason on Friday , he rather cryptically mentioned that he'd never really liked John Lennon.
The superstar's music making wasn't an issue at all in all this, but Jason thought that he must have been a most disagreeable person in real life!
I don't really dislike many people, however,there is one old fart in the village that I cannot abide, and he, to be fair, wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire..but you get that in villages where two strong personalities clash. If you have a strong opinion in a village...there is no where to hide.
Having said all this, I may come across like a cross between Julie Andrews, Mary Berry and Mother Theresa on the blog, but I can assure all of you that I can be a right old c*+t when crossed by any unpleasant character who just happens to say the wrong word.
It is an ability that gets more pronounced the older I get.
I was once very loudly told off by a rancid woman in Tescos for parking the Berlingo in a covered mother and baby bay. The woman didn't allow me to explain that I was parked there so that my babies, the dogs, wouldn't get overheated on a remarkably hot day, and so very VERY loudly I told her to " fuck off and take her pug ugly baby with her!"
It was a cheap shot...but a funny one, as everyone could see that her baby was indeed pug ugly.
Like I said......I don't always act like Felicity Kendal.
I am blessed with a quick wit.
It is a gift inherited from my mother, who possessed a very sharp mouth, and it is a gift which has been honed by the increasing confidence of Middle age .
I am glad that there are some bonuses for getting older......
I will leave you with one of my favourite insults
