Cashing in on Lesbian fight

ONE by one they paraded in front of the television cameras for a news item. And one by one these big butch men said they were proud to be Lesbians. Read

New Cheryl Cole role’s cool

CHERYL COLE as the new Sharon Osbourne? Works for me. Outgoing X Factor judge Sharon was never afraid to speak out, can be abrupt, and has a horrendous husband. Read

Panicking fuels

IT’S as inevitable as death and taxes . . . what happens when someone tells you not to panic? You run around like headless chickens. Read

No time for telly ‘highlights’

ON my to do list this week . . . paint a wall so I can watch it dry. Ditto skirtings and doors. Clean the drains, wash hair, get the fluff out of belly button. Paint another wall. Read

Second class

THE Post Office doesn’t like customers. Why else would they close a perfectly good main branch in Eldon Square, Newcastle? Read

Bongo gone . . now for Fudge!

BUSKER Graeme Conway and his bongo drums have been banned from Newcastle because he’s too noisy. Read

A load of rubbish

BINMEN are wimps. I have it on the highest possible authority that our refuge disposal executives are shaking in their boots. Read

Shuffle off

GOODBYE, Blyth Valley Council. Now shuffle off quietly and let’s hear no more. The council — like the Monty Python parrot — will soon be deceased. It will be no more. It will be an ex-council. Read

Cashing in

BRITAIN 2008. Jailbird Hakim Benmakhlouf is deported back to Algeria halfway through his sentence for nicking things. Read

Durham Choristers Choir in tune but out of step

FOR an organisation where the blokes wear dresses, there’s still not a lot of equality in the Church of England. Read

Ticket check not cricket

NO ONE could have been impressed. The behaviour of one of the ticket inspectors on the Metro system one morning last week left a lot to desired. Read

A bit of sound advice

SHOUT it from the rooftops . . . noise pollution is one of the biggest headaches of modern life. Read

Showing their age

THE sight of two old codgers having a natter is not everyone’s idea of entertainment. Yet ITV expect us to watch Philip Windsor and Trevor McDonald chew the cud in a documentary this week. Read

Beef up support for Botham

SPORTSMEN hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. But not Ian Botham. The retired cricketer is an example of how stars should behave. Read

High time for an attitude change

I REGRET that I looked the other way travelling home on the Metro after a hard day at the office. Read

Mixed message from McCanns

ON the one hand, Kate and Gerry McCann want no stone unturned in the hunt for Madeleine. Read

Support for bin criminal is rubbish

I WON’T fall into the trap of calling Gareth Corkhill a working-class hero standing up for the rights of the ordinary man against bureaucrats. Read

Sugar with your blond moment?

I’VE been having a few blond moments lately. Not bad for a middle-aged bloke with mousy hair turning grey at the temples. Read

Meghnad Desai jibe is tasteless

WHAT can I say about Indian-born Labour peer Meghnad Desai? He is like a hot curry . . . brings you out in a sweat and has an alarming effect on the bowels. Read

Abuse of NHS staff must end

ONE in three ambulance staff in the North East were bashed by patients last year. Take time to consider that figure. It is a truly appalling indictment of how large sections of the community have no moral compass. Read
