The legend that was Frank Sidebottom and Little Frank. Never a hair out of place
Is red the new brown I’m talking about suntan’s of course so many people walking around with tennis tan this week, including my husband Paul and daughter Sara who spent the afternoon at the Calderstones tennis tournament last weekend and seemed under the false impression that you can’t get sunburned in this country. The fact that they have both been walking around the colour of lobsters for the last few days puts pay to that argument. Putting on sun cream in this country is always an after thought because we think it never gets that hot so it’s not so important but I think we’ve all learned our lesson this week.
Apart form the obvious and that’s to always put on sun screen There are two things people always get wrong in the sun one is to forget to protect their hair and scalp . The other is to think that its ok to put all kinds of concoctions on your hair to give it that ‘sun kissed’ effect the worst offender being lemon juice. Why people do it I’ll never know because all it does is make your hair get dryer and dryer until finally it becomes the consistancy of straw and begins to snap that’s when you realise that maybe that wasn’t such a good idea. What some people don’t realise is sitting in the sun all day it has the same effect on your hair as it does your skin. You have to restore the nourishment and the condition that the sun the sea and the sand takes out of it. And if you’ve been in the pool all day remember its treated with chlorine so unless you shampoo it out and protect it your going to come home with green hair! My rule is protection is always better than cure. Just like you put on sun tan cream use a protection spray for your hair or better still wear a hat.
If your going to get a hat it has to be a straw trilby, it’s the headgear of choice for the festival crowd
It’s been so hot recently that now they are telling us we are about to have a drought. It wasn’t that long ago that we were snowed in and had floods, now their’s a hose pipe ban and we’ve got no water, Don’t you think they should have saved a bit more, and maybe put all the excess water away for a rainy day!
All people have been saying this week was how rubbish England were. What a let down! They may be great individual players but they where not a team, and as they say their’s no ‘I’ in team.
Everyone is talking about the Kerry Katona programme on TV last week it wasn’t the usual sanitised and fun show this was raw and poignant and very sad. Most of us felt for Kerry she seemed like a troubled soul torn between the so called ‘celebrity’ world and who she really is
Sienna Miller over stepped the mark in her relationship with Jude Law and his family this week, and that had us all talking. She took Jude’s daughter by his first wife Saddie Frost to the hairdressers and got her haircut. Sadie went mad and so would we all. They may play at happy families for the cameras and pretend to be all grown up and mature and say things like ‘we’ve moved on’ or ‘I’m Happy for them’ but there are some things you just don’t do
I have been trying to explain all week who Frank Sidebottom was. Sadly Frank died this week but his memory lives on. Frank for those of you didn’t know was a comedy character whose trade mark was a big paper mache head. He had a proper Manchester twang, long before Liam Gallagher . Never seen without his large false head Frank was big in the eighties and still has a large cult following. He had a son little Frank who of course also had a large paper mache head. Sounds bizarre but once seen never forgotten and always very funny he will be missed especially by little Frank. You can listen to Frank’s world cup song on You Tube ‘Three shirts on me line’
Things that are spoiling the world cup for us apart form those horns – Adrian Chiles how miserable does he sound! Everytime he comes on we wants to switch off. Glad he doesn’t read the news!
