It was only a couple days ago I was watching Carrie Fisher in a Christmassy episode of the comedy-panel-quiz 8 Out of 10 Cats, and marvelling (once again) at how acerbic and awesome she was… funny, feisty, and full of … Continue reading →

No Sugar For Pud…

Posted on 22/12/2016 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains bewigged badgers and SPOILERS!!!] And so the latest series of The Apprentice (UK) has come to an end, and sadly my fave contestant, Frances Bishop, didn’t win a life-changing investment from Lord Sugar… but she did at least survive … Continue reading →

A Very Merry Musgraves To Y’All!

Posted on 02/12/2016 by Dee CrowSeer
