Everything in this pic is naughty but nice.

Rosie is naughty all the time yet she’s the sweetest, nicest little girl you could ever imagine. I swear that there is no nicer experience than DM shouting ‘incoming’ when he opens the bedroom door and in a split second four paws land on your chest and a hairy snout is pushed in your face.

DM’s hand? Well, need I say more?

Guitars – well, rock and roll is the naughtiest thing in the world isn’t it?

What’s strange is that I regard myself as a bit of a language obsessive and I had NO IDEA that nice once meant foolish and then it meant wanton!!! I like the idea of wanton (you know, as in 'bridget jones, wanton sex goddess with a bad man between her thighs' much more than foolish.

Where have I got this nonsense? From ‘Balderdash and Piffle’ a fabulous programme about the English language that the very wonderful Beeb have made. I don’t care what my Daddy says (he IS my Daddy after all) but I still think the BBC is the greatest British Institution there is.

We finally got around to seeing a ‘Balderdash and Piffle’ this week because we now have this fab gadget called a Sky Plus box, which means we were able to record B&P while we were reliving our yoof and watching ‘Life on Mars’ – an excuse by a 2006 producer to make a completely un-PC (not police constable, politically correct) Sweeney like cop show, with jokes about tits, chain smoking and dirty cops.

I love B&P – it’s such a great programme. DM says some of the things they’re discussing should be consigned to the realms of the ‘deeply dippy’ but I love the fact that supposedly ‘BYTs’ (bright young things) of today have NO idea what gaffes they are making….

Now take my company’s BYT – he stood up in front of a client and spent an hour talking about renumeration……I rest my case!!!

Last year I was doing the second of my 'songs that changed my life' and I was delighted by a guest who was someone I've never heard from before or since quoting me poetry. I love that about pbase and thanks Rick - you made my day.
