I don't do television or face-to-face interviews. I might do pre-booked telephone interviews but only if you can pay me in the Queen's precious coin. No Euros, no Dollars, and definitely no plastic cards with spying-for-the-government computer chips in them.

/ July 27, 2012That is awesome. You should do all the Olympickle prommotional advertising.
I sure hope nothing goes wrong during the opening cermonies that would end up embarassing England and the Queen…

/ July 27, 2012Dear pmao,
I’ve got the telly on now, it’s just starting.
It looks shite.

/ July 27, 2012It doesn’t start here for 6 hours. You are cheating. I hear there are going to be live sheep…

The whole thing looks like the bastard child of Charles Dickens and The Lord of The Rings. On laudanum.

/ July 27, 2012That sounds sort of cool to me.

/ July 27, 2012Dear pmao,
It gets slightly better a little while after the chimneys go up and the smoke starts. Makes it feel like home for us Northerners.

/ July 27, 2012Is the Queen going to go off a big ski jump? That would be cool.

No, she jumps out of a helicopter with James Bond.

/ July 27, 2012I can’t wait to see it. I hope she keeps her skirt down.

She does. She’s the Queen.

/ July 27, 2012We would expect no less from Her Majesty… Magesty? Madjestie? Oh, who knows… Her Royal Highness.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear pmao,
She looked like she was playing on her phone or digging muck out of her fingernails at one point.
Love Dotty xxx

/ July 28, 2012She has to fight that constant desire to smirk as well.

/ July 28, 2012Dear pmao,
I don’t.

/ July 28, 2012I suppose not.

Forty minutes later – my comment about Lord of the Rings has ALMOST come true!!! I’m psychic!!!!

/ July 27, 2012Stop ruining the surprise. My wife wants to watch it. So does Mollie. So I might as well watch it too.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 27, 2012Dear pmao,
You’ve just asked me about the Queen!
It does get good once it gets going.

/ July 27, 2012I want to know… but I don’t want to know… you know?
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 27, 2012Dear pmao,
Okay – can I just say one thing? If you’re still watching when all the countries come out, check out the shorts and shiney blue wellies on the Czech Republic team.
Love Dotty xxx
P.S. We’re only up to Fiji. They should run out instead of strolling – it’s the Olympics, not a walk in the park.
pouringmyartout
/ July 27, 2012Sounds a little like a Gay pride parade…
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear pmao,
Wait till you see the gold foil trim on the jackets of the British team when they come out at the end. So that’s the reason we’ve all had to save our old chocolate wrappers for the last two years.

/ July 28, 2012I hope they had to wear the tall bear skin hats. And Wellys… Wellies… Welees… rubber boots.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear pmao,
Did you watch it all? What did you think?
Love Dotty xxx
pouringmyartout
/ July 28, 2012It was both sophisticated and charming. I thought you were kidding about the Queen. I loved it. It was very English. We stopped watching during the parade of nations, so maybe there will be more good stuff.

/ July 27, 2012Olympickles… much better. Pickles & preserves competitions at the country shows/fairs as a nanna version of Masterchef. Perfect with Cumberland Sausages. Although I’m not quite sure what a Cumberland Sausage is…
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 27, 2012Dear Ella,
A Cumberland sausage is THE most perfect food in the whole wide world.

/ July 28, 2012I’m just watching the opening ceremonies now… I can just hear everyone outside England asking, “why the f is he singing Jerusalem when it’s supposed to be about England???”
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear tlsih,
All the way through it I was wondering how the unBritish would understand half of the references made – such as the short clips from Kes, Gregory’s Girl, and loads of others I can’t remember.
I thought the music they played while the countries were coming out was shite.

I’m watching the opening ceremonies now and I want to eat a bullet. I wish you had organized this instead, it would have been much better. And I love your Olympickles picture.

/ July 28, 2012Dear Mme Weebles,
Some of it was EMBARRASSING.
And I wish someone in the crowd had given fucking Cameron a bullet right in the forehead. (Sorry, I’m in a bad mood today. Fucking government bastards, I HATE THEM).

/ July 28, 2012Now they’re the kind of sponsors I’m talking about.
McDonald’s an Olympic sponsor? A world competition for physical feats of great achievement. Really?

I know. It’s bonkers. And they say WE’RE the mental ones.

/ July 28, 2012Dear Dotty,
You should have asked me to make some of the Olympickles – I’ve just begun to harvest Nasturtium “capers”
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear Missus Tribble,
I went into my garden on Friday for about 5 seconds – it’s gone wild, it’s like a jungle. My oldest rosemary bush has collapsed under the weight of itself because I haven’t trimmed it for two years.
Love Dotty xxx
Missus Tribble
/ July 28, 2012Dear Dotty,
Oh no! The rosemary bush can probably be saved if you hack it right back and straighten the trunk in the soil, and you can even shove a cutting or three in the ground if it really can’t be saved because at least one of those buggers will take and you’ll still have part of the original bush.
A few years ago a little bird decided to thank me for feeding it and pooped a seed into my shrub border. I failed to notice until the resulting rosemary sprig (which is now a great bushy monster) was about four inches high! It’s underneath the kitchen window, so Mister Tribble’s rosemary by the back gate has company now.
Love, Missus Tribble xxx
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 28, 2012Dear Missus Tribble,
I’ll ask Branwell if he’ll do it for me. I have a few more rosemary bushes I grew from cuttings from the collapsed one but I was sad to see the state of the big one.

I love pickled beetroot, and pickled onions, and those funny little cucumber things. But I have not tried pickled eggs as yet, nor those weird curvy green things – are they worms or snakes?

Peppers! They’re pickled peppers.
