We interrupt this advent to bring you more family ramblings here at Bad Taste Central! The marzipan I am eating right now tastes pretty good to be honest but I am surrounded by bits of utter awfulness and tat and I am wondering really how much this has cost me and what the hell I am gonna do with it once Bad Santa has passed!? Bad breeds bad I am discovering-my poor tacky robin who whistles a fairly unhappy tune it has to be said has been involved in an accident and now tweets on one foot. My 99p Christmas tree has lost its supports and is now only held up with gaffa tape and good will-each time I look at it I am reminded of Jack Duckworths glasses! RIP! Hopefully we will all make it to Christmas day in one piece. Ever since our beloved black cat Celly (traditionally a bringer of bad luck) left us we have had a run of not good things happening far beyond robins ankles or tree supports-the car has been very sick, the washing machine has given up the ghost, my favourite plate was broken, 2 out of 3 of us has had a dreadful vomiting virus (hence lack of blogging!), our phone has died (ok I did put it in the washing up bowl!), the bank account has been very poorly and my personal stereos anti-rolling device has decided to quit leaving Otis Redding warbling along like a pigeon! (See if you can work out which two of those together made for a terrible combination!! Answers on a postcard...) There have been more disasters too private to mention! Its been a strange old time! However we all remain grateful for the good fortune we generally recieve in what has been a few weeks of truly dreadful global news. Ophelia of course has remained stoical and solid throughout-a role model to us all! Jeez I am so waiting for her to crack!
Good tidings come from the Scream in Space team (see a few posts back!) in that although Ophelias scream did not chart highly there is still a chance that her vocals may make it in to space (because she was so entertaining!) and indeed that she might even make it on to some supporting bbc programme in early Jan 2013-permission given and we await her 10 seconds of fame! This week brings panic buying a bad taste outfit for myself (I know I've had ages but I am so fussy about bad taste-do I do late 70's or early 80's??), attending a carol concert, a festive meal, a Christmas do, a cocktail party and no doubt swearing lots because the whole blooming world has run out of cranberries and I've been disorganised again! Hey ho! I'll be sure to keep you posted with Cherry B and festive bakewell in hand! Cheerio!
