Stacey Solomon Parties Like a Celebrity...

Solomon parties like a celebrity!

Concerns have been raised for the health of Stacey Solomon, who can be seen partying like a celebrity on Iceland adverts during every advert break in every episode of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here this year. This series long binge has now seen Solomon glugging cocktails and gobbling party snacks from the popular supermarket chain for the last two weeks. A health expert commented "It is just not possible for the human body to keep up this level of partying like a celebrity for any length of time. If she is not careful Stacey may be storing up health problems for the future with this fortnight long binge of drinking, posed dancing, pretending to talk to other party goers and to top it off a diet of iceland party snacks, such as mini bannoffe pies and bite size prawn toasts." One source from the show said that producers have grave concerns that if she keeps up this current level of partying like a celebrity Solomon may end up all partied out by Christmas.

Frankie The Snowman

Frankie the Snowman 

is your cheeky chappy mate

with a fag in his mouth 

his big white face

and his eyes as big as plates

Oh Frankie the snowman

was all set to be a star

But there was too much snow

and the judges know

that he partied far too hard!

(rap break) He is a snowman a snowman he could never say no man.

The pubs and clubs, the clubs and pubs

and the house parties with fans.

Snow snow snow just say no no no

oh oh oh

Oh Frankie the snowman

he had never felt so low

when he packed his bags 

and he took his fags

and said goodbye to Barlow

Oh Frankie the snowman

How will the story end?

In a media storm

he feels nice and warm

now he's found his Frankie friends!

Temporary Adventures....

Which Floor?

Due to the fact I am very much not in demand in the world of work at the moment I have signed up for some office temping. It put me in mind of an embarrassing moment from my last temporary temping adventures! This took place in a lift in a corporate law firm. Having just got myself some nice soup for lunch from the restaurant (they don't have a canteen in a law firm they have a restaurant!) I found myself sharing the lift with a slightly stressed law type, suited, booted and with briefcase clutched in his tense grip. I thought I heard him say "What sort of soup have you got?" I cheerily answered "Tomato!" He looked a bit surprised and said "Pardon?" I said more quietly "tomato." to which he replied with a very puzzled look on his face "I'm sorry I said which floor do you want." I squeaked "Lower Ground please." Goodness knows what he made of my shouts of tomato in the lift that day but I was as red as my tomato soup as a result!


What embarrassing things have you done?? Do they come back to you in the night and make you burn with the embarrassment all over again??? Share them below please! It will make you feel better it really will and more importantly it will make me feel better!! 

Pippin Cracked Cocozza...

If you look very closely you may be able to spot Brian Pippin P.I. in the background of the shot tailing Cocozza.

If you have been wondering why we haven't seen much of Brian Pippin P.I. recently then this picture may shed some light on his whereabouts. It has emerged that a certain Mr G. Barlow had hired the services of Brian Pippin P.I. to tail suspect Cocozza during a week long bender prior to his shock departure of the X Factor a few weeks ago!

It won't surprise you to hear that Brian Pippin P.I. cracked the Cocozza case wide open, maintaining his his 100% solve rate. This is because Brian Pippin P.I. is The Master of Disguise!!!

Inside the World of Celebrity Eyebrows...

Bruce and Bernard McLintoch better known as the wildman of rock Liam Gallagher's stage eyebrows

Today we meet twins Bruce and Bernard McLintoch, who are better known as famous Oasis frontman and rock icon Liam Gallagher's stage eyebrows. Bruce and Bernard were born in 1965 and grew up in a small tenement flat in Glasgow's Springburn with their mother Flora, father Harold, a brush salesman, and 5 other siblings. They both left school at 16 and moved to Manchester in 1982 to find fame and fortune in the music industry. But it wasn't to be and what followed, Bruce and Bernard now term "the wilderness years." Bruce explains "We were in a band at that time called Frosted Octopus trying to hit the big time, me on Bass and Bernard on lead guitar. There was Mad Mikey Shaw on drums and Graham two shoes Michaelson on vocals, he was called two shoes as he would go on stage barefoot but wearing two shoes on his hands, that was his thing." But Frosted Octopus never did hit the big time and after 7 years the band fell apart due to the a heavy touring schedule and the addictions of some of its members. Mikey Shaw was heavily addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs and Bernard was addicted to Wella Styling Gel. "I was on 4 or 5 tubs a day at this point." Bernard shrugs "There was no hiding it from Bruce and the rest of the band I was gelled out my nut morning, noon and night. and it got worse when Frosted Octopus split man I was in Gel hell." With Bruce and Bernard now estranged from the rest of the band and each other it was the turning point for Bernard who booked into rehab, got clean and hasn't touched styling gel or any other product since.

The McLintoch twins reunited in 1991 and moved into a new house in Manchester to make a fresh start, next door lived a family called the Gallaghers and it was at a party at the Gallagher's house that Bernard and Bruce were introduced to Liam, who had just formed a band with some friends. Liam started to invite Bruce and Bernard along to rehearsals and after a few weeks formally asked them to join Oasis in the position of his stage eyebrows. "We were delighted." beams Bruce "We had a ball during our time in Oasis, we have travelled the world, we've partied with celebrities and we have played to crowds of thousands. " A lot is made of the relationship between Liam and his brother Noel Gallagher, who has since quit Oasis due to the rift between them. However, Bernard assures us that he and Bruce have never got on better. "I dunno it could be seeing Noel and Liam at each others throats all the time but me and Bruce have only got tighter since we have been Liam's stage eyebrows. We have a right laugh on stage but you'd never know it. Liam never cracks a smile. The man's a pro!" 

It is hard to know what the future holds for Oasis and for Bernard and Bruce, now in their late forties. With Liam and Noel currently locked in a bitter court battle it seems there will be no return to the glory days for this British band. However, Bernard and Bruce remain positive and excited for the future. Bruce laughs "We will continue to work as Liam's stage eyebrows for as long as he want's us to and as for everything else. Well.. we've just got to roll with it don't we?"
