Piggerish: Over-use of "lovely" alert
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2009/12/over-use-of-lovely-alert.html
Sunday, 20 December 2009. Over-use of "lovely" alert. Terribly sorry if yesterday's post gave you nightmares. Let's try a couple of lovely heartwarming scenes instead - firstly, the ice dance from my third-favourite Christmas film ever, Edward Scissorhands. And secondly, a lovely touching moment from my second-favourite Christmas film ever, Gremlins. (Unfortunately I can't embed the YouTubery on this one, so you'll have to click here. There, that's better. Lovely. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Piggerish: The feminism, Assange and freedom of speech Venn diagram of doom
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2010/12/feminism-assange-and-freedom-of-speech.html
Tuesday, 7 December 2010. The feminism, Assange and freedom of speech Venn diagram of doom. A question has been revolving inside my brain for the past few days. It has taken up so much brain space that I no longer have the capacity to think about what I'm getting you for Christmas - sorry. The question in question is this: "How am I supposed to believe in free speech and be a feminist too, in the light of this Assange thing? Anyway, I've decided that I can be a feminist and refuse to disbelieve the alleg...

Piggerish: Big yellow digger
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2009/12/big-yellow-digger.html
Tuesday, 22 December 2009. As an X Factor fan, you might think I'd be bitter about the Christmas number one debacle this year, but I am not. Let Rage have their day - it means nothing. NOTHING. Well, since you ask, my faith in the Christmas charts was first shaken back in the 1990s when the following CLASSIC TUNE was outsold by Mr Blobby. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gentlemen, lets close up for Christmas. Blue Peter Christmas Special. Its sentimental, I know. Over-use of lovely alert.

Piggerish: I am woman, hear me express my opinion in a measured and reasonable way
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2010/08/i-am-woman-hear-me-express-my-opinion.html
Thursday, 26 August 2010. I am woman, hear me express my opinion in a measured and reasonable way. There's been a lot of nonsense talked about feminism. Women seem to reject the term just as easily as men do, thinking it means "man-hater" or "shouty unshaved lesbian with a megaphone", or simply "opinionated". Not very feminine - what self-respecting woman would want to get a reputation for being opinionated? Across the world, the lesson is repeated and reinforced: women's bodies are not their own. There'...

Piggerish: "When a star falls, a heart stops beating", fa la la la la, la la la laaaaa
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2009/12/when-star-falls-heart-stops-beating-fa.html
Saturday, 19 December 2009. When a star falls, a heart stops beating", fa la la la la, la la la laaaaa. The harrowing tale is read here by Kylie Minogue. Yes, Kylie Minogue. And if you're wondering whether Disney ever made a more child-friendly version, perhaps involving a talking match and a happy ending, your answer is a very firm NOT ON YOUR NELLY. There, that got you in the Christmas mood, didn't it? Throws mince pie at wall*. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gentlemen, lets close up for Christmas.

Piggerish: Ten... pygmies farming
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2009/12/ten-pygmies-farming.html
Friday, 18 December 2009. You know how I said yesterday that people sing 'five gold rings' with the kind of gusto normally reserved for Sonia's lines in 'Do they know it's Christmas? No need to check yesterday's post - that's exactly what I said, give or take). Well, for my second daily Thing of Christmas, I hereby present Eddie Izzard singing at you. Here's hoping I can link all of these posts together in the same seamless and professional way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Its sentimental, I know.

Piggerish: Sexism, on your telly, every ad break? Do me a favour, love.
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2011/01/sexism-on-your-telly-every-ad-break-do.html
Friday, 28 January 2011. Sexism, on your telly, every ad break? Do me a favour, love. Oh dear, the Andy Gray and Richard Keys sexism thing has rumbled on somewhat, hasn't it? At least now that they've lost their jobs we can all get back to normal though, eh? You know - normal society, and normal 21st century broadcasting, where sexist views just aren't acceptable any more. Because they're not, are they? But what's that you say? It is sexist towards women because they're being portrayed as doormats who'd ...

Piggerish: An appeal on behalf of Olly Murs
http://piggerish.blogspot.com/2009/12/appeal-on-behalf-of-olly-murs.html
Sunday, 6 December 2009. An appeal on behalf of Olly Murs. There was no point in writing about last week's X Factor because (a) I've said it all before, and (b) the most interesting thing that happened was Rihanna appearing on a pre-watershed ITV1 programme to sing about shooting herself in the head. We all know how I feel about that song. So I'm going to leave well alone. I'm choking up just writing about it. Perhaps it's because, for the first time ever,. I realise you might be a fan of one of the othe...
