Fed Up.

Sassy Secrets Society ― I'm fed up with blogger being generally crap. I'm fed up with the fact that I can't think of anything to write about.So, is this it? Most probably. (More)

Childhood in the Past

Sassy Secrets Society ― It would appear that, as predicted, there is something horribly wrong with the world. Earlier this week, a survey revealed that ten percent of children have never ridden a bike; most have never played hopscotch; and half have never made a daisy chain... (More)

Back to a Simpler Place and Time.

Sassy Secrets Society ― If you leave the M6 southbound at junction 26 for the M58 interchange and negotiate the maze of a roundabout, you can see some houses hiding behind the trees in the distance. Thirty one years ago tomorrow, one of those houses was where I came into... (More)

No, I Don't Know Where I Am, Either.

Sassy Secrets Society ― On Sunday, I found myself in Birmingham once again. After all, if adventure does not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek it abroad! Thankfully, this visit didn't involve any sighting of the Cathedral Church of St Philip, or what... (More)

Not Important, Please Ignore ...

Sassy Secrets Society ― I never thought I'd say this. I'm quite missing Mr Saxophone Busker Man.Today, we're being treated to Pavarotti and Dame Joan Sutherland again. It's really very good. What on Earth has happened to our regulars? I miss the wailing strains of The... (More)

The End of a Friendship

Sassy Secrets Society ― A few days ago, my favourite comic, The Daily Ailment, did a re-run of their favourite story: women being dumped by their friends and how the whole sorry experience is more painful than being dumped by a man. I'm not too sure about that. After all, I... (More)

The Social Scene is ... Average.

Sassy Secrets Society ― I can well understand why men everywhere would be reeling with jealousy that they were born male. It means that they simply aren't privy to any of the wonderful ladies only social occasions that happen.Every month, except for when we don't, we get a... (More)

Proud Marketing Strategy.

Sassy Secrets Society ― One of my pet hates is when you're alone in public, for example sitting on the train or walking down the street, and you see or remember something hilarious and you have to burst out laughing. So, obviously, everyone else then turns and stares at you... (More)

I'm on the Way Up, How About You?

Flying the Flag.

Ted? I'm Going Mad.

An Evening with Kathrin and Peter.

Just Patching up a Few Cracks that Have Appeared.

Evidence That Karen Has Finally Flipped.

Sassy Secrets Society ― I hadn't long turned 15 when we took our annual family holiday in Minorca. For those of you who have never had the pleasure, Minorca is a marginally less English-Chav-Ridden island than its siblings, Majorca and of course Ibiza (pronounced Eye-beefa)... (More)

Karen's Sensible DVD Review. First One Ever.

Sassy Secrets Society ― Dear Reader, it seems slightly cruel to leave you all hanging on a knife edge with regards to my opinions on the CD given to me by Music-and/or-Misery Man. As it turns out, it's not just your bog standard CD, it's actually a DVD. Which is even better... (More)

Who'd Have Thought?

Sassy Secrets Society ― Yesterday, I figured out what is wrong with the world. You can't buy a stamp. Honestly. What is the country coming to, when you can't simply go into a post office and buy a stamp? I suppose I should begin with some form of disclaimer. In a former... (More)

I Am a Music Man, I Come from Far Away

Just another manic Monday

Adieu, I Shall Be Leaving You, Then.

That Fine Etiquette Which Probably Used to Exist Between Ladies and Gentlemen.

Sassy Secrets Society ― Much as I loved fair Vienna, a couple of things did disappoint me. What were they? Well, firstly, I was there for all that time, and I didn't see a single Viennese whirl. Not even one! I mean, who doesn't like Viennese whirls? Nom! You know, it... (More)

Classic FM's Contribution to Broadcasting.

Sassy Secrets Society ― I'm fickle, but at the moment I'm listening to Classic FM to get me out of bed of a morning. I am unsure how much longer I am going to be able to abide it for, however. I swear this station gets worse and worse on a daily basis. Granted, we've moved... (More)

Families

Kids, Pay Attention in German.

Sassy Secrets Society ― I begin this post, uncharacteristically, with a public service announcement aimed at all 17 year old German A-Level students. I know that at the moment, it's all a bit of a laugh, what with being asked to translate smutty sentences like "er kommt... (More)

Halcyon Days of Studenthood.

Sensible Things I Did in Vienna.
