Well, now that I've finally plucked up the courage to pen this blog, I suppose I ought to introduce myself. The ranting housewife bit is pretty self explanatory, I am just that, a housewife, but what a housewife!! I'm pretty representive of most of my ilk, 2 sprogs, one an adolescent and one of the common garden pre school variety. Yeah I know, big age gap, well that equals long story, for another time maybe. Of course when I say I'm just like most housewives, I do have some quirks that set me apart. For a start I don't appreciate the music of James Blunt, (hereafter to be referred to as bloody James Blunt) and I'm fed up of discussing the sprogs with all the other mothers I know. For those of you yet to delight the earth with the fruits of your loins, just remember your sprogs are fascinating only to you and your fellow pro-creationist, never to anyone else (rant over). Back to the point, I'm one of those "bloody guardian reading librials" that the Daily Mail warns you about on a weekly basis and because I live a life unfettered by a proper job, my current addiction is Jeremy Vines lunchtime radio show. This means I spend quite a lot of my lunchtime shouting at the radio, which is (probably) quite annoying for my neighbours, so before they slap an ASBO on me, I'm going to start ranting on my blog instead. I'll be regularly briefing you on my opinions on Jezza, articles from the gruniad/observer and because I'm one of those strange females who appreciates good music (my favorite radio show in my teens was John Peel), I'll be giving you the benefit of my current listening essentials. What more could you ask for, dear reader?
