Bad Mutha: Drinking while up the duff, anyone?
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2009/04/drinking-while-up-duff-anyone.html
The News in your area. Wednesday, 1 April 2009. Drinking while up the duff, anyone? Interesting to read about that pregnant woman who was thrown out of a pub when staff spotted her sipping beer. Caroline Williams, 26, who is 23 weeks pregnant, said she felt "angry and humiliated" after being told to leave the Sussex Cricketer pub in Hove at the weekend. She had drunk one pint of lager already when the manageress refused to serve her friend another half pint, also meant for Caroline. Of their punters to b...

The News in your area. Thursday, 18 December 2008. The forgotten prezzies of Christmas past. If you're having a major stress-out about trying to buy your kids that "perfect" toy to make their face light up for Christmas, here's a thought. Can you remember what you bought them last Christmas? More to the point, can they remember? Go on, I dare you. Ask them: "What did Santa leave you under the tree last year? I bet you all you'll get is a few blank looks and a possible: " Cadbury's. And neither will you.

Bad Mutha: September 2008
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_09_01_archive.html
The News in your area. Friday, 19 September 2008. Lived with him for four years now and our relationship has hit a desperately rocky phase. Oh, he has his good points. He’s good looking, cool, suave and sophisticated - I’m the envy of many of my friends, in fact. But sometimes his behaviour is so cruel and despicable towards me, the kids, our neighbours - I just can’t bear the torment any more. I think the time has finally come to admit it. I hate my cat. The thing is, DD2, who is 17 months absolutely ad...

richard baker: The Budget that never was
http://richardbaker.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2010/03/budget-that-never-was.html
The News in your area. Thursday, 25 March 2010. The Budget that never was. The penny seems to be dropping today that it wasn’t Wednesday’s Budget that mattered but the one that follows it. If the Tories win power, they’ll dress it up dramatically as an emergency Budget to be announced within 50 days of taking office. One way or another, the amount of money the public sector has to spend on projects which go beyond their basic remit faces significant cutbacks. So later on this year the Government depa...

Bad Mutha: Gifts for teachers? Eh?
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/11/gifts-for-teachers-eh.html
The News in your area. Thursday, 20 November 2008. There was a woman on the bus the other day stressing about what she was going to get her DD’s teacher for Christmas. Would chocolates be all right or would the teacher be fed up if she received 30 boxes of Maltesers. Should she suggest that the other parents club together to get one big thing? Should she get vouchers for somewhere or was that a bit off? And it suddenly stuck me. Never once bought her teacher a gift for Xmas. To be fair, I’ ve. My point i...

Bad Mutha: October 2008
http://badmutha.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_10_01_archive.html
The News in your area. Friday, 24 October 2008. I seem to have been born without a basic skill that most females possess as a matter of course. The ability to do hair up into pony tails and bunches and stuff. I always made a right hash of the process when I was a little girl and wanted to copy my mates with their cute plaits and funky ponies. And now I'm a parent, I'm subjecting my two DDs. To similar humiliating attempts. And now I've got the same problem with DD2, who is 18 months. PIG TAILS DARN IT!

The News in your area. Thursday, 15 January 2009. A kid is for life. My sister said something that really wound me up the other day. 8220;Ooh it’s just like having kids when you’ ve. I know she was only trying to get across the point that her dogs are hard work. But it’s NOT the same as having kids. Not at all. For instance, when she was making this observation, she was sitting in my house while her dogs were at home on their own. Not without getting a criminal record anyway. Maybe there are a few simila...
