HOW TO LOSE DIGITAL FRIENDS AND PISS PEOPLE OFF
So I made a massive social faux pas on Twitter. I talked about a friend’s party and that friend got very upset because she is in the public eye and suddenly because of my ‘tweet’ she had press calling her trying to find out details of her party. One of my followers re tweeted my tweet onwards and this snowballed and suddenly I had a very upset friend texting me telling me what I had done. I was mortified.

What on EARTH was that on Channel Four last night? If you, like me, were settling down for some decent post watershed drama and encountered the full horror of Black Mirror, I bet you were equally shocked.

NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED…
I’ve just read the Sunday Times leader from last week. (It takes me a week to get around to reading the Sunday Papers. By the time today comes around I am pleased to announce I am fully abreast of all old news). Anyway, the Times leader announced that all women will soon get the right to an elective caesarean section. WHAAAAAAAAAT???? What about me? A bit frickin late aint it???
When I asked my obstetrician if I could please have a C Section please sir, he said no. Of course he did. So, Zoe Lewis, the Oliver Twist of the NHS maternity...
