Woman leading feminist lifestyle not doing so by choice

A WOMAN living her life as a proud, independent feminist who makes her own decisions and does her own DIY would prefer not to, she has confirmed. 

36-year-old Francesca Johnson has climbed the corporate ladder, pays her bills, can change a tyre and would love to have someone to help her out with all that boring bullshit.

She said: “I live a lifestyle the Suffragettes would have murdered for, but only because today’s men are f**kboys who leave dates claiming exhaustion as early as 6pm.

“As an advocate for female empowerment I can state that society is biased again single women, most notably me, and I would rather never have learned the difference between a Phillips and flathead screwdriver.

“I live alone, I sleep alone – having the whole bed to yourself means there’s no one to hear you cry – and I holiday alone. The alternative is having colleagues say ‘With your mother?’ in a tone normally used to ask someone if they’ve gone back to murdering hitchhikers.

“And yes, there are many nights out with the girls that are thrilling and emancipatory, until all the boyfriends and husbands arrive to pick them up and I have another regrettable one-night stand.

“I am a strong, confident, independent woman who does not need a guy. But I hope Darryl texts back.”

Who are the future Bake-Off contestants of Team GB?

THEY may be unknown now, but after the next fortnight our Olympians will crop up on Bake-Off, Strictly, and Celebrity Masterchef. So who are they? 

Sophie Rodriguez, high jump, Loughborough

The unexpected winner of silver, Rodriguez has loved jumping high ever since failing to grow out of it as a child. She will appear on Celebrity Gogglebox with her girlfriend and you will mistake her for a young Mel C.

Oliver O’Connor, 400m men’s freestyle, Warwick

Fresh-faced Oliver will sign up for on Strictly on the basis that mastery of one physical discipline is no advantage in mastering another – a lie – but will be eliminated in week four because voters do not know who he is. Will neither romance or be bullied, making the experience decidedly mid.

Stephen Malley, mixed archaic pentathlon, Stirling

Unlikely champion Malley is no talker, making his upcoming I’m A Celebrity appearance easy to miss. By lurking in the background, making soup and winning stars, he will last almost a fortnight before he is eliminated by eventual winner Suella Braverman.

Marie Fisher, Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, Aberystwyth

Winning two golds for Team GB, E-Olympic hero Fisher will appear on Celebrity Bake-Off and create a passable soufflé. Wearing a tracksuit for her time in the tent indicates she is either fishing for sponsorship or is like that all the time.

Carolyn Ryan, synchronised barrel waterfall challenge, Keswick

The Olympics are Greek and so in drama is the Greek chorus, put on stage to react to the action and show the audience what to think. Carolyn will perform this role in Celebrity Big Brother. 

Julian Cook, nude marathon, Hackney

Won’t even mention his bronze medal during his appearance on Celebrity Ex On The Beach next year. It would be lost on that audience.
