THE most awesome thing about living in the United Kingdom of England is that I can take a gentle stroll down to my local pub, The Aunt Bessie, accompanied only by my entourage of porn dwarfs, pubic hair weavers and, of course, Nimbus, the big black rabbit with red eyes, who follows me wherever I go.

One Woman's Week: You Won't Beat Me, Adolf Bannatyne

By Karen Fenessey YOU might think when you watch Duncan Bannatyne on the BBC's Dragon’s Den program, that he is a really great guy who knows a thing or two about how to keep fit.

One Woman's Week: Three Cheers For China

By Karen Fenessey To be honest, I couldn’t really care less about what the shaven monks of Tibet are banging on about.

'I Was There'

Great moments in sport: Yoko Ono remembers Wrestlemania XXIIIMANY years ago, myself and John were staging our third annual bounce-in. To the uninitiated, a bounce-in is where two icons such as ourselves would jump up and down on a trampoline as a means of protest against the American government’s treatment of Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs.

One Woman's Week: Giving My All

By Karen Fenessey As anyone who knows me will tell you, I am one of the most charitable people anyone could hope to meet. In fact, I would go as far as to say I am a disabled person’s wet dream.

I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

By HRH the Duke of EdinburghIT was with a small measure of relief and not a little satisfaction that I heard the coroner declare The Arab's allegations to be entirely without substance. In the end it has all come together so beautifully, has it not?

One Woman's Week: Stars In Our Eyes
