I’m having a crap day. My marriage is over. However, you read this blog for the gin not the whine and so I’m going to ‘Brit-Up’ and adopt some stiff upper lip and BLOW YOUR MINDS with some photos of covers of vintage wrestling magazines that I took whilst visiting my mum this weekend…If you were part blogger- part wrestler which of these bad boys would you be?

I'm Annie and I live in the depths of the New Forest. Mother to many, wife to one, blogger, creative type, lover of real books and a bit of a lush.







































So apart from the fact that I am SO not loving the opening to this post and feel that you’re absolutely entitled to have a gin-fuelled whinge on here should you so wish, I am absolutely SO loving the fact that ‘the Gay one’ is from Luton – it is just awesomely funny – for someone who happens to be married to someone who a)used to live there and b)currently works there xxxx maybe I should get out more x
It didn’t help my photo-taking spree that off all the magazines The Gay One was on the top of the pile that’s for sure, although I have to admit that wrestler with his name (MAXINE!) on his pants comes a close 2nd…
I hope they cheered you up as much as they did me, but sorry you’re having a grim time. x
Thank you lovely x
Sorry to hear things at home aren’t great my dear, hope you’re okay.
As for the wrestling, I bloody love it! If I was a ‘Blogstler’, I would have to be The Yellow Streak so none of my mates (or my wife) would know I’d jacked in my advertising career for a future in wrestling. However, sooner or later I’d probably be un-masked by Big Daddy so everyone would find out. Thinking about it, ‘Blogstling’ is probably a lose lose situation and I’m afraid I’m just not ready for it at the mo. *rips up resignation letter*
What about, now open your mind here, if we combined Wrestling with rapping? Like a rapping tag team!
Oh go on then! *sellotapes resignation letter back together*
That’s crap and I really am very sorry to hear it. Say (or don’t say) whatever you want whenever you want.
Love the wrestlers – I used to watch Catweazle and Big Daddy on a Sunday afternoon when I was growing up. Take care x
Ooo I remember Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks but not CatWeazle! Is it wrong that I am excited that you actually have seen him on tv?
(and thank you x)
Oh hun sorry to hear that. I’m here if you need to talk xxx
I’m cool Otilia, don’t worry about me sweet cheeks – but I do know where you are xx
Obviously The Gay One is right up there on my favourites list, but you are surely just distracting us from the crap you’re going through. So sorry to hear about the situ at home. I hope that whatever happens things get better for you xxxx
Moi? Distracting? Never. Ooo look! Over there! A woman with 5 boobies!*scuttles off*
Always one to be positive I see this post is tagged as Cheltenham Pitville – and not wanting to think that is the source of your wrestlers – does that mean you are moving back towards home?
x
Sorry to hear you are having a poo time
Ye Gads. What I want to know is why your mum has this odd collection, Annie? Was she on the wrestling circuit herself?
I used to love wrestling when I was a nipper – it was Big Daddy all the way for me! So sorry to hear about your news … hope things are going to be okay for you. X
Wrestling used to be on every Saturday afternoon……I used to get home from my shopping in time to watch with Dad. Of the ones you show, I think I like Wayne Bridges best…..#phwoar#….although ‘Big Daddy’ was my favourite
Love & hugs, Irene.
Sorry to read your news, hope you find the strength you need to get through the next few weeks. I guess that’s where the blogging community comes into its own.
On the wrestling front, I was always a Big Daddy girl.
Big hugs xxx

*sends gin*

Big hugs XXX
What about Andre the Giant? You must remember Andre the Giant. If not, I’m showing my age.
About the other stuff, you know where to find me for a sympathetic ear, a caseload of gin (or other hard liquor) or a vajazzling TOWIE night out x
Now i get it. Sorryi didnt seethis sooner
Sorry to hear you’re having a rough time. Big hugs to you… may see you at Camp Bestival! x
O my God I am sorry. But it makes sense of our conversation at Brit Mums Live. Maybe it won’t be permanent and a break will do you both good, or alternatively maybe you’ll fly and bloom on your own.
I am currently not quite brave enough somehow.
