I have just read 'No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub' by Virgina Ironside. Doyenne of Fleet Street and Agony Aunt extraordinaire.
A diary of growing old disgracefully.
Which leads me into a plug for the Civic Arts Centre, Oswaldtwistle.
Virginia will be performing her one woman show .. The Virginia Monologues .... on Sunday, 13th March at 7.30 p.m. Directed by Nigel Planer.
If you are over 60 (any age actually), this outlook on a woman ageing is not to be missed .. extremely perseptive and hilarious:
"
When an agony aunt reaches sixty,
she can lie like a trooper, jump off a
bridge or take to the stage.
Virginia Ironside explains that
unlimited free drugs, fun funerals,
grandchildren and sex or, even
better, no sex make the sixties the
best and funniest - time of your life
"
