Are people in the van using the torch to light their fags?

The Olympic torch is on the move – I had an excited screaming phone call from Cornwall to verify this – but most of the time it seems to be in a van.

The day that my hair went up with a very smelly whoosh

Talking of lighting things, this weekend my hair went up with rather a smelly whoosh.

Going to Lidl’s like entering several countries at once

Every once in a while I take myself off for an exotic experience. Yes. I drive to the other side of Gosport and shop at Lidl.

The ones who need help are hardly likely to come forward

I read with interest that Boots will soon be handing out vouchers on behalf of the government, entitling parents to a series of classes in bringing up children.

Bars at either end of the high street would keep us captive

Gosport and Fareham high streets have both been awarded £100,000 to help with their development.

If I’m backing Ricky, then you know what’ll happen

We’re roughly half-way through this series of The Apprentice and I’m completely stumped as to who will win. And I’m also stumped as to who I want to win.

After they’ve trotted past a couple of times, what then?

I’ve never really been sure what the attraction of heavy horses is, especially on a wet Sunday afternoon.

Okay, I have to admit that I’m not the new Pythagoras

I know this may sound odd, but I’m jealous of my children’s homework.

Watching MI was ideal way to escape from the downpours

How cool is Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol? Having watched it at home, I now wish I’d made the effort to see it at the cinema.

Forget shwopping, simply go to a local charity shop

What on earth is Marks and Spencer thinking about with its new advert for shwopping? There I was, in the middle of watching some Sunday night rubbish on the box, when up popped Joanna Lumley urging us all to shwop our clothes. And yes, that is their spelling.

No Olympic tickets, but I’m still feeling excited about it

What are you doing to celebrate the Olympics? As more and more events start springing up, I’m really starting to get excited about all the bits and bobs we’ll be doing (seeing as we didn’t get any tickets to the main events).

If the crown is snatched, we should involve all the town

Congratulations to all the pupils of Bay House School in Gosport for their world record-breaking creation of the largest human Olympic rings (as reported in The News yesterday).

We need our wildernesses to survive as an urban area

It’s easy to forget sometimes just how lovely the place you live can be. Okay, so Gosport may be a bit rough around the edges. But it has its good points, especially the wild parts and the sea views.

We might need a hospice one day - so let’s help them now

Did you know that hospices in this country have to raise more than £1m per day just to keep going?

Microchipping of puppies will be such a pointless exercise

So I hear the latest plan for dogs is to have them all microchipped when they’re puppies.
