    As soon as women work out how to get the tops off of jars, men are doomed as a species.

    Twiggy's mum used to make our birthday parties in North west London (Hendon) when I was a child... and Twiggy used to come along and not look very happy about it!! She could only have been about 9 or 10 then...

    Re 5: Twiggy is one of those people who seems ageless and just gets more beautiful as the years go on. She looked wonderful in the 60s but I think she looks even better now, and she's only 2 months away from 60! She has always been so nice to listen to when interviewed also.

    Re the first item: Could women do without men? Absolutely not! And could men do without women? Absolutely not!

    geordieangel2, I will buy you a dishwasher,lol. Actually I quite like men in a sad and baffled sort of way, it's like having a large floppy dog around. Never actually accomplishes anything, but gives pleasure along the way!

    It's safe to say I won't get another opportunity, so I'll take it now in advance of the occasion:

    Happy Birthday, Twiggy! May you have many more long & happy years ahead of you.

    Re 6: Gaz911 - Haha! Yes, indeed - the focus group excelled with that idea! I think there's a series in there somewhere... And you got another message (re Adrian's shorts) read out on the latest Web Show I see.

    Well I would like to congratulate Adrian on his true, probing question to Twiggy which was, "Why is she the only ONE gainfully employed at her age?" She looked shocked and fobed the question off! As this is very true what Adrian said! I too am a well known model(15 years younger than Twiggy)and am advocating & modelling Real Beauty (not plastic surgery)for the mature woman / model out there, but have not managed to get any work this year, even though I too am well know and have a huge fan base for my modelling /acting / poetry work. Yet I remain unemployed and penniless! Well Done Adrian for saying it as it is! I am Your Number "One" Fan! With Luv, Light and Liberty Donna Africa www.donnaafrica.co.uk

    hokeykokeyalex post 4, but what if your local fire officer got the call to rescue a pigeon, and told he was to be on telly as well, I'll bet they wouldn't normally turn out for a bird in distress. I was at the vets with my dog, a woman came in with a sea gull, the vet told her to take it to the R.S.P.C.A. she already had, R.S.P.C.A. told her to take it to a vet, no one wanted it, but if they know its to be on TV, they will go all out even for a tiny sparrow,

    So I beat you
    One Show
    My yesterdays versified blog offering
    Cleverly predicted a new One Show controversy
    In the offing
    A day early
    I.e. heralding
    The redundancy
    Of men, including Adrian
    God forbid
    But seeing as God is female these days
    Maybe forbid She wont on this occasion

    So, seriously or otherwise
    Do men still have a place
    In todays womens world of ours
    Now theyve thrown off their bras
    Talking of which.

    I for one couldnt wait
    To see model guest Twiggy
    Who despite putting on a bit of weight
    Was looking really great at sixty
    Clad all in beautiful deep blue
    She was far from sad-and-blue
    But was definitely bloo-ming
    Fashion should be fun she said
    And according to Christine
    She could pull off anything
    (But she stayed fully clothed
    For the whole of the programme)

    Back to the plot
    Debate
    Reasons for men
    As per The One Show offices ideas board list
    (Yes apparently they do have one!)
    The board read, in order:
    Men
    1. Very practical
    2. Deep thinkers / not as emotional
    3. Better at dealing with dead things and on recollection
    4. Rubbish collection
    5. Mowing the lawn
    6. Chucking spiders out
    7. Loading the dishwasher / D W skills
    8. Making money (for their wills)
    9. Paying for diamond jewellery
    10. Taxi duty
    11. Something to moan about

    Do I detect the hand
    Of Christine in the above
    Did Adrian not get a say /
    Manage a word in edgeways
    I know what he would say
    That day to day
    The One Show wouldnt be balanced
    Without his gruff male presenting presence
    For pretty, giggly female Cheese cake
    Christine to bounce off

    Following the recent Camberwell tragedy
    Timely lessons in Fire safety
    For us all
    So we were taught
    PDE
    Prevention, detection, escape

    More Tiggywinkles
    Is Mike now selling a dead horse
    Of course
    Not
    There is yet more mileage
    In the caring for
    Our poor sickly friends
    With paws.

    Rogue Traders
    And their behaviour
    This has been done
    To death though on TV aleady
    On BBC One
    Don

    Clever Michael Douglas
    Good for him
    Giving Gaping Gill cavers
    The deepest darkest and coldest trim
    Ever
    The Beehive, the Bob the Pixie for her
    The Beatles mop-top, the French line, the Perin (/Perm?) for him

    So was there a common thread
    Running through the programme this time
    For us to get our teeth in
    Yes possibly I think so
    Perhaps the difference between men and women
    And I as man am with the men
    On this One

    Terribly clumsy if not thoughtless link from trivial item to the horror of the tower block fire. then back to another lightweight item. I am sure balance is needed but presenters facial expressions going from happy to sad in a split second so wrong editorially. Does no one think of elementary presentation rules?
