(If you’re wondering what this is all about, click here.)
Suitably chastened by Alan, here’s the final installment of the series – the last member of my Guest Blogging Dream Team to be unveiled.
Some clues, then.
A familiar figure to some (ie long-time Troubled Diva readers), but unfamiliar to others…
She would offer a much-needed female perspective to a team comprised thus far solely of men…
She has a boundless lust for life…
She’s a bit of a hoot, blessed with a wicked sense of humour and a fondness for ribaldry and innuendo…
She’s much-travelled and has also got about a bit…
She has a wealth of life experience and countless tales from her colourful past with which she can charm anyone who’s within earshot…
Her father was a friend of that nice Mister Hitler…
She lived for twenty years on the edge of the jungle in Borneo…
She was once married to a judge who tragically died of Dutch Elm Disease…
She was arrested 157 times for protesting at Greenham Common…
She’s currently working as an agony aunt for the Liechtenstein Mail & Herald…
And, given that the team member unveiled yesterday was Chris Morris, I guess you could say I’ve gone from ‘Jam’ to jam…
Yes, of course, it’s Mike’s lovely Aunt Cyn – not so much Belle De Jour as Belle De Hier.
Unlike the rest of the team, she’s done it all before (on this very site), and done it to rousing and hilarious effect.
With her onboard and the Guest Blogging Dream Team completed, there’d be nothing more to do but just sit back and wait for the Guardian awards to roll in.
So, my complete Guest Blogging Dream Team: D H Lawrence, Alan Bennett, Morrissey, Will Self, Chris Morris and Aunt Cyn.
