Heads Up
Dear Oily
My man left me for another woman. I have an amazing figure but sadly lack a head at the moment. Would you like to go out with me? Have you got a spare head you can send me?
Penelope, Bridport
Oily Replies,
Penny you need to stop looking at the negatives. Everyone has their cross to bare. Look at the following list of well known X Factor celebrities. All are/were missing something:
Admiral Nelson – Arm and eye
Van Gogh – Ear
David Beckham – Brain
Kelly Osborne – Talent
Simon Cowell – Conscience
Stephen Hawking – Various
Hitler – Testicle
Greyfriars Bobbie – An Owner
And yet they are/were all superstars in their own right overcoming all sorts of disadvantages in the process. One of my musical heroes Ian ‘Mac’ McCullough of Echo and The Bunnymen had a song called ‘Heads Will Roll’ ( oops sorry). The lyrics – if he were to change them completely – go like this:
“I’m the greatest singer there’s ever been
Doncha know wor I mean
Yeah sure baby I ain’t got no spleen
But calm down our kid I ain’t no has been”
So take heart, look ahead (oops sorry). Get out there and party. Live life to the max. As my friend the actress Lena Hedley (oops sorry) says -Hedonism rocks. (oops sorry).

Thoughtful advise by Oily, but he surprised me by not asking her out anyway.
A cheap date if nothing else Frank!
Was heading (oops sorry) out the door when I read this great advice, Oily. Well said.
Definitely a moment!
Lol, thanks for the laugh when I am supposed to be working.
Good!
I heart Oily. His advice is always on the dot!
Exactly – he may be a tad porn tinged but his heart is in the right place – even for the clueless as well as the headless
I’m amazed you were able to decipher the Echo lyrics through the copious amounts of fog machine and cigarette smoke at their shows.
I think Oilys advice here is neck and neck with his best.
(See what I did there?)
Which would give a new meaning to Oily necking with her. Bwahahaha.
Egad! nice imagery…
Oh Deary Deary me!
*giggles uncontrollably*
A masterful comment Guap! I’ve dug out me old Bunnymen albums this today must give them a listen again!
But he could look down into her soul; that may give him a “heads up.”
Is this some kind of comment competition?
yes
Poor woman, and all she has is Oily for advice.
Tis sad enough!
I lack a sense of humour, but my friends Stumpy and Cyclops tell me it is hilarious. I will take their word for it and say “well done.”
Cheers!
Gorge, only you would have comforting strategies for someone with no head. A man of man talents, it seems.
That he is Kate
I’m having a little trouble wrapping my head around this one. Unthinkable!
Is it head and shoulders the best advice you have heard Kathryn?
Sounds like you can cobble those parts together for something…
Frankensteinien or somesuch.
I would add Kristen Stewart and her lack of facial expressions to this list of celebrities who succeeded despite their deficiencies…
