The kitchen sink feminist playwright lovely Lefty Morgan Murphy 
(notorious for ‘The Fart-Arse Monologues’ - see post for 11th Dec 2011) 
has defended her controversial new kitchen sink production 
at the Royal Court Theatre.   ‘Scum Bag - Scum Bag!’ is a three-act
 monologue delivered by a down-trodden working class woman
 (played by Dame Alice Gertrude-Savoy) to her kitchen sink. 
“I’m passionate about London’s wretched working class women,” Lefty 
explained, over the phone from her holiday home in the Algarve. 
 “I strongly identify with their struggle”

Betty Buckler, author of the blockbusting Doctor and Nurses Romance 
Library - seen here resting at her own front door after coming home from 
another lavish publishers’ party - recently announced that her wildly 
successful books will no longer  be published in book form. 
“Writing just  takes up too much of her  valuable time,” her agent said. 
“In future rough ideas will be dictated by Betty,  or friends and associates, 
developed by a team of dedicated scriptwriters and then launched
 as big-budget TV mini-adventures, leaving Betty more time for the
 important stuff, like marketing and celebrity appearances. 
NB: Despite a busy schedule Betty Buckler agreed to pose as Miss April 
in the Poetry Society’s Celebrity Calendar. (See post for 17th Dec 2011)

After the success of six-year-old author, Britney Woggle, whose Booker
 Prize nominated first novel 'Woggle World' became an international

 launches a 'sexy, smouldering, first novel sizzler' by his son, the lanky 
steel-jawed  wunderkind Dwight Pyke.  But the publishers abruptly 
cancel publication after jealous neighbours  reveal that the boy is 
actually Curtis Pyke's  own wife wearing a stolen school uniform.

Clovis, Audrey and Phyliss, the Corbett family, 
celebrate the publication of their fifteen-volume Corbett history,
tracing the family's migration from Paddington to Putney in search
of romance and adventure.  "We had our manuscript turned down 
by more than forty publishers before 'E-BOOKS-R-EASY' agreed
to publish our story," said Clovis.  "They were very encouraging,"
remembers Audrey.  "And they also charge reasonable rates," added
Phyliss. E-BOOKS-R-EASY estimates that, by the end of the year,
every man, woman and child in the UK will have self-published at least
one volume of heart-warming memoir or light verse.
