CHRISTINE BASIL'S PLASTIC PEARLS OF WISDOM:
ON THE ELDERLY... Do you think that if you put two really old people in a very hot bath when they get out their skin would be really smooth? I should boil my Nanna and find out.
ON TATTOOS... I love tattoos. I'd love to get one of a really big eagle - but that's a lot of work and it might hurt. So I'm just gonna get a tattoo of a dead rabbit, I figure the eagle will turn up eventually.
ON HER KIDS... I often get into a lot of trouble over the sick and twisted jokes I make about my children. Which is a real shame. Because in actual fact, I mean truth be told. I love my kids. My kids are the reason I get up in the morning.... Well you can't abuse 'em in your sleep.
ON ALUMINIUM... My Nanna rang me the other day. I love it when Nan rings but all she does is whinge about Pop. "It's your Pop darling. He's always complaining about pains in the back of his head and short term memory loss." And I'm like... "Well Nan, maybe you shouldn't use aluminium pots & pans", and she's gone "Oh no love. I hit him with other things."
