Born to a working-class Irish migrant family in Tranmere, Cheshire, O'Grady moved to London in the late 1970s, initially working as a peripatetic care officer for Camden Council. He developed his drag act in 1978, basing the character of Lily Savage upon traits found amongst female relatives. Touring England as part of drag mime duo, the Playgirls, O'Grady then went solo as a stand-up comedian in the early 1980s. Performing as Savage for eight years at a South London gay pub, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT), he gained a popular following among London's gay community and used his character to speak out for gay rights. After being nominated for a 1992 Perrier Award, O'Grady attracted mainstream attention and made various television, radio, and theatrical appearances. As Savage, he presented the television shows The Big Breakfast (1995–1996), Blankety Blank (1997–2002), and Lily Live! (2000–2001), earning various awards and becoming a well known public figure.

Wishing to diversify from Savage, O'Grady starred in the BBC One sitcom Eyes Down (2003–2004) and presented two travel documentaries for ITV. In 2004, he began presenting ITV's daytime chat show The Paul O'Grady Show. After the network refused to transfer creative control of the series to O'Grady's production company Olga TV, he moved to Channel 4 in 2006, where the show was rebranded as The New Paul O'Grady Show, airing until 2009. O'Grady presented the late night ITV show Paul O'Grady Live (2010–2011) and BBC Radio 2's Paul O'Grady on the Wireless (2009–2022). Additional television shows included Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs (2012–present), Paul O'Grady's Animal Orphans (2014–2016), Blind Date (2017–2019), and Paul O'Grady's Great British Escape (2020). Since 2008 he has published several books, including a four-volume memoir.

O'Grady was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours for services to entertainment. In 2020 he became president of the British Music Hall Society, taking over the role from Roy Hudd.[1] He was a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Kent.[2]

The Twlight Zone-The Twlight Zone (2023)

 


You're traveling to another dimension a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are only that of the imagination.

You're entering The Twlight Zone

What it be like in The Twlight Zone,tonight you are going to find out !

You step through the door into the twilight zone and are immediately assaulted by a barrage of sights and sounds. You see creatures and beings that you never imagined possible and hear screams and laughter that echo through your mind. You stumble forward, confused and disoriented, until you come to a stop in front of a large, imposing figure.


The figure looks down at you with eyes that seem to pierce your soul. 'Welcome to my world,' he says in a booming voice. 'You are now a prisoner here, just like the rest of us. You will never leave this place, so you might as well make the best of it.'
You look around the dark, dreary prison cell and see the other inmates huddled in the corners, their eyes filled with fear. You turn back to the figure and see that he is now gone, replaced by a heavy metal door that has slammed shut, leaving you alone in the darkness.

You sink to the floor, your mind racing as you try to figure out a way to escape. But there is none. You are now a prisoner in this dark, dreary world, and you will never be able to leave.
The door slams shut, and the sound echoing through the small, dark room is like a death knell. I sink to the floor, my mind racing as I try to figure out a way to escape. But there is none. I am now a prisoner in this dark, dreary world, and I will never be able to leave.

The only light comes from a small window high up on the wall, and it does little to chase away the shadows that seem to be closing in on me. I huddle in a corner, trying to make myself as small as possible, and I wait. I don't know what I'm waiting for, but I can't seem to make myself move.

Time seems to stand still in this place, and the only sound is the occasional drip of water from somewhere in the distance. I start to feel like I'm going crazy, and I wonder if this is what it's like to be buried alive.

Suddenly, the door opens, and I shriek in surprise. A figure steps into the room, and I can barely make out his features in the dim light. He's wearing a hooded cloak, and he looks like he could be a wizard or something.

He comes closer, and I shrink back in fear. But he doesn't hurt me. Instead, he offers me his hand and helps me to my feet.

'I'm here to help you,' he says. 'You're not supposed to be here. Come with me.'

I don't know who this man is, but I don't have any other options. I take his hand, and he leads me out of the room. We walk down a long, dark hallway, and I start to feel a little bit hopeful.

But then he stops and looks at me. 'I'm sorry,' he says. 'I can't help you any further. You have to go back.'

'What?' I cry in disbelief. 'But I can't go back! I'll be trapped there forever!'

'I'm sorry,' he repeats. 'It's not safe for you out here. You have to go back.'

And then he pushes me through the door of the room and slams it shut. I'm back where I started, and I can't help but feel despair. I'm a prisoner in this dark, dreary world, and I will never be able to leave.

The walls are closing in on me, and the darkness is engulfing me. I can't breathe, and I can't escape. I'm trapped in this nightmare, and I will never be able to wake up.
 Is this a nightmare or just a other episode of the Twilight Zone that is for you too decide 

Daisy the cow

 


One day, Daisy decided to wander off from the herd in search of answers. She walked for miles, until she came across a wise old owl perched in a tree. Daisy asked the owl why she was a cow, and the owl responded, 'Because that is the way it was meant to be.'



Daisy always wondered why she was a cow. She knew that she was different from the other animals on the farm, but she couldn't figure out why. 


Daisy wished she could ask the other animals why she was a cow. She had seen the chickens running around, free to flap their wings and lay eggs. The pigs were allowed to wallow in the mud and the horses galloped across fields. Even the dogs got to go on walks with their owners. But Daisy was stuck in the pasture, munching on grass all day.


One day, she mustered up the courage to ask the farmer why she was a cow. He simply replied, 'Because you give us milk.' Daisy was disappointed. She thought there must be more to life than just giving milk.


So she started planning her escape. She watched as the other animals came and went, and she figured out how she could get over the fence. One night, she made her move. She jumped the fence and took off running.


But the farmer caught her. He explained that cows were special animals and that they had an important job to do. Daisy felt pride swell up inside her. She realized that she was special too, and that she had a important job to do.

She's not particularly fond of the life she leads, being forced to graze all day and produce milk for humans. She's heard the other animals talking, and they all seem to have a much better understanding of what their purpose is in life. But Daisy can't help but feel like she was meant for something more.

Daisy decided to wander off from the herd in search of answers. She walked for miles, until she came across a wise old owl perched in a tree. Daisy asked the owl why she was a cow, and the owl responded, 'Because that is the way it was meant to be.'


Daisy wasn't satisfied with this answer, so she kept walking until she came across a wise old frog. She asked the frog the same question, and the frog told her, 'Because you are meant to provide milk for humans.'


Finally, Daisy came across a wise old man. She asked him the same question, and he told her, 'Your purpose in life is what you make of it. You can choose to be a cow, or you can choose to be something else. It's up to you.'


Daisy was amazed by this answer. She realized that she didn't have to be a cow if she didn't want to be. She could be anything she wanted to be. From that day forward, Daisy lived her life on her own terms, and she was happy for it.

 . Daisy was happy to hear this and decided that being a cow was a pretty good thing after all.Daisy

Get Lost

 I can't help but get lost


In your eyes, in your smile

In the way you make me feel

Like I'm the only one in the world

It's intoxicating, this feeling

Of being consumed by you

And I wouldn't have it any other way

So please, keep me lost

In this beautiful book of ours

King of the stage

 





The Once time king of stage and scene 


Now a has-been,


Loses luster,


Fading away into the darkness of obscurity.


He was once the king of all that watch him perform


The hoary old age takes away the charm 


Of a wrinkled and saggy old man.

But now he's a has-been,


Fading away into the darkness of obscurity.


He's lost his luster and his will to live.


He's a shadow of his former self,


And he knows that he'll never again be the king of the stage.

Occult

 I sit in my room surrounded by shelves full of ancient books on the occult...



occult is "knowledge of the hidden" or "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to facts and "knowledge of the measurable", usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes taken to mean knowledge that "is meant only for certain people" or "must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends pure reason and the physical sciences. The terms esoteric and arcane can also be used to describe the occult, in addition to their meanings unrelated to the supernatural.

Evolution

 Evolution is a complex process that has been the subject of much debate and controversy. It begins on a dead star, where a conspiracy was uncovered that has far-reaching implications for our understanding of the natural world. The evidence suggests that evolution is not a linear process, but rather a complex web of interrelated factors that are constantly in flux.


Despite the overwhelming evidence in support of evolution, there are still those who refuse to accept it. This is a dangerous attitude that threatens to undermine our understanding of the world around us. We must be vigilant in our efforts to promote scientific literacy and combat ignorance and misinformation.


In conclusion, the definition of evolution is a topic of great importance that requires our attention and respect. We must be willing to confront the challenges that lie ahead and work together to build a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

Why i love Wrestling

 Wrestling has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. There's just something about the combination of athleticism, strategy, and showmanship that draws me in every time. From the high-flying maneuvers to the technical holds, wrestling is a true test of skill and endurance.


One of the things I love most about wrestling is the sense of community it creates. Whether you're watching with friends or attending a live event, there's a palpable energy and excitement that's hard to replicate elsewhere. And while there's certainly a competitive aspect to the sport, there's also a sense of camaraderie among wrestlers that's truly unique.


Finally, I have to mention the entertainment factor. Whether it's the over-the-top characters, the dramatic storylines, or the surprise twists and turns, wrestling always keeps me on the edge of my seat. It's a form of escapism that allows me to forget about the stresses of everyday life and get lost in the spectacle of it all.


All in all, wrestling is a sport that has captured my heart and imagination. From the athleticism to the community to the pure entertainment value, there's simply nothing else quite like it.

The Human Condition

 Listen up, folks. The human condition is a messy, squirming thing that can be summed up in just a drop of blood. That's right, a measly teaspoon can reveal the secrets of the cosmos, naked and wriggling like a worm on a hook. And let me tell you, the truth ain't always pretty. It's funny how the light of truth can make even the most confident of us squirm. But don't turn away, don't pretend you don't see it. Embrace the messiness of it all, because that's what we're made of. The human condition is a tough pill to swallow, but we gotta take it. So, take a look at that drop of blood and see the truth for what it is. And if you don't like it, tough luck. We're all in this together, whether we like it or not.
