Conversation with Madonna at kids' football game 'bloody awkward' say other mums

PARENTS watching their children play in a under-14s game alongside fellow mum Madonna have described conversation as ‘excruciatingly uncomfortable’. 

The megastar attended the cold, miserable Sunday game to support her 13-year-old twins alongside other mothers reluctantly doing the same, but was so difficult to make small talk with that she ended up standing on her own.

55-year-old Joanna Kramer said: “I broke the ice with ‘Fancy seeing you here! I liked that Ray of Light.’ You know, meeting her halfway with one of her more recent hits.

“Nothing. Commented on the weather. Nothing. Looking back, asking ‘Is that your eldest? Mine are the same, pushing 30 and still living at home’ about the young man she was with who is apparently her lover was a mistake. Well I didn’t know.”

Fellow mother Francesca Johnson said: “I thought I’d invite her to a fundraiser we’re doing, you know, no pressure but perhaps she could make cupcakes or do a quick performance of Like A Prayer. You’d think I’d asked her to chew dung.

“I mean I only went over to have a look at what work she’s had done up close but she didn’t know that. It costs nothing to be friendly. I certainly won’t be buying any of her reissued deluxe vinyl box sets now.”

However father Nathan Muir said: “I wound up stood next to her and said ‘Aren’t you Madonna? I saw your tits in that Sex book.’ She laughed and we had a right old chat.”

Rayner seen circling in the sky above Starmer

ANGELA Rayner has been spotted wheeling in wide circles in the sky over wherever Keir Starmer is standing. 

As Keir Starmer drags his weary carcass to an expected evisceration by the parliamentary Labour party this evening, former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner has been seen high in the sky, riding updrafts, waiting to strike.

Onlooker Martin Bishop said: “See how her dry tongue flicks out to lick her beak in anticipation of the kill? It’s terrifying, but also kind of beautiful.

“She’s clearly caught his decaying scent on the wind, but her blood lust has spiked after a recent scuffle delivered a near-fatal blow. I bet she can’t wait to tear the tender carrion from his bones.

“Notice how she hangs there, her ragged wings practically motionless. She’s probably conserving her energy in case she has to fend off another predator who’s also tracking him, ready to feast upon his corpse.

“While impressive, it’s hard to watch. Your instinct is to step in and save the poor, defenceless prey. Sadly, like David Attenborough, you cannot intervene. You have to let nature take its grimly inevitable course.”

Rayner said: “Ah, the internal politics of the Labour party. Red in tooth, claw and ideology.”
