Here we are again, series fourteen
Who will become the house’s queen?
It is me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady
I’m the rightful queen
Dilapidated house filled with mystery
Whoever bloody knows what we will see
Only one contestant will achieve
The height of victory
And the tasks were serendipitous
They were gift to the Taskmistress
All the other contestants
They were boot-licking sycophants
Dara’s a big bald imbecile
Mr. Kearns is an obsequious child
And Sarah & Munya are losers
And I’ll stamp on their toe
The Full Version of the Task
What Have We Learnt Today?
We’ve learnt that, all things considered, alas, I am not Fern Brady.
I also recently finished Fern Brady’s memoir “Strong Female Character”, which I was thoroughly entertained and educated by. She details her late in life diagnosis as an autistic women and not fitting the typical stereotypes associated with people with autism (there are different indicators for men and women).
Here are some useful links if you want more information on the book:
- Autistic Review,
- Goodreads review,
- Amazon Product Detail Page (please support local independent bookstores though).
She does briefly mention how her obsession with learning to place Mozart Piano Sonatas (of which Rondo Alla Turca does belong to as it is the 3rd movement of Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 / 300i) was a potential indicator to autism, and her time on Taskmaster (her meltdowns can be triggered by odd lighting setups, why she frequently proclaimed that she was tired).
