Year: 2007

Hey there, Coo, a midweek post. What could this be about? Luckily, nothing scary. Tomorrow is the Chameleons’s Christmas do. Yes, I *know* we’re not into December just yet, but beggars can’t be choosers can they. I have my outfit planned – I even managed a quick dry run – and with a smile from Lady Luck, yes Cinders, you shall go to the ball. Bring on the poptastic MP3s and heels you can just about dance in! 🙂 For those about to (f)rock, we salute you! Hope to see you there, Lynn x [ Lyric: Girls Aloud’s Long Hot Summer. I begin to wonder if in fact the Girls Aloud lyrics are in fact some type of belief system […]

Hiya, How you keeping? Good? Charity For those of you outside the UK, tonight is the annual BBC charity, Children in Need. There’s a lot of folk asking for money these days. For Africa, for the homeless, for the elderly. The list of people who need help seems to be endless. I don’t give to all causes but I do when I have an emotional attachment to (if that makes any sense). In my 20s I’d find the whole TV charity + entertainment thing a bit cheesy and I had little time for it. Fast forward a few years (Ed: you mean a decade and the rest) and life has given me a few curve balls. Life is precious and […]

Hi non-specific genderforms, 🙂 How’s you? All good I hope. Life seems to be picking up speed at the mo. Lots of things happening at home and at work at the moment. It’s making the days fly by. I’m sure Xmas will soon be upon us. I’m surprised that the year has gone so fast. Poor Mrs Jones wasn’t 100% yesterday, so loving husband that I am, I bailed on my trip out to Chams and stayed in to keep an eye on her. It’s funny how the ‘drive’ takes you really. Some weeks you really need to get dolled up and go out with the girls. Other times, like yesterday luckily, I could take it or leave it. I’m […]

Howdy y’all, Good week? I hope so. Customer Service Earlier the week I returned some shoes that I’d bought from a well known high street shop (they just didn’t fit right). I’d had them in the cupboard for over a month, so really they didn’t have to give me my pennies back – just a credit note. Anyhoo, the young lady behind the counter and I got talking – just about complete nonsense while the supervisor rang her back. A polite manner and a smile seemed to do the trick and she was kind enough to skip on the credit note and splash the cash. That was rather handy as it went towards some new foundation from Boots. BTW, no […]

All aboard? 🙂 I’ll skip the usual noise about 80 mph weeks – it’s getting to be passe isn’t it? 🙂 I must confess I’ve had just a wee bit too much whisky this evening, so I would like to apologise for any inanity that may spring forth. Blimey, tipsy and in charge of a keyboard. Oh the shame of it! (Ed: Stay with us Lynn. Don’t do an Amy on us). Donald, where’s your trousers? Thursday I was out at Chams and it was great just to meet up with the girls for a bit of a chat. No disco lights or quiz of the week this time. Just good company and a chance to be a little bit […]

A rare midweek post today. The other day I caught this little nugget in the paper: “…more kids who are cross-dressers and who, Penn says brightly, ‘are triggering a large, new tolerance movement in schools and communities’.” It’s from Microtrends by Mark Penn and I am rather curious as to where he gets the information for that. Subject to time – and perhaps a burst of sudden activity – I may have a flick through Penn’s book on the subject. Sadly the on-line article doesn’t give any more detail on the quote. However, in addition to Rachel’s comments on a previous post – which you may be able to summarise into ‘trans good news’ – I think this wee phrase […]
