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 […]

Hi folks, Winter’s drawing in eh? The nights are getting dark and blimey has it been cold in the mornings. Still, truth be told, I actually prefer the autumn. To start with it’s not baking hot and if you’re lucky, the weather’s just right for a spot of walking (or biking). If you’re cold you can always warm up with a good cup of tea, coffee or hot choccy. Then there’s the whole run up to Xmas thing going on… and I don’t just mean the party outfits either. 🙂 Last weekend I caught a programme on Channel 4’s upcoming 25th birthday. To be honest, it seems like C4 has pretty much always been there. I do remember the first […]

Hey-ya, Hooray, it’s the weekend. Blimey, it doesn’t seem five minutes since I was last at this keyboard emptying my head into Blogger. It’s been a strange old week. Firstly, I’ve been out and about (through work, sadly not socially) which in some ways was great. I got out of the office and got to stretch my legs. The downside was there was a bit of travel involved which meant a few long days. Still, as I said, it’s good to get out. I got a spot of shopping done too. I managed to find a nice coat seeing as the nights are drawing in. I had a choice between a red double breasted number and a longer greenish more […]
