Two Times Tennis

Twenty!
“Ha Ha! That is a very good pune, or play on words.”
No, seriously, second tennis session in five days this evening. This time played an hour and a half of singles, so much more energetic, and at no point was I even remotely out of breath. And no matter how shocked you […]

“Working All The Time….

….to make you mine all mine.”
Following on from my recent Erasure retro-fest, I’m having a similar evening in the company of Holly Johnson tonight. He’s stoking up the Love Train just at the moment.
I’m also having odd online conversations again. It’s a weird thing - considering how long I’ve been online (I mean […]

They’re bringing back Blake’s Seven.
No, seriously.
They’re bringing back Blake’s Seven.
I thought it was some kind of sick, twisted monster’s idea of a joke, but it’s not.
They’re bringing back Blake’s Seven!!!!!

You’d Better Sit Down For This….

I’m going out shortly.
To play tennis.
Yes, I know - I didn’t prepare you properly for the shock, did I? I’m sorry - I should have laid the groundwork better, given you more chance to build up to it, not just blurted out something so shocking without having provided a link to some kind of […]

The Reason For Pride
July 26, 2003 | 2 Comments
One more for the theme of the weekend, then I’ll shut up about it, I promise.
The question of whether we need Pride anymore is one that occasionally comes up both within and without the LGBT communities. Such great strides have been made, the argument goes, that there is little reason for us to need […]

On Pride
July 25, 2003 | Comments Off
To pick up the theme of the weekend:
“The ability for people of different sexual determinations to stand up and be counted wherever we can is as important now as ever. Individual hatred and institutional prejudice remain widespread, and in too many countries, expressing that sexuality can still result in persecution, imprisonment and even death. […]

Have A Little Pride
July 25, 2003 | Comments Off
So it’s that time of the year again. Pride Weekend is upon us, and much is being made of the fact that for the first time ever, the post-march event is being held in Hyde Park - yes, they’re letting the fags and dykes party right in the middle of town, where the tourists […]

Those Missing Days
July 24, 2003 | 4 Comments
I’ve noticed recently that I miss odd days of posting anything here, like yesterday. This isn’t actually a problem, because there’s no rule, and no one ultimately is going to care about a little less of this crap in their daily mix, but I do find it weird that I only realise I’ve missed […]

Have you ever had one of those occasions where you’re so completely certain of something it literally never occurs to you that you could be anything but right?
Because I just have.
Trying to get to the last of Mike/Underhand’s Comedy at JoJo’s events of the season, I disembarked from the tube, running a little late, and […]
