Still Loves Emma Bunton. Roy McDonough is God!
Damn, it doesn't matter what time I go to bed (2.30am) and how much I've had to drink the night before (plenty). I still wake up at 6.30 even on a Sunday and well before the alarm clock which is set for 8.30 to wake up a girl I was out with last night as she is going sailing all day today and needs the alarm call as she is a woman and therefore clearly weak.
Following on from my comments on another thread and as further evidence of my dislike of all things Cambridge Footlights I give you Sandi Toksvig and Wikipedia excels again. There is so much about the statement in the next paragraph that is so wrong together with an interesting last fact. She's also friends with Arthur Smith which is further proof of an unfunny man that clearly has friends in high places. I do like two of his jokes though What do you do if you come across the CEO of Tesco's drowning in a canal? You lob the old chap out, **** all over him and shout 'Every little helps'. You can lead a horse to water but it's quite hard to have sex with water. Back to Sandi.........
She is a lesbian and mother of three children, two daughters (born 1988 and 1990) and a son (born 1994). The children were born while she was with her former partner Peta Stewart[10], and were conceived through artificial insemination by donor Christopher Lloyd-Pack.
In 1994 Save the Children dropped her services after she came out, although, following a direct action protest by the Lesbian Avengers,[11] the charity later apologised.[12] She currently lives in Surrey with her civil partner, psychotherapist Debbie Toksvig
I'm definitely camped in the old fashioned corner and whilst I have no problem with homosexuality per se I would prefer it not to be thrust into my face (so to speak) and here again the 5% of the population have an uncanny influence over the remaining 95% particularly through the media and their insistence at portraying things that are clearly NOT the norm as the norm.
I honestly don't want to turn this into an anti-gay rant and I'll delete the post and apologise if the thread gets out of control. Just before anyone gets on their high horse my boss out here in Hong Kong, is gay, someone that I have known in my industry for around 17 years and he has lived and worked out here in Asia all that time. He is American (but despite that :D ) is one of the funniest, thoughtful, intelligent and well respected men in my industry. We have had many memorable nights out over the years in the various times I come to Asia or he comes to London. Also after a meal last night the bar we were in was openly gay and was the venue for a reception for a pair that have just come back from a "wedding" in Malaysia. Whether it was the wine or not, it was a cracking end to a great night out.
As an aside he, and his (straight) boss, is also now trying hard to persuade me to carve out a more permanent career in Asia. I have to say that is very tempting as Asia is where life and business, especially in my specialised subset in finance, is really happening whereas in the US it is commodotised and in Europe it is getting that way. Hong Kong is also somewhere I could quite easily finish off the education of my non-academic but very bright (artistic and creative) children in a much more cosmpolitan environment. It is also one of the safest places I have ever been to in the world (less safe is also here if you want it and not too hard to find). It must be quite hard for Westerner's doing a few years out here before bringing a young family back to the West. My wife would also enjoy the expat life, though would miss her mum desperately. Disappointingly for some on here I think SUFC and SZFC may well win the battle. Tax rate 15%, very tempting. Sitting here looking out of my hilltop apartment as the mist starts to clear approaching Winter and already at 20 degrees is also very tempting.
Horrifically, after reviewing, my comments prior to hitting the submit button I've just realised an awful fact. I've spent months on here dissing Facebook, Twitter and the like. I've ignored the comments of ' what are you doing posting on SZ then?'. Ladies, gentlemen and transsexuals I give you the random musings of a complete hypocrite. Now onto facebook.com :p
