Jumping Blondes Day

[coffeejo]

Imagine my shock when I found out my boyfriend was gay.

That reminds me of the banter when I was at a Pride event and someone yelled "lezzers" at us.

 

[coffeejo]

Do you have a cat?

Nope. I'm also rubbish at pool.

This all reminds me of when I went to uni and discovered I was not Gay. I didn't study at uni I just went there the crack was good as was the beer, food and music.
I also used to take part in Rag Week and raised funds for beer. iI have since been told Rag Week was not a ruse to get beer money, no one ever realised I had gate crashed uni and was not in the least bit Gay.

So a thread about the sexism/racism/ageism of news reports has also included people demonstrating how racist and homophobic they are - you couldn't make it up Thankfully:

I'm sorry but I can't let this go unreported...

I'm surprised @ianrauk didn't let us know about such a serious matter as it's close to his manor...

A well-loved seven-foot mannequin stolen from its Sidcup owners has been returned.

The golfing-clad giant figurine called Gordon Bennett is a popular icon in North Cray Road that stands watch in his owner's garden.
The aptly named Gordon Bennett was mistakenly purchased as a 3ft tall Christmas statue after a family holiday in Portugal.

You know what Rich. I have cycled that road gawd knows how many times and have never seen it.

I guess you'll show more sympathy to Long Martin and castles now then!

It's probably him in disguise

There is a mannequin in Fareham on the A32 near the Castle in the Air

It is always dressed according to the weather, so a quick glance as you pass is a s good as a forecast

Son number 2 got his place to study physics at Queen Mary's in London. Has had a massive change of heart and decided to apply through clearing to study music instead! Audition at Salford on Monday . . .

And he's in. Phew!

 

[Cubist]

And he's in. Phew!

That's quite a change of heart! Good on him for making a choice to suit him though. Life's too short to end up doing something you no longer feel.

 

[Julia9054]

He's a much better musician than he is physicist. We've been telling him he should study music for years. His brother is a music student and i think he always felt he should carve his own path and not copy. He was dithering all summer and, on results day, he didn't quite get the grades for his first choice. This seemed to tip the balance.

Freshers week kicked off yesterday here. We live opposite the Uni rowing club who are having a bash this evening. Look at them - being young, drinking beer, playing loud music and generally having a good time. Bastards!

You were the future once, as some idiot said.

Six brunettes, none female. The London Evening Standard finds the twentieth century.

(I'm going to congratulate them for sex rather than complain about the selective school...)

Son's school does very sober* pics of GCSE results day. Standard pose, certificate in hand. Comment is always x A*, y A etc, then A levels they plan to do and career path they hope to follow. Not a single jumping blond amongst them.

Pics were sober but as a load of them have gone to Leeds Fest and have learned the fine art of alcohol smuggling I doubt "sober" could be used to describe them right now
