Someone asked so here they are; my songs that were performed in the recital this morning. These are Garage Band mp3 files and are quite large.

This weekend, from Friday, I shall be attending the Gabycon. I'll be taking my little netbook plus dongle with me, and hope I can get a signal while 'oop north'. I also hope I can find an hour or so to write the odd episode of Bike. I'll make no promises other than to try and write and post if I have time. Otherwise normal service will be resumed on monday or tuesday.

I shall try and do an episode tomorrow, although I'll be packing and clearing six months' detritus from my car.

Angharad.

Hi,

With any luck Angel Marquez will probably post Tuesday after next Tuesday.

A transsexual from Nottinghamshire, England, has warned she will end her life if she is refused hormone treatment on the NHS (National Health Service).

I wa reading something this morning, and saw this:

"She was wearing a dress in blue velour, with three quarter length sleeves...."

There is a story I believe posted @ Storysite where an aunt tries to cope with a visiting nephew's smoking pot, and involvement with the pot crowd. She tells him that if he continues to do pot, that he will develop as a girl.

He stops, but because of his friends, she wrongfully thinks that her nephew is doing pot and has him feminized by a doctor. She later on has him totally sex changed because she thinks that her niece is still doing pot.

My dad was telling me about a health report he saw on the news where scientists have found a link between Similac Baby Formula and GID in babies born biologically male. I have looked for info on it, but I haven't found anything. Has anyone else? According to what my dad was saying, the Similac contained high levels of Estrogen and it caused the body not to produce Testosterone by severely stunting testicular size and making the brain develop as a female.

Hi Everyone

Here's the link to a really interesting video from Australia about what gender is.

My cycling group did a thirty miler, which seemed to be forever climbing hills today - not hard in Dorset, place is full of them, 'delightful rolling countryside' say the visitors. They don't usually try to ride up them.

I am totally cream crackered, as the Cockney's would say. However, I have finished a complete story for the gabycon next weekend (8.5k words)which I will post here after it's been up on Maddy's site.

Just to let you know that the next chapter of Football Girl should be posted quite soon now.

Sorry it's taken so long, you know real life and all that...

Hugs

Currently, various details of British MPs' "expenses" have become public knowledge (much to the dismay of the Parliamentary swine). In UK law, and even in the lax parliamentary rules, for expenditure to qualify as expenses, it must be incurred wholly and exclusively as part of your duties.

So what does this have to do with us?

Amongst other examples of porcine traits, male MPs have claimed on their expenses for tampons, nappies (US diapers) and women's clothes - to be used wholly and exclusively as part of their duties!
