Re: Breakfast this Morning as a Girl LOL

Personally, I think it should make a difference if one is thinking of marriage Personally, I think that sex and gender combinations should play no part in limiting the ability for two people who happen to love each other in getting married. I feel particularly sorry for those who have a religious a...

Re: Men have "more individualism" but dress up to conform more?

On the subject of female liberty vs male conformity: I heard a bit of Woman’s Hour today on the topic of “boy mums”. One listener said that she had no problem with encourage her firstborn, a girl, to express herself and do as she pleased, including traditional boy activities, but could not do the re...

Parked at Banchory then caught the bus to Aberdeen, walked up Anderson Drive it the Premier Inn. Next day I got a lift to Tesco and we walked to Duthie Park, then 18 miles along the D...

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

She has seen me in kilts plenty of times before. However, she made no comment at the word “skirt”, so you may be right.

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

Today we were helping to clear the garage at my parents prior to some repairs being carried out. I was wearing my plain black Tartanista value kilt with white Next t-shirt, grey M&S hoodie and black V-gan boots. Whilst with my sister putting some items in the street for folks to collect, two you...

Re: Sir Garyson Perry is "just a man who likes to wear dresses"

. Strip all that away and there's a hell of a complex individual in there. He would probably have made a first class actor too. Sadly, I can't think of a modern TV interviewer who'd do him justice. Steve. I agree he’s a complex individual. I think the point he was making with “just a guy” was that ...

In the latest episode of Young Again on BBC Radio 4, Kirst Young interviews Sir Grayson Perry, an artist and rebel who famously wore an Alice in Wonderland dress to an exhibition launch, and a frilly pink frock to receive his knighthood. Amongst other comments, towards the end he says (from memory, ...

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

I studied Spanish at the age of 40 for my job in Colombia and it was extremely difficult at that age. good luck I started Spanish in my 40s and found it very easy. I went to evening classes and got in with a group of similarly educated people, so that helped. I did the B1 certificate at 54 and the ...

Re: Heavy woollen floorsweeper

I never learned to see, which is a regret now. I did drop piano at 15 but about 10 years later was the only “pianist” available and have taken it up again (though not to the extent of lessons and serious practice). If you’re mainly interested in playing for pleasure, you can probably just pick up fa...
