Vendo took 3 months sub for Suicide Girls this morning. I wish they sent me an email as I just had enough in my bank to cover the sub.
I was thinking about whether to renew the sub. I haven't been getting anything from this site recently. This is due to a number of factors, the most important was that I was completing my Master's degree and dissertation. So, i came back onto the site the last 10 days or so. I do feel as if I am talking to myself when I post things on here. When I engaged with a thread on a group I received the kind of knock which reminded me of being the funny-looking kid at school. The group which would be most interesting to me is the one for SG members in the UK. However, what a Kafkaesque structure they have put up! (Actually, if one reads the blog on why they do this, their reasons for doing so are sound. It just deters me from putting myself forward lest I will be blackballed. They wouldn't tell me why either). So, I was thinking of stopping the sub. Too late now. So, I will try to engage with others again.
Sorry for the self-pitying blog!

Kiki, my cat and friend!
Apologies for not being on SG for a while. I have been busy working. This meant I missed (but have now seen thank God!) the beautiful pics of SGs and hopefuls. I have liked Elye pics, especially the recent sunbathing pics which nearlly caused me a heart attack. Beautiful.
I'm going to be a good boy and try to blog more regularly.
Before I go to London for work I thought I'd share this treat.
I remember listening to this on John Peel's radio show in 1988 and was gobsmacked. Great stuff.

Apologies for the rant.
Very nice start of the week for my brother. A member of staff at a local train station called him a 'batty.' (I won't name the station). My brother is openly gay. Why the abuse from the woman? My brother was late for work and needed his ticket to be topped up. The machine to do so was broke and another had a long queue. He asked the woman at the counter if she could do so, mentioning the faulty machine. He asked politely that he had less than 60 seconds to catch the train. This was the trigger.
She stated she had abuse all morning and would not take his order. She cancelled the transaction and threw the card at him across the counter! Thus he missed the train. He decided to make a complaint. He asked for her name (which she proudly showed the badge on her breast). He asked for the pen. another trigger. She sucked in her teeth and said 'Batty!' (and now he is complaining about that too).
What will happen? Nothing I suspect. Her union will back her whatever. I support unions but I have noticed that the nasty people seem to get the best support from the organisation. Maybe it's because they are most vociferous. I suspect she will claim she was racially abused. Alas, my brother should bring along an ex or two, as he seems to go out with men from West Indian background. I wonder what she would say to such men! A fellow West Indian who is gay! The horror! (At least the CCTV footage will show who was the aggressive party in this, and throwing tickets and pens at people). I do hope the RMT union does not support her too strongly. I have seen their conspicuous stall at Gay Pride in London trying to trumpet their gay rights' credentials. I wonder if they only care about gay members, not the gay population as a whole.
