Ok, so standing up was a bad idea.


Having a drink then trying again.

Did I miss a link to a website with tests?! We always love tests.

I posted a link to Gen's original post on NPT8, which has the link to the site with the Kinsey test. On the Kinsey test site there's a link to the psychopath one.

You have a garden...you can grow some

While I'm up for growing a few small things in pots.... I'm not a keen gardener, so won't be overstretching myself
I don't do digging, or worms, or mud.

Bit early for that isn't it? I normally wait until 6pm.

I can't imagine that another gin and IT will help.

Just checked out my oil paintings.... some dealer seems to sell them at £150. No idea if he deals in special ones, but it's what I've got. "Rare, Hand Signed, Original, Framed, Painting on Canvas ...."
Hardly rare - the guy pumped them out like there was no tomorrow, just for tourists!

On the other hand, there's another for sale on ebay now for £10 that's in the style of the one I've got. And somebody else sold two for £70.

Anyway .... they're not worth so much that I start looking at different houses

The same site also has a spatial ability test that says I'm a bit below the middle of normal.

Does this mean Generali is preparing the ground for an announcement?

I really do not care about sexuality of others, just hope people have loving life partners if they want them.

My only experiment was as a late teen when a friend and I spent a night with my then boy friend. It was no big deal, although I think he was quite keen, we did not try again. To be fair - we were nubile best friends 19/20 and he was in his mid 20's so nothing exploitative, just fun.

She and I continued to be friends - I was a bridesmaid at her first wedding . Went to her second wedding. Parted as friends when she could not cope that we also remained friends with her ex husband.

He and I parted company when I turned up at a water polo match to go out a date with one of the team...and 'the boy friend' appeared as he also played for the same team.

This holiday has not been a great success.

A lot of effort has been made to ensure we have a good time; too much effort in fact and I just want to escape.

Feeling slightly edgy at having to amuse myself for days while OH was working, I coped. Then we come out to the mountains with some work people who decided that they have to entertain us at every opportunity, so seriously smart restaurants booked, days planned with snowy activities and OH gets ill and has been in bed for 2 days.

These people have really put themselves out for us, but I have been caught with having to join them at every occasion alone. The food has been so difficult here, all the menus consist of very few items that could be vaguely described as kosher and the food combinations are overbearing.

We have had to pull out of going up the mountain and other stuff and they refused to do this stuff without us.

So I have all the days exploring the are with them, which is sweet of them but I feel bad that their weekend in the mountains has been spoilt.

Their efforts have been so overwhelming eg dinner on the first night midweek, one of the wives asked if I like art, I give a non committal reply that I like some modern stuff; she cancels all her stuff for the next day to take me to 2 art galleries. Thoughtful to the extreme.

They also refuse to share the bills for meals and won't let me pay. So that is embarrassing. I also doubt they will put this weekend on expenses as OH is technically his line manager, so awkward. I pulled out of dinner last night because of this money issue (and the fact that this rich food s becoming unbearable).

Will catch up soon.

I'm fascinated by the sexuality of others. I have a very good friend who is a gay man and I find his enjoyment of sexuality and culture (believe me he lives in a different culture) fascinating.

I've had a friend of his tell me that if I get drunk enough then it isn't rpae. Saying that to a man is different to a woman culturally I think. Certainly I wouldn't say that to a woman nor do I believe it for any congress.

Anyhoo, I just find this stuff interesting.

Bag which I left lying on the floor in the middle of paternoster square last night with my passport, keys, work phone, £20 in cash and a fork recovered with all items intact. Perhaps it was the used gym kit which was also in there which kept it safe.
