can i get away with it?

Tonight. The HK blogger’s shindig.

No idea who is going, but if I go, and attempt to stay incognito, I will surely be rumbled sharpish. Why? As I am English and one or two bloggers, due to an technical catastrophe, know where I work. Let’s see, HK bloggers:

Phil - English, we know what he looks like
Giles - English, we know what he looks like
CT from Ordinarygweilo - English, not sure what he looks like.

I think Hemlock might be English, but I’m sure he won’t be there.

Dave from Diaspoir is Irish I think.
Batgung - one is tall, one is balding, not sure where from though.

The rest are American, Canadian, Chinese or Aussie? Not sure.

Anyway, I’m starting to think I don’t really care if the HK bloggers know what I look like, just as long as my ugly mug doesn’t make it into any pictures, I really don’t want anyone where I work to know who I am, and I know someone at my office reads the site.

So, you might see me there. Look out for the balding ginger haired guy with a lazy eye, one leg shorter than the other, who talks with a lisp and drinks shandy.

ok, last one

Any takers?


Australian Rugby Union trophy cabinet, no longer required due to lack of use in foreseeable future. Strained shelves due to years of overuse mean this trophy cupboard should be used with caution, therefore would be ideal for any Scottish team (except curling). Slight damage to surface area resulting from Eddie Jones’ tears, otherwise in pristine condition. Must be sold to pay Wendall (Hello) Sailor’s wages.

This cabinet now comes with your very own George Gregan doll - as played with on TV by Mike Tindall - and referee Andre Watsons’ Green and Gold sunglasses - simply place in front of your eyes and you’ll see infringements at the scrum that no-one else can!!

I would have purchased it for the English team, but it clearly is not large enough to accommodate this seasons haul:

Triple Crown
Grand Slam
Calcutta Cup
Millennium Trophy (v Ireland)
Cook Cup (v Aus)
The title of Number 1 ranked team in the world

and of course…….

THE WORLD CUP!!!!

enough

Right, enough fannying around with the sidebar. Notice the nice new latest comments section?

I’ve got to get some sleep.

More milk methinks.

going off again

This time over the hijab, in Algeria and France.

Here’s an interesting view.


Wearing the hijab has given me freedom from constant attention to my physical self. Because my appearance is not subjected to public scrutiny, my beauty, or perhaps lack of it, has been removed from the realm of what can legitimately be discussed.

No one knows whether my hair looks as if I just stepped out of a salon, whether or not I can pinch an inch, or even if I have unsightly stretch marks. And because no one knows, no one cares.

I never thought of it like that at all.

ooops almost forgot…
