| 7 Nov 11 | Thank you | (7 Nov 11, 1:05 PM by relaxed1) |
| I want to say a big thank you to all who sponsored @chatterbox's recent run. You can never know how much I appreciate the generosity. [more...] | ||
| 3 Oct 11 | Not perfect (2) | (3 Oct 11, 7:42 PM by vixylix) |
| This has become a favourite of mine, by the incomparable Tim Minchin. Not perfect by Tim Minchin My favourite lines are [more...] | ||
| 2 Oct 11 | LAM (2) | (3 Oct 11, 6:04 PM by Sadistia) |
| It was the first time in years that I'd been to LAM, not for any particular reason, mostly that time and energy are not in abundance. I have to say that I'm very glad I did. [more...] | ||
| 21 Jul 11 | Mental battles (2) | (22 Jul 11, 2:41 AM by All_of_Me) |
| There's not much that annoys me, or even bothers me, but sulking... And responses such as “nothing” to a question. These are the type of things I've had to deal with lately. “Grow a thicker skin” or “ignore it” would be good advice, but that's what I used to do, many moons ago. [more...] | ||
| 1 Feb 06 | Coming around again (2) | (26 May 11, 10:15 PM by El_Presidente) |
| You know that feeling of deja vu? No, me neither. Well not often. But lately (maybe not just lately, but it's lately that I've noticed it), there have been absurdly old threads revisited. [more...] | ||
| 23 May 11 | Tempora mutantur | (23 May 11, 2:26 PM by relaxed1) |
| I have had a wonderful weekend, aside from setting a plant pot alight as I left (who would have thought that mud was flammable?). [more...] | ||
| 17 May 11 | Understanding D/s (4) | (17 May 11, 5:34 PM by lisal) |
| It was bothering me the other day, as things so often do, and set me wondering. A thread on IC was asking something along the lines of “should a Dom have tried subbing, so that he understands how it feels” - I'm undoubtedly paraphrasing, but the gist is there. [more...] | ||
| 12 May 11 | Disclosure (16) | (16 May 11, 9:20 PM by lush_london) |
| I am, as so many others I suspect, getting thoroughly sick and tired of the continued hijacking of threads by a certain individual who shall (with deepest respect for the AUP) remain nameless. [more...] | ||
| 16 May 11 | Update (1) | (16 May 11, 8:14 PM by chatterbox) |
| I realise that I was a little self-deprecating in my last blog – not that any of the wonderful responses seemed to give a toss about that. I know that I am very lucky to have found my girl. [more...] | ||
| 8 May 11 | 24/7 D/s (7) | (8 May 11, 8:54 PM by Lady_Alys) |
| I have often seen discussions about 24/7 and I've contributed to a few, but they've always been unsatisfactory because of polarised views on what, and if, and how 24/7 can exist. [more...] | ||
| 23 Apr 11 | Musing (as usual) (4) | (24 Apr 11, 9:56 AM by relaxed1) |
| I am feeling tired, but don't want to give in to sleep just yet, so I was browsing around, the way I do, and thinking about the profiles of those I have known, now and in the past. I should preface this by saying that nothing I write refers to any one profile; that would be wrong and, in any case, isn't relevant. [more...] | ||
| 11 Apr 11 | Sesquipedalianism (11) | (22 Apr 11, 2:29 PM by missPowers) |
| As a long-time sesquipedalian, I have always rejoiced in interesting words of all kinds (not only long ones). This morning, I flicked the tube on whilst eating my breakfast and happened upon an episode of “Poirot”. Within a few seconds I was delighted to hear 'hors de combat' (by reference to a man's 'manhood' and 'avuncular'. Both terms struck in their deliciousness as being so rarely used. Much as on 'QI' “Stephen Fry doesn't have beer goggles, he has Madeira pince-nez”. God I love words. [more...] | ||
| 17 Apr 11 | Crunch! (3) | (18 Apr 11, 9:57 AM by relaxed1) |
| I was a little unsure if I might be making a mistake. I've always loved Camden, the vibrancy, the way it seems never to sleep. But I'd promised several friends that I'd go to the Crunch and if a man can't stand by his word... [more...] | ||
| 9 Apr 11 | Doubts (10) | (10 Apr 11, 7:12 PM by LondonShyGirl) |
| The more I think about it, the less sure I am that I am fit for a D/s relationship. I don't mean in any conventional sense – whatever the hell I mean by that – but a full-on D/s relationship. [more...] | ||
| 2 Apr 11 | A good night out (2) | (3 Apr 11, 11:50 AM by relaxed1) |
| It's odd. I don't really 'do' spontaneous these days (well, if I don't plan a bit ahead I always forget something, and usually it's important), but I kind of did on Friday. [more...] | ||
| 29 Mar 11 | How much I still have to learn. (2) | (30 Mar 11, 11:38 AM by LondonShyGirl) |
| The more I know about life (the universe and everything) the more clear it becomes to me how little I know. And that's fine. Actually, it's better than fine. It is very reassuring. [more...] | ||
| 16 Mar 11 | Choices (5) | (16 Mar 11, 10:38 PM by lima_pink_tigress) |
| I was asked today about my dreams – what dreams do I have that are as yet unfulfilled. [more...] | ||
| 10 Mar 11 | Why? (9) | (11 Mar 11, 9:53 AM by Souci_X) |
| Why do people need to be so judgemental? Not in a critical, intelligent way, but in an ignorant, self-publicising way. Many of you might think you know to whom I refer. I won't be naming names; it is undignified and unnecessary. [more...] | ||
| 9 Mar 11 | Missing the criticism (7) | (10 Mar 11, 8:30 AM by relaxed1) |
| I always got criticised by my kids for the way I shaved (or rather, didn't). The leaving of a bit under my bottom lip ('soul patch', 'clitty tickler' or whatever term you prefer) would always attract 'threats' to shave is off when I was asleep. [more...] | ||
| 18 Feb 11 | Being a man (10) | (21 Feb 11, 8:05 PM by whosthatgirl) |
| I was musing following the thread on what women like to be called as I've never been quite certain what *I* like to be called. [more...] | ||
