Perfect :) Just thought I'd brag a little :):):) Wed, 01 Feb 2006 13:43:27 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/69647/ Well, thought I'd just point this out :) Sun, 31 Jul 2005 23:32:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/45221/ Hello there. Just back in from an extremely busy weekend, which I fully enjoyed, although must admit I'm now exhausted. Weekend BBQ and party, thoroughly enjoyed, even though fair amaount of travelling involved. Well worth the effort, though. Barbeque was excellent - and many, many thanks to the host for remmebering I'm vegetarian, and looking out for me. That was very considerate. In addition, I must say, that I felt privileged to get to play with a number of cracking people - an embarassment of riches, really, but enormous fun for me, nonetheless :) My apologies if I hogged the dungeon a little, and it was a shock to realise we were still playing when people were beginning to rise the following morning.....Nice to have the chance to meet some old friends, and met some very interesting new people, too - oh, and I'm apparently a pink and fluffy dom, which is nice...I think. Hmmm. Anyhow, gonna go to bed, as I've had about 8 hours sleep since Thursday, so I'm feelin a little jagged, and work in am. Take care. Mon, 06 Jun 2005 17:23:53 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/40364/ Hello there. Had weekend in Scotland, back to work today, but thought I'd write a quick one before out for evening. Went to Nightshade on Friday in Edinburgh, had a very enjoyable time. Met some nice people, but didn't get to chat with as many as Id've liked - isn't it always the way :) Played a little - (hope she enjoyed it :)) - and thought the food was exellent, a very nice touch. Must admit, part of the point of going to a club is to play, although I appreciate not everyone feels the same. Must give many thanks to C, for giving me a lift back to Motherwell, again. Most appreciated, and I look forward to seeing people up there again. Nuff for now, so take care. Thu, 02 Jun 2005 17:36:50 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/40003/ Hello there. Just want to be a little cheeky, really :) I've managed to squeeze a Friday night off, and I am able to get up to Motherwell, where I have accomodation - I live in Stockport, Manchester. I'd like to get to Nightshade if possible, as I've never been, and I've heard good things about it. Anyhow, if anyone can give me a lift there and back from Motherwell to Nightshade tomorrow, it would be most appreciated. I realise it's short notice, but I can live in hope :) Cheers. Mon, 28 Mar 2005 00:16:06 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/34670/ Hello there. Battered on pastis, so thought I'd rant, as I haven't written for a while. Been playing a lot with A, and nemesis last night with her, thouroughly enjoyed myself. Busy last night - quite a few faces I didn't recognise, and for those who read this I was in a blue suit and paisley shirt, smoking a cigar :) Maybe help put a face to a name for a few . Saw some really nice fire play, which I was interested in - quite impressive, and chatted to a few new people, which is always good to do. A seemed to enjoy herself, although she's a little sore today (:)), as am I where she bit me :) Damn, must remember to use more than just a hand to gag, in future ..... Car broke down on way home on M62, so AA called out :( Car's basically knackered, so will probably need to get another - very annoying. BBB last week, and A seems to know just about everyone, so got introduced to lots of people whilst going around - hello again, because I'm crap with names, but quite good with faces. After-party was a little odd - interesting venue, and enjoyed it, but a little cramped to swing me dragons-tail :) Nice staff, though. Noticed the previous blog on veggie food - been a vegetarian for about 20 years, myself, and really the main reason for me that veggie food is "meat substitute" is that meat is presented that way because it suits the human form - meat doesn't naturally come in sausages and burgers, after all, its just that those shapes and sizes suit peoples appetites, so it's fairly sensible that vegetarian food comes the same way. Just cause I'm vegetatarian doesn't mean I don't eat, you know, and anyone who knows me will vouch for me being far from squeamish. The current trend to have vegetarian food tasting like meat is, I must admit, a little odd, though - the soylent green reference is excellent, but why not reprocess people? See Peter Greenaway for further references, although the re-burger project of the Yes Men works too :) Anyway, I'm fairly gone, and rambling, and will probably regret posting this tomorrow, but seeya around. Sat, 12 Mar 2005 14:30:13 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/33480/ Hello y'all. Lash last night, enjoyed very much as always. Couldn't stay very long, as I have my children this weekend, but I was able to get some childcare to midnight. Had to leave early :(, so not as much socialising as I'd like. Did get to spend a fair time playing, though :) A fairly quiet night, to begin with, although seemed to be picking up just as I was leaving - just to piss me off, I suppose :) Got to try out a little suspension under instruction - Thanks for that, T, - and got to use my favourite toy of the moment, the dragon's tail :) Of course, LJ upstaged effortlessly with a single-tail, and I'm only jealous. Git :) Feel a lot more confident doing suspension now, and will be a little more experimental in future (tries to show malicious grin). Said hello to a few people, and nice to see some familiar faces, even if I didn't get time to chat much. Time to occupy children for a few hours, so see y'all again soon. Mon, 07 Mar 2005 22:36:14 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/33136/ Hello there. Not written for a while, as I seem to revolve around lots of work for a few weeks, then some concentrated play for a bit. So, been to Nemesis for last two weekends, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I do like that place, and getting to meet some cracking people there. Got given a dragons tail a bit back by A, and I like it a lot, so she was subsequently practised upon for a considerable time (:)). Impressive toy, and I would guess that my accuracy is improving - well, the comments have changed gradually from "have you started yet?" to "bastard", anyway :) Went over to her house for dinner, and was fed wonderfully, with absolutely delcious vegetarian sushi, (yeah, I know - a few people have ripped the piss at the idea of a vegetarian that wants to be a Dom :)) and the ferocious wasabi being very high points in an outstanding meal. Thank you, A - you'd put a lot of thought and effort into it, and it showed :) Must admit, I tormented her a little later on, making her wear large knickers to Nemesis, but it was worth it, I reckon. My run up and weekend so far has been training on Thursday, Nemesis Friday, work Saturday day then Lifestyle munch for a little while in afternoon, (and another "happy birthday" to the birthday girl there) A N other club Saturday evening, then MFM on Sunday. Very enjoyable, if a little tiring. Working this week, training Tuesday and Thursday, and have my children this weekend - hoping to find a babysitter, to get to Lash on Friday for at least a few hours, though. Probably won't be able to get to Couch Club, though, which is a shame, unless I can twist someone's arm again for childcare. Got a week off next week, and may get to spend most of it working on my flat in Motherwell, so I've been looking around a little for things to do whilst I'm there - have written to a coupla people from here, but no-one available to show me around a little so far. Appears to be a couple of things on, though, Edinburgh and Perth, so if I don't get anywhere abroad, I'll try and get out to them. Sun, 13 Feb 2005 22:01:42 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/31496/ Hello there. Haven't posted for a while, very busy time over last few weeks. Working over weekend, but managed to juggle time to come out to play at Lash and Couch Club. Thoroughly enjoyed myself at both - but then I always enjoy going out to play :) Sorry if I hogged the bench too much, but I tried to use it well.....lass I was playing with, A, was good fun, and only mentioned the ropes being tight once ( :)), with the elbow cinch behind back cutting off circulation a little. Teasing me about whether I'd started with the flogger, too - I really must try harder :) Maybe I should set up an NVQ, and get myself assessed.....Seemed to be a busy night there, and nice to renew friendships and meet new people. Couch club is smaller venue, but nice equipment and a very friendly place. Plenty of play to be had, and lass I was with seemed to enjoy, so good evening all round. Do enjoy pushing a limit now and again, A, so looking forward to next time :) Violet wands and elecrical boxes are so much fun, although kissing was a little ouchy for me - but then again, I'm a coward and a wimp. Maybe that's why I wanna be a dom...... Series of Japanese films on at Cornerhouse cinema, so went to see Sword of Doom today, excellent, and looking forward to Onibaba tomorrow, so take care and seeya there. Tue, 01 Feb 2005 18:35:57 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/30724/ Well, had an extremely busy couple of weeks, hardly time to relax. Just the way work goes, really, sometimes get good blocks of time off and sometimes hardly any, and had to do a lot of running around to sort out car and job interviews. Finally got my car back, after over 2 weeks in garage, £900 to get through MOT, which I was not best pleased with. If I'd known that before starting the work, I probably would have scrapped it and got another. Still, done now and should hopefully last a while, and a relief to be mobile again. Sat, 22 Jan 2005 01:00:21 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/30113/ Hello there. Very quick blog, as been a very busy couple of days. Went up to Glasgow on Wednesday, had interview on Thursday, went to munch in Edinburgh Thursday evening, back to Manchester on train this morning, straight to work for 12 hour shift and just home, so a little tired. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone I met there - was made to feel welcome straight away, although the 80 shillings probably helped :) Do like Scottish ales, but unfortunately my gut does too...Everyone very approachable, and willing to chat. Thanks to MsSpanky for offer, but didn't see it before I went. Extremely generous of C to give me a lift back to Motherwell so I could stay longer, so cheers for that, and I'm glad I went - had an enjoyable evening. Will take more cash next time - the little bring and buy seems an excellent idea, and I really liked the look of that horsehair flogger :), but didn't have cash with me :( Will try hard to make it to club next Saturday, if I can talk ex into keeping children for night. Will try some bribery :) Quick question about the club, for anyone that may know - what's the position on knife play? If I bring a knife or 5 (:)), will it cause problems or objections for entry? Anyhow, off to bed. Take care. Tue, 18 Jan 2005 23:43:05 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29915/ Hmmm, this should be interesting - replies directed at blogs could be good, although maybe some of the inevitable responses could be anonymous, albeit maybe moderated? Some people may wish to make valid comments, but be unprepared to have the comments attributed to them. Don't give a toss myself - as anyone that's read my blogs will probably gather, I have plenty of opinions, on just about everything, and am not averse to expressing them :), but just a thought for webmaster. Sun, 16 Jan 2005 14:05:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29460/ Gotta stick my oar in on this one - people play with the imagery of all sorts of institutions, groups and activities, and these are guaranteed to cause offence to sone people. Good 8-). I have more of an issue of a prince being a prince, than with the clothes that the genetically limited abomination has on. IMHO, the French and the Russians had the right idea about royal families :) The life of privilege he represents is more of a social injustice and insult than a party costume. He represents for me nothing more than the spawned pup of a long line of plunderers. The only reason that they have wealth and authority to begin with is that over time there family and proxies, the army, navy, missionaries etc - ie their gang - has maimed, killed and looted for it, demanded in taxation. Then they've made rules to maintain a status quo that supports them - laws and institutions- and enforces these rules with more of their gang - legal system. I see no difference in principle between this and any other gang anywhere - any gang in any city is only trying to do the same, after all, taking money, enforcing arbitrary rules, it's just that HRH has the best resourced and oldest gang, and can extort resources, ie tax, from more people. Handful of people can have a bit of a say in it, parliment, but tinker at the edges only, please, to look effective. You've as much say in the gangs of Moss Side or Brixton as the one in Whitehall... As for the meaning of the symbolism, well, it was the petit-bourgeois, ie the German equivalent of the Daily Mail reader, that democratically elected the national socialist party into power in the first place. I personally find the ideology abhorrent, but that's democracy for you. Quite enjoyed reading Nietzsche, though - much misrepresented, I reckon. Democracy, or institutionalised mob-rule, tends to be used when outcome is pre-determined and useful, then held up as an example of it's authority and efficacy. Yes, the swastika is a powerful symbol, but there is nothing new about right wing symbolism, and for example Egyptian, Roman, British Empire, Christian imagery is played with - the only difference is they are (mostly) further away in time. Every SM club has a cross...As for wearing in a BDSM context, go right on ahead. If you can't dress and express yourself in a fetish club, then where can you? However, if you wish to impose the ideology onto me, then we may have a somewhat robust disagreement....As an aside, there are a few groups around the world that are trying to re-appropriate the swastika to its previous, ie pre third reich, meaning, which was generally positive. Ju-ju's are significant to a lot of people, and that should be respected, but does not have to be agreed with. I have no objections to anything that people belive in - just don't expect me to necessarily share them. If your beliefs are weak enough to be shaken by what I say, then your beliefs don't have any strength or value, and will not sustain you. Wed, 12 Jan 2005 23:49:09 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29459/ Hmm, have thought about this kind of thing a fair bit over years, and can quite understand Synical's viewpoint. Would like to point out that in my humble opinion, rights do not exist - all that there is, is a privilege broadly agreed upon. There is not one single behaviour that is agreed by every person on the planet as being acceptable, and no behaviour that everyone agrees is unacceptable either, and a right that you personally cannot enforce, or can only insist upon after its breach, is meaningless. As for someone breaking into my home....a favourite saying of mine is I'd rather be tried by 12 than buried by 6. Law is an imposed system, with (usually) just enough of the illusion of freedom to make it not worthwhile to fight against. Law, and it's roots in religious moralities, is a con. Everyone is free - if you just accept that it will have consequences, you are capable of anything :) You have but one life, and should take responsibility for it, including the negatives. Ahh, I do like an inebreated rant :) Seeya. Mon, 10 Jan 2005 21:05:40 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29458/ Hiya. Not been online for a couple of days, and get the feeling that I've seriously pissed some people off without intending to. Don't really understand how - was looking forward to weekend of play, and was told it wasn't happening at short notice, so expressed annoyance and disappointment, and this seems to have been taken as me having a go. Far from it - have enjoyed playing with this person for quite a while, and kinda thought that she would've been pleased that I was looking forward to spending what is to me a sizeable chunk of my free time with her. However, I've been told in the past (by my family) that I'm a bit of a newty get, and can come across badly sometimes. So, S2S, if I have offended you then please accept my apologies - none was intended, or should be taken. It was certainly not my intention to make you hurt, or angry, so if I can make amends, then please allow me to do so. I hope your rekindled works out for ya. If anyone has any issues with me, then I'll be at Lash on Friday and we can talk through them, OK? No need for mountains/molehills, and I'll buy the beer and bring cigars. Sat, 08 Jan 2005 09:56:57 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29457/ Hiyas all round. Just got up, read a couple of blogs, and appear to have given wrong impression to SS - look, I'm not pissed off with you, just with the situation. Not personal, OK? I do appreciate the situation you're in, and understand your difficulties, but I reckon that I am allowed to be less than chuffed about it. I have to plan things out in advance a lot, so short notice changes leave me with little flexibility - my next full weekend off is at the end of February, and with a little more notice I could've made other plans for this weekend, is all. Free time is valuable, and I like to use it doing things. I mean you well, you know, and hope you can get your head straight. If there's anything I can help with, let me know - might not be able to do much, as your issues aren't really with me, but I can listen, opine and feed you chocolate if nothing else :). And as for using big words, can't help it. Maybe it just over-compensates for a little willy....:) Fri, 07 Jan 2005 19:36:10 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29456/ Hello there. Been reading and hearing about the censorship issues at the Beeb with some amusement. I haven't had a TV for around 15 years, mainly because I couldn't see the point in watching a censored medium in the first place. Nothing I have heard or seen has changed as far as I can see, and some tacky-looking prurient abomination of an excuse for entertainment does not seem worth fighting for, except on the point of principle. Just seems a shame that I feel that I need to defend something so crass to support a highter issue. I would prefer to support something that I thought was genuinely pushing at challenging ideas, institutions and morality, rather than gawping at it. Ah well. Personally, I really don't give a toss about peoples religious sensibilities. I'm an atheist, and consider all religions ultimately a desire to avoid facing the reality of non-being. Fine if it works for you, but don't honestly expect me to humour it, or think of it as anything other than an emotional crutch. I was born as a series of chemical reactions, I live at the moment whilst the reactions sustain, percieving reality through interpretation of sensations and development of concepts, and one day I will die and be gone. That's it. Assuming meaning and purpose is a childish irrelevance. Ignorance of origins does not require mythology, just a realisation of lack of knowledge, and certainly doesn't need anthropomorphism. The only meaning that life has is that which we give it. Religions offend me by their existence, as I think that their existence misdirects energies and imposes value systems that are byzantine and nonsensical, but that's OK - in partial reply to zaisan, freedom of speech for me includes the right to offend people, and to take offence. I want to be challenged, as that is how I develop and grow, and the things that will challenge me will not necessarily have meaning or relevance to other people. Problem is, that a lot of people are not that secure in their own self, are easily shocked, which is really a difficulty in perception, cannot accept that ways of thinking that are diverse from their own can still be valid, and will suppress them, whereas I would say if you don't like it, don't accept it. No one forces you to watch TV, no one forces you to read - well, not once you've left institutional teaching :)- you choose to do these things. Just because a belief or value is shared does not make it true. Being an adult is accepting who you are, and taking responsibility for it. Just my most humble opinion. Anyway, enough of my little rant :) Sat, 01 Jan 2005 21:11:27 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29455/ Hiya. Back in from work :(, reality bites with a vengeance. Ah well, must gain a crust somehow, just wish that job didn't take up so much of personal capacity. Anyhow, very enjoyable evening at Nemesis last night, as expected. I do enjoy playing, and take advantage of the opportunity when it arises 8-), and I've now been reliably informed that even though we call subs rotten, all doms are liars and the worst sluts of all.....(ain't that right, J? :)) I was shocked and stunned to hear it, I tell yer. I always considered myself as a fine, moral and upstanding pillar of the community. And then to be told that I looked ordinary, well, really =-o. O tempora, o mores.....;) Good to meet some new people, and always nice to meet people I've met before. Terrible with names, but recognised quite a lot of faces. Funny how sometimes they're easier to recognize when contorted and screaming, isn't it? Especially nice to bring a tear and smile to a face at same time..... Pleased that sub I played with enjoyed the evening too, and hope that the new year brings good things. First time I'd played with the electrical box, but it won't be my last, I reckon. Combined with knives it's excellent! Must go to bed now, as up for work in morning. Next day off not for a week now, unfortunately, so mebbe seey'all Friday at Selecta. Take care. Wed, 29 Dec 2004 05:14:23 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29454/ Hiya. Spent christmas in glasgow, and got to spend time with my children, which was nice. PS2 for 1, and game boy SP for other went down well, so pleased they're happy with them. Came back to Stockport last night, and got call from the sub I've been playing with. Went over, and another dom, A, came over as well. I've met him before, and seem to have got on well, so nice to meet him again. I was there really as the "spare", offering (im)moral support :) and I was honoured to be there really. Won't spoil the tale, as I'm sure that she'll have some ramblings on it :), but it was a good evening for me. Would've liked to have played a little more, myself, but situation didn't seem right for that, somehow, and I didn't want to be a prick and force the issue. I'm sure you all know how petulant an egocentric dom can be...and there's already enough arseholes to go round :). So, hope you're not too sore, and I'll look forward to Nemesis. And as for you, wench, I reckon we'll have to gang up on you together in a club at some point soon :) In consequence, I went home, few drinks, movie - black angel 2, japanese gangster/revenge stuff, pizza, feeling a little battered and thought I'd write this. Perfectly lucid to me at moment, and I'll probably read it tomorrow and think it's gibberish, as usual :), but it doesn't matter. Glad to be home and relaxed. Not back to work for a couple of days yet, and still some relaxing to do, so cracking open another bottle of pastis and chillin. Seeya later. Mon, 20 Dec 2004 13:36:54 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/29453/ Hello again. Read my own blog for yesterday. Hmmm. Shouldn't be allowed near these computer things when battered, really - I can talk as much shite as the next man :) Not much to say, other than I've been playing with a sub for quite a few weeks now, and I'm pleased that she seems to have enjoyed me. Probably not going to see her again before xmas, so just wanted to wish her all the best publicly, as it where. If I don't seeya before, then nemesis NYE is looking good, and I look forward to it. Hope your bruises have gone down a little by then, so I can work on some new ones :) Just like to say that I've met some cracking people here in Manchester / NW, dom(mes), subs, fetishists in general, and feel that I have benefitted from the experience. May it continue in the new year in similar vein. So if I don't get chance to write again before xmas, have a ripped one, and I'll see y'all agin soon. What would I like for christmas? 1 Blonde, 1 brunette, 1 redhead, saturdays lottery numbers and world domination by breakfast. Might as well, ey? Can only ask.....
