Cursed Civil Partnerships

male grooms
There used to be a time when seeing straight friends getting married, having children and going in off in the sunset to live in their own little exclusive bubble of domestic bliss, I could find some comfort in the fact that at least my gay friends would not let me down in the same way and remain as miserable as me.

Since the introduction of Civil Partnerships over a year ago, it seems that everyone is now getting itched. First it was the girls, then it was Adam and Ian, then Slightly, my business partner, and now it is czechOUT's turn. And of course, they are going to take the best ones.

All this gut-churning "lurving" and house-playing is simply revolting for my poor bitter, envious and twisted heart of disconsolate, hardened spinster. Hopefully some of them will remember to save me one of the furry things they will no doubt soon start to produce. If not, I'm just really going to have to get a cat and take up knitting.

Almost makes a girl want to shout: "Ian Paisley for new leader of Labour!"

  2. Ian Paisley as new leader of Labour? Judging from the recent revelations about his and Tony B's Christian bookswapping love-in, he's half way there already. Doubtless he would be welcomed with open arms by the "anyone but Gordon" crowd.

A Short History of the Elephant and Castle and Its Name

Last night I attended a lecture by local historian Stephen Humphrey who discussed the general history of the Elephant & Castle, focussing more particularly on what he called its heyday (between 1850 and 1940). This is part of a week-long art project ( The Elephant Project ) hosted in an empty unit on the first floor of the infamous shopping centre, aiming to chart some of the changes currently happening to the area. When an historian starts talking about the Elephant and Castle, there is one subject he can not possibly avoid, even if he wanted to. Indeed my unsuspecting announcement on Facebook that I was attending such talk prompted a few people to ask the dreaded question: Where does the name of the area come from, for realz? Panoramic view of the Elephant and Castle around 1960/61. Those of us less badly informed than the rest have long discarded the theory that the name comes from the linguistic deformation of "Infanta de Castille", a name which would have become at

Rev. Peter Mullen's Blog

Rev. Peter Mullen is the chaplain to the London Stock Exchange and the rector of St Michael's Cornhill and St Sepulchre without Newgate in the City. Rev. Peter Mullen was also until recently a blogger. Sadly the result of his cyber labour seem to have been deleted but Google has thankfully cached some of it and I have saved a copy for posterity, just in case. The deletion of Rev. Mullen's writings might just have something to do with the fact that last week, the Evening Standard and then the Daily Mail published an article (the same article actually) about some of those very writings (even though the elements of said writings being quoted had been published in June this year, at the time of the blessing ceremony which took place between two members of the Church of England in St Bartholomew the Great - picture ). In the article, we learned what the Rev. thinks about gay people and what should be done to them: We ["Religious believers"] disapprove of homosexuality

Liam Messam and Tamati Ellison Swap Jerseys

I am having a bit of a vacuous evening looking at images of pretty rugby players. Addidas, with its latest viral campaign, Jersey Swap , seems to be squarely aiming at the gay market with a selection of five antipodean rugby players, visitor to the website can select and see take their tops off and... well... swap jersey (those interested can create posters too). My favorites of the bunch are Liam Messam and Tamati Ellison . The pictures of their pretty faces and bulging naked torsos (excuse me while I sit down for a second!) included to this post should tell you why. A job well done for Addidas. This will go round the Internet for a while, I think.
