Happy Glastonbury Weekend!
Today I am angry but also excited...I am angry because my PC picked up the dreaded 'Beagle' virus and is near enough completely fucked...I am trying to rescue all the really important bits off my hard drive and will then have to re format the whole sodding thing...its a nasty little virus that somehow deletes a lot of your executables so programmes won't start up, and it also deletes anyhting to do with security maintenance etc...and before anybody says anything I was fully protected with Firewall and anti virus and spyware trackers, so fuck knows how the little bastard infiltrated me :(
I am excited because it's Glastonbury weekend, a whole weekend where there is something worth watching on TV...starts tonight at 7pm on BBC3 with the Editors etc...marvellous stuff...I have my little portable tent and calor gas stove set up in the lounge, i have also arranged for the neighbours to start shouting 'shrooms' 'shrooms' at the top of their voices at 4 in the morning and also have soaked the sleeping bag in water to get that freshly rained and dew ridden field feeling.
...ITV on the other hand have all the has beens (except for Ami W) trotting out for Nelson Mandelas 90th birthday party..god forgive us.
I am still losing weight...soon I shall look like a stick, albeit a stick that has had too many Krispy Kreme donuts and snapped off the tree because of it's weight...nevertheless a stick!
If you would like a personalised BOdy Protein assessment and an introduction to fabby weight shifting products then email me at piddy77@ntlworld.com . I can discuss your personalised approach with you and all in the strictest confidence...a totally FREEE service!
I have just rediscovered this amazing 1981 film, it's always been one of my favourites and is now available in high definition dvd...oh the joys of modern technology...
have a great weekend...

Give me a few weeks and I will release a new photo of me that will cause a storm in the world of weightlossness (if thats a word!)...At the moment I really want to share this vehicle with each and every one of you but I want to wait just a little while..
What comes after heartbreak?...happiness! I feel happy now, okay so I didn't get a job I went to an interview for this week..but hey!...it's their loss!!! Fuck them...mind you I will phone up and find out if I can get some feedback. Having done a fantastic interview I am presuming that the job was already lined up internally which really does suck. I will let you know further on that point. Everything is good at the moment and I hope it remains so...I have been chatting away to some very nice guys and am enjoying the freedom to shag around (well, given the chance! lol). I will find my Prince Charming one day...you wait and see...
Neil's Film of the Moment

"We are at that very point in time when a 400 year old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead is the possibility of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the divine intelligence such as the world has never dreamed."

Unforgiven
Hi folks....It's taken a while but i can finally write about the latest chapter in my love life...to put it bluntly I have just wasted one whole year of the life I have left. I spent this year 'loving' someone who, in the end, seemed to not love me at all...this bit of the blog isn't going to be about me bleating on about broken hearts etc...yes i did/do hurt but it's my own fault for not looking at the relationship properly while it was taking place. Mike, I believe, was a good person at heart but was scared of facing the world with what he thought was his dirty little secret (namely me!)
He kept telling me over and over again that he would tell his family and friends about our relationship, but he never did...I was the opposite, I put him on a pedastal and showed him off to my friends and my family, everyone in my world knew I was in love...nobody in his knew anything. He was looking for other jobs around the country and none of his plans included taking me...I, on the other hand was firmly ensconsed in a bijou terrace for two looking out of the windows in my rose coloured glasses waiting for my man to return home after a long working day.
You know what's really sad is that we did some really fun things but I don't have a single photograph of us together that I can look back on as I get older and think what might have been.
I suppose another thing that doesn't sit right with me is the dishonesty he has with his religion. Mike is a minister and regularly preaches his sermons in church...I'm confused though, what right does he have to preach to people about honesty and integrity when he can't follow those rules in his own life. I suppose that is his own battle that he needs to win, nobody else can do that for him.
It's probably time to give up on partner hunting now, I can't let myself get ravaged by hurt and anger anymore, it doesn't do me any good.
I'll miss him...

Women of the World...This is where it went wrong!
I thought you would love to see this piece from a 1930's manual on how to be a perfect housewife...gay men pay attention please!
"Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home, and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people.
Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives.
Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc., and then run a dust cloth over the tables.
Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first -- remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, and his very real need to be at home and relax.
Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
A good wife always knows her place."

Osmondmania Pt 2
Hoopla ho de ri!.....last night I was transported back to my youth as we visited Wembley Arena to see The Osmonds...all 7 of them together on one stage for the last time ever in England.
We got there to the newly beautifully transformed Arena complex and went inside where the first thing that struck you was that you could cut the oestrogen in the atmosphere with a knife..it was a scary concept 90 percent women and 10 percent men! At 8pm on the 30th May the lights dimmed and the audio visual spectacular began.
All seven took to the stage and the audience didn't know who to get excited about first...Donny, of course, got the biggest screams whereas Marie had some very manly whoops from the few men and assorted Lesbians. Jimmy faired well with his share of applause and Alan, who suffers very badly with MS, got a terrific reception as he waved his stick in appreciation. They covered a few hits, harmonising beautifully as they went. Then the stage was left to Marie who sand a few songs and had fun with one of the male members of the audience who she invited up on stage with her to sing 'Crazy' (picture one of the worst auditions for 'Britains got talent' and you would get the drift!) but it was very funny and entertaining, Marie belied her years and looked and sounded magnificent.
Country diva :)
The brothers returned to do a few more and a fantastic medley from 'The Plan' (possibly their finest album). The visuals on the huge back screens were magnificent and really added to the whole concept of the show which was beautifully put together by Jimmy.
After the interval it was some more all together stuff and then it was Donny's turn...the crowd went wild, some fainted, some made themselves moist and some just relived their youth whilst he launched into 'twelth of never' and 'puppy love' which, for me, was a very erotically charged moment.
Marie bounded back on so that they could do their Donny and Marie set...then it was Jimmy and his 'long haired lover' piece.
Finally all the family got together on stage to complete a magnificent performance that will never be seen again.
It was 3 hours of madness, but complete utterly adorable madness being part of the Osmond Family for just that short while.
God speed you lovely people

Lets talk about Roadkill!...
well recently we have had lots of talk about Roadkill and what you can do with it..ie stuff it, cook it, use it as doorstops etc etc...well...now you can entertain your family with it!
The wonderful company 'Roadkill Toys' have produced the second in a series of Roadkill teddies for the warped and heartless amongst us...first of all there was 'Twitch' a Raccoon who was run over by a chevvy and now they present 'Grind' who according to my limited edition hand written label was run over by a local bus.see photo.
'Grind' The Rabbit. Image copyright 'Roadkill Toys'
These collectors pieces are beautifully made and each one comes with it's own personal plastic (see through and zippered) body bag and it's own handwritten body bag tag (limited to the first 1000 pieces). On Twitch and Grind there is also zipper so you can safely tuck and zip away those messily spilled innerds. A complete package lovingly designed by the team at 'Roadkill Toys'. I hasten you to look at their website which is http://www.roadkilltoys.com where I am sure you will find all the info that you require (except a photo of the creator and team, as I am told that they are all so beautiful that people would not buy their products through jealousy!)
Enjoy your roadkill!

Scientology is a CULT!
Unbelievably today in London a young man under 18 was in court for protesting outside the Scientology Centre in London (back last year) whilst holding a banner which said 'Scientology is a cult', at the time a police woman asked the young chap to take it down as the word cult was causing offence to the people that they were protesting about! He refused and was arrested. How unbelievable that The Metropolitan police can waste time on a young guy expressing freedom of speech whilst the hierarchy within Scientology UK are shafting each other senseless and rubbing wads of money all over each other for pretending to teach simple minded followers about a non existent alien who was made up by a senile old wanker named L Ron Hubbard. What is it about the leaders of Scientology that make them so untouchable...is it the fact that they greased the palms of many a high ranking police officer over the past few years? will we ever find out? no, because Scientology is a well oiled money making machine that keeps people quiet by making them believe that they need 'fixing' because at the present time they are not as worthy as everybody else on the planet. Scientology is evil and needs to be stopped...what are we going to do about it?
On a lighter note.....3 Divas, 3 Albums, there will be only 1 winner......
Yes, exciting news folks, an amazing thing has happened Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Donna Summer have all released albums at the same time...
Cyndi - Bring ya to the Brink
Possibly one of the best dance albums you will ever hear...Cyndi has decided to trust some of the best dance producers on the planet to come up with an album that is full of love, hope and dancin! She is still a great songwriter and singist and this album will just blow you away. It is a great return...
12" remix of 'same old fucking story!'
Madonna - Hard Candy
An album full of unmemorable bleeps catering to the masses but extremely throw away.
'Give it to me' Mimed especially live for Radio 1's Big Weekend
Donna Summer - Crayons
Aw, this album is really good...Donna's voice has taken on a little smokey quality which is adhering to listen to. The album is full of good song writing and has one of her best ballads on it for years 'Be Myself Again'
A buffet selection of the album tracks.
Obviously commercially the winner will be Madonna but I am giving a joint 1st prize to Cyndi and Donna, the unsung queens of gayness and glitter who have worked so hard on crafting their songs for the new albums...whereas Madonna probably paid a person to sit and listen to it for her after she had finished it...

Bloody Cancer!....
Well Mum goes in for her operation on July 1st and they are going to do a lumpectomy with intensive radiotherapy treatment afterwards for 3 weeks. I was talking to a friend today and she had gone through the same thing 17 years ago and was fine...today there is an 87% success rate of ridding all of the cancer so things are looking quite positive...I know things are going to be fine :)
Madonna Madonna Madonna...thats all we have been hearing for the last week after her stint at The Radio 1 Big Weekend..mind you I thought the set was terrific, staging and all...I did spot a couple of miming moments, especially on the new single but it did have quite a frantically coreographed routine so I might let her off that one..
Definitely mimed but spellbinding!
I have the hots for james corden...it's official! (mike if you are reading this I would never run away with him! lol) Over the weeks I fell for his lovely chubby cheeks as he appeared semi naked in Gavin and Stacy and he is so talented as a writer, actor and all round bon viveur!
James Corden and Matthew Horne on Radio 1
It's been a bit quiet on the film front at the moment, there is nothing that takes my fancy so I think I will have to search farther afield and watch a film called 'xxy' from Argentina...it's about a hermaphrodite coming to terms in an opressive world...sounds like a bundle of laughs doesn't it!
all for now

Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head
What a bloody awesome album.....okay , to put it bluntly scarlett is not a great singer but over one album she has created a magical tribute to the songwriting of Tom Waits (except for one track written by herself).
Uncle David Bowie does a bit of backing on a couple of tracks and Tom appears on just one as far as I can hear after a couple of listens.
If you visualise a sort of mellow Nick Caves feel, then that is what the album is like...some great tunes and I don't know why but it just works really well.
I really hope people will give this a chance because for me it has turned out to be one of those exciting little gems that turns up occasionally.
Go Scarlett!

sometimes it snows in April...
...but not in May, because the sun is out and everything is fabulous!
I went away for the weekend with Mike and we had quite a groovy time apart from me having a head injury (well a slight bang and a mark!)...and no i did not bash it on the headboard of the bed tsk tsk tsk...it was actually in an ice cream shop if you must know...very small people these Mablethorpians. We stayed in a nice hotel overlooking a golf course in Grimsby, from there we travelled out to Lincoln, Hull (via the humber bridge) Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, Saltfleet and Donna Nook. It was nice seeing part of the country that I have not been to before...Mablethorpe was nice and quaintly old fashioned with small donkeys on the beach, mum and dads sitting on stone sandy covered steps eating large ice creams...the sound of the carousel and the bleep bing bing of the amusement arcades. I must admit though I was not quite prepared for the amount of bling that I would see in Mablethorpe, it was like the audience of the Jeremy Kyle show had exploded and metamorphised into seaside travellers.
It was a pretty exhausting weekend especially as a certain person does tend to snore for hours on end...I love him immensely but wish I could stuff a couple of teddy bears up his nostrils so as to get some rest ;)
Lisa (you know , my bestest friend) and her lover (Sir Chris, knight in shining armour) have the same problem but have worked out the same idea as me...at home we now have a lovin' room and a sleepy time room, so either I run away when he falls asleep or Mike decamps when the time is right! Back together first thing in the morning and everyone is happy:)
I had some bad news on Tuesday, my mum found out that she has breast cancer. It is operable and they are taking her into hospital on the 1st June to do a lumpectomy on the breast followed by an intensive course of Radiotherapy. To be honest I think I freaked out more than my mum did because when she told me it just bought all the horrible flashbacks of the stuff that I went through a couple of years ago with my own bout of cancer. I really wish my mum a speedy recovery and send my love to her across cyberspace. x
Film of the Week
The Orphanage is now on DVD and it's a terrific ghost story that hits just the right spots...it's beautifully filmed and has a very satisfying storyline...don't watch it alone though!
Top Tuuuuuuuuuune
Macy Gray - I try

I went away for the weekend with Mike and we had quite a groovy time apart from me having a head injury (well a slight bang and a mark!)...and no i did not bash it on the headboard of the bed tsk tsk tsk...it was actually in an ice cream shop if you must know...very small people these Mablethorpians. We stayed in a nice hotel overlooking a golf course in Grimsby, from there we travelled out to Lincoln, Hull (via the humber bridge) Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, Saltfleet and Donna Nook. It was nice seeing part of the country that I have not been to before...Mablethorpe was nice and quaintly old fashioned with small donkeys on the beach, mum and dads sitting on stone sandy covered steps eating large ice creams...the sound of the carousel and the bleep bing bing of the amusement arcades. I must admit though I was not quite prepared for the amount of bling that I would see in Mablethorpe, it was like the audience of the Jeremy Kyle show had exploded and metamorphised into seaside travellers.
It was a pretty exhausting weekend especially as a certain person does tend to snore for hours on end...I love him immensely but wish I could stuff a couple of teddy bears up his nostrils so as to get some rest ;)
Lisa (you know , my bestest friend) and her lover (Sir Chris, knight in shining armour) have the same problem but have worked out the same idea as me...at home we now have a lovin' room and a sleepy time room, so either I run away when he falls asleep or Mike decamps when the time is right! Back together first thing in the morning and everyone is happy:)
I had some bad news on Tuesday, my mum found out that she has breast cancer. It is operable and they are taking her into hospital on the 1st June to do a lumpectomy on the breast followed by an intensive course of Radiotherapy. To be honest I think I freaked out more than my mum did because when she told me it just bought all the horrible flashbacks of the stuff that I went through a couple of years ago with my own bout of cancer. I really wish my mum a speedy recovery and send my love to her across cyberspace. x
Film of the Week
The Orphanage is now on DVD and it's a terrific ghost story that hits just the right spots...it's beautifully filmed and has a very satisfying storyline...don't watch it alone though!
