Quiz Night (1) For Whom the Bells Almost Toll

Last night was our weekly quiz night. Our team is the "3 non Blondes" consisting of Vicky, Debbie and myself. We are totaly and inappropriately competetive. Our mighty opposition are "The Muppets", "The Campanologists" and our deadly rivals "Sixth Sense". We had managed to win the last 2 weeks in a row until last night. Shorn of our own Jeremy Clarkson, in the shape of Vicky, who selfishly thought doing her shift at work was more important than the quiz, we finished a distant 3rd. I think "2 Dumb Blondes" would have been a better epithet. The quiz was won by the formidable Sixth Sense with Campanologists a gnats whisker behind (Do gnats have whiskers?, I'm glad that wasn't one of the questions!! (By the way I do overuse exclaimation marks and parenthethies)). Our problem was too many questions on Literature and Art, and not enough on Telly and Pop Music.
The Tally so far for 2008
Sixth Sense 2 wins
3 non Blondes 2 wins
Campanologists 0 wims
Mupets 0 wins

Vicky, Debs & Me - The 3 non Blondes

Why vs The World

Vicky has told me that my blog title is dead corny, but I'm stuck with it and anyway the world always nereds corn.
Well I'm 40 next week...Thinking about things, my relationship with the world has always been strained. I have always felt the world was a blue suit and I'm brown shoes. Soo now its time for me to confront my opponent head on. Its a catchweight bout over 12 rounds, or however many years I have left. I promise to fight fair, well most of the time and I'm determined not to throw in the towell, because I guess there is no chance of a rematch (unless Buddhism has been right all along)...So seconds out ....Round 1

Hello world

Hello Boys! Pose inspired by Vicky!

Well this is my first attempt at a blog. I have great ambitions that my blog is going to be full of gravitas and insight into the human condition, but in all honesty it will probably be just random ramblings from my ever more confused mind! It will no doubt contain some Bridget Jones like references to my weight, some whinging about the way the world deals with with a Trangendered woman like myself, the odd remark about my daily adventures with my friends, moans over the state of the planet, some therories on quantum physics (I did nearly complete a year at uni!), frustrations of a Stoke City FC Supporter, and possibly the odd recipe idea (though probably just reviews of Take Away meals). I cant guarantee any of it will make much sense, but if you cant laugh with me then just laugh at me!!
