Hi Becky
I've just found your web site (through Google) and read it with great interest.
I am working on a pilot show for a series for Channel Five about devoted dads and daughters. The programme will reflect a diversity of circumstances in which fathers fulfil their roles. It will examine the positive impact dads have on their daughters' lives and development. Fathers are often represented in the media as being absent or uninvolved and our intention is buck this trend by featuring devoted fathers and daughters. We have started filming with two very different dads and daughters and are currently looking for a third relationship. I think it would be really interesting to talk to a dad who is a transsexual, transvestite or cross dresser and explore his relationship with his daughter. It might be a good opportunity to dispel any preconceptions that people might have about dads in transition and the impact it has on their relationship with their children.
I wondered whether this was something you might be able to help me with. I don't know whether you know anyone personally who might be interested or whether you could point me in the right direction to get in touch with people who might like to be involved.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Rosie

Siobhan Curran > I've just found your web site [...] and read it with great interest. Cathii Scott Sure! I am a TV slut, I will do anything for a bit of UHF recognition!. Do you think their budget extends to coming to Australia? Cathii Scott ooops that didn't sound so great. Ummm I am not a "TV Slut" I am a TS that wants to get my face on TV as often as possible.... God I really should re-read things before hitting the submit button. sim Erm, TV often recieve a dodgy signal, now they're broardcasting them !
fairly-odd The quickest way into a TV's pants is through the zener diode. Karol Cross "mail lesbian?" Joanna Badum ching... jadis LOL - bex, VERY eddie izzard of you!!! hehehehe
Thanks to Jane wangling us some tickets, I spent the afternoon at an RAF families day.
Families days are basically the forces' way to show what all our taxes are being spent on. I'm exceptionally pleased to see mine have been spent on bouncy castles and beer tents. :-)
It was a jolly nice way to spend the last day of the heatwave (it officially ends tomorrow folks, and I don't need an illegal Met Office feed to tell me that).
One of the best bits was a display by the Red Arrows. I love the Red Arrows, they demonstrate what the British forces do best: incredibly precise manouvres very close together whilst clad in bright red camouflage. If we could get the red arrows to wear furry black busbies we would.

VB-W That looks a very similar move to one I saw years ago where they drew a giant heart in the sky and put an arrow through it. Loadsa applause that day. VB-W That looks a very similar move to one I saw years ago where they drew a giant heart in the sky and put an arrow through it. Loadsa applause that day. jessica_sweet_tv If only I have read this before my silly comment in flickr Pandora Caitiff The Arrows did the heart/arrow thing at the Lowestoft Air Show on Thursday. I always like the big Valentine's heart they do with the third plane rocketing through the middle to do the arrow...flash gits. Jane Titter! ;~) Joanna Nice work :) Miss K fork 'andles Becky How many? Siobhan Curran *chuckle* Miss K 'ose Pandora Caitiff Chuckle! 
davew Omni have not see it even spoken about for years, I did have the 1st UK edition but sadly its gone, loved the pics and the facts in it. fairly-odd I love Bridget's work! And yes, I faintly remember OMNI magazine. :) Yes, I remember OMNI! One thing that always stuck in my mind is that they used to have articles about the weird and wonderful homes of scientists - in caves and underground and who knows what. Stephanie Delacey Er, no, I'm not anonymous. Kris That's really nice work. I'm disappointed that we can't see more... I remember Omni. And I'm sure I've mentioned it before in your blog. hannaviolane yes bex her work is very interesting, has a sort of 'letraset' type feel to it. speaking of Omni the other -lesser known- mags at the time, that always seemed to be on the coffee table at the soho art studio where i first started working, were Graphis and Motif..still got some copies somewhere? ( i can feel a trip to the attic coming on now!) jessica_sweet_tv_mx Great images Pandora Caitiff Ooh! They're nice. Although the top "thing" from low sun oddly reminds me of the SuperDimensional Fortress Macross. I wonder if it was a conscious or unconscious influence? Jane It also makes in invisible in IE5.5 as I found out at work Joggerblogger If they’re using I.E. you’ve got to ask yourself do they really deserve to be seeing your cartoon? :-D Zaida Angel I don't have an IE to try, but i'm pretty sure that any non number characters would have the same effect... Sarah F. By design I'm sure, as so many great MS features are. After all, change that and you'd likely break a bazillion other hacks to avoid other features. Jessica You know the tilt shift trick is to give the illusion of a wide depth of field, but the tilt shift lens itself is only the effect of a width depth of field. By tilting the focal plane so it's out of line with what you are viewing, the object or scene is only in focus where it intersects with the focal plane. You can't actually create that depth of field without having your lens a very long way from the camera, the cam has to be scaled up as you want your scene to appear scaled down. I reckon it'd be possible to take a number of images of a scene from slightly different angles, like a stereo image, then use that to calculate and simulate the lens blur perfectly. So you could make really complicated scenes look like tiny models.... this is what happens when I sit in drinking beer on my own! Miss K her ankles are a dead giveaway. Siobhan Curran That is how you use touché. Hmm Becky Jessica: it's my medical opinion you should drink less beer and smoke more pot. Becky Siobhan: Yeah, TV's not stupid. :-) Joanna Is it just me or does that image not appear in IE6? Beki I can't see anything :0( Becky Should work okay now! :-) Joanna touché Isobel Someone's been reading too much Dumas, or watching too much Tom & Jerry.... I haven't quite decided which, yet. Becky Isobel, I'm shocked that you don't know me well enough to know which. Isobel Oh, that's alright then. jessica_sweet_tv Fuel Firing Systems?? Freiya Forever Feeling Slack? Joanna /me runs off to check through Becky's contacts' photos.....
I just thought I'd share this with you. It's a mosaic portrait Jim Bumgardner created of little old me, using photomosaic software he wrote himself.
You have to zoom in to see the full effect; the picture is made up of thousands of individual photographs of flowers. I think it's fantastic!
Jim is a bit of a Flickr star, he designed Colrpickr, a brilliant tool that finds pictures on Flickr based on colour. He also co-wrote the book Flickr Hacks, among many other projects. I feel quite honoured to be the subject of one of his works!

That looks awesome. Joanna Nice work! And a proper mosaic rather than just tinting the pictures. Very cool. Following your link to Jim Bumgardner (snigger - childish I know, but hey?), I stumbled across this site: "http://www.josleys.com/index.php". If you like Escher, tessellations, fractals, etc. then check out his work. Don'cha just love t'interweb! sim ooo nifty ! Freiya neat-o! Isobel PLEASE, don't ask me to identify them ;o) Great! Jim's automated Chuck Close!Labels: trannyandtv
Mr.Troglodyte Nice ad. But I tried getting my Mac to talk and it didnt. I'm not sure that's the right use of 'Touche'......... Becky @Anonymous: Touché! :-) Siobhan Curran @Mr. Troglodyte. Macs have been able to talk (and listen) since the early nineties... laptop battery thanks a lot Jane snigger. Joanna Nice one ;-) Siobhan Curran ROTF! Becky Heheh, you know when you set you target audience a bit too narrow? Joanna I'm looking forward to the one where the obviously real DAB radio insists she's actually a tranny.... Jessica I take it you weren't in work today Becky That? Lunchtime job! It's hardly rocket surgery. :-) Connie Cox Perhaps the next one should have a CD.....player? :-) Ian Betteridge heh heh! Next Transpocalyse, you should do a video of this in the style of the Apple ads. It'll be BRILLIANT!!!! sim *Grins Miss K BRAVO!! Mr.Troglodyte He he :) Charlee Brown Fantastic :) And I so like the idea of adding the CD player, maybe it should be a real "player" you know, like an idiot that sleeps around? Siobhan Curran I also ... buffering ... like the ... buffering ... idea of adding a ... buffering ... Real Player :-) Love it :) Jane Could call it Stalkr. Jane :D xxxx ((((bex))) jessica_sweet_tv So that way other people can see whats going on on my flickr thingie. Thats spying Steph Angel And now I know who to blame for breaking flickr ;-) Siobhan Curran Another (potentially easier) way to find someone's @N00 id, is to check the url of their buddyicon (if they have one, that is ;-) Kat Who? Valerie S Personally I don't give a shite but it's not fair. It's not fair for the girls who got their features drawn with an axe , don't own a proper wig and don't know how to do makeup, and are still trying so hard and post their real pictures. Trying to get some acceptance and validating their appearance against the others. It's just not fair to post fake images and collect all the credit for free in a world where you have to work hard to earn it. Freiya It's important because when someone does this and pretends that they're someone they're not it just confirms everyones sterotypes that the whole tg spectrum is full of deluded headcases. It doesn't make any of us look good, ts,tv, whatever, it makes us all look stupid and like we live in some sort of pathetic dream world. How can we change peoples pre conceptions about what being tg is like when all they see is this? Joanna You already know my thoughts on this one. I'm 95% convinced they are fake pics. But it is going to be hard to prove. Emily S I've just been working on some pics my FFS surgeon has given me with an idea of how I would look after FFS. Even posting those as me would be deceitful and you know what? Even in those pictures, I can see male features. This is going to cost me silly money and I will never look as good as a natal woman. Becky @Kat: That's incredible! Magpie Things like this really irritate me as well. All it's doing is to try to give the person posting the pictures a cheap thrill, and all it does is set up unrealistic goals for other people. This is the same reason I detest all the pictures that appear in magazines, the people that the pictures are aimed towards are never going to look that good, so all it does is lower people's self worth/opinion. Jane Exactly my thoughts Magpie. Lying like this sets up unrealistic expectations which is a heartless thing to do. Nikki As a postop TS woman myself with extensive experience of FFS and the differences between natal and ts wome - it is a perverse hobby of mine to know the difference - I wonder if you could post a link to the offending pictures please. Steph Angel OK... I'll own up, it's a fair cop...All those pics on my Flickr account are of a drop dead gorgeous super model I met on holiday a few years ago... Sorry folks ;-) Isobel No Adam's apple, no brow ridges, no square back to the jaw, a shallow jawline, small hands, narrow shoulders, those eyebrows... Joanna Another thing about this person's pictures is that there are none of the classic tranny shots Rachel There's always one, isn't there? Becky I didn't really want to dredge all that up again Rachel, you've got your own opinion on it and that's fine. I still stand by my actions that day and I'd do it the same again if it happened tomorrow. It might have been the "kinder course", but it was the right course. I've written a special application in Visual Basic that detects fake tranny pics. It was originally designed to tell the sex of cats, but then someone explained an easier way that doesn't need a computer. Becky @Nikki and Anonymous: I'm not going to give out the URL on here. If you're active on Flickr it's fairly easy to work it out for yourself who I'm talking about. If it's not... them maybe I'm wrong! :-) VB-W It's a case of someone who disagrees with the whole matter and is trying to make the genuine ones feel inadequate. Siobhan Curran > "Another thing about this person's pictures is that there are none of the classic tranny shots Becky "because how can you turn compliments directed at a fake you into self-praise?" Becky "Without wanting to add too much to this discussion, I'd hate to see us using grounds like that for suspicion ;-) Especially considering the whole "stereotyping" discussions that have gone on recently." becca (I've been clicking on too many things at once, so this may already be posted...) jessica_sweet_tv I agree, it is bad for someone to post fake pics. Stephanie Delacey It's important because for me, and I'm sure for many others, posting pictures online is part of a process of self-acceptance. If other people are posting fakes pictures it just makes us look cheap and our efforts to come out rather pointless. Becky LOL, any trawl through the tranny groups will make you feel dirty, Steph. And don't pretend you don't enjoy it. ;-) Kath Adams you know I'm not deliberately contentious when I post on here don't you?? OK, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I was born male and I don't like it. When I dress it is to deceive the world into viewing me as female. I'm trying to fool people into thinking I'm something I'm not. OK, I'm not very good at it, but that isn't really the point, my dressing is about deception. If a natal woman really wanted to present herself to the world as a post-op MTF, how would that be different from what I do? She was born one thing and wanted to be somethng else. I find it hard to believe that anyone would want to do that but hey, there are lots of wierdos out there! Siobhan Curran > "If a natal woman really wanted to present herself to the world as a post-op MTF, how would that be different from what I do?" Miss K > the lie that is central to all of this. Becky, Isobel said, "dissenting comments are edited out from her photostream", so she must be reading them. Have you thought of posting a "We're talking about you here" comment, with a link to this discussion? Becky I'll think about it Alli'. At the moment I'm waiting for a reply to an email. Connie Cox Perhaps I don't have "her" as a contact. Who is it? Isobel Well, a certain someone is now no longer active on Flickr... Becky Yep, looks like that's the answer to the email I sent him/her. Doh! Have I completely missed the point of this Siobhan? I'll re-read this thread and this time I'll look at the words. Seriously though, if I could pass as a genetic woman, that would be the greatest thing in my life, but it would be a deception. Who am I to judge others who are deceiving people. In the 1960's the gay playwright Joe Orton and his partner took books out of their local library and altered them, changing the content and dust jackets. What they did would now be considered to be art in the manner of Banksy and others. what is the line between a prank that illuminates an otherwise hidden part of our culture, and an offensive lie? Stephanie Delacey Yes, Penny, you have completely missed the point. Your introduction of Joe Orton is irrelevant. What we are talking about here are the tranny groups on flickr and in that context I think we have every right to expect that the pictures posted there are of trannies. Otherwise, why bother? Whether or not some of the photos are good enough to deceive anyone is neither here nor there. The person being discussed in this thread was not engaged in some art prank or making an illuminating cultural intervention or raising interesting questions about identity and deception. He was simply some sad and cowardly bloke putting up pictures of somebody else and pretending they are of him. In the context of flickr tranny groups that's pretty insulting and rather pathetic. Ouch, Stephanie!Level 3 - HeatwaveForget your DEFCON's, it's hot. Anyone fancy a Solero?
The probability of heatwave conditions in parts of England and Wales between 0900 on Tuesday and 1500 on Friday is 100%
Siobhan Curran Aw crap. Selina Anyone fancy a Solero? Jane Yes please I'll have a tropical fruit one. Billy "The probability of heatwave conditions in parts of England and Wales between 0900 on Tuesday and 1500 on Friday is 100%" Ah, that explains it. I thought my skin was leaking! Kath Adams A bikini and a beer belly is a really bad mix! Ah, it's too hot for a bikini anyway, I'll just have another Stella! we are over 100 degrees also, first time since 2001, and its hot oopsy , i didnt want to be annyoomous Aw C'mon, 15 solid days over 90F in '76, absolutely no air-con anywhere, Austin Allegro's, Birds Eye Fish Fingers for tea, Solero? pah! Walls Faces, Jane Becky where is my Solero? It's been about 8 hours now and I've still not had it. Joanna I'm guessing it would have melted by now Jane. VB-W So the health service actually pays someone to stare at a temperature gauge all day and send emails (telling everyone what they already know) when it reaches certain levels. Cathii Scott Victius in Australia during summer on building sites the unions have reps with a thermometer and they get paid to watch it all day. When the temperature reaches 100°F they shut the site down, everyone goes home and gets paid for the full day. Builders love Feburary! Siobhan Curran > "So the health service actually pays someone to [...] send emails (telling everyone what they already know)" Joanna Which has just made me realise - what are Levels 1 and 2 then? Slightly Nippy and OOh its a bit warm? Stegbeetle I've done my bit. I love disproportionate responses! Jane Done my bit as well Zaida Angel In an hideous case of irony, i could only get my (web)cam to work until today, 18. So, i was unable to contribute :(
I have a love-hate relationship with fresh basil. You know, the kind that comes in it's own little plant pot. I see it on the shelf in Tescos and think "mmmm, basil, great for pizzas and pasta and stuff."
So I buy it, take it home, snip a few bits off for my tea, and watch it die.
I am the Dr. Harold Shipman of herb care.
Except this one. I was going away for a long weekend, so as an experiment I stuck the pot in half a sinkful of water, thinking it would probably drown.
But it thrived. So I keep it constantly in a big bowl of water and it loves it. It's even survived several prunings for various pasta dishes.
You're probably saying "yeah Becky, that's how you keep basil, everyone knows that."
Actually you're probably saying "Worst. Blog. Post. Ever."
Hell, I needed something to replace that last blog entry. :-)

Jane Don't forget to snip off the flower heads before they bloom, that will keep it going for longer as well. Joanna We have a little herb patch in the corner of our garden, planted a few of these. Mint, Basil etc .. Only plants I dont seem to kill :-) Siobhan Curran Anyone any good with parsley? I planted some in the yard and all it's done is grow really long stems with flowers on them. Miss K This is actually a very good blog post - I always wondered how to keep the buggers alive. Steph Angel Basic rule for most herbs is... Give them bucket fulls of water & (importantly) pick them on a regular basis, it encourages more growth. Most definitely herbs are worth your time. Basil, oregano, and especially rosemary are soo much better fresh. Just give them buckets of water. They don't like this southern US heat too well.... thribble I love you soooo much. I've killed masses of the stuff since coming to Oz, and leaving my herb garden behind. Having moved to a 1st floor flat, herb garden isn't an option - it's just a graveyard! Off to buy more basil and a bucket. Was the Basil Faulty??? Isobel Basil can be a very vain and greedy plant: it loves full exposure (to the sun),it drinks a lot, and really likes being fed. Pete Johns Thribble's right, we have pots of dead basil on our balcony. It usually dies shortly after I put a bit in the ratatouille! Alan Titchmarsh Stuff the gardening, can we have more tranny related posts please :D Charlee Brown Took me ages to get a basil plant to live. My Mother, who really doesn't have green fingers, revived mine by mistake by it falling in the sink. So that's how I learnt that lesson. Sirena I hear Basil was a Siberian hamster. Kat Lazy racism? Clarissa Essex born and bred myself and I get annoyed everytime anyone not from around here starts joking about the place even though I tend to make disparaging comments about it myself. Miss K Like Alan Partridge said, "you don't like outsiders, do you? You like to stick to your own. I've seen the big-eared boys on farms. If you see a lovely field with a family having a picnic, and there's a nice pond in it, you fill in the pond with concrete, you plough the family into the field, you blow up a tree, and use the leaves to make a dress for your wife, who's also your brother!" Jane Don't about King's Lynn but the bit of East Anglia I live in is backwards we didn't get supermarkets that opened on Sundays or Bank Holidays until the very late 90's and we are still waiting for other signs of progress like decent coffee and WiFi Calm down, Kat, calm down! [Hmmm, guess my accent doesn't really come across in print!] Siobhan Curran Yeah yeah yeah. You try being Irish, to be sure Abby I know what you mean. I think it's called prejudice rather than racism. Easy stereotypes, people shooting fish in a barrel for the sake of a cheap laugh, are totally annoying. If people are going to insult each other they should at least be original! Sandie Dee I reckon the celts get it worse, what with the tight Scots and the dim Irish... and that's before we mention the EBC's Londoncentric weather map and great British sportspeople like David Coulthard while they're winning but Scots as soon as they lose etc etc etc. Mind you, it's not one way traffic, my better half is English living in Scotland and she has to suffer the bigots up here :-( Beki You should try being from Kent, it's great!!! I never understood the Norfolk bashing thing - lovely place. Tiffany Try being an American amongst a lot of Europeans... Isobel Don't say that I'm clevererer than you until you've met me, Becky. ;o) Joanna Essex here, but doing missionary work in Kent. Suffolk softy I don't think the good people of Norfolk constitute a race, tis regionalism I think. There's a lot of it about. The thing is though, can so-called humour avoid being cruel? Isn't a lot of humour based on another's grievance? Anyways, think of the late Phil Lynot - an illegitimate, black, irish catholic - there's always someone more vulnerable than yourself. Kath Adams But, but... but... sim Miss K , please don't start on the Alan Partridge. Becky Oooh, lots of comments. Pandora Caitiff Sandie - but we're Celts here in Norfolk too! We come from Boudicca of the Iceni tribe. Jane "So once you get over your PMT," Karol Cross "even the Irish"? Isobel I read a reference to a Victorian book, where the Old Norfolk type of appearance was decribed: not particularly tall, tanned, dark hair, dark eyes, etc. The author then went on to say that this was typical of the Tuatha de Danann, who still resided in the county! Siobhan Curran You know, I'm not really Irish (depending on your definition - I was born there, but my family are Lancastrian), but I do know who the Tuatha de Danann are :-) Kath Adams Absolutely Jane, the comment was made quite deliberately, women aren’t allowed to be angry and if they are it’s due to their hormones! I was trying to demonstrate my point by using another wild stereotype. I thought it was, but then I'm a thieving scouse scrounger with a moustache and curly perm (not a good look when combined with a frock!) Miss K Notice how I was being quietly inscrutable during this whole discussion? Japanese, me :) Siobhan Curran > "And come on, a transvestites anger being dismissed due to her being pre-menstrual is a teeny bit funny isn't it??? " Cathii Scott Only when it's said by a woman Siobhan Curran Because of the focus of the intended humour. Whenever a joke is made, there's usually someone at the receiving end of it - the difference between chuckles and offence is all based on the context of the situation. Becky Is it wrong to let a conversation go on on your blog and heve very little to do with it? :-) VB-W It's not just Norfolk. The Brits hate everybody and everything not in their own area. They are the most negative, unambitious race ever to be placed on this planet. If ever the world needed an enema, Britain is the place to get the pipe. Cathii Scott Siobhan - Knowing the subject of the humour is one thing (like you know Becky and would obviously be making a joke about hating her) However if the target of your humour is unknown to you then it makes no difference what your sex/race/sexual status is.

Siobhan Curran I say Edinburgh :-) Joggerblogger I say Manchester as we'll be at the airport on the way home :-D Clarissa Does the departure lounge at Manchester Airport have the facilities to cater for a bunch of TGs and hangers-on? ;-) Joanna Have put in my diary. Stephanie Rowe if I can I'll go. also think you should have it in manchester. Kat Sydney. Kris I say London. Just because everything happens there, it's no reason to not have everything happen there. Jane Sheffield. The Owls are playing Leicester at home that day I could go to the match. Valerie S Surely you or Siobhan can work out an algorithm to calculate the geographical centerpoint based on participants' location weighed on their hit rate (and statistical quality of posts?) Most convenient, not? Sandie Dee Edinburgh's good ;-)) Joanna Surely you or Siobhan can work out an algorithm to calculate the geographical centerpoint Becky LOL, I'd worked it out to be somewhere just of the coast of western Ireland. ;-) Pandora Caitiff Norwich! (Because I'm a lazy cow!) Freiya Brighton! ok , so i have a vested interest in that it's where i am but it is also like the transgender epicentre of the Uk :) Siobhan Curran > "based on participants' location weighed on their hit rate (and statistical quality of posts?" Joanna So Lancaster then. Excellent Clarissa Finally - a way to empty the EU wine lake ;-) Siobhan Curran Wherever we go, we'll need more wine Sarah F. Hi Becky, jessica_sweet_tv One of my first blog comments where something like "I love the color and images, on your blog, Keep up the good work. Tools" with a little link on "Tools", I was happy to receive a comment from someone nicknamed "Tools", just to realize it was a link to a machinery store :( Jessica The spammers set up porn and warez sites where people have to type in captchas, they take the captchas from whatever system they want to spam and pass them back to these unwitting horny captcha monkeys that gladly type in the solutions, in their thousands. I hate spam and spammers as much as the next person but you can't help thinking there are some real geniuses out there Miss K I also use IP blocks using .htaccess as well as the pseudo captcha but there's one spammer now who seems to be able to get by this. Steven I read about a good anti-spam for WordPress: Hashcash. It's javascript based, you should be able to extract the code from the wordpress package relatively easily. Basically it does some client side hashing, since robots can't do that (so far), it works pretty well. Joanna Which is all well and good.. but will you buggers please visit my site and buy some Viagra? Karol Cross I had a similar experiance a few months ago. I was gob smacked to find a spam message in my guest book. I've written the guestbook myself in asp and it was the shock that someone was targeting my low profile site which I found a bit creepy. Sarah F. Sound like time for hamster authentication. sanane hi Jane The Cybermen being heavier than Daleks got sucked in first. Jessica and how do 3D glasses let you see void stuff? Joanna And the portal to the void was open for what? 5 Minutes? Can a Cyberman really have got there from the Taj Mahal in that time? I reckon they're still there.... ... and what about all those who were changed into Cybermen. They didn't have any of that void stuff? There'll be thousands all over the place. Kate Weston I can shed some light on at least one of these quandrys. Connie Cox And why didn't the Tardis get sucked in? Becky Now you're all just getting picky. ;-) Sorrt to say but you were all sucked into a paralle universe where cath tate is the ruler. after my heroic efforts i managed to revese the wrm hole that you were all sucked into but not before you were subjected to the horrers within. Sarah F. Maybe 3D glasses let you see Dr. Who in 3D though. Did anyone record it and test if those sequences were in stereo ? Sirena I haven't seen that new episode yet, so I can't commment. It's on my hard drive, but I'm catching up on The 4400 and The Daily Show. I love BitTorrent. It keeps us updated on Doctor Who. Eccleston is great, but he's so...last season. That's what they're showing here on SciFi Channel. :) Freiya ba-dom ( which is of course the sound of a comedy drum roll ) ;) Pete Johns 169... hannaviolane cant tell bex as we cant see you!....168 Pandora Caitiff I wish I hadn't checked the credits to see who played the bride... If Catherine Tate makes a regular appearance in Doctor Who, I'll stop watching it.:( How does she escape the Programme Commissioners? Ergh! Kath Adams First off, am I the only trannie who doesn't watch Dr Who? Becky I had to Google that one myself Kath! Siobhan Curran Ah, dental dams - takes me back to my old student days... There I was, holding back the tears, lump in my throat as Billie bails, sobs and acts in her parting scene with the Doctor (comment in Time Out: "I liked Dr. Who better when Billie didn't try to act") and Wifey was saying "she shouldn't have worn that much mascara, look at it streaming down her face" (thanks Wifey for taking the edge off an emotional scene), when all of a sudden I saw the bride and thought "hello, she's a bit of alright; lovely blue eyes, nice hair, great skin" when it dawned on me that I was watching Catherine Tate. I'm one of those who thinks her finest moment was speaking French in "Big Train" when she met "something else".Labels: transvestism
Miss K Actually, Jay looks kinda hot recreating the TSOTL scene in that Clerks 2 trailer...
Becky T I like that last one a lot. Plutos el hombre de las burbujas Si, me gusta todas las comicas Thank you very much, Becky ^___^ Connie Cox The last one is wonderful. Freiya i like these alot, the first one made me smile :) Pandora Caitiff Cool. I like the computer one best, but they are all great."Experience the butterfly effect for yourself, by fluttering with our tropical butterflies through Butterfly Paradise, as they create their very own symphony with just a flap of their wings."Okay, so that bit's kinda gay. :-)
Joanna Surely they could have worked in a beaver joke or something? April Angell an Ad in the classifieds section doesn't count, darling. Siobhan Curran I also got a mention too this morning. They said I was awesome. It was in the, um, Awesome, er, Awesome Computer Review, uh, Weekly, Journal No picture of the ad? you should put one in! Joanna Congrats! Was that in BackBytes then? Becky No "Downtime", I think "Backbytes" is IT Weekly. It was only a letter I wrote to them that got featured, was just a surprise to see my name jump out at me when I glanced past the Dilbert cartoon! Isn't Backbytes in Computing? Dunno because Dilbert and the funnies are the only things that get read in those mags (with the exception of erudite and intelligent tranny letters, obviously!) Siobhan Curran *pah* All these computer magazines. I only used to read MacUser, until that nice Editor guy decided to move on Zaida Angel Excuse me. Siobhan Curran Oh that's just typical Becky. We do all the hard work and deduce who they are, and you post up a list claiming all the credit for it. Sheesh Becky LOL, I kept it that size to be aesthetically pleasing. ;-)
OK... As the token French-living tranny, I'm totally out of it, but 13 HAS to be Siobhan!!!! Miss K Haha. I'm really touched! Both times! Kxx I'll have to guess along with Emily here, but are 1 and 2 you and Jane? Siobhan Curran 9 is April wearing my dress. fairly-odd Well, 8 is Kat Sydney... Valerie S 12 cannot be missed: Michaela "don't you know who I am?" Marbella. Clarissa I wasn't going to mention 12 as it was far too obvious ;) Natalie 1 & 2 have to be you and Jane. 3 is Miss K, and 13 is Siobhan in her GIANT dress. Siobhan Curran Let's recap shall we? 7 - Gillian, I do believe. Jessica aww, no me? :( Rachel Are you no.4, Jessica? Miss K I think the moral here is: "wear elbow length cashmere wrist warmers for maximum recognisability" Joanna 4 is Valerie I think... Siobhan Curran Jo, definately Valerie :-) Thank you! Becky Heheh, you posted that last comment just as I was writing the post to put you out of your misery, Siobhan. Connie Cox OMG we are so flattered. Very very cool! Becky Apologies for the micro-blog. I just wanted to get in before Siobhan and Miss K. :-) Magpie I thought you might have something to say about that ;) Jane It was epic. Billy Wasn't it great? Can't wait for next week. Clarissa I'd heard a rumour but didn't want to believe it. Roll on next week! Daisy Breaking news (or old news for the really geeky Dr Who fans). I was in Cardiff city centre today shopping with my wife and being spoiled rotten (it my birthday) and we came agross a TV film crew (who had been spotted one street awaynfrom my house yesterday) filming a Dr Who spin off called "Torchwood". Can't wait for that, as when next weeks episode is over I won't know what to do with my Saturday nights. Siobhan Curran When did you post this? My aggregator says I got in hours before you :-P Becky About 5 mins after the end. :-P Siobhan Curran In that case, I win :-P Becky LOL. That explains why my posting is a much more reasoned critique. :-) Siobhan Curran I was too busy shaking with excitement and congratulating myself on my Barley reference to realise I'd written a complete pile of rubbish ;-) Connie Cox Enjoyed it apart from the Eastenders and Trisha stuff.

I would definately like to see more of them as you know cos I also snorted my tea over your lap top when I read this.
Je le dig.
Bwahahahahaha, love it!
I've been waiting a year for you to finish Askance Glance
(But I concur - more please!)
I would really like to see the tranny doing something funny too...
and a RSS feed is an very good idea, and once a week if at all possible, and i would like fries with that too.
Bravo!
author, author!
Becky bites ya leg!
more please
There's your positive feedback, now get writing dammit!
It's so nice to get such unsolicited praise.
;-)
Think I need to nip into Currys and ask about the HD curious tv's :-)
...and if its praise you covet,
Well if you were a puppy we would all rub your belly.
Then again, a lot of your poems are shit, so who are you to judge?
I'm sure you can keep going for a bit longer!??
And funny is better than contentious! ;-)
I think it depends on which facsia they have... no... the size of the aerial... no... this is harder than it looks!
Once a month maybe?
I actually saw one of those TV's once (can't remember where; a 'junk shop' maybe) and thought it a wonderful piece of kit. I love it when someone designs the 'thingy of the future' and you look at it, a decade or two later, and think, "Nope - but it bloody-well should have been!"
