Sunday Service 2

Eleven blogs I've liked and learned from this past week...

1. Huntington's Disease runs in families. Here's how it feels when your mum has it and you have to discover whether you are going to have it one day too.

2. The dress codes of bisexual women are more complex than I thought - more complex than some of them thought too, it seems.

3. Temperama visitor and Hackney blogger Noosa Lee is beastly about Boris. Shame!

4. I've waited the best part of forty years to find someone who remembers a cheesy daytime TV show hosted by Fred Trueman which he concluded with the catchphrase "Ah'll see thee..." Thank you, thank you Jesus and Clive Davis.

5. Tesco are hexed by a Blue Witch. Now I feel virtuous for switching to Waitrose rather than just deeply bourgeois.

6. All the way from the Midwest, let's hear it for Doctor Crazy!

"I actually blushed while on the elliptical at the gym today because there was a guy aimed right at me (and I do mean aimed right at me) on an ab-related machine, and he was wearing those silky sort of work-out shorts (not short ones, so I didn't actually SEE anything in its naked glory) but he clearly was not wearing appropriate athletic undergarments (I'm not entirely sure what those would be for a gym workout, but whatever) because there was his, well, penis, poking right up at me, and once I saw it I couldn't stop looking at it. And that made me very uncomfortable because I didn't want people to see me looking at a guy's penis outline in his shorts. So please, guys who go to the gym, make sure the business down there isn't hanging out for Crazy to see. It's just not right."

Amen.

7. From Simon Barrow, a ticking off for the C of E over its attitude to faith school admissions policy: its own faith schools, that is.

8. Want to know why David Cameron should drop hints about tax cuts, even while insisting it's not policy? Find out here.

9. From Gay Erasmus, in Sydney:

"When I first heard last week that my dad had collapsed and been taken to hospital, my mind went into a spin."

It's brave and generous. Read it all.

10. Andrew Sullivan and one of his readers pay tribute to the forgiveness of the Amish.

And finally...

11. How James Higham nearly died.

Now give thanks, the lot of you.

Short hair and shoes one can walk in = gay.

Long hair and heels = not gay.

Looking good but declined the date = bisexual ( as in, she must be. . .)

I don't know who makes the rules, I only dress up by them.

Only half joking.

Thanks for spreading the word about T£sco :)

And thanks from me too Dave. Some interesting blogs you are reading there - not just mine! I especially liked numbers 8 and 9.

Re Littlebear's comment: I have long hair and wear shoes you can walk in (usually). Just not good at following the rules I guess.

Nice round-up and not just for obvious reasons - actually, it enables us to get round and see others. Keep it up!

Sue, your site had me laughing so hard I like to have snarfed my beverage.
