The Rise of Feminism
I’m going to come out with it. It’s not going to be popular, and Mumsnet users the world over are going to want my testicles as earings for saying it, but here goes. Femenism has gone too far. Femenists come in two varieties. The nice, moderate lipstick wearing ones who want true equality. And the […]
Who’s for Afternoon Tea? Or Coffee?
It’s an old English tradition to have afternoon tea, usually between a close group of friends who want to have a catch up, gossip and occasionally just skip the tea and move onto the Wine! The idea of Afternoon tea is it’s a snack, served between lunch and the evening meal. Hence the confusion between […]

It’s a Dog’s Life!
‘No, I don’t want a dog’ he said. Suddenly she’s now his ‘baby waby’! Seriously, when I said I’d foster a dog, my fella was apprehensive to say the least. Even calling her ‘Ba****d the Puppy’.

A 12-year-old boy has ‘come out’, excuse the pun and lifted the lid on what it’s really like to have same sex parents. And guess what, his experience is positive, like 99% of all adoptees, myself included. He was taken from his birth parents when he was only a toddler due to them neglecting him, […]
Class and Gender Always Seems to be an Issue
I’m writing this as a privileged, middle class, white male. So I do fall into a minority. However, there has been a backlash over a well-meaning campaign to find the UK’s best mother. The photo is an innocent enough, no different to photos you’ll see of a group of friends who’ve been for a photo […]
Taking Delivery of a New Pet
So my first foster dog fell through, firstly, he’s just too nervous, and secondly, he needs to live a solitary life, something I can’t afford him. However, there is a (not so little) 12 week old bundle of fluff hopefully bounding into our lives tomorrow. Now I’ve told people and they’re constantly asking the same […]
