And this is sometimes funded by the NHS! (National Health Service - in the UK we all pay taxes for free healthcare)
ETA: I keep reading the article over and over again, and I feel sicker and sicker. What upsets me the most is that the writer of the article, who did not want to be converted to heterosexuality ,now questions his choices and motivations, even a few sessions with these people have had a profound affect on him.

Summary: A rift alarm gives the Torchwood Five a break from the monotony of a quiet week below Roald Dahl Plass.

ETA: Forgot to disclaim! I don't own Torchwood or it's characters, they belong to the BBC; I'm just borrowing them for fun, not profit, likewise with the song.

- Music:"As I Love You" by Dame Shirley Bassey from This Is My Life: The Greatest Hits
Regular viewers may remember back in July that I started to learn to drive after 20 years since applying for my provisional licence, you also shared the highs and lows of my Theory test and my two mock Practical Tests.
Well, at 10.14am on Tuesday 19th of January, I sat my “for real” Practical Test...

In my grand torchwood obsession, I stumbled across this. Anyone got any other information? Nice if we get some more GDL on the airwaves, such a lovely voice. Love those Welsh vowels.
ETA: The link is to someone's blog so I don't know how official it is. Like most TW related items, I won't believe it until I see the BBC press release.
I really need to find other things to trawl the internet for. Like BA branded vintage Sindys, or a website with air hostess outfits, or more importantly a new men's moisturiser, as Lorna informs me that Clinique is only for those under 25.

Just a quick one to the viewers at home wishing you all a fantastic New Year for 2010, and may it bring everything that you need, and hopefully everything that you want.
And from Scotland's national poet, Auld Lang Syne:
As much as I feel sorry for the poor 2,000 people trapped on stuck trains under the English Channel but my peeled brown shrimps for Xmas starters are stuck on one of those damn trains. What am I going to do? How can I make potted shrimps without the shrimps? ( The vast repast is under the cut... )

I have found the man I'm going to marry! ( He ain't no frog so no problem with the kissing! )
As you will no doubt be aware, the moustache has been growing over the week, and nature is taking it's course.
Here be the 'tache at the end of week one.
Hmmm, this was taken this morning by Himindoors on a better camera.
Report Card
- Complexion is good, a nice healthy glow, no sign of the double chin, remains of a nasty spot can be seen below the lip on the left.
- I've also included my very own button nose, courtesy of my dad's side of the family, I share my nose with my sister and some distant cousins, it's got it's own name.
- There has been some growth over the week, notably around the chin area, which is coming in nice and dark, but as you can see, the upper lip area looks a bit weak. This is due to a number of factors. Namely:
- There are sections where the hair doth not grow - at the ends of the lips mostly
- My beard grows in multicoloured, so there are blond hairs, red hairs, black hairs and brown hairs. My Dad's Dad was nicknamed "Red", for obvious reasons.
On the whole a good effort, but follicles must try harder. I may even resort to the mascara wand.
Viewers will have to wait until the end of week 2 to see how the upper lip is faring, but we don't need to worry about the Zapata droops.
Additionally, I was rather eccentrically dressed today. Picture me...
- tan shoes, kind of leather bowling style, Clarks outlet store in Bicester
- cream coloured trousers, sort of chinos but flat fronted, Uniqlo.
- blue checked shirt (as seen in 'tache pic), Hawes and Curtis
- navy blue cardi - merino wool from Uniqlo (bargain!)
- buff coloured jacket with a thin burgundy stripe, Full Circle bought at a Designer Warehouse Sale
- gold and blue patterned silk scarf worn as a cravat, belongs to Himindoors, found in a clearout of a bag of "stuff"
- grey trilby with claret and bronze patterned band, M&S (love their hats)
- mocha calfskin manbag, my luxe hobo bag, Longchamps - cost lots of money but I love it so!
- Iantopia - the current whereabouts of a certain Welshman.
- Angel or Daemon which is really well done - and kinda sexy. As the artist says "Not just a teaboy".
Below is a rather grainy pic of my beard and moustache free face for the start of my Movember tache. I will post weekly updates of how it's going for your delight and delectation.
See here for details of what I'm doing.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw red - literally! A small child with devil horns was peering through the glass. I jumped! and then answered the door.
"Trick or Treat!"
I have no sweets or anything in the house to give the kiddies - what a Scrooge!
And again, just as I started to type this, the door went again. "Trick or Treat!"
Needless to say, all the lights are now off in the front of the house. The only light on at the moment is the desk lamp next to the computer, which is low wattage.
Note to self: Halloween 2010 - go out, get sweets in or sit in darkness.
