Location: Somewhere in Romford, Essex. Occasion: Family party for Uncle P and Aunt K's Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary. Cast: Four generations of extended East End clan. Aunt K: So you ain’t married yet, then? Me: No, Aunt K. Still single. Aunt K: But you’re courting though, aren’t you? You’ve got a girlfriend, I mean. Me: Um…no, not at the moment, Aunt K, no. Aunt K: Oh, I see……(long pause -- then, slightly desperately)……So is it because you don’t meet many girls then? Me: No, not at all……(pause)……Thing is, there are so many pretty girls in Spain, it’s difficult to choose. You know what I mean? (broad wink) Aunt K: Ooh!! You’re playing the field! Oh well, why didn’t you say so? That’s the way, sunshine. You enjoy yourself. Nothing wrong with sowing your wild oats while you can. You had me worried for a moment there. Me: Really, Aunt K? Why was that then? Aunt K: Well, thanks for coming. Lovely to see you again. You be sure and bring one of your girlfriends next time, eh? Oh, look. It's Cousin J. See ya later, darlin'. |

| ||
4/21/2008 5:51 pm |
After reading this, I have this perfect song I wish I could send you LOL! Older relatives and their questions---I still get bugged about when I'm going to try for a daughter, sheesh. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.
| ||
4/21/2008 9:37 pm |
Oi, Happy Birdie, lad! From one full of bull Taurus to another. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary! Gee, congratulations to your uncle and aunt! What a lovely auntie you have, so considerate! Happy Happy Birthday, Gower! (from a third Taurus) *Hand him a large bowl of noodles* Agnes

Happy Birthday from a mother of a Taurus.....and let me tell you HE has been a handful.....come to think of it I can see why I like all you all so much...bunch a bully's....lol
| ||
4/22/2008 8:41 am |
You're a Taurus. I should have known. Also, I want to go bowling with your aunt. Cheers!
| ||
4/22/2008 8:45 am |
Hy GB Maybe your aunt is so comforted by her 60 years with uncle that she wishes you too could have the same. Happy Birthday GB from a 4th Taurus ! How does everyone but me know it's your birthday ? Mine is tomorrow. My first husband was a Taurus as is my older son. We get along great. Somewhat Narcissist of me but I love Tauruses.
| ||
4/22/2008 9:11 am |

oooo that is so true, but a lot worser(norfolk)with the girlfriends of your mates. west ham, hey, best team in the world apart from norwich I'm forever blowin' bubbles, mate. What do Norwich sing?
| ||
4/22/2008 9:15 am |
So so funny....don´t you just love your elder relatives....lol....West Ham...good team....but Arsenal...mucho bettero...hehehe.... They're a good family to have...they have their moments, but who doesn't?
| ||
4/22/2008 9:17 am |
Hey Hammers was me Dad's team, and home. Hu! No witch, and Bottoms. No contest. lol Tone. Do you mean to say they're not your team? West Ham's in the blood, mate. It's not a question of choice. My brother follows them and he was born in Wales, poor fella.
| ||
4/22/2008 9:21 am |
Uh... to clarify: so you're single then? I was going to add young and free as well, but I just turned 39 and "free" smacks of cheap...ah, well...two out of three ain't bad.
| ||
4/22/2008 9:22 am |
Gower... I wanna hold your hand... will you hold my hand
| ||
4/22/2008 9:24 am |
I think it is perhaps she is hoping your won't be bringing home a "boyfriend"! Lots of ladies here would be upset at that as well me thinks!... Promiscuity before homosexuality as far as the previous generation are concerned (unless it's homosexual promiscuity, of course).
| ||
4/22/2008 9:28 am |
Oh, and is cousin J. young and attractive ? What a smart auntie !(although there was that unfortunate incident at that family party in Ilford a few years back, but we don't like to talk about that). I think cousin John might have had something to say about it, too. She has her heart in the right place though, Aunt K, Gawd bless 'er.
| ||
4/22/2008 9:31 am |
Gawd so glad growing up in the childrens; home the Auntie didn't force me to kiss them on the cheek. At least it taught me to only kiss my kids on the hair on their head But then have my kids missed out on the whole family 'thing' Since coming to Spain I now kiss men too, and....ah....now that I think about it, this may be where Aunt K's concerns stem from.

PS Loved Tonebony's photo of you...heheheheeeee just wonder what happened to the new hair... Aunt K is the grand dame of the family now. A kind of Godmother figure. And I don't mean Fairy Godmother either. I'm plotting my revenge on Tone, and don't think you've escaped yet...I still remember the haiku hair challenge...... As for the hair, a boy can change his mind sometimes, can't he?

After reading this, I have this perfect song I wish I could send you LOL! Older relatives and their questions---I still get bugged about when I'm going to try for a daughter, sheesh. I've found the best way to stop aunts nudging you at weddings and baptisms and winking and saying "You next, eh?", is to do the same to them at funerals.
| ||
4/22/2008 9:40 am |
Oi, Happy Birdie, lad! From one full of bull Taurus to another. Thanks

Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary! Gee, congratulations to your uncle and aunt! What a lovely auntie you have, so considerate! Happy Happy Birthday, Gower! (from a third Taurus) *Hand him a large bowl of noodles* too many of them in the future...even if I got married tomorrow, the two of us would still have to be alive until I was nearly a hundred. Considerate...um...yeah...that's one word for Aunt K Thanks for the birthday noodles!

| ||
4/22/2008 9:52 am |
You're a Taurus. I should have known. Also, I want to go bowling with your aunt. You? Bowling? With my aunt? What are you going to do? Ask her for my hand in marriage? (I think that's enough questions for now)
| ||
4/22/2008 9:57 am |
Hy GB Maybe your aunt is so comforted by her 60 years with uncle that she wishes you too could have the same. Happy Birthday GB from a 4th Taurus ! How does everyone but me know it's your birthday ? Mine is tomorrow. My first husband was a Taurus as is my older son. We get along great. Somewhat Narcissist of me but I love Tauruses. All the boys in the family (especially those in London) are expected to be either courting or married at all times. Otherwise they are considered suspect. I've been considered suspect for some time now, but then, I grew up in Wales (bad), live abroad (odd), teach (daft) and am still single (alarm bells are now sounding). If I don't see you, happy birthday for tomorrow.
| ||
4/22/2008 10:58 am |
Why? Where are you taking me? When you can't beat em' with anything else beat em' with kindness
| ||
4/22/2008 11:41 am |
You too? Yay! *puts on imaginary birthday tuque and dances around*  Some say Aries goes to the 20th, some say to the 19th...I am way more like a Taurus than an Aries.I guess I still owe you a tuque huh. Much Love,CaptainPrincess
| ||
4/22/2008 11:51 am |
That was exactly it. Promiscuity before homosexuality as far as the previous generation are concerned (unless it's homosexual promiscuity, of course).
| ||
4/22/2008 11:56 am |
Ah, yeah, but I'm on the cusp of Aries (and it's bloody uncomfortable sometimes). A rammy b.s.'r....yeah that would be the best!
| ||
4/22/2008 3:00 pm |
You should? Why? Does it show? You? Bowling? With my aunt? What are you going to do? Ask her for my hand in marriage? (I think that's enough questions for now) And yes! Bowling alleys are some weird sort of half world where fun and/or strange people meet up. So it's not about the sport so much as the stories you can create or learn. Meaning: she'd spill all the Young GowerBoy tales you'd rather forget and probably work into the funnier and more current stories covering same topic. Cheers!

It's not the Gay Caballero again, is it? The irony would be too much. I've found the best way to stop aunts nudging you at weddings and baptisms and winking and saying "You next, eh?", is to do the same to them at funerals. I'm the only gay eskimo I'm the only one I know I'm the only gay eskimo In my tribe ♪ I go seal hunting with my best friend Tarka But all I want to do is get into his parka I'm the only gay eskimo in my tribe ♫ I'm probably the only person I know who sings lewd songs to people without being drunk first, too. I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.
| ||
4/23/2008 7:32 am |
Well.. where do you want to go??
| ||
4/23/2008 7:34 am |
yep, I was on the 20th, so I'm even closer on the cusp than you Some say Aries goes to the 20th, some say to the 19th...I am way more like a Taurus than an Aries.I guess I still owe you a tuque huh.
| ||
4/23/2008 7:35 am |
wild oats flung here and there....oooops....not there, not there....for godsakes not there...lol.... What if they sprout?
| ||
4/23/2008 7:49 am |
It shows, yes. That's how I should have known. I'm not psychic. And yes! Bowling alleys are some weird sort of half world where fun and/or strange people meet up. So it's not about the sport so much as the stories you can create or learn. Meaning: she'd spill all the Young GowerBoy tales you'd rather forget and probably work into the funnier and more current stories covering same topic. Anything my aunt might tell you would be lies...lies, I tell you!
| ||
4/23/2008 7:56 am |
It's actually the Gay Eskimo song I first sent Jake a few years back, some lines of which go-- I'm the only gay eskimo I'm the only one I know I'm the only gay eskimo In my tribe ♪ I go seal hunting with my best friend Tarka But all I want to do is get into his parka I'm the only gay eskimo in my tribe ♫ I'm probably the only person I know who sings lewd songs to people without being drunk first, too. for blubber (not rubber)...but I was never the only gay in the village a la Little Britain.
| ||
4/23/2008 3:01 pm |
Here, there and everywhere, of course.  When you can't beat em' with anything else beat em' with kindness

4/23/2008 3:22 pm |
LOL, at one time, when I was all of 21, my mum bugged me about settling down and having kids. I told her I was not interested and she nearly died from mortification. Until I explained I was not interested in marriage or kids but was OK with the shagging. She half-died. And then asked if I was gay. I looked at her and said, "Yes, mum ... very gay. Wanna meet my gf?" When she realised I was kidding, she never bugged me again. Bad idea. In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.
| ||
4/23/2008 5:26 pm |
I wonder how a beer would taste in the mail after that long... A tuque would still be fresh. You pick. lol I'm betting you would take your chances with the beer Much Love,CaptainPrincess
| ||
4/24/2008 6:40 am |
Well... that can be arranged.. I'll be in touch

Wanna meet my gf?" When she realised I was kidding, she never bugged me again. Bad idea. Christmas. On the phone to the rest of the family, they all asked my mum what "her" name was. An awkward silence generally followed the reply "Aaron". I don't think I've ever shaken off the inference. Fact is, he needed somewhere to stay that Christmas, and we've been good friends since then. He's got five kids now. I always accuse him of using up his quota and mine.

there has to be tuques! ...has to be. You're not even looking. Much Love,CaptainPrincess

be unique then...bring the tuque back over there. People will thank you! They are good for bad hair days. The tuque is the number one article of clothing a country loves to display it's logo on. Come to Canada, there's maple leaves on everyone's heads. Much Love,CaptainPrincess

Come to Canada, there's maple leaves on everyone's heads. Tuque-wearing may be a little too warm here for about nine months (or more) of the year. I always wonder why people wear their country's flag. Is it to remind them where they're from?
| ||
4/28/2008 6:42 am |
Now THAT is pure genius. I am certain that it's been thought of before, but I am totally chagrined and eating my own knuckles that it wasn't me. Love, LK
