Do I look gay?

My 4 year old daughter had her first school disco on Friday (24th). Just an hour from 6:30. She was a bit tired by the end and a little shy to start with but, apparently she had a nice time dancing with her Mum and friends in the end.

I couldn't go. I was out for drink with my boss as it was his last day before he left the firm to work elsewhere.

We started drinking in the bar at work but, that shuts around seven so we moved on the Jeremy Bentham pub. I waqs getting ready to leave around nine, when one of the gay guys from Finance (drunk) chose that moment to tweak my nipples and generally have a quick grope. He was only mucking about and it doesn't really bother me but over the years I've had a quite a few instances like this happen. Three so far this year.

First there was the Christmas meal where M made it quite clear what he'd like to do with me. Then a couple of days ago I went to Boots to buy a coke on the way home. The guy on the counter was clearly gay and as he handed my change back he cupped my hand with one of his hands whilst giving me the coins with his other and brushing my pam with his fingertips whilst giving me one of those smiles.

So why do I get this attenion? Do I look gay? Maybe I'm so straight that it pushes the buttons for certain gay men. Who knows? But I am straight so I know nothing will ever come of it and it's kind of flattering in a way. Although I wouldn't put up with the nipple tweaking if the tweaker wasn't so obviously drunk.

Funeral

My wife's paternal Grand-mother was laid to rest yesterday at Kent county crematorium.

My wife's Aunt J and cousin V came to stay at our house for the night. They drove up early from Devon and then followed us to Uncle D's house where the procession was to start from.

There were about twenty people in total and the service went quickly. Two hymns and a final song, 'Everything I Own' by Bread, then back to Uncle D's for tons of food and drink.

My wife's family has an average height of about 5-foot-4 and I'm 6-feet-4. Being one of the very few non-blood relatives there I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Echo

This came completely out of the blue this afternoon. I was stiing in the living room watching TV.

"Daddy," said my 4 year old daughter as she wandered into the room. "Mummy has a really big minnie, and it's got hair on it. Why does it have hair on it?"

Priceless, don't laugh. Where the hell did that come from her mum's in the kitchen not the bath?

"Well that's what happens when you grow up. When you get older and turn into a lady, you'll get hair too."

She pauses then looks at me with amused disbelief before shaking her head, "I don't think so."
