Lady Fairburn’s moles

This is for all the readers of Susan Brown’s wonderful Penmarris stories who somehow believe that Lady Fairburn’s problems with moles are, how can I say this, somewhat exaggerated.

If the link below works, you can hear that Baroness Bety Boothroyd, former speaker of the House of Commons has a similar problem.

I hope it works, it is quite entertaining

Perhaps one of the writers on this site could use something similar in one of their stories.

Cathyland the tour

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

A few days ago, I sent a word document to a friend to give her a smile and perhaps think about a tour of Portsmouth, where I live.

As all you merry band of followers of EAFOAB or ‘Bike’ or even The Daily Dormouse will know, this is where the story is based.

There is Dickensian London, Bronte Country and even Hardy’s Wessex. But we have a new addition; Cathyland.

Many thanks for Puddintane for all the help and advice in making the following possible, the errors are mine alone.

Chris Dale RIP

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I just thought I would pass on the link to the Daily Telegraph obituary for Chris Dale.
He was a 6ft 6in mountaineer, with a passion for solo climbs. He was also a cross-dresser who went by the name of Crystal.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/sport-obituaries/...

Now there is someone who led an extraordinary life. It’s a shame he died at only 49.

A very peculiar engagement

Having read this story, it would be very easy for me to get carried away with commenting on how ridiculous ‘his’ views are. To say:
"People who think they are a woman trapped in a male body are, in my opinion, completely deluded. I certainly was."
Here is the link:

I will limit my comment to reiterate an old saying ‘he took the dressing up too far’ I am certain others will leave more pertinent comments

Dormouse Assault Course

Author: 

Hello.

For all the followers of EAFOAB, I just thought you would like to know that one council is taking the dormouse situation seriously, no matter what the cost

Here’s the link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-11082007

Whilst I am glad it’s not on my council bill, I do hope the first dormouse to use it has undergone a council Health and Safety check.

There are times when we all would prefer not to be too noticeable when out in public. For all those who believe they are too tall to pass, don’t despair.

This young model is six foot eight inches tall, seven foot in her heels

200th Anniversary

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

On the 21st of May 1810 Charles-Genevieve Louis-Auguste-Andre-Timothee Deon de Beaumont died in London at the age of eighty-three.
Much has been written about the Chevalier d’Eon since that day. For anyone still unaware of this famous historical figure, please read the links below for a précis of an unusual life which also included diplomat, spy, Advocate, Captain of Dragoons, fencing master etc. Plus, we should remember that at one time, many of us would have been called an Eonist.

It is easy for us to read about such a figure without thinking about the person behind the story.

One way to get published.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

For all the writers on this site who want to get their books published and sold to the public, take heart.
The article in today’s Sunday Times shows one mans unorthodox approach to selling his books.

As Rupert Murdoch will shortly be charging for this news site, please read it for free whilst you can.

You never know it may work for you.

Dyslexia

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I appreciate this is ‘off topic’ as it were, but I was most surprised to read this article from AA Gill in today’s Sunday times, regarding his dyslexia. He is a perceptive writer whose work I have enjoyed for many a year.
Perhaps some of you here suffer from dyslexia or know someone who does, so please take a few minutes to read what it says, many of us can empathise with the youngsters he meets as well as his own experience.

A TG Assassin?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hello

After reading the somewhat bizarre story about the alleged assassins who killed a hamas leader in Dubai, my ‘tg radar’ started to twitch.
Far be it for me to cast aspersions but I have doubts over the photograph showing the Irish ‘woman’ Gail Follard
Have I been reading too much TG fiction? take a look at the link and see for yourself

For all of you who thought that cats were just pets, the truth has emerged. It seems they prefer owners to have a University Degree. :-)

Does this explain why many writers here have cats?

One of the poems was entitled ‘From Mrs Tiresias’ it begins with

He went out for his walk a man And came home a female.

A Good Question

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

On Thursday I was sitting with my friend Anne in a pub drinking a milky coffee, Anyway, after we had managed to catch up on what we had being doing over the past two weeks since we last met, the subject changed to what we were reading at the moment. I mentioned that I was just finishing off 'The Lost Continent' by Bill Bryson and was just going to start 'Labyrinth' by Kate Mosse. I admitted that I was sidetracked as usual by reading some stories from this site, when she asked me a good question.
"Why do you read TG fiction?"
