Save Bryce

The weekend Bryce Faulkner went home to come out to his parent was not a good one.
After threats of disownment he managed to get one last phone call to his boyfirend before his phone, money and car were confiscated. WHere is he now?

Ex-gay therapy.

This vile, evil practice is so so awful. People are forced to pray away the gay.
Needless to say it is the hugest falacy imaginable, leaving people emotionally ravaged and with less self worth than when they started.

WIth no way of contacting the world outside the fundamentalist Exodus centre Bryce's boyfirend Travis is leading the campain tio help him.

But don't think this is some redneck American issue. Ex-gay centres are all over the world. Spreading hate and bile and telling people homosexuality is a disease with a cure.

Blush Factor 5

I just bent over in a meeting and split my shorts right up the mack seem with a noise not dissimilar to Giant Haystacks farting on a lilo.

I was left ever so slightly em-bare-arsed.

Meet The British

I watched the strangest programme on I-player last night.
A compliation of films intended to show case Britain abroad it was one of the most sereal thing I've seen for a good while.
Here are just some examples:

The Sky at Night

This is the sunset on my way home on Friday night.
Just as it was.

Yorkshire Tour

A few snaps from a few days in Yorkshire last month:

Oz for £10

If you’re under 30 and fancy living in Oz for a while – just get a working visa and queue up very early outside STA travel on 5 Aug for a £10 one way ticket.

Special £10 one-way fares to Australia are being made available to people holding working holiday visas.
STA Travel in association with Tourism Australia and Qantas will be making the fares available from 08.00 on August 5.
They will be on a first come first served basis at branches in Belfast, Glasgow, London Victoria, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Southampton.

The move sees the return of the so-called ‘£10 Pom’ – almost four decades after the last post-war travellers set sail for Australia under the government’s assisted passage scheme.
The new £10 tickets, released as part of STA Travel’s 30th anniversary, are limited to those holding a valid Working Holiday Visa.

Return flights are bookable through STA Travel at a special promotional rate from Qantas.
Travellers will be able to fly into one of five Australian cities – Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide – and can return any time they like.
This year has seen a 21% rise in the number of Australian Working Holiday Visas granted.

And STA Travel research shows that almost one in four (24%) of 18-34 years olds plan to travel in the next 18 months to get away from the stresses of Britain.
Tourism Australia regional general manager UK/Europe Rodney Harrex said: “The original £10 Pom assisted passage scheme resulted in a British fascination with the faraway land of Oz that has endured ever since and today over 35,000 young Brits travel on the Working Holiday Programme every year to live the Aussie lifestyle for themselves.
“The visa offers them the opportunity to travel all over Australia for an extended period of time, giving them the freedom to supplement their travel funds with incidental work.

“STA Travel’s £10 Pom promotion will further raise awareness of the WHV Programme, at a time when increasing numbers of young Brits are looking to head Down Under for a real Australian adventure.”

STA group managing director John Constable said: “In the current climate, everyone is looking for great value and it doesn’t come much better than Oz for just a tenner.

“We’re launching this incredible fare to celebrate our 30th birthday and give customers the chance to live and work in Australia for less than the price of a guide book.”
