- Well, I meant the riposite as a general factment of state. It's worth
- re-emphasizing that this is one Englishman (albeit one of a confused
- bloodline) who tries *very*hard* not to react like "the English", just
- like he avoids "most men's" behaviour. In a sudden flash of
- seriousness, I'd say that I'm going to California at least in part as
- another affirmation and exploration of my repudiation of my heritage.
- In other words, I'm going to let my hair down :-)
-
- Has this any relevance here? Well, for me, yes. I won't suggest that
- you have to be a cultural rebel to be bi (cf the delightfully dotty
- Nick, or the repulsively republican Log Cabin Club), but I will say that
- I would never have stepped over the line without going through the
- complete cultural re-evaluation I'm still working on.

- Ooh, come here and do that again :-) (Although not as hard as was done
- to a certain ex-vanilla friend of mine who showed me a complete set of
- dental records in hir left shoulder ...)

- nibbles
- Mike, the increasingly culturally amorphous, who's off to meet a muffin
- for lunch (!)
