Christmas 1987 [Pre-blog]



This Christmas I had this compilation of Paul McCartney's singles both with Wings and solo featuring Once Upon A Long Ago his new single that includes things like the We All Stand Together single not on lp and hits from 1971 through 1984. It holds over 73 minutes of music on a single disc.
This is the new ABC album that has a more soulful feel including the current hit When Smokey Sings and three remixes on this the cd version.

Finally this fun yearbook by my favourite music magazine, Smash Hits with all manner of stuff about the Stars..

Exploring gender [Pre-blog]

Earlier this month I write to the Beaumont Society to find out more what a transsexual is and how people that are deal with it, living their lives. The information pack I received is mind blowing outlining what the difference between cross-dressing and becoming the gender opposite to that on your birth certificate is, what hoops you need to go through to be considered for transitioning as it appears you have to do a trial period before getting the full go ahead as well as mundane stuff like how to change your name and dealing with unwanted body and facial hair.
It's rather obvious having read this several times that actually I'm trangendered, something that before I knew this word, I'd rather suspected.
