A couple I used to know in Burton On Trent used to run an online and telephone escort agency for men wanting to hook up with transsexual/pre ops .. I was round theirs one day and someone very famous in the UK phoned up because he wanted to hook up with his favourite date, a pre op called Kylie. I saw the celebrity's credit card details and everything .. he's still on TV almost every day but I'm not going to name him out of respect for his privacy .. he's someone almost everyone likes anyway.As some of you know, I am working in a call centre.
The company has about 1 million customer accounts in it's database.
Until today I had yet to work on an account of anyone I know, or anyone famous etc.
Today I happened to see not one but two names of people I know in the database, both old friends.
Okay, I'm not going to press you for the celeb's name - which kinda takes the fun out of it - but I get confused by transsexual terminology: was Kylie a biological male (a "shemale") or a biological female?A couple I used to know in Burton On Trent used to run an online and telephone escort agency for men wanting to hook up with transsexual/pre ops ..

It's nice to be reminded of how respectful and honest people can be in handling other people's social needs and personal information.A couple I used to know in Burton On Trent used to run an online and telephone escort agency for men wanting to hook up with transsexual/pre ops ..

Kylie was a biological male who was taking hormones to grow breasts and on the game so he could eventually afford the gender reassignment surgery to become a woman I was told. Some of them only took the hormones for 6 months a year because men would pay large amounts of money to sleep with them and they also had to plans to have the surgery. I was told one of 'the girls' did this and had bought a Swiss chalet with the earnings. The website (pre-op.com) was a safe place for everyone to meet up and my mate's wife was admin. She said what had been happening in the past was that these 'girls' had been leaving their business cards in the phone boxes in London, had been called for sex, turned up at someone's house and sadly instead been beaten up by groups of blokes. So the website was a vetting process.Okay, I'm not going to press you for the celeb's name - which kinda takes the fun out of it - but I get confused by transsexual terminology: was Kylie a biological male (a "shemale") or a biological female?

As I've been finding out. Trying to get a collar on her requires gardening gloves FFS... cross Jack Russell/Chihuahua ...
Do you want us all dead? That's a Jurassic Park level beast!
In our family a birthday cake gets three candles for past, present, and future no matter the age.
With the family gathered around for our last birthday, the candles were lit ready to sing Happy Birthday and all three candles went out at the same time in an instant.
We all joked about spirits in the room, then lit candles and “ stayed calm and carried on “.
That is adorable. A killer (of small things) but adorable.We recently got a little puppy - cross Jack Russell/Chihuahua (wife's choice!), called Pippi.
Pippi sleeps in my daughter's bedroom and gets fed basically as soon as we all wake up in the morning. Today, my son came in with me and my wife and we were all talking about a game on his tablet when I heard Pippi's food being poured into her plastic bowl in my daughter's room.
I got up a few minutes later and looked in. Puppy happy to see me, food in bowl, daughter fast asleep in her bed.
After I had a shower my daughter came down and asked if I'd fed Pippi, to which I replied, "No, you did. I heard you doing it." She looked baffled and denied it, saying she'd been asleep all morning. I didn't think much more of it although she was quite adamant she hadn't fed the dog (there's no one else in the house).
Then, when everyone left for the day and I was home alone with Pippi she was lying sleeping in her bed, covered right over by her blanket in the dining room. I went to the toilet and heard one of her little toys jangling, a green ring she likes us to throw for her with a bell in it. Came back out the toilet a minute later, green ring now right beside my chair, Pippi fast asleep and tucked under her blanket...
You can see her in the top photo as she is right now, still asleep. Then a couple of other photos of her being the boss.

Is it just me, or has the taste of marzipan changed?
I've just had a mini Battenberg cake and the other day I had a Bakewell slice. Both tasted just weird to me. They're not how I remember marzipan used to taste.
AFAIK, I haven't had the Covid, so my taste buds haven't changed.
Anybody else notice this?
Mr Kipling.Did you buy a cheaper brand, maybe? Though I don't know what they'd bulk out the almonds and sugar with as an alternative.
Mr Kipling.
Yes.He's usually so exceedingly good, too!
When the 'sugar tax' came in, a lot of companies reduced their sugar content, and i dont care what anyone says, low sugar products dont taste as good as full sugar versions.Yes.
I have also noticed a change in other products, too (e.g. Shloer). I wonder if the sugar content has been significantly reduced?
I do like a can of Dr. PepperFine by me, I don't like too-sweet food and drink, except in moderation (I couldn't drink cola every day, but I like a Dr Pepper once in a while). I do know Scots were up in arms when Irn Bru reduced their sugar content and were convinced it had ruined the taste. I didn't notice any difference, but I'm more coffee and fruit juice drinker.
