This is a couple of weeks behind the times, but I have just come across (oo-er, missus!) the following story from the local region's newspaper:
Crowborough sportsmen in cheeky fundraiser
I encourage all my regular readers to order a copy - I'm sure if you send an email to the chairman (their contact details are found at their website, Crowborough Rugby) and offer to pay the overseas postage in addition to the asking price, they'd be happy to send one to you! (At a rough guess, $18-$20 US ought to cover it)
I like it because it is also something that is out of the ordinary for men to do - that is, pose naked for the camera. Nudity, by its associations with sexuality, tends to be seen within the patriarchal framework as the preserve of the female form - especially when you're thinking of nude calendars. In the indoors picture featured in the newspaper (it's the second picture in the online version, you need to click to see it), I also love that one of the guys in the picture is wearing what looks like a little frilly "French maid" pinny as he serves the wine!

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
