One of the surprising joys of blogging has been getting feedback - people emailing directly or commenting when I see them. For example,
...someone said that they can hear my voice as they read it - the 'hearing voices' bit is slightly worrying but it was a nice bit of feedback...
...several people have commented to me on the entry about my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary (see 19th Dec) which has been lovely...
...the Valentine's Day entry has polarised people - some liked it but others thought I was really putting myself down. Definitely not what I was intending - it's interesting how differently people can read things. For the record I am aware I'm a handsome, smart, funny and fully housed trained man who, let's not deny it, possesses a raw Brando-esque sexuality - but being British one doesn't want to draw attention to the fact ;o)...
Anyway, back in the 'real' world I've also had some feedback on the pink shirt question (see 23rd Feb). So far those who've expressed a preference have all said I could carry it off, though I'm not sure I want to delve too deeply into their reasoning!
Someone recommended I try Boden - spookily only yesterday I received their catalogue as some junk mail. (Forget your flyers for the local pizza/kebab outlet - I live somewhere where you get a Boden catalogue - v. strange.) The options include;
The Handsome Buck Shirt - "This will appeal to the alpha male in you. We’ve added a little bit extra to the collar, buttoned it down, and created a shirt that will make you the stag among stags."
The Italian Stallion Shirt - "Now it has become clear that there is a little bit of Italian Stallion in every one of you, we have put even more effort into creating designs worthy of your social plans. I challenge anyone to resist you in any one of these gorgeous styles."
Not sure I'm ready to phone up and say "I'd like to buy 2 Italian Stallions and a pink Handsome Buck please."
