BBC Pink Bias

Cross dressing and transexuality has dominated my BBC watching this month. I am sensing BBC bias towards pink things: We had the reportage of the lovely Mikki Nicholson winning the  Scrabble championship crown whilst wearing pink latex:
  and then on Radio 4 we are treated to biker and artist  Grayson Perry's frolics with his teddy Alan Measles and other antics on the Nurburging whilst riding a pink Kenilworth motorcycle:

  1. Very interesting. Over here October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so many, many things are pink. Including packages for food items in the grocery store. Wonder if there is a connection. But I have to ask, is there are red heart stitched onto Grayson's arse? I know, of all the things to focus on with that image I pic the arse... Interesting little crate he has set up for teddy.

    I suppose you are focussed on arse's. I still can't get that image of your tramp stamp out of my mind. You should post a photo sometime . . .

    Nikos: I love PINK. I recently purchased new PINK laces for my riding boots.

  3. Dear Nikos:

    Is it just me, or are things getting a little odd around here? And what is this British preoccupation with the word "arse?" A woman doesn't have a hot "arse." She has a hot "ass." And when I'm out cruising around in Key West, I'm not looking for a piece of "arse." I want a piece of ass.

    Kindly explain... And where are the pictures of the right-hand side of your K75RT's fairing. I'm tired of waiting.

    Fondest Regards,

    In real English, an Ass is similar to a donkey, or someone who makes a fool of him or herself.

    An arse is real English for the matter in hand; also endorsed by Kiwis and Australians :-)

  5. Lori - it's possible there is something stitched to Grayson's buttocks (Jack - please note that I could have gone transatalantic and called it a fanny but that is really rude over here).
    Bob = is that so, i would never have guessed it looking at your blog of late.
    Jack - think of it in Biblical terms: whilst Jesus may have ridden around Palestine on an ass, he was sitting on his arse.
    Geoff - thanks for the clarification - the time zones are obviously in your favour and you were able to jump in before me!

    Thanks for all the comments, N

  6. I think men pretending to be women are really horrible. When I go into the Ladies, I want to know that I can attend to the needs of my lady estate in private and with others of a similar ilk. I do not want to see some comic playing with his tummy banana.

    Kindly desist with such stuff, Mr Nikos.
    (And I don't like the word a**e either - In the King James Bible, it is 'bottom' - and should stay that way.)

    Your lavatorial sexual preferences are noted: I shall have a brief word with the under-editor to spice up the content in future posts.

    Would you settle for "buttocks"? "Bottom" has so many smutty school boyish connotations when translated into Serbo-Croat.
    I have a Balkan readership to consider.

    Best wishes, N
