Keeping up with girls

A couple of weeks ago there were a number of stories in the media about a new musical – featuring choreography by Arlene Phillips – being built around the 1970s magazine for young teenage girls called Jackie. Some of you may remember it as a ‘feel good’ publication all about the latest [...]

Well, it’s the 21st Century after all …

We’re all products of our own age, or perhaps that should be ‘… of our own lives between the ages of 18 and 24’? I like to think that I’m a liberal (with a small ‘L’) sort of a guy who embraces the proposition that we should all be able to do exactly what we want, provided of course [...]

An out of town diversion

This week found me staying overnight in the vicinity of Oxford for a meet with a pair of girlfriends with whom I share dimming but fond memories of borrowing and yore (“Can I borrow your shoulder-wrap/blouse/brooch/high-heels/boyfriend …?). This gathering of the distaff clans inevitably [...]

Don’t shoot the messenger

Sassy rock singer Chrissie Hynde – she of Pretenders and sometime marriages to the Kinks’ Ray Davies and Jim Kerr of Simple Minds fame [and by the way I don’t care a fig that the sisterhood might seek to take me to task for defining her by her marriages to well-known men – I’m solely [...]

Coming to the point

Without doubt the world has always been obsessed with sex, probably because it has needed to be – why else would God or Nature have given every species (well, perhaps bar the panda if some zoologists are to be believed) such a strong desire to mate and perpetuate itself? I found myself [...]

Coming out of the woods with my hands up

There have been reports in the media this week detailing the findings of a YouGov poll on sexual preferences released last weekend – including the fact that almost a quarter of Brits (23%) would not regard themselves as exclusively heterosexual, a figure rising to 49% amongst those aged [...]

Getting to the nub of it

We love a good debate or discussion here at the Rust and therefore I make no apology for returning to the subject of women and sport, as most recently observed in cricket. Last week I blogged about the solitary Test match which, together with a mix of One Day Internationals and T20 games, comprise [...]
