CHOTA

Yesterday was a very busy and long day. It started with me helping to set-up and operate an Amateur radio special event station. This one was GB1MSN at the Midsomer Norton Methodist church for the Churches on the Air event. Station was set-up Ok but radio conditions can only be described as, pants. The location of the church, being right down in the town also did not help and we only managed a couple of contacts. However, we had a very long chat with a local radio presenter and also some interest regarding Scout Jamboree on the Air (JOTA)

I can see your pants

You have probably all noticed that many young, and not so young people wear their trousers round their bums exposing their pants, and more. I always wondered why, and how they walked without falling over. A search on google brought up a couple of ideas, but that one that now makes me smile whenever I see the half mast brigade is this one.

In prison, men tended/tend to have sexual relations with each other since female companionship is lacking. One way men "showed interest" in relations was to sag their pants, letting other men know they were willing. So, basically, its root stems from a request for gay male sex in prison. Every time I see a man sagging, I burst out laughing. If they only knew.

The Return

Well, the time has come. I return to Bath on Sunday, the notices have gone up explaining to customers that the Park & Ride contract has transferred to another operator. They will now have a less frequent service which starts later and finishes earlier, and all this for an increase in fares. Still I have thoroughly enjoyed my few months at Hengrove and have been made to feel part of the team. So from Sunday I am back to having to work for my living!
