You can tell that the standing Women's Institute speaker in the above photo is in fact me, mainly because she has a large gravy stain all down her front!
Today I know I have have "made it!"
My life is now complete!
I have given my first talk to an appreciative group of the Rhyl WI
I must admit everyone seemed to enjoy my brief lecture, and even the lady with the hearing aid seemed to keep up with me, though I am sure I babbled on a little quickly for her.
Perhaps they were being rather polite
as the talk subject
" a history of the gay hotspots of South Yorkshire"
could have been just a little racy for them !
anyhow

I am sure you were brilliant.
ReplyDeletewhat were you talking about blogging or your animals?
ReplyDeleteGill
no Gill
DeleteI was giving a talk on the gay hotspots of Yorkshire!
no seriously what were you talking about?
DeleteMe thinks he was advising on the proper way to play 'poisoned twister'. ;)
DeleteWhatever you spoke about would have kept the ladies enthralled, John. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be invited back ,I just know it.

How many Gay Spots in Yorkshire would there be? I think when I lived in Kitchener-Waterloo there had been maybeeee three? the one I had been to a few times. Lots of fun, and a little bit of bitchiness too I must say. xx
ReplyDeleteEARL (& visitors)I have lived in Yorkshire all my life and have never been aware of any "gay hotspots" but Lancashire has millions of them. Gill asked what you were really talking about at the Rhyl WI and I am still not sure. If I had been the guest speaker my subject would have been "How to Escape from Rhyl".
ReplyDeleteYour life is complete, John?
ReplyDeleteThink you are awfully easy to please. Aim higher!
'A history of gay hot-spots in South Yorkshire'? Mt life is now almost compleat upon hearing this news - well, the part of my life which involves animal-hoarders who are called upon to be expert witnesses in their own field, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteNext month: the Hot Gayspots in South Yorkshire! Bring those fans, ladies!
ReplyDeleteIF the lady with the hearing aid could hear you that is marvelous.. I know lots of people that have hearing aids and they have lots of problems hearing you..You must have the range tone that people that use these aids can hear you..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you are complete..I'm not surprised~!
ta ta for now from Iowa:)
I think you were giving them a talk on how to remove gravy stains
ReplyDeleteLove the hair and the stance, John!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that it must come as a surprise to YP that there are any gay venues in Yorkshire, hotspots or otherwise, but I see he has already demonstrated this above.
ReplyDeletewell said SP!!!!
Deleteyp.. NEXT TIME i am in sheffield I'll take you and Shirley somewhere INCREDIBLY gay!
I am banned from Manchester your earlship.
DeleteGlad to hear the talk went well, John. If you speak as well as you write, i'm sure they'll invite you back for plenty more chats.
ReplyDeleteOh well done you John. Would love to have been there to hear you speak. I would have riveted.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Now... would you consider giving us this talk as a vlog? Pretty please.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear you give a talk. I'm joining the WI just so I can sing Jerusalem !
ReplyDeleteHey ho, obviously a great success! A glittering future on the speaking circuit awaits! £200 an appearance, all those gay hotspot secrets, lol. Gravy stain on shirt an extra £50.
ReplyDeleteNow they have your number you will be invited to speak again, by all the other WI's within a 50 mile radius. Have your diary ready by the telephone. Any chance you will be in North Lincolnshire :o)
