JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

AWARD THINGY



Not so long ago, fellow Blogger Fancy in Sweden very kindly gave me the above award. To quote her, she said I was "not ordinary and you are not boring and you live in a strange place called Abu Dhabi." Hmmmm, well with a bit of self-analysis here, to be ordinary is to be sane & I cling to my insanity, even when I sleep. And yes, Abu Dhabi is a strange place............if I didn't have my insanity, I don't think I'd be here. Fancy says I make her smile & laugh.........well darlin', that gives me the greatest of pleasure! (I never paid her to say this...........honestly!) Anyway, getting back to the Award Thingy, I now will pass the flame on to 5 of my favourite fellow Bloggers. Making the choice hasn't been easy, as there are so many wonderful folk out there in the Blogosphere, plus I had to wait for the money transfers to come through first y'know................

In no particular order, I send the Award Thingy to:



Electro-Kevin Typically British (we all have our problems, never mind luv) our Kev is married with kids, is a hard working bloke & BGB (Bloody Good Blogger). He's not afraid to say his bit on the state of the YooKay, has a wonderful sense of humour & is waiting for the day when the Yoonian Jack changes to Burberry colours innit. Well worth a read.



Hangar Queen I've read the whole of Devin's blog. What she has done has taken insurmountable courage, strength & determination. Born a man in Ireland, Devin is now a woman, living in America. Some may arch their eyebrows & think a transgendered person is a freak - well let me tell y'all, read Dev's blog & find out for yourself that it simply ain't the case.



Life In The Pub John Greenwood is an incorrigible lunatic in a wheelchair, who tells incredibly sick/lame jokes & spends his time ordering his dear old dad about in the garden, whilst he props up the bar in his local pub, the Merrie Monk. The antics of the usual crowd & payback from Di the barmaid are priceless!



Kaya My very special hormonally challenged friend here in the Sandbox! What this woman puts up with is enough to make me want to take her out & get her plastered, but then I'd end up on the Taliban's hit list. She's sharp, she's funny, she's got attitude & she's got a heart with an infinite capacity.



Fingers - The Whine Guide I think by now, Fingers has registered the trademark of being an Utter Cnut. He's so fuckin sharp he rips himself & others to shreds, especially in his 'comments'. If you're into sado-masochism & enjoy typically Antipodean humour, then Fingers is your man.



I know I'm s'posed to list 5, but I've added a P.S. List, starting with samuraisam. He's still a young 'un, living here in the UAE, but ye gads this lad is clued up. He pisses off individuals & companies alike, simply by telling the truth - not appreciated (especially by major corporations) here. M and J Adventures - nzm - spin a globe, stop it in an instant & I'll bet M&J have been there! I keep losing track of them. They left Dubai for Australia & Germany a coupla years ago. In between times they've been to places where most of us can only dream about. Stunning photography & info from all over the multiverse! Max The Man is relatively new to blogging & a smashing guy. He rides a Harley, plays the guitar & will (insh'allah) be throwing caution to the wind soon by getting married. I'm honoured to call him my friend. Keefie in Spain is one of the most helpful guys I've ever come across. A long term resident of the Sandpit (Dubai) Keefie packed his bucket & spade & set off for sunny Spain just over a year ago. He had a Plan & he's made it happen. I really admire him as he's successfully published a book & is a Terry Pratchett fan of note.


So, there you have it.............a list of very different people, from very different backgrounds, in very different parts of the world. I reckon that's what makes blogging so much fun hey? :-)
