To the Brothers/Brotherettes, I have a confession to make to you all. It has come to my attention that a couple of people have copped on to a certain part of my life that I have been trying to hide from the people here and I think it is finally time for me to come clean. I'm hoping that you will be able to show and open…

To the Brothers/Brotherettes,

I have a confession to make to you all. It has come to my attention that a couple of people have copped on to a certain part of my life that I have been trying to hide from the people here and I think it is finally time for me to come clean. I'm hoping that you will be able to show and open mind when I tell you this as I know some of you mightn't be able to look at me in the same way again so.......

*sigh* I use a man bag.:(

now I know some of you will be in shock and I don't know what to say but a few weeks ago I didn't have a choice as I had to use it for the purposes of bringing drink some where and I saw it's usefulness for this task and since then I have being using it for the purpose of carrying drink and it is great.
So I know I have let you all down but please forgive me.

P.S. no I'm not gay just in case you were wondering

I like the way you use the "I'm not gay" bit at the end as if it kind of makes it ok, well it doesn't tbh.

Its like saying you drive a Nissan Micra convertible, but it's ok, because it's black.

Your sexuality makes no difference, you carry a man bag, therefore you are a vegetarian hairdresser who reads Hello magazine.

Unfortunately I'm not surprised to hear you have a man purse... first salad, then a purse, what next? shaving your legs?

Just come out of the closet already 'man', half your foot is out, now make the next step.

Imagine the Brethren SWAT team. Des would be the cannon-fodder, he would take a bullet for the Brethren. Myself and trout would be the sharpshooters, taking them out from a distance with pin-point lethal force. Smashey, Slow Motion and Admiral would be the ones that kick the doors down and storm the building.

Sister Zaphora would be back at base making tea, fretting over who is going to tell PfB......

Sorry, did I drift off there?

Bags you say? Laptop bag is all I have or need.

If a man has more to carry than the pockets can manage or the hands can get around, a bag is acceptable, but it should be something like what I use imo. *see below
has hooks for shovels and everything! Proper man's bag, as opposed to the barely mentionable manbag... ewww!

It's the hooks for bone saws and other avalanche rescue kit that sometimes worries me!
Also can hold a platypus. (which is a drinks pouch, where the straw comes out of the strap) I will get one for this season to fill with beer!

ah yes but this was the whole point of the thread. I found out over the weekend that one of the brothers was going around at the Ladies Lounge beers on Friday telling people that I was actually gay. So as this was the first I had heard of me being gay I thought I should come out of the closet

If this was me that you were told was saying this, then some absolute psycho nut job is telling lies about me for some reason.
