Here at NigeCorp, my female colleagues often comment on the
number of women to be seen on the Underground and on commuter trains
sitting as if in front of their mirror at home and performing their
elaborate, often lengthy make-up routines, quite oblivious of their
surroundings. Being the kind of gals who wouldn't stoop to such
vulgarity, they naturally disapprove of this conduct.
For myself, I find it mildly interesting - especially if it's well
done - to see the transformation wrought by a good maquillage. And by
Golly you need a steady hand to do it on a moving train... This morning on
the Underground, I enjoyed a novel variant on the theme, as the young
man sitting next to me set about applying his make-up - toner, mascara and a
rather pungent hand cream - and a very good job he made of it. Nice to
see a chap make an effort.
Meanwhile, the American basketball star Jason Collins has 'come
out' as gay. All very laudable, and Obama and Clinton and co are rushing
to praise him for his courage. His coming clean about his sexual
orientation has been widely described as 'heroic'. Well maybe, but, as
someone remarked drily in a tweet to the Today programme this morning: 'The bar for
heroism seems to have been lowered since Normandy.' Quite.

ReplyDeleteWhat would our old friend Lt.Gen. Carton de Wiart, VC. have made of it and your travelling companion? I've no clue, but I would be amused to find out.
Let's not forget to honour the brave heros who fight the good fight against depression and substance abuse.
