A few weeks ago, Ron posted a photo of himself wearing a rainbow-coloured feather boa that he'd 'acquired' at 'Pride in the Pines' at Flagstaff. Upon seeing it, I knew I just had to have one to wear with my Rainbow kilt at our 'Brighton Pride' and said as much. Next thing KCW offered to send me one as a birthday gift - and it arrived a few days ago! I have already thanked Rob privately, but I do so again publicly: Thank you, Rob. Although Brighton Pride is not until the weekend, the boa has already elicited hysterical tears of laughter and joy from one of my female neighbours, but I am now getting cold feet at the thought of wearing the 'Rainbow Combination' in front of maybe 10,000 people.

What do you all think? I have to travel part of the journey on a London - Brighton train with no-where to change at the event. Should I go for it, or should I behave my age? [PS: Actually, I don't have to listen to you!!
