		<description>I suspect it's because it gets people watching - it's entertainment and not a documentary or even anything "social commentary". If having sex with anything would bring in more vieweers then they'd write it in.</description>

		<description>Actually I am also rather fond of your new series of Sixties Buildings photos on The Terrace,  In particular the one that includes the pedestrian crossing light is bloody fabulous!  I had never noticed before how crazily beautiful those ped. lights are.....or maybe it is just because it is Orange!</description>

		<description>That dxd what a ratbag!  My favourite photo of yours at the moment is the 'Spooky Park', very moody and such beautiful composition darling.  
On another note completely unrelated.........
I have been meaning to tell you that all your menus seem to be working spiffingly in Safari.......haven't encountered a problem yet.  And they are rather a fabulous edition to your blog, so good job and thanks for keeping us Mac  minorities in the user loop!
And speaking of Macs, Fred's Kindy has one, how flash I say!  Yay, mediocrity is not an option at St James!  He he  ;-)</description>

		<description>I explained uncle daddy to one guy...then later told him that wee Archie was a memeber of the mighty down syndrome clan and he suggested that this was because of the 'imoral behaviour'. I am no longer friends with this person.</description>

		<description>who are you acp? and yeah sam, ruin it for the rest of us. the gay couple were my favourite, I think we're behind over here.  Acp I agreee on uncle daddy difficult explanation. Even the most open minded people seem to get confused and think emily and jake had baby, it's really not that complicated but find I have to explain everything in a particular order to not confuze people. There is a lot of :

"emily is my sister:"

"duhhnn...yeah"

"jan is her partner"

".....ah...ha"

"jake is my brother"

"..yup... (mmm crayon yummy...)..."

"jake donated sperm and jan had the baby"

"your brother and sister did it?! ooh gross, is that weird?"

"sigh"

most of them get it the end and say:

"oh wow what a cool thing to do, they should write that into an episode of shortland st"</description>

		<description>when i have explained "Uncle Daddy" to people, they don't tend to ask about the insemination bit but rather they seem to get confused over just whose brother Jake is; seemingly missing the "partner's brother" bit and that it's not the "birth mother's brother". but then maybe they are picturing some kind of physical act and getting all spun out in their head. hmm. although i do always use the term "sperm donor" which would indicate "jar and the syringe" to me, rather than "zi-zi in cha-cha"!

oh and thanks for the Amazing Race spoiler Sam :( boo hoo

if you look at the rest of dxd's pic descriptions and comments, they all seem to be in another language. so it could be some kind of compliment in arabic or whatnot :)</description>

		<description>I don't object to lesbians having sex with men, I'm sure it happens all the time, but there wasn't any desire factor involved, it was just for baby making purposes, which is STOOPID!

I guess I am a bit sensitive only because it's annoying when people assume Jan &#38; Jake had sex to concieve our kids - annoying and also EEK!!

No idea who dxd is - I think maybe someone who entertains themselves by adding random meaningless comments? Anyway you should join Karen as it is COOL and since you will be getting your digicam and all...</description>
