Back in Jak, Still Laughing About ‘Rear of the Year!’
Well I got back to Jakarta late last night…
—-
… but it’s taken me all day to regain control of my laptop from Windows, who seized it for installation of ‘updates!’ They offered no option to postpone their installation, so I was unable to email my numerous friends in The Old Country who made my visit fun.
First time in the UK for quite a few years, and much to comment on ( incidentally, no blog comments recently from anyone, so if I don’t publish yours, please resend – Windows maybe erased them whilst making free with my technology!)
Meantime, no rush to blog about all my experiences in modern Britain, which will include a gripping comparison of Manchester and Abu Dhabi Airports…

…except for the hilarious poster I saw when strolling nostalgically around my alma mater. It comprised an imaginary (?) conversation, presumably between two normal British blokes, roughly along the lines of –
‘Why would she be offended when I said she had the ‘Rear of the Year?’
ooooooooooooooooo
This nice pic was NOT on the ‘diversity’ poster.

Yeah, I’d have thought she’d take it as a compliment.’

Indeed, any normal girl would!
But the poster was a warning from some nut-jobs in the campus ‘diversity’ shrill-squad, whining about men being ‘disrespectful’ to women! I laughed aloud at the po-faced ( and presumably skinny-assed) prigs who felt so slighted. Then I continued my walk and came upon the most recent update of the student union discipline code, which has now included ‘leering’ as a possible disrespectful disciplinary offence.

As my former Scots colleague might have put it, were these people born, or did their maw knit them?
However, it turns out there is an actual event – no, not a ‘National Leering Day’ – but a Rear of the Year contest!
The ‘Rear of the Year’ is a light-hearted award presented annually to British celebrities with prize-winning rear assets. It was created by publicity consultant Tony Edwards and is organised by Rear of the Year Limited. http://www.rearoftheyearcompetition.com/
So belated congrats to Jennifer, above – uptights please note, there are awards for both female and male bums, but you won’t get any of the latter featured on THIS blog!

But a big question mark over how students supposedly engaged in serious studies at a respectable UK university have time to get their knickers in a twist over a neat chat-up line.

I sent a comment last week but so far it hasn’t been published. It’s a little late now so I am sending anther, to say how much I agree with you about the ‘rear rage’ students. They are so censorious. I thought university years were for fun. They were for me.

Sorry, ma’am. Some trouble with the comments column.
I think some are lost permanently, but it seems to be working well now, just slow.
