Actually Dave, My Beautiful Laundrette was 1985 and Parting Glances was a year later in 1986. That makes them nearly 20 years and older than Emerson. And Thank You for Bringing that up you have just made me feel my age, and I think I'll have an attack of the vapours now and I shall have to lay down to recover.

Hey don't worry Kevin, They're not older than me

And you're as young as the body you feel. Or something like that
Oh and Chip what exactly are you trying to imply about me being parental and all toward scem0. I've not got a parental bone in my body I'll have you know

Besides i'm only like 6 years older than him

Don't make me old before my time mate

[Actually a thought has just occurred to me. When I started working, Emerson was in his first year of high school. Damn!! Ok not old yet, but certainly on the way]
Ok so little mini drama for me today

Came out to one of my cousins today. [I'm out to all my mates and work colleagues, but very little of my family] That brings the total number of cousins i'm out to, to 4. So far the reactions have all been positive. It's actually brought me a lot closer to them, which is good as my family is becoming a lot more important to me now that i'm more secure with myself.
In the last year or so there are about 8 or so of us cousins that have become really close. More like brothers and sisters than cousins. Well now i've told all the guys, it's on to the girls

Just need the right time.
I can't ever see myself ever being completely out to all of my family. The community is too conservative and i guess for most of them it would just be more trouble that it was worth. Besides as long as the ones that are really close to me know, that's important.
Anyway i'll be back at work on Monday and I'll see you guys then
