Diamond geezer

I noted with interest today that a 507 carat white diamond was discovered at the historic Cullinan mine near Joburg.
Initial examinations indicate that it is of exceptional colour and clarity, and most likely to be a Type I diamond.
At the same time and by complete coincidence, I read that the real life Lucy from the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" has died after a long fight against lupus.
Lucy Vodden died after battling the disease for years.
Vodden came to the attention of John Lennon when the Beatles' young son Julian came home from school one day with a drawing that he said was "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."
The elder Lennon turned it into a psychedelic masterpiece long associated with LSD use.
Julian Lennon reached out to Vodden in recent years as she suffered from the disease.
Lupus is a chronic illness during which the immune system attacks the body's own tissue….ouch
Additional diamond news sees a lavish breakfast, billed as the most expensive in the world, unveiled to mark the start of a West End production.
The £22,000 croissant, coffee and cocktail, created by the makers of Chambord, the French black raspberry liqueur, coincides with the opening of Breakfast At Tiffany's starring Anna Friel.
The meal includes a hand-decorated bejewelled croissant, covered in edible gold and diamonds, Bar le Duc hand-seeded redcurrant jam and a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee washed down with a Chambord and champagne cocktail worth more than £20,000.
The Chambord is served from a bottle of the liqueur encrusted with gold, diamonds and pearls worth 2.4 million US dollars (around £1.5 million) and topped up with Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque champagne. Sounds great but I think I am washing my hair that day…

In other news…Please note that the Gay Pride March will take place on the 3 October starting at 11.00 at the Zoo Lake Sports Club.
The parade will be followed by a march by all those people who wear striped pyjamas to bed on a Tuesday, and then a march by people whose names begin with P, and then followed by owners of red coloured pets…birds are welcome, but fish are advised to remain in their various bowls …
It’s a day for getting over it. You are gay, it is as much accepted now as any other minority group, who would have thought it, gays a minority group?…you are proud, I get that and am proud of you, really!
Can I just say…move on boys, queens and other stereotypical names we straight people like to name you by.
This is not a gay bashing exercise I promise, but you nolonger need to wear tight vests and talk in high pitched voices, its as subtle as a Rhino horn.
You don’t have to do that hand slapping bitch fight thing anymore to show off your sexual preference..ok now I am having a go…
