TOGG Blog

I am a TOGG. For those of you who don't know, a TOGG is one of Terry's Old Geezers and Gals. Terry Wogan is the presenter of the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 and his main audience is those of us over a certain age who do things like stand in the middle of a room and try to remember if we were coming in or going out; we put the sugar in the fridge, the hammer in the cupboard and carry the butter out to the shed; we go to the shops for a newspaper and come back with a pound of bacon.
For Toggs computers and the internet are a source of alarm and puzzlement, you have to remember we have to hire 6 year olds to come round and set the VCR and mobile phones......don't get me started......
So it is with fear, loathing and trepidation that I have decided to try blogging. It has been reccomended to me by a friend who assures me it is a relatively painless and simple way to get my thoughts,ideas, opinions and writing (oh no not another writer, yes I'm afraid so) out into the wide world.
A final warning, not only am I a Togg I am also a GOW (Grumpy Old Woman) The disadvantage of being both is that I am frequently in an ill temper, I just won't remember why.

    I shall go now and quickly submit an application to this society of TOGGs, as well as one to GOM (surely there is a partner affiliation I can hook up with), and both before I forget.

    Welcome to the strange world of blogging, Jodie. I am an ETOGG (Ex Terry's Old Geezers and Gals) of the male variety. I was thrown out of the TOGG society when I discovered computers about ten years ago and I had to cross the road to join the rather less esteemed ETOGG club.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your first posting (that's what we call them in this odd little world) and I look forward to reading many more. Thank you.

    I'm Jodie too -- I find I really like blogging -- perhaps you will, too.

    It's very freeing to be grumpy.
