Personally I find it really annoying. Civil Partnerships have now been legal in the UK for just under three years yet you still find more 100th birthday cards than do Civil Partnerships cards (a balance I can’t really believe is right…)

However it’s not attractive to moan so I’m going to stop and tell you something that’s going to put a smile on your face.

I’ve found somewhere that not only offers Civil Partnership cards but offers ones that can be personalised with the names of the people who are getting hitched.

The company offering all this is Yoodoo, the online personalised greeting card company and it’s got a big thumbs up for me and will definitely be my first port of call when the next Civil Partnership announcement comes along!

Check out the Yoodoo range of Civil Partnership cards.

Well actually that’s not as true as you might think because I’ve been doing some research and found that there is a lot more L Word merchandise available than you might think and here are just ten…

1. The L Word : Welcome to Our Planet

The L Word : Welcome To Our Planet book is a companion volume to the L Word series. It only covers the first two series but there’s more than enough in there to keep you going.

2. L Word Original Soundtrack

If you haven’t got a copy of the original L Word soundtrack then you really can’t call yourself a proper L Word fan. This compilation of sounds includes everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Joan Armatrading and Rufus Wainright so there really is something for every taste.

4. Reading The L Word

Oh and there’s the theme tune as well…

The reason the term gay comes into it is because it is the gay man who actually makes the effort to seek these instead of the poor hopeless straight man who will buy the same white y fronts his Mum bought him and then always complain about how uncomfortable they are..

Still confused? Well here are five pieces of mens underwear that I would without a doubt say is a good old pair of gay underwear.

1. Calvin Klein Body Boost Brief

The Calvin Klein brief may look like any other brief but like Super Ted this has special powers because it contains an inner boost strap that enhances and boosts your profile to create a very impressive profile.

The Calvin Klein Body Boost brief is available online at Figleaves

2. Jameswinston Co. Tzar S-brief

The Jameswinston Co ProFIL Panel PLUS S Brief is a brief with a clever front panel that allows not one, but two ways to wear it.

You can wear it as normal and get a subtle enhanced look or you can display your package even more by putting it in the Jameswinston Co. ‘MAX Out’ position.

You can buy the Jameswinston Co S-Brief at Dead Good Undies.

3. Ginch Gonch Pink Monkey Low Rise Briefs

These Ginch Gonch Pink Monkey Low Rise Briefs might not have any special enhancement features but are definitely worth having as their low cut shows off your great physique and lifts your package at the same time.

You can buy the Ginch Gonch Pink Monkey Low Rise Briefs at Quake For Men.

4. Gregg Homme Uplift Microfibre Thong

The Gregg Homme Uplift Microfibre Thong is definitely going to give your package a boost and is achieved through a c-ring just before the pouch.

Expect all eyes to be on you with this thong!

You can buy the Gregg Homme Uplift Microfibre Thong at Dead Good Undies.

5. Diesel All Round Logo Brief

The Diesel All Round Logo Brief is another brief that is free of enhancement but due to it’s low rise cut and styling is still going to be able to give you a great boost.

You can buy the Diesel All Round Logo Brief at Figleaves.

Every element of this 5″ framed record disc can be personalised from the artist’s name to the song title and there’s even room for your very own message. One possible way I can see to use this is to put the song title and the artist of the couple’s favourite song on it with a congratulations message or if you’re in on the Civil Partnership arrangements you could use it to display the first dance music!

You can find out more about the personalised Didi Disc at Getting Personal.

The Sony Ericsson W760i, I think, is one of the sexiest mobile phones that Sony Ericsson have produced with its sleek and glossy black design and gold design details. But for me it’s not all about looks. I have to be impressed by features.

And I am. This is also one feature packed phone with everything from bluetooth to A-GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera, walkman, games and video player included.

And the best thing ins all of these features have their own special little tricks - the MP3 player allows for mood settings and track changes via a shake, the games are transformed with motion sensor buttons and the camera has auto rotate for landscape photos.

It really is one nifty phone that’s going to impress when you whip it out. However if you’re a football fan then you’re going to love the O2 contract it’s available on even more.

Why?

Because O2 are not only offering you 6 months free subscription to the 24-7 subscription service but also offering you a football shirt completely free!

You can find out more about the Sony Ericsson W760i at the O2 Online Store.

This is a great little offer if you’re planning to buy some new pants for your holiday on a hot sunny beach somewhere and with briefs, trunks and shorts included there’s something for you whatever style you prefer.

Check out the DKNY underwear collection at Prowler Direct now.

The reason why I rank it’s so highly is because Prowler Direct, as many of you will know, is an online store focused on one market - the gay man market. This means the products that Prowler Direct chosen will have been chosen with you in mind.

That means there will no white y fronts for you to dismiss, instead there will be gorgeous HOM boxer briefs, Priape jockstraps, Diesel briefs and DT jocks for you to go OH YES to.

Check out this great range of gay underwear today at Prowler Direct.

Today was made up of 53 push ups split into five uneven groups of press ups with a 2 minute gap between each one. The first 15 were possibly the most painful push ups I’ve ever done but I will admit it did get slightly easier after my muscles had warmed up.

I have to admit whilst it’s a relatively painful experience I’m actually quite enjoying the Push Up challenge. In fact I’m even starting to look for a new challenge when I finish!!
