    You can report me if you like. Should be interesting as my cousin who is in politics, is openly gay and I often drink in gays bars with him and his partner.

    Wow how brave. In this day and age who would of thought it.:rolleyes:

    I first of all thought that Miss Moneypenny meant a toff/public schoolboy. I them realised she must be attempting homophobia. As well as public school types and gay men/lesbians, I also knew a lot of Welsh people at Oxford, maybe she is trying to imply something anti-Welsh?

    Perhaps if she had the guts to explain what 'type' she means then we can move on?

    Same hint to you too Humpy. Read again and then look closely at post 167.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    Is this an opportune moment to point out that Alan Carr didn't actually go to Oxford?

    :DI was talking about Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge). His brother went to Warwick.

    Sir H I know we had a spat earlier but that kind of stuff is out of order.
    Implying your sexuality or anything from education is out of order.

    Yeah, but Alan Carr went to Middlesex according to Wikipedia....is he sacrificing reality for comedic gain?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Gay men are very good company. Great to take shopping with you too as they don't complain about having to wait around in shops or having to go back to the first shop you went in.:D

    Lots of young men (and the ''type'' fc123 would descibe as metrosexual) go shopping. I find shopping-loving straightmen better shopping companions now I'm getting older and wiser. They are better at choosing things your husband's boss would like :o

    FWIW I'm trying to take this off accusations now which is why I'm blathering on about excerpts from my dating life. What I'd do now for a good recipe conversation with Generali or FC123. :(

    If anyone has a problem with anyone else perhaps we should do as MSE have asked, report the post and be nice?

    Did we ever find out for sure if this is one of Dithering Dads sockpuppets?

    You mention the supposed example of Alan Carr, the famously gay comedian. You're not persuading me that it was not intended as homophobia.

    Still, I've had people call me a spaz as a well this week, (what is wrong with suffering from cerebral palsy is beyond me too). Martin should have shifted this board to obscurity, he has his credibility to maintain.

    It's a conspiracy i tell you :D

    1 up, 1 down, whatever next.



    I dont know about conspiracy but I know it shows the market sample must be extremely small in one, if not both, of the findings to be that far apart..

    Either that or Nationwide & Halifax have a very different market spread..

    So all in all pretty much worthless...
