Musical Homophobia - or The Homophobia Histories

[amateur51]

Oh, c'mon, TweetyPie, you know exactly where he is coming from...you old book-burning vegetarian, you (: fluttering eyelash emoticon:)

As nice an example of homosexual panic as I've seen in a long time - so brave.

I think this entire board is going to disappear from sight in the next few days. It does little credit to the forum.

Oh dear, the infamous sense of humour failure rears its ugly mug again

In order for a sense of humour to suffer a failure, there would have needed to be some humour there in the first place.

Of which, in your posts being referred to, there was none.

I agree, it's a shame. However I hope that the activities of a few puerile adults of the heterosexual persuasion will not be taken as a reason for blocking this sort of topic in future.

Chingford is now in London (since the early 1960s) and is part of one of the most ethnically diverse boroughs in the capital.

Well you say that, but actually Chingford (formerly Norman Tebbit's constituency) is an enclave of whiteness compared with the rest of Waltham Forest. When I was living in E17 a few years ago I had the chance to visit the summer fairs in Walthamstow and Chingford on successive weeks, and, while the former was indeed as diverse as you'd expect, I didn't see a single non-white face at the latter, and indeed a few of the faces I did see were attached to people of the neo-Nazi variety. For what it's worth.

And that the relentless drive by a few puerile adults of the homosexual persuasion to take over these boards with homosexualist propaganda will not be encouraged.

Thanks for exemplifying my use of the term 'puerile'

Absolutely, before I started posting on these boards I was a happily married heterosexual man
now, sadly, due to the relentless "homosexualist propaganda" i'm batting for Darrington

what utter carp you spout peester .........

Sorry, ahinton, I suspect you are horribly pot-ugly anyway and I've already been snapped up years ago, I'm afraid ...

Notwithstanding your suspicions (which, for all I know, may not be entirely unfounded but it's hardly for me to say one way or the other), the apparent fact that you've been "snapped up years ago" (a phrase which might make some wonder by whom or what) is hardly of significance here...

Leon Dudley Sorabji would not be very exotic these days.

Whoever he was or might otherwise have been, he wouldn't be anything "these days". That said, the number of young Parsi boys born in Chingford in 1892 whose fathers went on to marry bigamously and who had already married their mothers bigamously was probably relatively small, methinks...

I know - and your point is?...

And as a born and bread

Paninis? Naan? Baguette? Sourdough?...

Essex lad with an English mum, he would definitely be unremarkable

He may have been born there but was hardly bred there.

(save for his utterly enormous talent and intellect).

Fair comment, though the connection with that thread topic seems remarkably tenuous...

Agreed - including my own contributions...

And since I, for one, am not one of such persuasion, Mr Pee, don't you think that you ought to cast the net of your supererogatory illogicality somewhat farther?

[Beef Oven!]

Bread?

Use your loaf!

That was for hinton - he'd have written a couple of paragraphs on it! Keep out of it!

I hope very much that nothing in this thread has "destroyed" your marriage or its happiness in the way that one contributor thereto has repeatedly sought to assert that the new same sex marriage legislation has done not only for you but for the rest of us heterosexuals; that said, can you explain to an ignoramus like me what "batting for Darrington" means?

Ahinton to you - and I didn't write anything like that much about it!
