Absolutely … I’d throw in the point that there was a β€œblack Mozart” (Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges) around at the same time as Mozart, but a distinctly different person and also not in this upcoming TV series!

Was she the therapist telling Dan he liked being in the closet? If so, that’s some good work there. :)

He’s also been pissing off Piers Morgan and Reform, which is a big plus. :)

Almost certainly the Greens … their new leader has been emphatically defending trans people and stating immigration is actually a net good, which is considerably more than the other parties have done so far.

His autobiography has an entire chapter on β€œClue”. :)

Not quite … but there were some very big hints to that effect.

Dan’s coming out video did mention they at least had been in a relationship and he referred to himself and Phil as soulmates, but declined to say whether or not they were still together.

That said, they did later buy a house together, so there’s that. 🀷

I do remember it ... I was living in a western region, so the first I saw/heard of the subliminal images was when it was revealed they had been shown in the eastern regions. (They weren't *that* subtle, as far as I can remember!)

They don’t, but I can verify that Boots used to sell computers … my dad bought a Dragon 32 from a Nottingham branch back in 1983 (with a 10 year warranty on it).

πŸ‘†This 1000% … and those trying to make us feel bad for their own bigotry can fuck right off!

OK, that makes sense … I could see the middle ”i” but I was struggling to work out the rest of it.

I now reckon third from the bottom is cream.

Actually, that might be cream.

Though seriously, I think Tex was taught to write by a GP.

It pretty much always has been … we’ve known about cis and trans molecular isomerism for quite a while now. :)

Age yourself with a film you saw in a cinema as a kid.

Put Channel 5 into that as well … those documentaries about benefits fraudsters, police chases and customs officers also seem pretty right-wing generating to me as well.

Bloody hell … he seems almost as bonkers as Alex Bramham - similarly β€œChristian” and transphobic.

Also unable to spell β€œprioritise” in that handle.

There’s also some degree of Greg scoring prize tasks based on previous efforts. For instance, Mathew Baynton was consistently scoring 4s and 5s, but his last prize (boots in a bin for the most likely double-take) was uncharacteristically lazy, and I think even Greg said so.

Oh, I had a sudden diarrhoea attack on my last day of a trip to Guangzhou ten years ago … couldn’t clean myself up properly with the pack of hand tissues I had, nor could I change my underwear before my flights home. (Not the most pleasant 24 hours I’ve had, to put it mildly.)

That was the (indirect) cause of death for an episode of Six Feet Under. (A woman gets out of her car and wanders into the middle of the road when she sees helium-filled blow-up dolls, thinking they are angels ascending to heaven, only to get hit by a truck.)

Major news outlets just can’t do social media.

It’s probably a smaller risk for open couples, depending on how and what they agree upon when meeting other people, than for monogamous ones (that clearly don’t agree there).

Yep … I’d argue that there is definitely more deliberate intent among LGBTQ couples to have children than straight ones: pregnancy doesn’t tend to be accidental for us, after all. 🀷

I mean, I met many duds before I finally found my spouse, so I reckon that makes sense.

Finally looking it up … have you tried the whisky yet?
