Dunno. She's not returning my calls these days...

Hard to tell who it is when they dont talk but just breathe....You'd have thought she'd have caller display now Labour is in government...

a reply to: SprocketUK

Yes. And the bloody anti stalking Order doesn't help....

As a philologist let me just say one thing. King Arthur was king of Bretagne. This means king of Brittany (France celtic) but the troubadours took the stories to Britain where they took king of bretagne to mean king of Britain and as his popularity exploded, he became linked to English mythology instead of the French and Celtics mythology he should be before Jeffery of monamouth and Thomas Malory and White.

What?

He was French?

Blimey.

originally posted by: SprocketUK because he is once purported to have dressed up in drag in order t get in and see a girl he was interested in.

I see their point, since some are doing just that in order to get into women's changing rooms and prisons?

a reply to: AlexandrosOMegas

Sorta conflicts with the whole Owain Ddantgwyn, king of Powys thing that is my current favourite theory.

But I can see why Brittany would have those stories too, since they are all Celts.

A million heads just exploded.

As a kid in 80's Wales it was not uncommon to see the dreaded word "Tan" on the occasional front door in red paint.
Tan is Welsh for Fire-see that on a door and you knew an outsider was being threatened to leave or get burned out.

We got told there was this big organised gang of ultra nationalists doing it-as a kid I pictured them as super dangerous like a welsh version of the IRA hiding in the shadows or something..

With hindsight,I now realize it was more likely to be the bitter old lady of the village or some young farmers on the piss.

I think it was the "sex orange" thing? 🍊

What else you going to propagate the species with. I guess there’s cloning for true asexuals?

Elizabethan England, powdered wigs, heeled shoes on men, totally gay.

Think you might be conflating some eras there.

Totally gay through history.

Kilts? Just skirts for men.

(hiding from angry Scots now)

For goodness sakes dont look up the Greeks

Like the legendary Testiclese, Fannicus, or Sissiphus?

Just wait until you hear how the Spartans got defeated by the Lesbians in the Pelopponesian wars

Look, lesbians are no joke. They scare me.

Back when I was young(er) and dumb(er) I had a t shirt that said "Dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians"....Quite what they would do with a fat, sticky, honey covered, straight bloke never occurred to me.

I think I got a hint from the days I used to go to strip clubs. Be beaten severely with belts.

Sorry, don't understand your banter?

"Sex Orange?

Cabbage crates over the Briney?

a reply to: Lazy88

I knew a perve client. Went to a strip club in Soho.

Stripper came up to him, told him to hold his hands cupped. Excitedly, he did. She poured a bottle of baby oil into his cupped hands.

And then walked away....

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

They used to have strippers at lunchtime in a club called Crackers in Gloucester on match day.
I had one mate who refused to go there because once, one of them picked up his bottle of beer and "did things" with it, rendering it (to him) undrinkable.

a reply to: SprocketUK

Depends which orifice I suppose? I'll get my coat....

Are we suggesting oranges migrate?

a reply to: SprocketUK

I have never been to a strip club, for the record.
