I've no wish to reopen the discussions in question, so for good order I will not name names. Suffice to say it's a fair time ago and not recent. Had the subject not been generally raised in this thread I'd have left it alone.

Ah yes, Billa in Venice.
That recap was for those who have joined late, having just been redirected from the 'Pressing Question' thread.
Whilst we're on new avatar pictures, why does cdd now look like Bill Gates in his youth? That's Bill's youth, not cdd's youth, by the way.

no hymagumba, it was because u were slaggin people off, remember "it_is_here" (andrewworth on the tv forum), he is my son, and i was livid when you called him gay , i did even consider going to the police after you calling my son gay. unfortunatly thats apperently not breaking the law (don't drag me in to all the law rubbish).
So Hymagumba, if you were a bit nicer to people, then perhaps people would visit more.

Funniest post I've read all day!
I don't know of your son, or the incident you mention, but with an attitude like yours I doubt if he is gay, he would feel able to tell you.

How would you know that and why get so worked up about a comment on an internet forum?
Such a comment wont turn your son gay, if he isn't.

I concur, wells. adw2007 sounds like a scary dad. I bet he's even less fun than a night out with Hyma
(and that's something reserved for very bad nightmares)!
I notice he doesn't mention whether he would be concerned if his son was actually gay, which would of course dispel any suggestion that he was in the slightest bit prejudice.

Remember why you stopped enjoying Michael Barrymore as an entertainer, the music of Elton John and stopped respecting Mark Oaten as a politician?

Statistically speaking, if you call someone gay on TVF (or particularly metropol), odds are you're right.

That's not going to have happened, but only because those things are very unlikely to have ever started in the first place.
