His Boy George a suitable replacement taking into consideration his dubious past record, and I am not talking about his music.

/// In 2009 he was sentenced to 15 months in jail for falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain. In 2006 he was sentenced to community service in New York after cocaine was found in his Manhattan apartment. ///

Why why why?

Yes Ron...you've made that rather silly point before. Language changes...you, obviously, don't.

[Mamyalynne]

I had an Aunt who bore a resemblance to Tom Jones.



I'm not a regular viewer of the show but think Tom was ready to go and George will bring a new viewpoint to proceedings.

[EcclesCake]

Your aunt wore skintight leather trousers Mamya?

She sounds like quite a lady!

[Mamyalynne]

She was.

[MargoTester]

I must be the only one who liked Tom. I think Paloma Faith will bring a bit of life into the proceedings, at least her choice of clothes will be 'interesting' to say the least.

I hope women didn't throw their knickers at her, Mamya.

[Baldric]

^^^ it'll be Y fronts Tony!

[tonyav]

Those with the loose elastic, Baldric ?.

[Baldric]

Haven't they all?

'In 2009 he was sentenced to 15 months in jail for falsely imprisoning a male escort'



Can you legitimately imprison a male escort?

[DaisyNonna]

Not watched it and not tempted

Yes Ron...you've made that rather silly point before. Language changes...you, obviously, don't. // Yes, yes gingejbee I know that but I very strongly object to the language being taken, YES TAKEN, to be used by anyone or group for their own personal use & then thrust upon us & taken for granted that it is in any way official. What is it about ? Perhaps Homosexual people do not like being called Homosexuals. With respect to all concerned that's their problem

[Mamyalynne]

The language has been evolving constantly - one thing I never do is drop using a word with it's original intended meaning if I think it fits into my conversation.

If the listener cannot tell the difference they can ask me and I'll explain.

tom jones has much more service and knowledge of the industry.boy george is no where near qualified to give any advice.look at his cock ups etc

[MargoTester]

^^ I'd rather not !

When you've seen four chairs seating notable worthies intent on making a silk purse out of a sows ear rotate more than once, you've you've seen it all.

Georgie boy's no Julian Clary, always lacking 'something', but any old tripe for a crust I suppose.

surely you not saying your homophobic whiskeryron.................an anotherolgit Cheryl cole beat up and was charged with assaulting a toilet attendant years ago

The BBC happily employed Leslie Grantham (Dirty Den in Eastenders)who had served 10 years in prison for the murder of a West German taxi driver, so Boy George's convictions have nothing on that.
