‘ I & millions of other rational people’

Ooooh, such crass use of the English language. Shudder.

[Mamyalynne]

Heck, that smacks a bot of 'get back in your box' doesn't it?

//Male mud wrestling O_G - bring it on!//

if it were Male nude wrestling - - - - - I might er have a look!

[Peter Pedant]

// ‘ I & millions of other rational people’//

no no surely this has to be

‘ I & millions of other rational people’ - in short such language brings me out in a rash

"smacks a bit..."^^

[shoota]

Freudian slop...

Khendro, this isn't the Olympics or World Championships. Nothing's going to change in actual sporting events. This is a reality TV show. I bet Strictly will do the same within two years.

Although men have often danced alongside other men i think the physicality of ice dancing does not lend itself to two men.

Is Matt going to be able to lift H on his shoulders and spin him around or other similar moves? Most of the girls these muscle toned men usually lift are tiny 6 stone ladies.

Will be interested to see what happens.

I doubt it, Darcey. Fancy lifts and spins are much easier with a lightweight gal.

Zacs; the full sentence goes;

"I & millions of other rational people, have no problem with men & men, or ............"

Nothing at all wrong with that, what are you on about?

[Mozz71]

I think Zac might've been having a sly one at you being a 'rational person'.

[douglas9401]

You know what's missing on here?

"snooze ........... for 30 days". I use it a lot on Facebook when the high horses are galloping.

[Mozz71]

Its pretty easy to ignore a thread you know Doug.

[Ellipsis]

> Listen-up, I & millions of other rational people, have no problem with men & men, or women & women dancing (or doing anything they like) together.

Your rational position is that you have no problem with men dancing together ... you just have a problem with it being shown as entertainment on TV. Very rational, Khandro ...

[Khandro]

Mozz //I think Zac might've been having a sly one at you being a 'rational person'.//

No, I don't think that at all, he wrote, //Ooooh, such crass use of the English language. Shudder.//
I think he was attempting to give a misguided lesson in grammar, by removing the verb; 'think'.
So it was either a grammatical faux pas on his part, or an insult.
What I know of him - probably both.

Khandro at 22.34 - I only know what you post on here about people of colour and people who are gay - your attituds shine through, and you are called out for them regularly.

In terms of your son, three separate times you have felt the need to qualify him as 'not camp' clearly it matters to you how cyber strangers see him, and that can only be your own insecurity.

For the record, I don't care if your son makes Juĺian Clary look like a docker on steroids. I doubt anyone else on here cares either, and I am sure your son would be tolerant of you explaining him to strangers.

Ok, we know now, no need to remind us, unless your prejudices are keeping you awake at night.

[naomi24]

AH, Are you sure you meant that^ for Khandro?

[youngmafbog]

No doubt London centric thinking at play again.

Well, if they think the public will tune in their hordes and justify the no doubt high advertising fees then fair enough.

If people dont tune in then the revenues will drop and they will be told - but in true Metropolitan elite fashion, will not heed.

[Khandro]

A.H; ??? see naomi, 13:01 ^

Apology please?

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - // AH, Are you sure you meant that^ for Khandro? //

You are correct, it was meant for Theland, thanks for spotting and pointing it out.
