Recently got told off for the opinion that trans women should tell dates up front they used to have a cock before having sex.

Surprisingly specific. Had a bad experience George?

Next time you should tell someone

No bad experience just a different opinion to others in the gender non binary thread in this forum's news section

Any grown man using the PH forums who refers to something as "fab" is a closet homosexual.

Just, stop it.

Unnecessary homophobic comment there

So does he, he's just not willing to accept it, yet....

No one's career have gone to hell in a handcart to a greater extent than Stevie Wonder. I find it hard to believe that the man who gave us brilliant songs like Living For The City, Misstra Know It All and I wish, is the same guy who inflicted upon us such dirge as I Just Called To Say I Love You, Happy Birthday and Ebony & Ivory.

That's a fair point, but OTOH there's the Frog Chorus...

Aston Martins really aren’t that good.

Usually very disappointing.

i drove a DB11 at Elvington last Summer and it seemed v comfy and a bit porky, but then i had just come out of a F458 and shortly before that an Aventador.

I think it’s partly because of the way they look. Every time I have gone to buy one which has been 3 times I have sat in them found the interior and the drive really average. Like decent BMW M car nothing more.

I expected extraordinary haven’t got it yet from an Aston. Haven’t driven the new ones yet though. Until recently always felt like they brought a knife to a gun fight.

Asking for a friend.........................................

In early 90s Manchester when men love was starting to become publicly acceptable to men, women, those that hadn't made up their mind, those too drunk to remember and my mate Salford Geoff, and the Canal Street area getting it's reputation, slang "a fab night out" meant f"fckd a bottom".

This was another way of saying you'd been the "top" that night, (stealing the previous hard, nish, clish, banging, 'top-won' mate from the Manc scallies dictionary, a "top" night out).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top,_bottom_and_vers...

So it is entirely correct for 'fab' to associated with a homosexual. Or a builder of Thurnderbird models. Or a collector of ice lollies with 100s and 100s upon.

I don't disagree...I was just asking what's wrong with being a "closet homosexual"......

You bang your head on the roof of the wardrobe, get coat hangers poking you in the eye and there isn't really enough room to get thrusting in and out properly.

Other than that nothing wrong with homosexuality in closets / wardrobes / cupboards or larders (wipe the spunk of the butter after please).

Literally we have cupboards, but we have metaphorical closets. Saves the possible confusion as to whether someone is in a literal or metaphorical closet. Cue South Park Tom Cruise skit.

[StanleyT]

Originated from water closets (USA). Which confusingly was then called cottaging if it was a public water closet (UK).

Gotta be careful with this homosexuality malarkey, one wrong slip and your finest intention is taken the wrong way.

Best just use my excuse, tri-sexual (*). I'll try anything legal once.

(*) Which on an iPhone defaults by spellpecking to transsexual! Alternate love grammar really is a hard subject to grasp, think I need to spend a hole lot more time on this subject.

Anything connected with the sixties or the Beatles can legitimately be decribed as FAB.

' I just Called to Say I Love You' was a movie song, so written 'to order'

'Happy Birthday' was written for Martin Luther King to celebrate his birthday which is now a public Holiday. Which SW was instumental in initiating.

Ebony and Ivory....well yes, you are right.
