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
Ah that's the thread with little sense of humour isn't it. The one you get banned from for making a simple parody comment one and subsequently receive a withering patronising your banned e mail. Yet full on personal abuse can and does continue on other threads
Great moderation on here at times

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.
' I just Called to Say I Love You' was a movie song, so written 'to order'
They never ordered him to write a terrible song. That's was all his own doing.

Funnily enough Hotter Than July is the last album I liked of his stuff and it contains Happy Birthday which I tend to miss out
It's a great album but its some 39 years old now

Yes, it's not a bad album, if you skip Happy Birthday, but compared to Songs In The Key Of Life, Innervisions etc, it falls well short.

Still waiting on the 500k job losses predicted in 2016. Seems some people are gullible twice.
Good stuff

Glad you are aware you have an unpopular opinion wink

'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.

cool
I can't stand Ebony and Ivory because it features that complete prick Paul McCartney.

Indeed he did. But written to flow with the movie I would argue.

i thought it was stated in no uncertain terms a few pages back that Brexit was a banned topic and that anyone discussing it was getting removed from the thread.

It wouldn't be any better without him. It's a dreadful song, and would still be dreadful if performed by your favourite artist.

Sportsmen/woman should be allowed to take any enhancing drugs as required. I thought the idea was to improve to be the best.

Look at other sports. Golf clubs, tennis rackets, footballs etc are not the same as when the sport started so why not people?

it is reasonable to wonder whether they would have become such thoroughly fked up adults if they had been able to remain hidden. Hard to know.
