    It must be a non-news day at the BBC. Either that or we've slipped back in time a few decades.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-25183041

    The world is pleading poverty, there are several sections of the world either at or on the verge of war, and the number one most read article on the BBC today is... a man has admitted he's gay.:runforhills:

      I thought it was a bit ridiculous because he shouldn't need to admit or explain anything. Who cares?! :dunno:

          I read it on the BBC News site earlier - got to admit I thought he was gay all along, not that it matters a jot

          Really, who is bothered nowadays whether someone is gay or otherwise? Beside anything else it is nobodies business but his own

                What to do? Well the government could try something innovative and wind their neck in for a couple of years and stop trying to fix everything. Let them get on with things in their own way and if they need a broom to sweep up the mess afterwards we can donate a shipful.

                  So true, it now seems decidedly fashionable to "swing" all sorts of ways and I for 1 couldn't give a damn, certainly not newsworthy unless you are a teenage female fan of Tom's or male fan too I suppose come to think of it:heehee:!!!!!. Like many women I'm sure, my gaydar was correct some years back when I 1st saw Tom Daley so not surprised in the slightest.

                    Might a mop or even some tissues be more appropriate for this thread? :heehee:
