I'm ashamed on behalf of Musket for meeting you and not weighing up the odious part of you..

NHS? What has that to do with a twenty odd year old miner? Meeting a lass at a club resonates I suppose, but no lump, no Adams Apple either. Most folk songs I wrote were well before getting involved in healthcare, although I have never actually been employed in The NHS as such, just chairing bodies, working for regulators and providing consultancy support to turn round failing services. (Musket and Musket are NHS through and through of course, but don't forget, the whole point of sharing a log in is because of posts such as yours above. I rest my case..)

Mind you, in the same way as Warren Mitchell and Johnny Speight were role models in flushing out bigotry by laughing at them by seeming to laugh with them (Alf Garnett) we too seem to have suffered the same fate.

If you can't laugh at stereotypes, you may wish to ask if you laugh with them.

Perhaps you might want to question Akenaton as to why he can't laugh at satirising homophobes. Silly me.. You never do, do you?


Oh..

Jim.

Here you go. From one of your posts above, after you mentioned the singers club booking Tom, you then later said,


"Sorry too that The Singers Club wasn't prepared to book your old buddy because of the homophobic nature of what he sang."


Don't get me wrong. I make allowances for age, confusion and blinkered views, but as you don't, I thought it best to pull you up. I'm sure a younger you would understand.
