"I wish someone would put him straight..."

ROFLMHO!!!!!


Dianne, what the bloody hell is offensive about that?
Given that my comparativly close neighbour (well, about 5 mile close) Mathew Parris is totally open about his sexuality, Kitty's comment about putting him straight struck me as being VERY ironically funny.
If you find that comment offensive then I suggest you look at yourself and your own opinions.

BTW, Though in this instance I think he's been a bit of a prat, the couple of occasions I've met him, assisting a local builder doing work on his house, I've found him an amusing and quite charming person.
