Hello,
Pootling about the internet takes one to some strange places where one finds out some strange things. Take this highly credible tale of Jack Tweed's 'THREE' encounters with Boy George in the prison showers.
Poor Jack 'turned white and legged it' after stumbling upon 'naked gay' Boy George washing in a communal shower room. I'm sure all of you will join me in condemning this outrage. As if it's not bad enough being a gay George has to go and become one of those naked gays and wash in a shower room!
Quite why The Sun didn't go the whole hog and add a bit of accidental soap dropping into this puerile fear of the queers toss is unclear. Obviously had George been loitering by a radiator, brandishing handcuffs then one would be wise to vacate the area but I don't find his reported behaviour in the showers particularly alarming even if there was 'fleeting eye contact'. Then again I'm not one of those uniformly irresistible heterosexual men who drive all gay men without exception mad with lust.
Personally taking into account the two chaps form I think George has more to fear from Jack who let's face it is a pretty repellent little thug. In the unlikely event there is any truth to this non story Jack might want to reflect on his fear and consider how his victims felt as he assaulted them.
However the article takes a surprising twist towards in the end when it is revealed that Jack is worried about falling in love so soon after Jade's death and isn't sure if he'll ever get another girlfriend. Is this bad writing? An attempt at an explanation for Jack's fear of naked gays and their fleeting eye contact? What are they trying to tell us?

Here's something to get outraged about!
Hello,
There I was round at my mothers leafing through the Daily Mail when I found myself somewhat surprisingly moved to tears by an article involving the antics of the Duchess of York and her offspring. Truly I started reading with a sneer and ended with a chastened whimper.
The programme follows Fergie and co going undercover to expose the appalling conditions the disabled are kept in ,in Turkish orphanages. I shall spare you the details here but suffice to say if animals were being treated in this way even the most unsentimental member of the Countryside Alliance would be distraught.
I was re-reading the article online because I couldn't believe it the first time and came across this quote from quite possibly the sanest Daily Mail reader alive;
'Thankyou for making us aware of this, I sincerely hope that Sarah and Beatrice between them can make some difference, it's awful to think that whilst us in the west are watching the x factor and crying moral outrage over Brand and Ross there are children and teenagers living like this, where are the 30,000 objections over these poor children? Goodness, it certainly brings home what is important.'
In that spirit I'd like to challenge all 30,000 of the retrospective Ross/Brand complainers to tune into the Tonight programme this week on 06/11/08 9pm ITV1 for a really offensive broadcast and devote the same time energy and outrage to doing something to help these abused, vulnerable disabled children and adults who unlike Andrew Sachs and Georgina Baillie have no one to speak up for them nor any means of defending themselves. Why don't all 30,000 of you up there on the moral high ground put your position to good use and make a complaint each to The Turkish Embassy about the barbaric, inexcusable and evil treatment of the disabled? The Embassy can be emailed here or written to at Turkish Embassy, 43 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X 8PA. Go on if you can spare the time for a wealthy actor and a well paid hooker then surely the defence of the genuinely abused won't be too much of a chore.
Before any bore starts I am aware that we do have problems in the UK and I support any attempt to solve those -hence why I do voluntary work and harass MPs, MSPs and councillors. It's just that on balance I regard mentally disabled children and adults left in dirty nappies eating their own shit in filthy run down hovels evil. I would also point out that Turkey are on course to join the EU and we show no signs of making an exit therefore our cash will be heading in that direction. That is on top of the money we bring to the country as tourists.
We've heard plenty from people who feel that being forced to pay the license fee should buy them the right not to be offended by the telly and wireless. Perhaps the same folk might care to get slightly outraged at our financial contribution to a society that tolerates state sponsorship of child cruelty and neglect.
Perhaps I'm being unduly pessimistic but I doubt the admin staff at the Turkish Embassy will be doing much overtime. If there is any comment on this programme it will be pointless debates about whether or not Fergie really cares about the issue at hand, is just doing it to get on telly or is trying to be Diana. Personally I couldn't care less what her motives are, though for the record I find it hard to believe any sane human being let alone a mother of two could witness such suffering and not be distressed by it. I'm no monarchist but if these titled baubles have any use at all it's bringing a bit of credibility and publicity to a cause -hence why most charities fall over themselves to secure royal patronage.
I'd prefer to see 60 million complaints but I'd settle for 30,000. I've emailed mine through and will be following it up with a letter. So once again I challenge the 30,000 righteous to set a good moral example to the nation.

The Uptight Stripper And a Nation Of Tits.
Hello,
I see the nation is having some sort of collective nervous breakdown over the antics of Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand. I'm afraid that being in possession of a somewhat cruel and vulgar sense of humour I was rather amused by it. Still I suppose one shouldn't go around upsetting elderly gentlemen so an apology is in order. Indeed apologies have been made and Andrew Sachs appears happy to leave it at that.
Still let's not forget all the other people who've been offended like the 10,000 who went on to the internet in search of a recording of a reportedly offensive broadcast simply so that they too could enjoy the thrill of victimhood without any real harm having befallen them. Will the BBC be providing one of their special counselling lines I wonder?
More amusing still is the reaction of Georgina Baillie (the grandaughter) who has bounced onto the pages of The Sun to reveal to world that the jokes had a bit more substance to them than we'd first thought in that she has shagged Brand three times. To be fair to her I expect with her line of work in niche soft porn and stripping she's not used to disrespectful remarks from the chaps. God life really is a bitch isn't it? Poor failed page 3 girl Georgina goes to all the bother of becoming 'empowered' by projecting herself as a sexually available 'Satanic Slut', no doubt looking down on the more honestly exhibitionist porn stars and pole dancers as she goes and finds she's accorded no more respect than any other one night stand.
Her claims to be outraged on her grandfathers behalf are as risible as they are phoney. If she were genuinely upset she wouldn't be pouring petrol on the fire by giving interviews, instead she'd be getting on with life and treating juvenile male behaviour with the contempt it deserves. Her bleating all over The Sun is no more than a job interview for the post of pointless celebrity. Never has one woman seized the chance of minor fame with such desperation. Still it'll be nice to see some raven hair for a change in the sea of blonde that is Nuts magazine.
Cheerio
UPDATE: It would appear from this weeks Popbitch that I've been rather hasty in accusing Georgina Baillie of looking down on porn stars. Apparently she's something of a starlet herself! Good God how will she preserve her dignity now? Perhaps by supplying The Sun with a description of exactly what her and Russell got up to. Grandad must be so proud -still at least his family aren't having their privacy invaded anymore.
