philmayfield 6,089 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I thought I was the only grey in our village. I did try ‘Just for Men’ once but left it on too long and it became dark brown! I got some strange looks but people were too polite to comment! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I can't see why this has to occupy so many column inches. I've only seen him a couple of times but, like philmayfield, I too thought it was obvious. People who are so interested in other people's sexuality need something more constructive to occupy their time. However, it's becoming so commonplace these days, I'm beginning to wonder if it's something in the water? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 5,377 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I really don't give a damn but I'm curious as to why they think we need to know. Is it trendy to display all this angst? all this crap about how tortured they were until they announced to the world "I'm queer, out and proud" (their terminology not mine before anyone calls me homophobic). Who gives a sh**! Why not just get on with living like the rest of us and keep their private life just that - private. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Phyllis Schofield is almost unknown here but these (hopeful) headline grabbers are commonplace worldwide. Often the sign of a flagging career - make some revolutionary announcement that will rouse the sympathies of the feeble minded - which it seems to have done - in the expectation of new contracts of employment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I think they were probably on to him with a sleazy story so he came out before it became any worse. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And generate some well paid interviews where he can pontificate about the LGBQTPAON community. There's could be some truth in what philmayfield thinks, echoes of George Micheal?

Personally, I'm more interested in Paul Scofield. Great actor who took the privacy of himself and his family extremely seriously. Sad loss of a great talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I understand that he was known by that in his early days at the BBC when he shared a closet (broom cupboard) with some stuffed rodent puppet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,002 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I am too busy living my on life to concern myself with someone else who I have never met. He doesn't make comments on mine why should I or anyone else comment on his. What he does if it is legal its up to him. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Centaur 71 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Effeminate men coming out of the closet has become an almost everyday event and only confirms what we already knew. Nowadays there are so many about in all aspects of work and life that the only thing that surprises me is that Leapfrog is not one of the Olympic Games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I find 2 things particularly irritating about this. 1. Oh how brave of him! No it’s not. Soldiers facing hostilities are brave. This is not brave. It seems it was pretty much an open secret for those who knew him. 2. If he’d been cheating with a woman the headlines would be love rat cheats on loving wife of 20 years etc. Not how brave, we’re with you Philip. How he chooses to live his life is his business. If it doesn’t impact on me or my family I don’t care nor do I need to know. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
