I don't doubt your courage captain but i'd doubt you'd say that to his face. I hear the ww2 gas masks are now totally unsafe for use. Death by shhittbreath would be an ignominious way for you to go.

What's the problem with rating Eubank and Benn higher than Hatton? Surley not much in it, all two weight champions with a few good names on the resume, but not quite elite level.

Hopefully Herman has enough of that anger and disdain for me and captain to share it between us. It's like when you're at school and a really unattractive girl fancies you - you're not interested, but yet you somehow still don't like it when she forgets you and moves on to your mate!

Maybe we've been reading it wrong and its not herman but "her man" and thus begrudges you your successful evasion of her attentions. I have a vision that you may spark a antihomosexual backlash when you say "don't hate the player hate the game" on the podcast in your accent

Had a chap at work who liked me. Hadn't known he was, you know, until I mentioned how friendly he was being and what a nice guy he was to a colleague. To cut a long story short he asked me out for a drink one lunchtime and (on advice from a mate) I deliberately spent the whole time talking about birds in the office i would 'do'. He didn't really speak to me again after that and I kind of miss the attention now.

Are you really that insecure that you can't go out for a drink with a gay person without talking up your 'manliness'?

I suspect you have some issues that you'd rather keep buried, seany.

Could keep a half decent therapist in work for a year trying to unpick the issues in that one.

Nah just not met many. In fact only met a few recently through missus's work mates. Find them very exciteable and don't really like commotion. Anyway, nothing wrong with setting out the lay of the land early doors.

As a nation the The British have a soft spot for camp behaviour. It's part of their culture.

The French refer to the "English Disease" and they aren't talking about football hooligans.

Well that's the point, superfly - the French do indead speak of "la maladie anglaise", or English disease, but they are also referring to syphilis, rather than homosexuality. Think that other languages ascribe it to Spain, so it's a goodold universal thing. Enjoying the turn that this thread has taken!

We had to move it on, otherwise Herman would eventually discover most people had Calzaghe above Froch. As Chris can testify this rarely ends well.

I can't claim any particular knowledge about this but I did work with a French colleague who refered to the "English Disease" as a homosexual term. Maybe like AIDS there were greater instances of syphilis amongst homosexuals, I don't know.

He also called the English "Roast Beefs" which I told him didn't sound like much of an insult. His response was they call us "Frogs Legs". I'm guessing these names developed in less sophisticated times.
