Re: Rwanda flight
#31 I always thought it was consuming large amounts of cottage pie preferably not in the gents , why they should call it gents when there are so few around beats me. I prefer the trousers and skirts sign of long ago, though that today wouldnt mean anything as more and more Scotsmen now wearing kilts , boys and girls means nothing as the kids don’t know what they are either. Maybe we are stuck with Uni. JS
#32 you should have just claimed the 5th amendment Marian, and if not the right one plenty more to choose from. JS

Re: Rwanda flight
If true he is not the first to be accused of such.
Many years ago Cliff Richard was accused of same in a gent toilet, real name in those days, in Brighton.
I have no idea if true but the story certainly had legs.
Then when being a Homosexual was no longer an offence under British Law it was reported at the time in the press that one MP who had voted against the legislation was caught in a compromising situation in a Hyde Park toilet with a Guardsman.
Many such stories have eventuated over the years, but where there is smoke there is fire.
At secondary school we had a physical education teacher, good guy who taught us well.
Sadly he passed rather suddenly and we found out he was the partner of the local what was known in those days as the ;rag and bone man'.
How did we progress from Rwanda to gay men???????

I do recall this incident in the News of that time,cant recall the actual Yaer though, when he was Harry R Webb.
The case was never proven, and Cliff never had to appear in a Court as far as i am aware of?? May be mistaken.
Yes there has been a lot of talk about him reagarding his Sexuality, but of the many reports he is just one Lad that never got real interested in a special Girl, he was never Gay as far as i know! Others may disagree! Each to his own though!
A great Entertainer througout, and a real Gentleman.

Re: Rwanda flight
#38 Every girl I went out with was special , they must have been to go out with me , they should really have seen a special (ist) to see if their brain was still there. My brother is 69 and never been married , don’t think he ever will now , when I asked him why not he said he couldn’t afford it. He lives in a 3 bedroom house by himself and I know he has various visitations by various lady friends , I am tempted to look through the keyhole at times , but can’t do that To my brother . It would just cause me to have more Shame. And I’m getting rather old to carry such a load JS

Re: Rwanda flight
hi graham #38
good morning , i believe that the very saintly, vertuous and moral and righteous sir cliff richard is living with his saviour the once catholic priest from i believe america and therefore must be taking a lot of holy orders together with a serving of holy communion every sunday morning,
i myself couldnt care less what he gets upto, its just the sanctimonious preachers ( which i dont believe he is one ) that stood up in parliament and changed the laws to accept marriage between the sexes, when most of them are regularly caught out eating their cottage pie, as for blair nothing is a surprise of his character,

Re: Rwanda flight
Maybe then they would have had trouble on deciding what to give him to satisfy his vanity a night hood, or a dame hood , to cover it , but there is always a chance they may bring up a new honour a tart hood .this just maybe more appropriate . And call it the Order of the suspender and work in the cottage pie in the jewellery work. JS
