I may have joined in such activities, if that’s what you are implying 😳😉

I may have hosted an envelope writing party with drinks and snacks, and a trip to the local postbox the next morning.

This reminds me of when the guy who owns Stagecoach ran his homophobic campaign about 25 years ago. Had a freepost address for fellow homophobes to contact him. Lots of gays posted him literally thousands of empty envelopes (usually stolen from workplaces) and ran up a massive bill.

It’s like when he said he wanted to help end homelessness…through media stunts and photo-ops. Not one penny of his huge wealth was used to do so, though.

I had an odd experience there. I was convinced she didn’t sing Being Alive, even though I sat through it. I was 100% her last song was “Somewhere” from WSS. I commented as much and my companion corrected me. I hadn’t had a drink, I don’t think I dozed off. I absolutely have a false memory of it!

David Dale also did several stage musicals in drag in the 80s, he also directed and starred in a production of Boys In The Band long before the Broadway revival and film! A very talented and funny guy

Sorry, but what the actual fuck is that?

That’s a lot of fucking word salad to basically say “I’m not racist but…”

I fell in love with her in Candleshoe, with Helen Hates and David Niven in 1977. I was 7.
I still rate The Brave One (2007) as one of the best films ever made.
