h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Major Sam Carter from SG1 - she has lovely eyes!

HonestIago - Thanks for the info on Mr Stipe - it has made my day . It's just that the last thing I read about him in the gay press said that he isn't gay. Mind you, that was a while ago, and I'm terminally vague - or at least I think I might be - so I might not have noticed anything more recent...

He was in Attitude, a British gay mag, this month talking about boyfriends and stuff. Want some more good news? He's single

That's something ... I was intending to buy a gay magazine this week, only I chickened out of it (it's something I've never done before, even though I got some free ones with a "Welcome to Manchester" pack for gay guys). Out of the magazines generally available in newsagents, I'm just wondering whether anyone has a recommendation as to which one to buy?

(Sorry to divert your attention from the game - I promise that normal service will be resumed shortly! )

Moehaha, first time I bought a gay magazine (I was sixteen at the time), it was like, uhm... would I or would I not? I had been turning round in circles in the shop for almost fifteen minutes (I was waiting on a train, so I had time enough)when a guy came in. He was a typical businessman in a suit with a briefcase. He just walked over to the pile of magazines, took one and bought it. I felt REALLY silly, so little time later I took a deep breath and bought my own magazine. Stupid thing is, I haven't really read it. It was a more something I wanted to do (buying the thing), to see if I dared to do something 'openly gay' in public. (I know, kind of ridiculous. I'm walking hand in hand on the street with my guy now. Wiehie, guess that means I grew up a little)

But all in all, I don't think those magazines are very special. A lot of articles about teachers coming out at school, gay artists, some arty-crafty pictures of shirtless guys(to be sure the thing is sold), articles about the 'scene', and so on, yada yada. But just the event of buying the thing made it special at the time.

Diva?

GT is a bit stuffy (been a while since I read it so might be better now)

Attitude is lighter and probably more fun to read. It all depends if you want gay news or gossip or general lyfestyle stuff.

Speckly, Hi. Wasn't there a thing with Pink in Diva or did I not miss anything!!

the gay pubs in Scotland give out free papers - 'the pink paper' and a couple of Gay mags, so do some of the gay shops.

Mr Stipe is single? Must catch plane to US and track him down...

By the way, the main gay magazine here is nice and glossy, a cross between lifestyle, fashion and politics, and it's called 'DNA'. The strapline is 'It's in your genes', and I assume that's meant as a pun.

See you next week...

Ivan.

How about that Mark Owen!

Met him and I don't like him. Lineker on the other hand...

Mark Owen not Michael Owen!

Hehe

Apologies, I just have footballer's on the brain and I like to express my distaste of Micheal Owen at every possible opprtunity so I can jump the gun a little As for *Mark* Owen, Robbie Williams was much fitter

Agreed! Although Mark was certainly more desirable than Gary Barlow ...

Eugh, garry barlow is hideous. Oh and I'd just like to state, for the record, that gareth gates is a complete [insert word from list at bottom]. I was trying to get photo's of various singers for a friends website and that [ditto] was the only person who wouldn't let me get a photo. Misteeq deserve a special mention for being lovely and letting me get loads of pics.





word list:
twat, git, @$$hole, tit, barstewerd, goit, f*ckwit, $h!thead

I think thats incredibly rude.....


How dare you call G*tface gates a singer....
You need talent to be a singer!!!!
All he seems to do is howl other peoples songs, I can do that, its called karaoke!!

*mumbles something about Alan Rickman and runs*

Chester forgotten-his-surname, the lead singer of Linkin Park,

Wait a a minute, you cant have Alan Rickman, he's mine , I clearly staked a claim for both him and Jeremy Irons in post 49.

Slightly OT, has anyone seen the film The Scarlet Pimpernel, not the recent one with Richard E. Grant*, the older one with Ian McKellen in it?





*not sure wheather I would or not, however I do like his predecessor in the blue box Paul McGann
