 SWASHBUCKLING MULLIGAN WRITES...

Hi Gene and all readers of your blog. I have had your message Gene and will oblige. It's just that at the moment I am very busy working on a project in Brussels.

In the meantime: we are all aware of the old adage  A PICTURE TELLS A THOUSAND WORDS.

This picture of  Detterling's nephew Cuthbert with his live-in partner Julian certainly does that.

Saint Cuthbert was a wonderful saint from the North-east. I wonder how he would feel about his name featured here?

  1. As ever, ferreting around in what passes for your mind and producing sad and threadbare cliches: “hello sailor” for fuck’s sake. You can’t understand anything outwith your palsied understanding, so you use this hackneyed crap to mock what you don’t understand. How sad.

    As for a picture painting a thousand words, just as well for you, Groper CryBaby, You don’t know a thousand words. Even if you’d have no idea what to with them. A chimpanzee with a computer.

    Do you real believe any of this shit?

    1. Precisely: juvenile, brainless, stereotyping insults - any minute now we'll be hearing about the Judy Garland record colllection.

      Odd how these juvenile insults apply only to the relatives of people to whom you wish to cause pain isn't it, Groper CryBaby?

      But the second that anyone levels equally juvenile insults at a homosexual person you loved, your "searing honesty" kicks in, you start deleting posts, the free speech you claim to treasure suddenly becomes your freedom exclusively as well as being a freedom to say whatever you like without having to justify or apologise for a syllable of it.

      Let all that be as it may, Groper CryBaby, I have done with you.

      You are the most pitiable of all human beings, an intelligent man who has decided to be stupid, a man who professes the Christian faith with a vicious intolerance of those who profess it differently from you, an advocate of free speech who has not the least idea of how his own bigoted intolerance mocks those pretensions, a man whose incapacity for introspection is - for which he should thank the god disgraced by his allegiance - the only quality that prevents him from realising what a disgusting human being he has become.

      Enough: I have done, Groper CryBaby.

      I regret every single moment that I have wasted in posting on this blog, this monument to your bloated ego, this disgrace to common decency, this depraved travesty of the process of civilised debate and above all its monumental indecency as the most thorough betrayal of the Christian virtues of charity, humility and tolerance since Judas Iscariot kissed his Lord at Gethsemane.

      You not only stink out the internet, Gene CryBaby; you stink out the world and the human race.

      God rot you.

    2. To save you the trouble, Groper CryBaby:

      Ooh! Matron!

    3. Just what you always say, Gene!

      When the going gets tough, Detterling gets going!

  4. I would just like to say how much I love that picture of Cuthbert and Julian. As the young people in recent years were wont to say: 'How gay is that!
