If this was 1985, the Islamic Revolution still doing its bit I'd be worried about Iranian zealotry mixing with plutonium however Iran is to Islamic extremism what the Soviet Union circa 1970 was to global communism, a bureaucratic state spouting a radicalism it has no interest in practicing. The Islamic Republic is…

English people don't go round calling people Oriental in polite conversation, at least I've never heard it in my 26 years being an English guy and I've encountered plenty of weird bigotry. Just like calling someone coloured or a Chinaman its not racist per se but its not polite either. We might call them East Asians…

Aye. Ten years ago online dating was a cheap joke about shut ins and perverts (regardless of whether it was deserved). Now, I think I'm the only one of my mid-20s friends who hasn't used online options (because I'm a luddite) and most of them have had or are still in serious relationships that came about through it.…

As others have said take it easy, be safe and understand you learn as you go ie don't beat yourself up if you have a crummy date. On the more specific "bi guy dating guys" front, I would say I've had one too many instances of biphobia from gay men ranging from mocking my "denial" of myself to getting angry I hadn't…

I will end up asking him about it because I'm quite the raconteur/chatty drunk but I know he's edgy about sex in general. It could mean anything but thought I'd take advantage of the thread as me and him have all the same friends so I wouldn't want to spill his confession without knowing his motivations. Thanks for…

The ergonomics of your avatar suddenly make perfect sense. Though the first time I saw it, I took the ears for arms and assumed it was some bizarre gnome-troll. TBH I can't really unsee it.

Good point though I wouldn't have gone through with it. I've had bad experiences with FWBs (and his gf was one of the most tedious people I've ever met). I'm more intrigued if his drunken confession was an indirect way for an uptight bro to mention he was curious or I'm simply complimenting my exotic bisexual allure.

Here's a something for all the Randy Savages out there: I'm an openly bi guy and a hetero guy friend of mine recently told me in a drunken confession that a couple of years ago he and his girlfriend (now ex) had planned to ask me for a threesome but chickened out. My friend, despite becoming more comfortable about it…

A few years back, chronically unemployed I'd taken to doing some cash in hand work for a friend of a friend (painting, gardening etc.). He paid well enough and even threw in a little weed, lovely. Then one day he asked if i'd like to make some "real" money, driving with him down to London to pick up some stuff. I…

Honestly, yes. Last time he was at home he left a grilled cheese sandwich inside the new fusion reactor or something. That's our Rusty!

Pretty sure the Senior's fate remains a mystery, though I'm assuming he either left for some pulpy reason or Rusty's incompetence killed him.

Oh Gary, stop acting you haven't tapped that. And by that I mean both of them. Some might have forgotten your Jet Boy Jet Girl reference but I most certainly have not.

This is the film where we see Val Kilmer violently transmogrify into a pig monster, yes? If so cheers for the wet bedsheets Ron.

I know I did. *reverts baseball cap*

In the primordial past before ideas of equality were a big thing I think it was called "minding your own business".

I remember reading a study that cult members are more likely to be well-educated and relatively affluent. They are more open to new ideas and their financial security means their worries tend to be focused inward towards 'spiritual' questions. A working-class Catholic is used to high concepts being served at him by a…

I'm stuck in the middle. I find this kind of chin stroking fun but if someone told me to write an article like this I'd say "no way, everyone would call bullshit". It's interesting but paper thin.

"After all, his throwaway comment about the Communists reading too much Marx would fit right in with the McCarthy witch hunts." - What a bizarre example to pick. He's referencing how M-19 is led by a professor and made up of middle-class graduates, y'know the book-learning got them excited so they ran off to the…

Can he outrun Gay Thoughts?

Are they hiring?
