Just read the story and call bullshit on it. Crucial thing for me is the thing with the American flag and 3 whistles. I reckon he hid in the woods for a while and then put out to sea no more than a week ago.

So, he is 200 miles from land, sitting on the upturned hull of his boat, when a freighter comes sailing by.

And our hero thinks, "hmm, better turn my flag the other way round, in case they think I just like sailing my boat upside down".

And what did he use to fly his flag - did his boat happen to have a flagpole on the upturned hull?

Just as well when his boat sunk he had he good sense to rescue a flag, & not one, but 3 whistles.

"What really happened" casts more doubt on the story as so far told.

Each to his own and all that, but for crying out loud, you wouldn't let your granny(double checked first letter 3 times) go out dressed like that.

I don't know what to make of it really.

I don't have any problem at all with his, or anyone else's sexuality.

The problem I have, such as it is, is that I can't help staring at photos like that, & if I saw him in real life, I'd stare, too. It's like seeing a man with 3 arms, you know you should not stare, but you can't help it.

I went to google images after seeing that, & found dozens of similar photos of him. In fact, he looks quite smart, I think. Certainly far more at ease & natural in his clothes than, say, Sarah Stirk.

It does not disgust me in any way, far from it, I just can't quite fathom it all out. On balance, I quite like it, & him. I do wonder what my Dad or Grandad may have said though.

The times they are a changing.

Do we have any cross dressers on blonde? If there's any 10/1 available, I'll have a fiver on nirvana. He has the perfect cheekbones for it.

I have absolutely no problem with staring at people who intentionally do thing that they know will get them stared at.

Who is it in the picture?

Who is it in the picture?

I can only name the one in the middle, who is Eddie Izzard.

I understand he is a comedian by trade, & an "activist".
