I prefer to think of him as a genius of mad and disturbed sexuality.

Oh blimey, everyone's gone all confessional on me.  It's funny how we
seem to be capable of discussing fairly personal things with people
who are, let's face it, virtual strangers.  I'm not complaining, it's
just funny.  Sorry, I've always been so boringly sure of my
inclinations, even when it seemed that everyone around me was rushing
out of the closet, with a wink and a 'Tag's next'.  It never happened,
Nastassja Kinski always beat Alain Delon (not literally, of course,
though that's a fascinating thought).  At the end of the day, facial
stubble just doesn't float my boat.

David, are you really being honest when you say you never think about
attractive/unattractive?  It's a very nice thought, but I'd be lying
if I said looks weren't important (at least to begin with.  The great
thing is how unpredictable everyone's taste is (myself included).  You
know those sprawling late-night converstions when you discuss 'your
type' and next week you meet someone who just doesn't conform to it at
all.

One interesting thing is how girls have no problem saying that another
girl is lovely, while boys will skirt the issue.  I'm speaking very
generally of course, but it's kind of sad.  I remember when I was at
school doing one of those 'socio-personal studies' in the 6th form,
and talking about homosexuality, and the teacher asking everyone what
they thought about it, and being called a poof for ages afterwards cos
I just shrugged my shoulders and said it was no big deal.  I hope that
didn't sound like 'oh I'm so liberated', it was just a story.  Just
like my strange evening in a bar in Berlin called Cafe Anal (!).  At
least one person on the list knows this story) but for the rest of you
- hey! that's for another time.

Velour hats though....is that a giveaway?  I never knew that. 
Like 'oh he's got his right ear pierced, he's...(nudge, nudge)...you
know' when you were at school).

Blahdeblahdeblah....

Love
