See ya!

Fagburn: Esperanto Forver!

Fagburn decidis preni iun tempon ekstere.

Li nur respondi al personoj, kiuj parolas Esperanton.

Estas tiom da idiotoj.

Fuck off mondo!

'Pri kiuj oni ne povas paroli, gxiaj unu devas esti silentaj.'

Legi Wittgenstein!

Silento!

Fagburn: Like Lazarus I Rise

Fagburn will begin a massive ejaculation of catch-up blogposts later today.
Sorry, been with my brothers in East Ukraine.

Regular viewers may know Fagburn hates people posting and/or tweeting pictures of themselves.

For vanity and the quest for fame are two of the great scourges of our age.

But - hey - this! 

Fagburn: Solipsism

EQ View.

This man sounds like a complete idiot.

Fagburn: Situation Vacant

Fagburn is currently seeking a young gayer off the telly to write a regular column about baking cakes. 

This position is unpaid, but will be great exposure for the selected candidate.

Ability to write inessential.

No fatties, no fuglies pls.

Must bring own flour, sugar and eggs etc.

Fagburn: Silly Season

'Pride Month' (© President Obama) may be over, but we're deep in the Silly Season now, so I'll be posting less frequently for a bit. x

Fagburn: Rumbled!

Pink News. 

Fagburn: Going To A Gay Bar!

Well, it's been quite an exhausting weekend all-round.

So just popping out for a quick Babycham...

PS But hey! Let's not be negative.
This week I listened to this and it was fuck me sideways funny... Incredible Women.
And you can use that quote for the TV pitch.

Fagburn: Musclebound

Another pretty unremarkable day in the papers.
The fitting end to a rather dull week at Fagburn Mansions - sorry.
So me and the girls are off to the gym!
But if you fancy a quiet Sunday afternoon snooze, why not try to read about how formerarchbishopofcanterbury Rowan Williams is still really sorry about the whole gay marriage thing.

Fagburn & Tom: So It's Come To This

Conscious Uncoupling

It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children - Lemonsqueezer and Nebuchadnezzar - and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.

Love,
Fagburn & Tom

Fagburn: 46

Just bringing out my inner flowery Dave Spart.

Camus died at 46.
Gramsci died at 46.
TE Lawrence died at 46.
George Orwell died at 46.
Oscar Wilde died again at 46.

But I intend to carry on for a bit.
(If that's okay with the rest of you, that is).

Pink News: A New Low

So it's come to this...

Sorry, but the stupidity level on this story had threatened to engulf my neck.

Fagburn is particularly fond of this bit - mainly as it contains a two-word quote from The Fall...

The gay public realm has been hijacked by new puritans – bullies, censors, bores.

Bedwetting pearl-clutching fools, desperate to take offence at anything and everything.

I thank you.

Update: Quoted in the Daily Express!!!

Fagburn: A Small Boy Trying To Read In A Bombed-Out Bookshop During The Blitz

This is how Fagburn - in his own humble way - sees himself.

Russia: Oh No It's Not!

David Cameron is not planning to attend the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Downing Street said on Friday, but insisted the move was not a statement about Russia’s stance on gay rights...

The Independent.

That is because it is not a boycott, you fucking idiot. 

The idea attendance or non-attendance is some locus of international gay protest is a media fantasy.

Most world leaders will not be attending the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics for the same reason most world leaders have never attended the opening ceremony of any winter Olympics; it is not a very important event.

Saying some people are not turning up is about as meaningful as saying they are not turning up to the South Devon Tiddleywinks championship.

The Independent's coverage of gay issues is absolutely woeful - any chance in the new year of getting an LGBT story that's not been dashed off by a posh straight intern that knows nothing about it?

Pretty please.

PS Fagburn apologises unreservedly and in advance if anyone saw the disgusting photo above while eating their breakfast. Fagburn is currently in negotiations with BT to allow all subscribers to automatically block photos of David Cameron and any content about "the Conservative lifestyle".

Fagburn: Season's Greetings!

The good gentlemen of the British press appear to have broken up early for Christmas.
I could do lists of lists.
Best-of best-ofs.
A quiz about quizzes.
Or reviews of reviews of the year.
But I think I'll just pop back when I see something interesting.

Goya: Saturn's Sun

This is how I feel right now.
Fagburn is taking Friday the 13th off...

Fagburn: No News Today

Sorry.

Stonewall Awards: Thank You

Regular viewers may recall that Fagburn was nominated for Publication Of The Year in the Stonewall Awards 2013 - the first ever blog to be shortlisted.
Thought I should gratuitously mention this and bang my own gong about these gongs cause I can't see me being similarly honoured by anything in the near future.
Cruelly, I did not win, but such is life.
I was surprised, flattered and touched just to be nominated, though.
Thank you.
That is all.

Fagburn: So It's Come To This...

Stonewall's nominee for publication of the year!
Please ignore anything bad I've said about the Stonewall awards in the past and let Fagburn enjoy his moment in the sun. x

Ironically there's bum-all for your favourite gay Nazi Stalinist apologist blogger to whine about today.
But hello new viewers! *waves*

PPS Me Me MEEEE in the Mirror!

More of the fantastic me from GScene!
Other gay media have prety much ignored the awards.
It's a conspiracy!!!
