Take That: "Which One's Gay?"

"Opening night, opening night
Take That are back and everyone wants to know
Which one's fat
Which one's thin and
Which one's gay
I don't know but my money's on Jay
I just had some coke and slept with a whore
But hey, I'll be OK
That's what super injunctions are for"

Professional cheeky chappie Robbie Williams raps at the first night of Take That's big comeback/reunion tour - which is getting some rather over-the-top reviews.
"It felt like that almost mythical event: a once in a lifetime pop experience" panted Dave Simpson in The Guardian.
Yes dear.
The cheapest tickets for their upcoming dates at Wembley Stadium are a snip at £57.

Update: Just finished trawling through the Sunday papers, it appears there is fuck all news today. Sorry.

Brokeback Mountain: Bad Romance

"Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger’s rodeo romance in Brokeback Mountain has been voted film fans’ top on-screen love affair.
"The gay cowboys beat the bunny-boiling fling ­between Michael Douglas and Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction into second place.
Controversial romp Lolita – about a man’s obsession with a schoolgirl – was third, with Julia Roberts’ hooker date with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman fourth.
"Star-crossed lovers Romeo & Juliet’s doomed crush made it to number five in the poll by DVD rental service Lovefilm.
"Steamy flicks Notes On A Scandal, Disclosure, The Graduate, Match Point and Unfaithful made up the rest of the top 10 in the love flick stakes.
"Fliss White, of Lovefilm, said: “From under-age encounters to love triangles, we are definitely a nation which loves a scandal.”"

The Daily Mirror.
Dutifully cut and pasted by Jonny Payne at The Pink Paper.

Actually Lovefilm's poll was of "The top ten film affairs in need of a super injunction."

Here they are:

1.Brokeback Mountain (22 per cent)
2.Fatal Attraction (18 per cent)
3.Lolita (13 per cent)
4.Pretty Woman (12 per cent)
5.Romeo & Juliet (nine per cent)
6.Notes on a Scandal (six per cent)
7.Disclosure (five per cent)
8.The Graduate (four per cent)
9.Match Point (three per cent)
10.Unfaithful (two per cent)

Superinjunctions: Ever Got The Feeling You Missed The Point?

As of today you have no right to privacy.
I don't know about you, but I don't want anyone to have "the right to know" who I shagged last week.
Well done the world of stupid!

Andrew Marr: Abnormally Large

“The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It’s a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people.
“It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias.”

Andrew Marr, quoted in The Daily Telegraph.
Marr said this in 2006, but it was good of the Telegraph to bring it up today.

• For the record on Superinjunctions, like many people Fagburn feels rather conflicted by the competing freedom of the press and freedom from the press. Superinjunctions seem only to be used by the super rich - but Fagburn can think of many tabloid intrusions into gay mens' lives - most callously reports they have HIV/Aids - that I wish could have been stopped from appearing in the papers...
