british men wearing pinky rings?

[Carmel]

My father has always worn one and he's not gay and he's married so a bit stupid saying that. Although a lot of men seem to wear them now. Must ask my dad who is 74 is he gay and did he really marry my mum

What I actually quoted from Wikipedia was:

often by men who have no intention of marrying or are homosexual

You still quoted it Dame starry, (Homosexual) meaning gay and Have No intentions of marrying meaning not married or not willing to. Same thing

[jamesharris]

several screen incarnations of the Saint have worn them

But the emphasis was on often, meaning some, not all people wearing such rings are gay. It doesn't mean that all men who wear such rings are gay.

All poodles are dogs but not all dogs are poodles

I didn't point out that a number of gay men have married and have fathered children

What about wearing an ear-ring in the left ear..... or was it the right........ Important not to get it the wrong way round I should think. So much ettiquette. It's like dancing in the dark!

In the mid 80s gay men used to put a handkerchief in the back pocket of their jeans to indicate that they were 'available'.

I always wondered what the hankie sticking out of your back pocket was for Steve now we know. You set your self up here Steve for a ribbing.

Been watching 'Cruising' lately Bats?!!

Here's a link to the 'Hanky code'........I'm no prude, but some of the 'Activities' listed are ones even I've never heard of (or imagined!)

It was on TV the other week! I'd not seen it before, a real period piece. Do you remember the dreadful John Hurt/Ryan O'Neal film Partners?

I can't say I've ever hear of 'Partners' Bats!.........but as you say, if it's 'dreadful' then I'll give it a miss!

As for 'Cruising', there didn't really seem to be an ending, just a Boat on a River, or maybe I'm missing something?

I actually only watched about an hour of it. The awful script and relentless noise of the clubs he frequented finally killed it for me. It just seemed to meander around with nowhere really to go. I am not surprised the ending was 'ambiguous', the writers had probably run out of ideas by then.
