Gay abandon
I spent this Christmas at my parent's place and, as is customary at that time of year, was slumming it in front of the TV with various members of the family.

Idly flicking though the channels, up pops an advert for Tom Brown's Schooldays, picturing Stephen Fry with an assortment of young schoolboys.

At this my genius of a stepfather pipes up: "I bet Stephen Fry could hardly contain himself fliming that,"

Mildly confused, I wonder what he means. Of course, knowing my stepdad's tendancy to spout the most ignorant crap, I shouldn't have needed to ask.

"Well, he's gay, isn't he?"

"Erm, yes," I reply. "So...?"

He then proceeds to inform me that all gay men "fancy little boys" and reinforces this arguement by saying: "I went to boarding school, I should know."

Cue a tumbleweed-style silence and much jaw-dropping.

We turned over to the Vicar of Dibley.
