Madonna, Kylie, Marc Almond, Bronski Beat, Liberace, Glee, David Bowie.

All utterly fucking shit and without merit. Discuss THAT, shirters.

I once saw David Bowie on Later...
I think it was about 1995.
He did my head in and he seemed to be going on forever. I thought the programme would never end. By the time it did, I was half asleep, and I said to my ex "Has he gone yet?" and then I invented this whole scene where the BBC globe came on, and spinning around sitting on top of it like The Thinker was Bowie, smoking, and he turns to the screen, and says, in total camp mockney "Alright? Would ya like a ponce of me ciggy?" We LOLed all night and for days after.
