Me on slightly crap local news.
Years and years and years ago, when I was living in Portsmouth, I got stopped in the street by a film crew who were asking about what people thought about letting gay men into the Navy. I looked straight into the camera and said something quite witty.

Now, I forgot all about this, as you would, until I got home one day and my flatmate got all excited that I had been on the telly. She had videoed it, showed it to all our friends which was sort of nice.

The station played it all week because I think it was "news" and I guess they didn't have much material to work with.

So Andy, that was my 15 minutes.

But what did you say?
Portsmouth Navy Base... Isn't that the place with that bloody loud siren?

My witty saying
seems to have been lost in the mist of time.

I think I started off by saying that this was more of a human rights issue than an employment rights issue, and that the navy should be open to everyone "irregardless of if they are white, yellow, red, pink or even navy blue." Something along those lines anyway.

I've got a gay navy friend
called Smith. Naval nickname for Smith is "Smudge". And as aforemention he was gay, so his new nickname was...

Smudgepacker.

Genius!
