I turn my back for five minutes and the place goes mad. Children, children, please! Anyway, in order:
* Thank you, McJag, yes indeed, I humbly apologise for QEII's hairdresser and will despatch him/her to the US for shooting forthwith. We don't do shooting ourselves (unless you happen to be a pheasant or a fox), but please feel free to make your own arrangements.
* Re Sola's post - I didn't see that coming. But while I consider how best to ask him to marry me (so I can help him prove he's not gay - all in the nature of research for GR, you understand

), Sojiita, it would be really nice if you'd give yourself a day off from all that aggression. It can't be good for your health and I worry about you...
* Sola, I think we're obsessed with gossip rather than orientation per se. Gossiping about celebs is no different from old village gossips chattering to one another over the garden fence about anything different, hidden or mysterious. When everything is entirely open, it soon loses its gossip value. (Hence no-one bothers speculating about Ian McKellen.) It's no doubt as galling as hell, but at least you can laugh all the way to the bank. However, I have two words for anyone who thinks acting in a gay role automatically means you're stuck with a gay label: John. Hurt. (Oh God, please don't tell me I'm wrong about him too!

) But I look forward to the next installment. Oh, and in the meantime, thank you sooo much for defending me - and Sarzy, too.

Bless!
* Grimmlok, you're hysterical. *blows kiss* But Sola is entirely correct. In real English it's sceptic, not skeptic - and it's our blooming language! At least it's the Queen's English. And you lost all your rights to our Lizzy when you dumped all our tea.
