Let’s hope there’s no such place as Homosexos …

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Having finished my daily dose of the Daily Mash I popped over to BBC News to get the serious news.

Or so I thought.

I thought perhaps the Daily Mash had managed to hijack my browser and spoof the BBC News website somehow when I saw this: Lesbos islanders dispute gay name.  Apparently, the islanders of Lesbos are so outraged by the use of the word lesbian – derived from name of the island thanks to a muff diving poet from the 7th Century BC – that they’re taking a gay and lesbian society to court to try and force them to change their name, claiming that the appropriation of their adjective to refer to ladies who like doing rude things with other ladies is a breach of their human rights.

It’s reassuring to see that with all the problems going on round the world, the inhabitants of Lesbos can still find so much time and energy to devote to such a pointless activity (the legal action, not girl on girl action which is … I’ll stop now).

    There’s a very, very camp irony in the thought of a hairy chested, Greek ‘medallion man’ describing himself as a Lesbian.

    Greece, eh? In the words of Rutger Hauer: If it didn’t exist, you’d have to invent it.
