Today, a friend and I went again to see the emphatically gay play "My Night With Reg" with its brief full frontal nude scene by two of the actors, Julian Ovenden and Lewis Reeves. But I'd go and see it again even if it didn't contain nudity, the play is just so brilliantly written (by Kevin Elyot who sadly died last year) and exquisitely acted by a pitch perfect cast. The nudity only lasts about three or four minutes three quarters of the way through this two hours play so anyone going just for that would be disappointed if that's ALL they wanted to see. But I defy anybody not to be swept along by the WHOLE play right from the word "go". However, when the nude scene does arrive, it is, I have to admit, breath-taking and today, when Julian Ovenden walked on stage naked, he was semi-hard. My friend and I were in the front row so there was no mistaking that fact. I've seen lots of actors do nude scenes on stage over the years but its always been a prerequisite they remain soft so it was quite a surprise to see this gorgeous actor naked in front of an audience of 775 people with his dick semi-erect. He and Lewis Reeves are both uncut and are PERFECT examples of the masculine form, both in and out of their clothes and they're fantastic actors too - and Julian is also a fine singer who has appeared at several Proms concerts (his clothes firmly kept on) with the fabulous John Wilson Orchestra.
You are lucky to be from the U.K. where there is still artistry in acting. That being said, I wholeheartedly agree; there are so many things in my life that have drawn me in due to the sexuality or promise of hot dick ("things" being an art or a craft). The artists own personal sensuality became a footnote to the beauty of the greater story. Especially a story like this. Of course, at the same time, I've been hoping to see someone write a stage production of Larry Kramer's "Faggots". It's about sex, but it's the story that draws you in. It, also, was the first story to make ME feel "ok". Tee Hee
How does not adding pictures for years differ from a member removing and uploading the SAME 8 to 10 PICTURES over the last 5 years? Where are their "new" pictures?
Something seems to be blocking the thought process of anyone who would think like that. Here's something that might that blockage, prune juice!
Leonard Nimoy lived up to his longtime catchphrase: Live long and prosper. Having achieved success in many arenas during his lifetime, the actor, director, writer and photographer has died at age 83. His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, reportedly confirmed his death to the New York Times, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. --------------------------------------- added after 49 hours
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. “Live long and prosper.”
I was never a "Star Trek" fan, science fiction just isn't "my thing" - give me a good cop show like "The Sweeney" in the 1970s or an historical or psychological drama - but I know millions love it and will be very sad to hear of the death of Leonard Nimoy. I know who he was, of course, and its always sad when somebody so popular passes on. May he rest in peace and my commiserations to his family and friends
For all that didn't know and might care, Da king sent me 7 special "gifts" the other day.
What I found AMUSING about the entire situation was that 3 of his loyal followers came by for a visit within minutes of each other to admire da king's creativity. Guys, guys, guys......are you the folks that gawk at an accident scene or straight up creepers?
This has me curious; why are pictures of urination acceptable yet defecation is taboo. I do not care for either but if anyone knows the answer, please enlighten me.

A report on early morning radio today ran with the story that people living in the County of Worcestershire in England are complaining that double decker buses have replaced single deckers along the road they live on. Since the doubles started, "everyone" on the top deck - according to them - have been having a "good look" into their homes and gardens as the buses go past. The same thing happened here a few years ago when double deck buses replaced single deck ones through a la-dee-dah area of north London, i.e. all those on the top deck were having a "good look" into these peoples' homes as the bus went by. Well, of course we were, I even took my binoculars with me to make sure I got a better look. In fact, I didn't need to be on the bus at all but as soon as I heard there were double deckers, I just HAD to go and have a gander at what these people get up to behind their windows. OK, I'm being sarcastic but, honestly, how more ridiculous and up their own backsides can these people get? One of the women complaining in Worcestershire has cooed "I'm a church warden." So what? What makes her and the others think they are so importanr and interesting that people going past on the top deck of a bus are agog to see what they're up to? Nobody on the bus gives a flying fig about them and their dreary ghastly lives, they're too busy yakking on their wretched mobiles and lost in a world of their own. PATHETIC.
This calls for a "Ride In". That could end the problem! Next Monday 20 of the posh Worcestershire County residents should get on the top deck and ride around aimlessly for a couple hours. Naturally they get dizzy and complain to the Transportation Authority that double decker buses are damaging to health. That might solve the problem!
I've got to go and visit my mum today so I'm going to sit on the top deck of the bus so I can have a GOOD look into all the houses as I go along. Can't wait, I've been awake ALL night looking forward to it
You have decided to sit atop, I am curious, does the temperature that comfortable that it would permit it? *IF* we had double decker buses in Michigan, I cannot imagine anyone riding on the outside during the months of January and February ( probably November, December or March, either.... ). The reason; it is 07:57 and is -13 F!
Just for RM and bella! I have put up a little ditty on the Great Songs Great lyrics .Entitled tranport of delight . lol. About said double decker Routmaster bus . Hold very tight please ting ting
Flanders and Swann, of course, a great comedy song partnership, both sadly no longer with us. My favourite is "The Gas Man Cometh" and it doesn't refer to him wanking! "Slow Train" is another favourite as, of course, is "Oh! What a Transport of Delight". And in reply to you, dear Bella, maybe I should have said I'll be IN the top deck rather than ON, I certainly had no intention of riding on the roof and never have, whatever the weather!!
What makes Worcestershire real estate so pricey? Is it on the Thames? Are the houses that much more expensive than a brick bow front in Chelsea? I would rather have a bow front in Chelsea than a posh landed estate out in Worcestershire. You can walk to the theatres from Chelsea and watch the Guard change at HER house, you know the big one with all the lads marching about! I want to hear what fine things you spy tonight from your second tier perch, mate! Good gosh a glance at the map shows that posh place to be way past Oxford! I bet it is a good 2 hour train ride from Worcestershire to London! Maybe they have hills in Worcestershire...hills are always pricey real estate! I just noticed that the houses in Chelsea sell for a king's ransom....there goes that bright idea!
Hi basque, Worcestershire is the County and Worcester the city within it. Its a Cathedral city and stands on the banks of the river Severn. Property down there is fairly expensive but not as expensive in London. These idiots who are complaining about double-deck buses and that everyone on the top deck is agog to see into their homes and gardens are just pathetic, nobody is interested in them WHATSOEVER. They're just SO UP their own arseholes that, if the truth be known, they WANT people to see their homes and will be BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED when they realise that other folk don't give a fuck. Worcestershire is also a very beautiful County and includes the uplands of the Malvern Hills. The town of Great Malvern was the birthplace in 1857 of the great composer Sir Edward Elgar.
Haha! I had to go back and look at a picture of a double decker bus that a dear friend sent me. I THOUGHT that double decker buses were roof less and riders were enjoying the fresh air. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I bet some members take it for granted that others aren't interested in anything other than "junk, bits and pieces" but it might be nice to post some pics of things or places that they find of interest. C'mon!
Lovely pics, my friend, the red bus is one of London's famous Routemaster buses that I took my SYD ID from --------------------------------------- added after 13 minutes
One of the lines in Flanders and Swann's "Oh! What a Transport of Delight" goes "if tickets cost £1 a piece, why should we make a fuss?" Passengers in London today have a LOT to make a fuss about as it now costs more than DOUBLE that just to go one stop, the most OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE fares in the world. People are having the piss taken out of them because the morons like that Tory oaf Johnson know they can get away with putting the fares up sky-high year in year out as everyone HAS to travel and so have no choice. Bloody politicians, they're all crooks, fiddling their expenses and supporting their tax avoiding friends. If I hear the Tories blame "the mess we're in" on Labour one more time, I shall SCREAM - and when I scream, I scream. So nothing to do with the bankers then, of course not because the sodding Tories are all in their pockets.
I was hoping I could enlarge the pictures to see more detail. ....where is the access to the upper deck. My guess is it would be a circular staircase that would be quite steep.
The regular Saturday morning radio show "Sounds of the 60s" is on now and another late great British girl singer is warbling away, Kathy Kirby and her 1964 revival of "Let Me Go, Lover", originally recorded by Patti Page 10 years earlier. Kathy's real name was Kathleen O'Rourke and she was born in Ilford, Essex but now intinsically a part of Greater London east of the city. R.I.P. Kathy
Looks like it must have been, Bella, and again I don't understand why. All VERY frustrating and annoying, I posted it in response to your suggestion we post pics of what interests us. I'll send you this pic privately along with a few others a.s.a.p.
GAWD! These zero and subzero temperatures have taken their toll on me. I stayed home from work today and have been in bed the entire time.
I have to wonder, what in the heck do cats do during the course of their day? My two guys seem to sl.eep the entire day. Geez, I am glad I'm not a cat.
I wouldn't mind being a cat, just **** all day, all your food provided for you free of charge, no paying rent and taxes, no having to suffer moronic politicians. Sounds like a pretty good life to me, even if it is a short one --------------------------------------- added after 117 seconds
