Is intolerance getting worse on GN?

Our idols often turn out to have feet of clay don’t they? In the past they weren’t often found out but in today’s world there’s nowhere to hide.

Now, the burning question of the day…does Rod wear a wig?🤔

C'mon. He's an Essex guy! Hair transplants and cosmetic procedures! 😆

Lets defuse this: ( I say this not out of fear of your threats

Oh my god you’re getting worse.
I have not threatened you. I have told you I am reporting your posts.
Can you please leave this in the hands of HQ.

Blimey😄😄😊.

kitty your point has been well and truly made!!

Yes, the days when stars could hide their sexuality or pay off people they’d abused are over, fortunately. Having every detail of their lives pored over, and exposed to public view is not always a positive thing though.

Having been up close to him, if he has had any procedures (which I doubt) they were not successful.

Not a good look to bring up old grudges on threads and ATAAT isn’t going to last long.

Excuse me? I didn’t bring it up. Someone else did, and her recollection of it was criticised by someone who suggested I was ‘uppity’ and had angered a group of posters. I reacted to that post.

Why are you getting involved if it’s such bad form?

I don't like Rod Stewart but find myself dancing around to Maggie May and love I am sailing.
I'm alright if I don't actually have to see him.

And, Stenders was good last night - 2 episodes!

Rod has some good songs, I agree. I hate Sailing though .

Lucky you, up close! I never bumped into him in Epping l, although M & S foodhall usually has a few celebs lurking! Xx

I've got sooo much to catch up on - no English TV here for weeks.
Hope Nigel is OK.

Not wanting to get involved in the ‘discussion’ upper thread, but just asking for a friend🤔 … is referring to someone as a ‘righty’ deemed a personal attack?

I love Rod Stewart, his older songs are often poignant and he’s not an Essex Boy (even though he lives there), he’s a Londoner through and through with a Londoner Mum and a Scottish Dad.

No more than being called a “leftie”

That was to lizzie

There’s always someone who is offended by something and they have to be loud about it rather than just thinking it.

We recently went to a fun day which was packed and had a great music line up including a group of local men singing sea shanties. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and they got great applause. A woman walked past and said very loudly “I was enjoying the day until that last song which was SO misogynistic.” Someone pointed out that those old sea shanties have been around for centuries.

I thought Rod was from Essex too. Didn't know he was a Londoner. Talking of Essex reminded me of David Essex and one of my favourite songs It was only a winter's tale.

Yes.

He lived next door to our very good friends, then sold his house to a footballer.

Thanks WW and Cossy.

That’s what my friend thought😉

Yeah, you know what I mean. He lives in Essex. Has done for ages.
I'm an honorary Essex girl (10+ years of my life!)

He lived 2 doors from me in Queen Anne's Place, Enfield. I got around the districts!
