He sounds like someone you could never tire of punching, certainly.
 
I didn't know Clare Balding was gay. She's a bit prone to Gaffes as well, telling one toothless jockey after he'd won a race that he'd be able to afford some new teeth now.

Sadly, this kind of thing from AA Gill is not out of the ordinary. He seems to have a habit of making forthright statements, shall we say. He probably prides himself on 'calling a spade a spade'.

But is there anyone NOT on twitter these days?

You'd have a few fights to get to the front of that queue....

I've fought harder people than AA Gill to get IN TO a fight.
 
My thoughts are that her sexuality does not detract from her work. She has never used the "pink ticket" to gain advantage, and is simply a presenter.

I am quite enjoying the Britain By Bike programme and it is neither improved or diminished by AA Gill's "revelations"

I'm sure 'Andy in Sig' will be along shortly to tell us that dyke is a fine Anglo Saxon word and if we were to follow the enlightened example of Mr Gill and habitually use it to describe lesbians (which of course is a Greek word and as everyone knows, they are swarthy Mediterranean types who sponge off the EU), we would not only reclaim the word so it became stigma free but would probably cure said dykes and return them to the true path of bloke loving righteousness.
 
She's a lady who likes ladies, if that helps. And yes, the teeth thing wasn't clever.

But AA f&cking Gill though! :evil:

So normally Clare Balding doesn't say what she's thinking, except in this case when it accidentally slipped out, thereby betraying a part of her normal thought process and you're villifying AA Gill for saying things as he thinks it. At least I know AA Gill is a muppet, I just suspect Clare Balding is not as nice as she appears. It's just a case of double standards isn't it?
