Agriv8 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Sister in law read it while we were on a family holiday a few years ago. she was either shrieking with laughter or wincing in horror! She couldn’t put the book down until she had finished it in double quick time ! Re the program struggle with the whole gay sex thing but I am just a grey haired old dinosaur so a bit like when the darliks turn up when you were a kid and you have to hide behind the sofa.

Agriv8 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Mrs Agriv8 similar- quote “you can go out and shoot thing” - “but you can watch two actors pretending to have gay sex !” Not really squeamish but the same as James Bond - casino royal with the chair with the hole in and the monkey fist rope - shudder !?! Though the line about the itch …. Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a sculpture, there wasn't actually someone having sex with a goat 😅😅 While everyone watching was probably thinking why? That women was trying to make it sound really normal, we just thought it was very weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter truly hope I have caused no offence . The bully of Grange Hill used to give me nightmares as well ( was bullied as a kid at school ) It’s not that I have led a sheltered life I haven’t ( my shooting buddy older brother is now his older sister! ) but it’s just something I struggle to watch ! Mr Agriv8 is watching another episode now. atb Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your mate possibly needs therapy; does he think he’s going to get infected with gayness? Being homosexual isn’t a lifestyle choice anymore than being heterosexual, or something you can catch. Your mate needs to give himself a good talking to and grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) London Best, many of us value your knowledge and experience across a range of topics, but this is one area where the vast majority do not agree with you. Shooting should be a broad church. You are welcome to your opinions, however most people would rather discuss the merits of the subject programme rather than views of homosexuality.

Townie Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I think it's brilliant. Mrs T has to gear herself up to watch as she takes much of the scenes of medical treatment personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
