Nobody then, nobody now.
Huh? But Mr David is either giving it to his wifeband or taking it. A description of bumpal seems reasonable to me...
No no no he thought Mrs Furnish was being referrred to as Aloo Dhal; a gloopy, thick, pungent substance that gives you the shits after encountering it...
When you were on here under different logins Unclebullshit, were you ever funny? Just trying to work out who from the past might have morphed into such a sanctimonious cunt.
Probably got taken off because some lackey at HM Towers thought you meant Elton's Bhopal. He may be embarrassing, but call the over-botoxed David a scandalous industrial accident and you're in for trouble.
i made a lovely comment on here yesterday but it was taken off because i refered to david furnish as eltons bumpal.....it was only an affectionate dig at them.....
Yeah thanks for the info but I've been around here for years under various log-ins, so I'm well aware of that. I'm no fan of Gately or Boyzone but the tired and tediously inevitable rent-a-cynicism is fucking boring. I could write pages on this but the clueless saps on here will always be fucking clueless, so why bother? Acting like a kid on here is fair enough but actually thinking like one is just embarrassing, especially for people who like to see themselves as intelligent adults. Its not about respecting Gately's memory, its more about people thinking they're being sharp when they're just dumb as fuck.
unclebullshit....you should of seen the comments a few years ago before HM sold out....alot more near the knuckle then the one above
Take no notice. You are certainly growing on me.
I wonder if Brian got Kerry to supply the buffet from her Iceland leftovers
Vanessa Feltz was there!? I bet there was a fuck of a race to the buffet table.

Kicker isn't it, Mr HM, when you have to report celebrity news that involves a death? Because you lay your site open to soi-disant edgy types who think this sort of thing is funny.
Well done with the P.S. no-one would have realised you were attempting sarcasm without it.
You fucking Bob Seger cunt.
Yeah, just look at their faces! Pure avarice, they're clearly loving every minute.
P.S. You're a twat.
