Never been a fan too plastic and don't really care, wouldn't pay any amount of money to keep her in luxury

This would encompass the 47 yes 47 different types of sexuality now identified. So what chance does good old fashioned hetero have?

These days, not too much.

Totally does my brain in, especially furries. How can you identify as some kind of animal? Might have to request a reply from Joy.

Only trouble with calling yourself a "furry" is that you can't sit down and lick your own fundamental orifice, although I believe the practice of licking someone else's is quite common among members of the queer gang.

Music is a bit like politics and religion, we are all entitled to follow what we like !
I’m a die hard sixties fan of music, it’s what I grew up with and what I still play on an IPod. It would be a sad world if everyone liked the same things !

Then there's the greatest fraud of all. Elvis Presley. The world's first manufactured "star", way before his time. Way ahead of the crass mass produced crud made by Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert and Anthony Callea. All these idle Idol contestants do is "yodel" there way through a song with a 30 second extended version of "AH-ah-AH-ah-AH". And the judges and audience love it.

I would prefer to listen to a Category 5 cyclone....

For some inexplicable reason these "stars" cannot comprehend the difference between singing and shouting - makes it painful to listen to with my new hearing aids!

The Furies are Irish - Dubliners as far as I know

The Furies are a 2000s post punk band from Rhode Island, USA.

The Fureys are an Irish folk band from the 1970s.

There lies the difference.
