| 790299 | 2009-07-09 11:15:00 | Anyone want a bit of Brokeback Banjo? I wonder if Inside Man was part of the nights viewing |

| 790300 | 2009-07-09 19:24:00 | The defence case was that the 31-year-old accused was provoked by two unwanted sexual advances by Mr Brown, who was gay, and that attention, and the effects his drink being spiked, caused him to act in an involuntary way where he wasn't in control of his actions. I would like to see what a medical report would have said regarding the drink being spiked... |

| 790302 | 2009-07-09 23:35:00 | Looks similar to the Weatherstone case so be interesting to see if the end result is similar. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 790303 | 2009-07-09 23:42:00 | Looks similar to the Weatherstone case so be interesting to see if the end result is similar. Hmm. On the one hand: Hungarian visitor wanting English language practice meets gay man in pub, goes home with him for said "practice" and gets nervous when the inevitable advances occur. Loses it, smashing the old man with a banjo and feeding him the neck of the instrument (Freudian?). On the other hand: highly intelligent academic has torrid affair with young, attractive and promiscuous girl, breaks off the affair three times in six months, feels belittled. Loses it and stabs her 216 times (unintentionally). Apart from the 'losing it' part, I don't see too many similarities... |

| 790305 | 2009-07-10 00:29:00 | ^^ Exactly! If a woman was drugged, and was made advances at and did the same as this guy, it would be perfectly fine. If not you'd have a hundred women somewhere protesting to this kinda thing. Feel sorry for the guy to be honest. Does give a new meaning to "deep throat" though. lol |
