I am in my mid-60s and have never done so.
It is possible as a male not to engage in what I would regard a puerile, and to women inappropriate, behaviour, whatever one's age. [Post edited 2 Dec 2024 10:00]

I picture him in a lair, like an evil genius, stroking a pack of hobnobs, with a wall of screens showing everything from all media. We are but a small cog in his machine. |  |

There are some that defend which is a bit strange but my point is why has it taken to a media pile on to get to this point for the police to do anything (as yet, I don't think he has been arrested/charged).
I get there are issues around reporting crimes of this nature but it doesn't sit right with me when everyone chips in as it kind of dilutes what has actually occured, not to mention if this was reported 19 years ago, behaviour would have stopped or he would have been convicted/arrested.
I dunno, trial by opinion and media just doesn't sit right with me. Are we basically saying that someone can claim something as material fact, post it out there and see what happens. I mean to take this to the extreme, what if he never faces any civil or criminal proceedings and tops himself? [Post edited 2 Dec 2024 10:50]

We were commenting on what was known at the time. This story in The Sun was posted last night at 10pm, it's the first I, and I assume others, have seen of it.
We've clearly spoken about sexual jokes.
Touching, if true, is an entirely different matter. |
The point still applies, partly because the “saucy bantz” often accompanies – and normalises – this behaviour. |  | | |

In some of these cases, it’s taken one courageous person to speak out in public, and for that to be widely read/heard, for others to acquire the confidence to speak out too, because all too often in the past either victims were not believed or were dismissed.
There’s also the point of the pressure of individuals wanting to keep their jobs, knowing that if they spoke out they might well be silently blacklisted within an industry.
Kirsty Allsopp spoke about both those things in yesterday’s interview, and also of how ashamed she felt at not saying anything at the time until ‘triggered’ by Kirsty Wark’s public revelations to speak out in support of her and potentially others. Ie not a ‘pile on’, just one revelation giving other individuals the confidence to come forward. | |

I have informed my lawyers of the wholly in accurate claim I have Sun alerts switched on. Was mentioned on Radio Four, obviously. |  | | |

I think that's right. I think it's tough for people to come forward as the first individual in any circumstance, particularly when it's someone in a position of power or celebrity. When someone does speak up, then the dam breaks, so to speak.
Having said that, Reus is right to feel that trial by media can be damaging if the individual is innocent, and we have seen situations where people have had accusations laid against them and ultimately been found not guilty of those charges, whether legal, moral, ethical or whatever. | | | |

We can’t be too far away from Russell Brand baptising Gregg Wallace in the Thames to wash away his sins. |
You can guess the narrative in these sorts of situation, can't you. A few weeks of protesting innocence, then the furore dies down, then whoever it is returns on GB News or a YouTube channel claiming what they did was fine anyway and it's political correctness gone mad/insane wokery at work once again. Next, Jim Davidson with the weather. | | | |

On LBC this morning some people managed the duel narrative that he hadn't really done anything wrong, and it was typical of the BBC to continue to employ him despite knowing what he had been up to. |  | | |

Your general premise is correct but this did come about as a result of a BBC News investigation, and presumably they wouldn't have run with it if there was not something in it. [Post edited 2 Dec 2024 11:58]

A few of my colleagues are over there now - all expenses paid.
They are planning the Bangkok New Year fireworks display which they are firing for the Thai government. My mate is firing some sequences from a big skyscraper. Feck that, you can count me out! He sent me the below images.

One time I was there i stayed at a hotel that had an infinity pool on the rooftop - was a 30 floor hotel or something. Was quite daunting swimming up the edge and looking over! |  |

Blimey, that's astonishing and quite unusual. Never, in your entire life, have you told a joke of a sexual nature. Extraordinary.
Regardless, my point was sexual jokes aren't necessarily sexual harassment. Would you not agree? [Post edited 2 Dec 2024 10:21]

I think it is inherent in me, but I have also never had as friends people who tell such jokes.
Context is everything, and the person to judge is the victim, but whatever the categorisation of Wallace's behaviour, it is totally inappropriate in a work place environment. | | | |

Nip down to Nana Plaza |
Actually i did, recently. Not for the reasons you might expect!
I had to go to the Trendy building to replace my passport, it's in Nana. I went by BTS and when walking downstairs to the pavement, i was confonted by 2 elderly ladyboys sitting with their legs wide open, and their tackle hanging out.
You have been warned Blueas;) I've been to Soi Cowboy, but not for a long while. These are tourist traps and way overpriced for drinks etc
I now stick to tried and tested methods  |  | | |

Re your second para - absolutely agree, have always been totally opposed to kangaroo courts, these days often occurring as trial by social media.
Shoulda said that in my previous post there;'s clearly a difference between that & individuals speaking out publicly in a manner that encourages other victims to come forward who'd previously been too embarrassed to, thought they were the only one etc. Unfortunately that often does then often lead to blurring of lines & kangaroo courts esp on social media - which obviously generally needs far better regulation (I don't mean TWTD). | |

that's different from anything i'd seen reported before - i agree that takes it up a notch or two in terms of the seriousness of the allegations. touching and making sexualised comments about / at individuals is different to, and significantly more serious than, general crude jokes which is all i had seen reported before. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

The BBC is literally part of govt. (though it has editorial independence) -
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/bbc#:~:text=BBC%20is%20a%20public%20
Tonight's, & the other remaining shows in this series, are going ahead out of respect to the contestants, apparently. They were already showing on iPlayer anyway. I'm guessing the viewing figures will never have been so high ... | |

I took the family once to a massive high rise hotel in Bangkok.
There were uncovered electric wires sticking out from the wall. I was glad to leave.
Don't like Bangkok tbh. |  |

I was talking to a couple of Tesco workers yesterday morning about this,both females in their 60s they said ‘you should hear what we talk about in the stock room and the banter we have with each other’.
I am a big fan of the Carry On films,I also like On the buses that sort of humour,where as someone a third of my age would probably find some of the things they say and do is a bit risky.
History innit,you can’t change what has gone before you.
BTW I don’t particularly like Greg,I find him a bit to mouthy for my liking. |  |

Seems you are completely missing the point over Wallace's actions, words and debate if you're likening it to consensual store room banter and your love of Carry On films. |  | | |
