    However, what you are doing is taking one little reference I made about my small group of friends and assuming that I'm talking about the general population. I'm not. So I don't see how I'm being naive.

    Sounded like a generalisation to me, and I wasn't correcting you, just saying that there might be a bigger picture that you're missing. Anyway, like I said, this is a pretty silly conversation!

    The "naive" comment really pissed you off didn't it? :P

    Well I was talking specifically in relation to my group of friends, not making a broad generalisation of an entire social class... however I'd much rather a Kat Slater (complete with the dirty laugh) in the bedroom for hanky panky than Hyacinth Bucket....

    What about a Kate Middleton vs a Patch Butcher?

    I remember hearing that the actress who plays Pat Butcher bats for the other side, so, in keeping with the lesbian theme, how about Pat Butcher Vs Claire Balding?

    I heard her partner was Moira Stewart?

    Actually, this is quite apropos...

    I think its hilarious that a Soho pub felt the need to ask a gay couple to stop snogging...

    There are few things hotter than seeing two girls kissing. I do't have to be immediately attracted to them. They're girls, they're kissing, I will be.

    As for Pat Butcher vs Kate Middleton. (Assuming Pat was straight)

    There's a reason she used to be on the game.... :wink:

    I've been nagging the Mrs to go since we first got together, but she won't let me anywhere near it. Says it's for one thing, and one thing only! :shock:
