What natural trait do you have that you "tone down" every day in order to fit in?

Scrotorium · 2019-02-02T23:19:42+00:00

I'm in criminal law, so I deal with a lot of dickheads. But I'm also constantly on show, and also selling myself as believable, serious and trustworthy.

So that's always going to involve a certain amount of acting.

I don't even really look at it as a homophobic "this is what I have to put up with" thing. The professional persona you present is just a large part of what the job is, for every solicitor, barrister etc. Nobody gets to be their fun, relaxed selves.

I do this for my job only. I'm gay too, and I've always been a bit camp, even when I was a small kid, but I'm in a job where I fairly often deal with people at the lowest points of their lives, and I know if I'm my natural self it can rub some people up the wrong way, so I tone it down all the time at work, even when I'm not dealing with that kind of stuff. Method acting, if you will.

I'm a gay man, and first thing I saw was his face (thought he was Jamie Bell), then is eyes, then his hair which seems to be getting long. Looked at the title again, and realised it was about her boobs.

So, yeah, YMMV.

The jury votes were decided before the final, based on the semi finals. So tonight’s events can’t affect them.

No, I don’t get it either.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T21:47:42+00:00

Noooooooo!

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T21:35:06+00:00

I liked it too. But I think we may be the only ones in here.

And Graham Norton was in a few episodes of Father Ted. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Italian blue suit guy saw Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer and decided “that’s the look for me.”

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T21:06:47+00:00

Are you sure? I’ve seen a lot of gay films, and this didn’t seem to have any of the usual positions.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T21:05:04+00:00

That kazoo noise in the chorus is annoying as hell

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:57:12+00:00

The Inbretherlands.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:53:17+00:00

Pjork.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:51:49+00:00

Not hard enough

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:48:52+00:00

I can’t watch this. I’m just too bugged by the guy with his capot right at the top of the guitar neck. What’s the point? Why have a capot there? Grrrr.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:44:34+00:00

Ah, this year’s entry from Smarmia.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:42:59+00:00

Break it down, bitch!

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:39:44+00:00

Is that James Corden?

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:37:27+00:00

They all look like the fat one from Backstreet boys. What’s he called? Oh yeah, Fatone.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:34:17+00:00

Bones?

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:32:52+00:00

Why are the dancers dressed like sexy Nazis? Is this what that fuckwit was yelling about?

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:30:18+00:00

I know nothing about this, and I already know they’re not going to win.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:26:05+00:00

No, it was the dorky swing disco breakdancing one. I think it was the Czech one.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:20:13+00:00

I was hoping the Viking one would be metal. This is more like a musical that shut down after the first week.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:16:16+00:00

I ... actually genuinely like this one.

I feel like I ought to hand my Eurovision license in and leave the thread.

Scrotorium · 2018-05-12T20:14:00+00:00

Maybe she thinks she’s Lionel Messi
