Come down to the boathouse, dear Sir

It is LGBT+ History Month here in the UK!

I'm on the hunt for interesting events to attend this month - but in the meantime, here's the irrepressible Steve Hayes aka "Tired Old Queen at the Movies", with an all-time gay classic (and favourite of mine):

Tired Old Queen at the Movies - Maurice

One of the sexiest films ever made...

More Maurice

(Posh) Totty of the Day

Accompanied by another motley crew of assorted "names" including Otis Redding, Julia Sawalha, Topol, John Curry, Rachel Hunter, Colonel Sanders, Michael Bublé, Tom Wopat, Captain Bligh, Gok Wan, Margaret Tyzack, Natasha Kaplinsky, Adam Sandler, Cardinal Richelieu, Janet Fielding, Arthur Freed, Haley Reinhart and Leo Tolstoy, Mr Hugh Grant, stirrer of many a loin during his heyday in the 1980s and 90s, is (gulp!) sixty years old today!

By way of a celebration, how about a snippet of the great man's - ahem - "pop career"?

Hugh Grant - PoP! Goes My Heart

Many happy returns, Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9th September 1960)

PoP-py day

In the extensive gardens of Dolores Delargo Towers... the poppies have arrived!

To celebrate, let's - ahem! - have something poppy. Groan.

It's the lovely Hugh Grant, and his one-and-only appearance as part of "80s band" PoP...

Hugh Grant - PoP! Goes My Heart

It's a fantastic spoof, of course - from the film Music and Lyrics (2007). No, I'd never heard of it, either.
