How cool is this guy ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-33741380

Every year, he takes part in the Pride Parade ... on his mobility scooter !!

He carries a banner saying " I'm the oldest gay in the village".

In the past, he has been given a criminal conviction for being gay. This weekend, he married his BF, to coincide with Pride Weekend.

That's the way to go when you're in your 90s!

Sqad - //You now andy, just before i pressed the submit button to my post i hesitated for a moment........" Blimey, this will set the old wind bag going again" but like a fool, I pressed that button. //

Less of the old thank you!!! LOL!

And beware of admitting that you are simply posting in order to upset someone, that is trolling, and someone has already been suspended for that today - on this thread.

So anyway, George Montague has this mobility scooter, and ...
Hope he and his partner went on Honeymoon rather than reading this Jayne.
They had a lovely time but when they came home this thread was still going.....not that it bothered Jj and Gness....they were at the spa with Sandy.....♥
Question Author
Mamya ... he is permanently on Honeymoon ... he lives in Brighton !!

He had pride of place (ha ha, geddit!) in the Parade on Saturday.

Actually, he's not completely immobile. He's quite spritely, for a man of his age. But his little scooter has just become so iconic. Everyone loves him.
Sounds a real character , bet it was great.
JJ don't say that, you'll have another 400 posts arguing that he shouldn't have a scooter! ;o)

/// Comedy gold!! ///

Oh so you think so do you, as I have remarked before you contravene Site Rules by suggesting some fellow ABers are not very bright, but you yourself is allowed to get away with it.
And you do the exact same, AOG, so quit while you're ahead!
Those trousers are a bit....um...flamboyant.
Actually I take back 'the while you're ahead'

Is this the most popular thread so far this year?
Dammit.....we have a pair just like them for you, Sandy..... :-(

Oh so you can 'back up' that this certain ABer is uneducated, breathtakingly ludicrous, ignorant, and abhorrent, can you?

Or once again is this your own bias opinion?

So on this site one gets suspended for telling the truth?

Sqad did not admit to simply posting in order to upset someone (mainly you).

Sqad simply pointed out that this would set the old wind bag going again.

This is not 'trolling' but stating a fact, as your numerous defensive posts has proven.

One would have thought that the Social Services would have been PC enough to provide him with a pink scooter?

I do think so - it was just a little light-hearted remark.

Apparently my comments are not deemed to have broken Site Rules - I remain - after fifteen years of unbroken contributions - unsuspended - ever, whereas others that I deal with cannot say the same.

The fact is - I may say that in my view an opinion or a statement is crass, uneducated, etc. etc., but that is not the same as advising that the Poster has those attributes. I think you will find that I do not insult people individually - although I am sure that if I have done so unwittingly, I can rely on you to find - and post - the evidence.

I refer to my previous answer - as I see it, people's observations are fair game in a robust debate, and I can certainly take it, or I would not dish it out.

You of all people should know I can take criticism, you give me more than the rest of the AB'ers put together!!

Once again, you preface your answer with the dreaded 'So ...' which indicates that you are either going to prove that you have missed the point, or put words in my mouth - the first in this instance it seems.

If anyone gets suspended, that is carried out by the Editorial Team, so you need to take up that issue with them. As far as 'telling the truth' - that rather depends on your perception in this instance.

//Sqad did not admit to simply posting in order to upset someone (mainly you).

Again a matter of perception, and from my perception, Sqad is perfectly capable of fighting his own battles, but on this occasion has taken a tongue-in-cheek stance, which I am delighted to accept, so you can calm down now and cease being his champion - I am sure he will comment to me directly if he feels the need.
