@BIWI

You've entirely missed the point of this instagram picture.

It's from a TV series where he and Rob Beckett try and have a go at various things - different sports like cricket and golf, different cultural things, like art and ballet and now different 'popular' cultural things, like fashion and drag.

He's not doing 'womanface' in the sense that you think you mean.

But why do this at all? It’s offensive to women. Why not stick with being cricketers or snooker players or whatever. Why dress up like this with fake tits and thighs. It’s bonkers

That is pretty bizarre! What were they thinking?!

I have a very dry sense of humour. I mean it as a joke but I expect that I will live long enough to see how this story plays out. Maybe he is just playing around and it is all good fun. Maybe he has other motivations. Who can tell what is in anyone's head?

@growinggreyer sorry if I misunderstood, not sure I understand what you mean still! Do you think Romesh may come out as trans in the same way that Eddie izzard did ?

Argh, Brew Bear Blush

I need to remember to use the Grin emoji. I have recently learned to finish my texts with xx rather than a full stop, so I can learn. Grin [coffee]

@SunsetBeetch

They might well get cancelled for this...
I've seen some of the episodes and they take the piss out of everything and each other, will be interesting to see how they approach this one.

Only women get cancelled unfortunately.

Yes, I thought you were joking growinggreyer

*This is a bit of a leap.

He's done a comedy show on drag with another comedian. Probably taking the piss out of it. He's hardly going to come out as trans.*
I can wait...

Do you remember when Eddie Izzard said that he was a lesbian in a man's body for a joke? That is what I am referring to.

It's for a TV series

@growinggreyer

Oh dear. He's one of those comedians that I have never found funny. Not a single thing he has ever said has sparked even a smile from me - and I frequently embarrass myself by hooting with laughter at WILTY. I wonder how long it will be before he has female pronouns and is running for a seat in Parliament?
