Rev Richard Coles

I think he has annoyed some people with this: “Bond. James Bond. My preferred pronouns are he, him”. #ruinagreatscene [[https://twitter.com/RevRichardColes/status/1366649252483649538?s=20]]

Three Vicars Talking, with the Reverends Coles, Bottley and Fraser, was superb. Still available on BBC Sounds for anyone who missed the series and specials the first time round.

(Actually, I think a lot of us have written out 2020 )

Melroses · 03/03/2021 13:13

Thank you :)

@Melroses it was actually in 2019, how time flies! There's a link to the original Tweet in this article: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-49464776

[quote CaveMum]@InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud definitely not just you, he comes across so genuine and his self-deprecating humour is great. The Twitter thread last year when he found himself accidently locked in the guest bedroom at a friends house was hilarious.

His Pause For Thought on Valentine's Day last year for Radio 2, where he talked about receiving flowers from his partner David, who had passed away the previous December, was so moving.[/quote]

I missed that - does anyone have a link?

Melroses · 02/03/2021 15:29

I thought it was funny - a perfectly normal good-humoured joke that anyone would make and appreciate.

We need more of those.

I thought he had died when I saw his name as a thread title!

This is my favourite:

I heard that. I cried ...

@zanahoria

I’m loving that so many people on that thread don’t get it

I would hate to have to explain it in under 160 characters

They still wouldn’t get it

@ErrolTheDragon

The neopronouns which really should be banned are u and ur. Ew.

Surely Neo's pronouns would be RedPill and TheOne!

Sorry!

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife.

And I'm an alcoholic.

This one has to be the best one.

WhatWouldPhyllisCraneDo · 02/03/2021 13:56

I've just had a good old giggle at his twitter feed. Thanks for that!

He comes across as such a lovely, intelligent man. Relieved he isn't spouting some TRA nonsense. I was about to have a mini tantrum.

VienneseWhirligig · 02/03/2021 13:40

I really like the Rev, he speaks so eloquently about grief.

I hadn't put those two 'Coles' together! OMG!

Wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 02/03/2021 13:37

I love Rev. Coles.

TheByngster · 02/03/2021 13:36

I love The Rev

Goslowlysideways · 02/03/2021 13:35

Not that that's connected.

Goslowlysideways · 02/03/2021 13:35

I saw that and wondered what would happen. I like him. Although his brother is very dodgy

UppityPuppity · 02/03/2021 13:33

More great keyboard work from the Rev to enjoy yes I know it is a piano and not an actual keyboard

CuriousaboutSamphire · 02/03/2021 13:29

That hashtag is ver' 'musing

I follow the Rev on Twitter. He's such a lovely man.
