this isn't an ammusing story about my exploits at the weekend.

did anyone watch this program last night on C4 (UK) SPOLIERS BELOW!!!

it was ok, but there was this black kid at the start playing a violin, then he appeared at the end apparently having been attacked. the thing is he had no relation to any other character and he wasn't portrayed gay. so what was the purpose of him?

    possibly, everyone else was white.

    maybe they were making a point about him being drawn into gang culture, ie you didn't see him attacked, you just saw his broken violin after him running into some black kids, so he may have traded his old life for a new one. but the show had nothing to do with gangs. or race, or music.

    The missus wanted to watch this last night so i was forced to (honest). Some of the toilet scenes were very dodgy, all this 'take away a hole in the wall to see the other bloke and then 'do stuff'.

    Why not do what most people do, meet at a club and go back etc ?! This 'poke it through the hole in the wall' type stuff is very very strange.

    I dont mind homosexuals, not keen on the over the top loud ones I admit just as i dont like over the top loud 'look at me i'm heterosexual' type of people.

    ive poked a girl in a toilet, im not a devient.

    although you'll find most blokes that do that sort of thing are married, and bringing a guy home from a club would leave their wives and children somewhat unimpressed.

    If he was in the Mafia then he might well have had a machine gun in that violin case.

    Better safe than sorry I say.

    How do you know they haven't already? I only joined these forums to keep an eye on Cornish. He might stumble across the truth.....

    What? That the C64 was originally intended to be a good computer; until Sir Clive paid Commodore a very hefty sum of money to make it crap? Which is why Sinclair started having money problems despite the success of the Spectrum. The C5 never really existed, and was just a cover?

    OH MY GOD!!!! You weren't supposed to know that...
