Now that is someone who CAN take a joke AND give a funny retort. Catch a grip Audrey....Perhaps George heard that exchange?

Then when Kellie said she wants to be called so did he continue to call her Frank? No, so not the same thing.

but thats you though, you might be fine with people not calling you by your real name, but that doesn't mean other people have to be or that they 'have to deal with it' if they want to be called by their real name, then that's what they should be called, nothing else

The point is Audley made a joke which some may have considered clearly below the belt, Kellie took it in good spirit, Audley over-reacted to a much less offensive joke. If you can give it out you should be able to take it on the chin. It is not as if Audley is any way effeminate, womanish or weak or could be done any damage by George's childish jokes. He made himself look like a bit of a fool by reacting in the way that he did. IMO

But was Audley making a joke given he has known Frank for many years as Frank, I just got the impression he was just asking what she wanted to be called in the house given their history. Maybe I got it wrong. Also they have known each other for a long time whereas George has only just met Audley so to go calling someone you don't know childish names is not such a good idea imo.

Erm, anybody can be offended or upset by comments regardless of whether they are effeminate, womanish or weak.

Hmm, George has a very infantile sense of humour really, bit of a p***t

[Nell_McCoy]

I have a feeling that George would not have continued to make the same silly joke over and over to a boxer if he had been in the pub and not the house. However Audley should have just ignored him or joked back.

Don't think he would have, the chances of him being knocked out are a lot higher in the pub

But he isn't demanding respect, he just wants people to call him by his real name.

Ehh. I still like George, so...

He took it as a joke. George insisted on carrying the joke on and was asked to stop.

A joke is a joke but there is a line. He had an awkward first meeting with Kellie after knowing her as Frank and then accepted her and got on with it.

Not comparable in the slightest.

I also don't see what being "effeminate" has to do with it. Nobody's saying the joke would have done damage but it was irritating.

If in the pub, his defence could have been due to being drunk and dis-audley?

*sorry*
