If Brian Dowling is so sensitive that he was in floods of tears at being called that, then I suggest he get out of his own arse & live in the real world, where people don't pussy foot around & get offended by someone sneezing! And for the record Jim isn't homophobic, there is a difference in making fun of people & hating them... People cannot say anything today without someone being offended & it's pathetic.

I couldn't agree more... as is usual for me with Galah's posts. Have you seen the sh1t I take on here for being Jewish? It's hilarious and meant in fun. The only time I've ever taken exception to it has been when those people really meant it as an insult, and that's really, really rare. Like you say, there's a massive difference between hating people and making fun of them. It appears some people can't grasp that and are getting outraged on other people's behalf.

Yeah and in doing so, did what they told Linda she shouldn't have been doing. thick or what?

It didn't go un-noticed by the viewers at home and that show just galvenised more support for Jim.
