I think there was a misunderstanding in his first argument with Gary.

Gary took it as a gay thing and said about getting butt ******* and it went downhill from there....that was my reading of it anyway.

My take is that it was a gay thing, Leslie is gay and I thought it rather bad of James to bend over like that.

What a sweetheart he is, always trying his best to help Gary when he's struggling

and what was his remark about Gary belonged in a cage? I know who I would put in a cage......

I agree the pair of them together are totally horrible nasty so and sos. Stephanie can go into the cage with James.

I disagree. It's from a Carry on film - the doc puts on the glove to examine the prostate and says 'assume the position' and the guy bends over...it's just a joke...

Yeah it could have been just a doctor joke, but even if it was, James got so over the top angry when it turned into a gay joke. Gary maybe pushed it too much too. Tbh I found that whole argument very uncomfortable to watch at the time, but looking back on it the silliness of it all and how it turned so quickly is a bit funny.

Yes, me too.
I like the dynamics of the pair of them though - I find their prickly relationship interesting.

I don't like James at all, but telling Gary he needed to shower, was a good thing to do.

I don't get why everyone assumes Gary smelled, maybe he was washing in the sink rather than taking showers. I don't see his personal hygiene being their business.
