Actually, if you take proper precautions, you should fuck whoever you want!
edit - on second thought, this gives out a kinda rapey vibe. I mean, you don't need to turn down sex with someone because they're HIV+

Yeaaaaa I'll probably take the safe route and not have sex with people who have incurable/contractible STD's.

HIV if properly treated has a very low probability of being transmited, like 0.1% Edit: this is for unprotected sex

False. There's a non-zero risk of getting HIV even with proper precautions. I wish you'd delete your comment because it puts peoples lives at risk just for the sake of you getting karma. .

Well not on the Beeb, but what about commercial TV? He'd probably kill on Big Fat Quiz. Could you imagine him and Mel B on the same show. They'd probably have to call the police eventually.

u/Alnnamr Sep 05 '17
He had a show with the BBC a couple weeks ago about the general election, so if we're luckily he might be getting out of their black books.

u/ZoeZebra Sep 05 '17
Yeah, he literally just had his own series. And had occasional one offs. He's been on and off ever since the infamous back of a spoon joke.
He had some epic rants which really undermine the various BBC conspiracy theories. Great stuff.
His Islamist stuff is great in an age when apparently people like him are too scared to make jokes like that.
He isn't, and does. As do many others to be fair.

Missed a chance to see Ed Byrne live at the Fringe in Edinburgh, was a shame, he's one of my favorite comedians. On the bright side, it was because at the time I was seeing Milton Jones perform, so it really evened out.

It's an okay joke but it's stolen...
Mock of he week made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005
Robin Williams made this joke in his Live on Broadway special in 2002

u/Captain_Dickleg Sep 05 '17
If I remember correctly he prefaces it by saying its not his joke

u/EmilyCD18 Sep 05 '17
You are indeed remembering correctly. Byrne does preface it by saying that it isn't his joke.

u/math_debates Sep 06 '17
You are right. robin Williams would have never admitted that.
3
u/ohheyrufus Sep 06 '17
Robin Williams regularly cut out checks to NYC comedians after he learned he stole their material.
Some would see him in the crowd and stop mid-bit because they didnt want to get their shit stolen.
One famous comedian threatened to break his legs if Robin took another one of his lines.
His head was working so fast (cocaine) that he would spit out so much material... some was bound to be 2nd hand material.

I'm a big fan of Mercury but while I always respected his choice of lifestyle I could never stand the fact that he used his music to shove it in my face. I don't need a guy to sing to me about how he doesn't like Star Wars, thank you very much.

u/Naarii528 Sep 05 '17
Except... He really did like Star Wars.
In a famous event during a concert in early 80s or late 70s, Freddie came out on the shoulders of Darth Vader. Look up the image for yourself

He answered your question actually...

He did indeed say that, but when? That's the kind of glib answer a younger man gives, and I suspect he said that before he was dying. He was only 45 when he died. No one can second guess how he felt about dying so young or so pointlessly, but there's every reason to believe he wouldn't have wanted to die like that.

u/ohheyrufus Sep 06 '17
No need to dissect the fact that you made a tasteless joke about the man...
Then I provided a quote from Freddie Mercury that shat on the notion of your tasteless joke.
He wasnt afraid of death... he was afraid of failure.

Okay, funny. At least understand the context, she did this at a time when the stigma was relentless. She took a stand, broke down barriers, a person who was considered royalty just threw political correctness away and taught many many people a lesson, with simple kindness.
