bloody it's not even the young ones cuz my
husband who was older than I yeah we we come back from a trip and he would say
oh I think I've gained a pound
mind you I have just gained 20
well you're aiming them before the relationship happen it's a movie of the
week starring Denzel me I'm gonna give you the truncated version now keep it
concisely I was on a plane going home in August of 93 I was reading Time Out
magazine and he had an ad in timeout so I went oh this one is mine
and he met he was a nice quiet British scientist it was this it was a perfect
hit I hope his picture of us he was my life he was everything it was a
fantastic obese man it was cancer and they gave him six
months and it was just about to the day six months from diagnosis so it was went
from all to nothing I am head hug since 2012 and I miss that you are my first
date since 1993 well I'm flattered that I'm here you're the one bringing hope so
how long you been single have you been in relationship yes yes I have had a
17-year relationship so is a serious one so yeah did you live together we met in
the mists of time in London and and that was life in those days was very
different being gay wasn't accepted it wasn't a world where people just you
know down the street hand in hand as you sealant on the tube you were ridiculed
and I wasn't prepared to do that and then I happened to meet my wife and we
got on really well you know and so I married her and buried everything else
deep in the back and sealed it up so it was never ever opened again until after
my divorce so I thought well I'm get away from this door up again you've
ended rather unhappily but anyway not through death but just through
division shall we say I didn't do a big sort of I am what I am sort of song
dance you know whatever and in fact some people recently I sort of said look
finally I think I need to tell you something you know and and they said oh
we from heard reaches what is the good thing about being a relationship for you
simple things nothing very dramatic just that some of the business of sort of
having time breakfasts papers hang out on an autumnal day and kicking the
leaves and just having someone to do things with well you hit the nail on the
head with the breakfast newspaper see that's what it's all about
he would do Sudoku I would do that as well I'm afraid that's one available
