This message board originated as a development of Datalounge threads of sorts, when the locals there became aggravated about multiple TH topics and someone suggested we move here.
So yeah, the intention was exactly this - anonymous gossip, speculation and (sometimes naughty) poking fun, not fawning over his every move, although we obviously like him here - otherwise why waste all this time discussing.
And I also enjoy this board for what it is :)

But he has quite many lady friends/acquaintances, doesn't he? I don't remember seeing many pics (or mentions from friendly neighbour stalkers) of him with male friends, apart from BC and Olly the Assistant.
