| Who's a Gentleman?
I have my bi-monthly gentleman's club tomorrow.
I need suggestions for my nomination for gentleman of the month.
Previous winners are Prince Philip, Ranulph Fiennes and Edmund Hillary.
Every month I've nominated Stephen Fry and been outvoted, so I'm ditching him (my selected whisky has also come last every month, apart from the last meeting, where it came second last - I clearly fail at being a gentleman).
Who would you nominate for "Gentleman of the Month"?
Also, the host of the meeting has to write a letter to the winner telling them they've been voted gentleman of the month (by a bunch of fannies, but they don't know that). |

I was thinking of Larry "a man can't just sit around" Walters.
Too jokey? Is he actually a gentleman? He certainly embodies manliness. | |

Hugh Laurie. (He's actually an Eton and Cambridge graduate and is a member of one of the oldest rowing club in the world.) | |

We could do something similar for AltNation.
A 'alternative person' of the month, or something along those lines - with suggestions the first two weeks, narrowed down to a poll the second two weeks and then a letter is written off to them with some questions and if they reply it can be made into an AltNation interview.
What's wrong with me? | |

What's wrong with me? | That's actually an amusing idea. Could be fruitful. | |

I think a thread on what constitutes one person being more alternative than the other would be a horrific car crash.
Possibly even an amusing one. Quote:
