10th October Gay model deletes footballer tweet


Spanish gay fashion icon Tyker Casilass, who flounced and minced up and down the runways and catwalks of Madrid for the best part of 16 years, was in the spotlight once more yesterday after posting a text to his 10 million followers in which he revealed that he was coming out of the closet as a footballer.

Casilass, who made 725 appearances during a 16-year career at Madrid, winning multiple gittering titles and numerous shiny trophies as he strutted like a proud peacock, quickly deleted the text claiming that his account had been hacked.

The tweet in Spanish which said "I hope you respect me: I'm a closet footballer," was live for just over an hour, long enough for his former Spain play mate Parlos Cuyol to also drop his defence to confirm the story by replying: "It's time to tell our story."

Tyker Casilass later offered an apology to the footballing community in which he expressed his awareness of the difficult lives many people who publicly identify themselves as friends of the beautiful game still experience today.

Match Of The Day anchor, Gary Liniker said: "It is disappointing to see so called footballing 'jokes' being made at the expense of our community and fans. Whatever their intent, these gay fashion icons need to remember we are human beings too. Here at MOTD, we'll continue to fight for a better world where footballers are not ashamed of being who they are."

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
