I think you'll find that the party was NOT the third night. It's at least

several nights later. Jamie has been concerned that Ste has not stopped by

after THE night ("I knocked for you a *few* times"). Leah spotted Ste

coming out of Jamie's apartment the morning after. I'm sure that's the

first she knew of Ste sleeping over, and managed to get the details out of

Sandra or Tony. Therefore, I think (this is my opinion only) Leah's

reference to spreading around where he slept "last week" is a direct

reference to that night. This means that Ste was actually intentionally

avoiding Jamie for several nights, which is what makes that garden party

scene so powerful. After a great night (for Jamie anyway), Ste has had

serious second thoughts about continuing and has made himself scarce.

I never got the impression that Ste had ever slept over before. Remember,

Ste doesn't even know that Jamie wears glasses! If he spent a lot of time

with Jamie outside of school, he would know that, I'm sure. Also, when

Jamie goes to the party, he say's "I'm going out with my mates," to which

Sandra replies "You haven't *got* any mates." If he was spending a *lot* of

time with Ste, I don't think she would have said that. I think Jamie has

been very attracted to Ste for awhile, but has never spent too much time

with him, in spite of the fact that they live next door to each other.

Jamie is NOT friends with Ste's friends, who delight in tormenting him.

My opinion only. Glad to hear what others think.

Ron,

The thing that makes this list so great is the on-going flow of thoughts

about many topics among people that share a common love (BT). We do

discuss all things BT, but from the nature of the emails, it is obvious that

BT has affected each of us in a very deep and emotional way. Having

such a common bond makes it very easy and comfortable to discuss

various aspects of BT, as well as the deeper feelings, etc. it has brought

out in us. After only a short time, I consider the other people on this list

close friends, and like to share intimate, funny, etc. thoughts with my

friends. I think others on the list like seeing inside each others

thought/dreams/hopes as we united around a common interest.

So, Welcome to the list! I agree the volume does come and go, but I truly

feel a part of this, and don't resent the off-topic, or volumes of mail one

bit. It's like having an extended family in many ways.

You have to remember that Jonathan adapted the original stage play for screen. In the

stage play it specifies that the Party is a week later.

The clues in the movie are when Jamie tells Ste he's been calling for him, and Ste

says he's been out, and also when Leah is talking about getting Ste off the hook with

Regrettably, after only a short time on the list I am leaving.

My decision is based upon the fact that it's run by Davie, who seems to

think it's acceptable for people to use homophobic comments on an otherwise

good-natured DALnet channel set up by Davie, called Beautiful-Thing.

I won't be called a shirt-lifter on a channel dedicated to a very beautiful

love story between two guys, for God's sake - and when I asked Davie did I

have to put up with it, he bluntly said 'yes.' From my experiences on

EFnet's #gaylondon channel, this is totally unacceptable behaviour from an

Op. But then, the only other Op was the guy making homophobic comments so

I guess that made it okay in Davie's books. I wonder if he was a friend,

but then that makes me wonder what gay man has friends who make comments

like that????

There's a world of difference between good-natured camaraderie and gay

style 'bitching', and the comment that was levelled against me. I think I

upset the guy in question, I didn't know the channel was a clique

beforehand where one has to meekly stand aside whilst bigger fish occupy

the pond space thereon.

For Davie to tolerate such comments as an 'out' gay man is just beyond my

comprehension, and as the generally perceived 'master' of the channel he

has a responsibility akin to AOL guides and designated ops on other

channels.

So, I'm off now. If I'm made to feel abused and unwelcome on the IRC

channel, then I take it I am unwelcome on the list thanks to it's

originator being the very same person who finds homophobic expression

acceptable. I waited a while online for an apology after leaving the

channel and none was forthcoming, more's the pity as I'm quite a forgiving

and certainly not a hardline man. I'm not an out and out militant but I

draw the line at abuse I got in my childhood days now that I'm an adult and

happy to be who I am.

Thanks to those who have been posting for some interesting discussions of

late, I've enjoyed reading them. If Chris is on the list, I shall be in

touch before Pride, m'dear. :-)

 

Really, for all the reasons above - and because of Beautiful Thing itself -

I would have expected better of Davie. It seems the basic core messages of

Beautiful Thing can pass people by.

 

Still, I've stated my reasons and aired my view. I don't mind if people

disagree with me, it is, after all, a personal choice I've made. You

choose your friends, you choose your mailing lists - and my friends are

composed of a bunch of people - gay, straight, bi, whatever - who would

never use such abuse let alone let others get away with it unchallenged.

 

Disappointed, but life goes on... it's only a small bit of cyberspace,

after all... Make Your Own Kind of Music, folks! *hugs*

All the best for the future, whatever you do!

that night and I'm sure many others from what Leah says at the party

"...where you slept last week." Either way, you can tell they shared

something really special. When Ste walks out of Sandra's flat, he looked

very happy and at ease. I think the look he had when he woke up is more

of one of not wanting to disturb Jamie as he slept on. I'd like to think

it wasn't a look of 'oh my God, what have I done' type of thing, but more

of 'I've got to be quite as not to disturb this sweet, beautiful boy'.

Some points here.

1. The DALnet channel was neither set-up, nor is run, by me.

Jason  set it up, and is the main man.

2. I did not sanction homophobic comments.

Andi mistook my reply of "Yes" to someone elses question, as a reply to his

question "do we have to put up with homophobic comments on channel,

BT?"

Andi missed my reply because he had left the channel by the time I had typed it.

3. I don't believe the comment was homophobic - it was from Jay, who quotes from BT

endlessly, and used the phrase 'shirt-flap lifter' - as Jamie does to Tony in the

scene just after Sandra has 'outed' him.

4. I'm not here to tell people what to say or do, especially on a public access IRC

network.

Personally, I couldn't care less if someone called me a shirt-flap lifter, or a

faggot - as happened on the top deck of the 180 between Thamesmead and Greenwich last

weekend. Everyone is entitled to their opinion - hell, I find the thought of lifting

a shirt flap kind of exciting!

If anything else needs to be said it's between Jay and Andi. I suggest you two talk

through email and get this sorted.

Throwing a queeny fit and posting to the list is not the way to resolve a potential

dispute.

Making a comment which could be taken the wrong way to someone you hardly know is

also not the best way to win friends and influence people.

I got to thinking about this "first time" business today (of all

things, while I was spray painting my patio glider (glider:

self-supporting, free-standing porch swing, for those who aren't

familiar with the term <G>) and it occurred to me that many of us

guys had _two_ "first" times. For me - and for many guys I know -

before there was the "first" time when a sex act occurred, there was

a "first" time to be intimate and, yes, even naked with another guy.

And I don't mean a time when we "messed around" with some other guy

from school while on a camping trip since lots of straight guys go

through that too. I mean a "first" time when we are with that person

because we want them and we are - or think we are - in love.

I mark my coming out from that _first_ "first time." It was an

acknowledgment to me that I _was_ gay. We spent the whole night

together, we were quite physical, but none of the then-existing laws

of the state of Tennessee were broken. <G> (Tennessee has no sodomy

law now.)

The "first time" for sex came later and I remember it too. But that

_first_ "first time" is the one I most remember. Of course, it also

helps that, of all things, it occurred on a Fourth of July -

Independence Day, although the irony of that escaped me until July

5th. <G>

So it's easy for me to believe that Jamie and Ste didn't "do it"

(gosh, what a quaint term <G>) on that _first_ "first night."

And so on .... (don't think it's right to redo the whole thing and waste

space .. not that andi doesn't have a thing to say)

As a relatively new person to this list and to the IRC ... I have to say

I was a bit nervous when it can to "chatting" with all the folks. In

fact in situations like that, I was a bit aprehensive. So I kinda just

kept in a "lurker" mode and watched how people interacted. And after

awhile, I got to know these fine folks, and realized they were more like

a family ... with good humored bantering and knock downs sometimes, but

always there to support each other if needed. So I am real sorry that

Andi found it abit unsettling. I only hope that he will give another

Brace yourselves because I´m afraid this´s going to be a very long post.

First of all, my humble opinion is that as Ste says: 'Nothing happened'

I´m talking about my personal feelings so maybe I´m wrong or I´m very naive.

Besides, I love diversity and different points of view. I´d love to be

proven wrong so that we could talk more about it.

Let´s see... (I´m concentrating now):

Ste´s so shocked and shaken about what´s going on that 'doing it' would be

too much too soon for him. Put yourselves in his place (me too) he´s afraid

of his feelings, he tries to be a tough guy, he has been forced to survive

inside his own family, he knows he has no one who cares for him so he denies

being vulnerable, having any needs whatsoever. But he is, he´s very

vulnerable and scared. Then suddenly he finds someone that cares for him,

someone who´s treating him kindly and with respect, someone who values him.

Someone who´s just kissed him and caressed him. But he´s a man!!

At the same time he´s realizing he needs Jamie, that he wants him, he needs

to be touched, he needs to be cared for. Jamie knows this too and I believe

he´s sensitive enough to give Ste what he needs without going too far.

I´ve thought a lot about what could have happened. Jonathan´s the one who

can answer this but what my feelings tell me they did is this:

The last thing we see is Jamie caressing Ste´s face and chest. I´m sure all

of you noticed he was caressing the bruise Ste had just shown him (I cry

when I see this), so after that sweet caress Jamie bends over Ste and kisses

his forehead, his eyes, his nose, maybe his lips again and then, very

tentatively Ste reaches out and starts caressing Jamie´s face, discovering

for the first time what it is to share with somebody. Maybe at some time

during their mutual caresses they can´t stand it anymore and they embrace in

their need. They must be as close as possible, feeling each other´s skin, so

they undress each other. Maybe they stroke each other in wonder, just

revelling in the feeling of being caressed, of caressing another´s warm

flesh. Maybe they even cry at the beauty of it. And then, still in wonder,

they hold again and they fall sleep in each other´s arms.

Maybe I´ve been too romantic, naive or simply stupid but that´s what my

heart tells me it happened. I admit I can be wrong and what Mike says makes

sense. As for 'the aunty in Gravesend who´s deaf' I´d explain it like this:

Ste´s scared they can be discovered, he thinks sex is 'noisy' and they can

be heard, and besides they have their whole families around. He feels safer

'doing it' for the first time with only a deaf person around.

I can´t prove they did it that night (or that they didn´t do it), I can only

say what I feel.

I hope I´ve made any sense to you. Thank you for listening.

 

Take care.

 

Sandra.

David, (Davie?)

BTW do you post here when you have updates to your sire (or anyone else

who has a URL for BT?) - I check in periodically on sites I have

bookmarked, but I usually prefer to be made aware of specific things to

keep an eye out for - (see previous note about updated .gif file for

Scott's b-day!) - I hope I'm not sounding rude in asking this question.

It's merely a suggestion, if it's not something you're already doing!

Kevin

PS thanks for the Latest News section - that helps keep us updated as to

what's going on in the world of BT - I guess my question regards more

with things like pics, sounds, the possibility of a Themes addition,

etc.

David,

Yes - you are doing it right - we are receiving your notes - if I am

understanding you correctly - it took me a few time to realize I never

see my own posts - usually on the replies - I don't know if that was

ever stated in previous e-mails or if this is a standard thing - but you

get used to it after awhile. ;) As for the movie -> I'm clueless!!!
