@Vojthas always knows the fun English words. Always learn something when he’s around 

I didn't use "Windsor knot", "savoire-vivre" is not that English and "chemise" I checked on the Google Translate But thanks anyway

Ladies and Gentlemen, the greatest of all Twitter moments in 2019:

I didn’t use the Totallympics Media account to Tweet because I didn’t want to post something that would offend our reporters, but if did...

“We thank our audience for their continued support”

Soo.... Anyone knows how to make a Windsor knot?

 

technically, here I am...

 

the problem...I always make it crooked and I have to try at least 2 or 3 times before it comes out reasonably good...

 

by the way, despite I like suits, I hate ties (I have a wide bull neck and it's always a torture to keep the top buttons of my shirt closed) and I try to avoid using them as much as possible...

To me, all contestants look as beautiful as the others, I couldn't choose. But maybe straight guys can do it better!

Never really been a fan of it myself by the way, they all look a bit too 'fake' for my liking

Even my profile picture is the gay bear flag. Not as many people recognise this as the rainbow flag, but this also exist. What's a "bear"?, you ask now. A bear is a big, hairy, masculine gay man. Let's organise a beauty contest for fat men, I could judge them 

Sorry if my comment offended the members who don't like gay people. You don't have to.

Mostly we talk about sports here, so wheater I have a blond girlfriend or a chubby boyfriend doesn't matter at all.

I believe I learned that on Totallympics when a certain user explained how popular Russian weightlifter Ruslan Albegov is in online gay communities  

 

Just to clarify: with "never been a fan of it" I of course meant the whole Miss World thing  I couldn't care less who likes men and who likes women and who likes both or none, as long as we're all happy

I agree at 100%...

 

and I don't like also the subtle meaning of this kind of "competitions"...

 

we always see headlines about "people -and women in particular- treated like objects", but this is exactly one way to do that, especially when the contestants are very young girls/boys who normally are not there because of their own will...

Strangely, I first realised your profile picture was the gay bear flag when you mentioned it and I even see it every weekend when I'm down at my local gay bar. The flag is even very recognisable compared to many of the other flag of the LGBT+ community.
