Cliff; saint or shit-for-brains? (very strong language)
by ianrthorpe @ 2008-05-02 - 17:45:07

A new biography of the entertainment industry's eternal Bachelor Boy Cliff Richard fails to answer the question we have all been asking for the past 50 years but it does offer some insight into the man’s character
One story in the book tells how in the 1970s Cliff became quite excited on seeing a guitarists fuzzbox effect pedal emblazoned with the words “Big Muff.”
“Hey, what a great title for my next album,” burbled the chaste one, “I could have my face on the cover and the words Big Muff next to it.”
fortunately a sympathetic but worldly backing singer too Cliff aside and stopped him making a total cunt of himself by explaining the big muff / fuzzbox joke.
“Oh drat,” said Cliff (well he would say that’ wouldn’t he?) “is there nothing that does not have a double meaning to it these days?”
The story leave us no wiser as to whether Cliff bats for the other side or not, but it does tell us he has never seen a Carry On film.
What planet does he live on?

Not ours.

Many moons ago, at a press call for a certain musical, Sir Cliff was there were a gentlemen that my fellow scribes and other celebs all seemed quite assured that he was Cliff's "worst kept secret".

A former tennis pro, no less.

In my time in the Capital I heard of Cliff's "worst kept secret" several times though I cannot remember the name now.

But if the Bachelor Boy wants to remain in the closet we should respect his wish and leave him there. It is the best place for him after all.

They used to call Sue Barker "lemming"... as apparently she went suicidal over Cliff, after they split. So perhaps the ravishing Question of Sport presenter could enlighten us over the good Christian's sexual predilections?

Personally, I think he's been far too long in the puritanical gravy train closet to come out now.

He could be asexual of course. Anyone whose public persona is so Enid Blyton could not possibly have a sex life could they?
As for Sue Barker, no sympathy here. If she was going short Martina Navratilova would have seen to her needs. Lady tennis players have no business lusting after anything male even so kamp a male as Cliff.

Cliff hasn't seen Carry On films? Has he seen any of the Monty Python films, I wonder? ;)

Are you thinking of The Prince In The Tower scene from Holy Grail?
