No, not gay. Just a crazy person in UK slang.

Ah...okay then! Yeah, that totally works for me. Though I am indeed gay...because I'm colorful and cheerful.

I've just spoken to the lovely SG on the phonio. We discussed all manner of "lovely" things. It was really great to speak to her. Now you're all jealous! Haha. and rightly so!

And also for that strange little thing they used to put on the back of shirts, below the collar at about the shoulder line. WTF were those *for*, anyway?

We called them "fairy hooks." I don't know why either.

I do know that my best friend's older sister had chain of them pinned to her bulletin board that she'd pulled off guys' shirts. I don't know why she did that.
