Pride Page #3

Mark, face it.

- They're on strike. They're busy.

- They don't wanna take our money

- because we're poufs.

- And a dyke.

- They'd rather starve.

- Hand the money over anonymously.

- We don't have to say we're gay.

- No.

At least, we'd be helping.

This is a gay and lesbian group,

and we are unapologetic about that.

- Why are you wasting time with this?

- Mark!

They will call. Nothing to do

with the fact that we're poufs.

- And a dyke.

- They will call us. End of meeting.

They're never gonna call us back.

Someone needs to go with him.

First rule of the group.

- I'll go.

- Thank you, Steph.

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners!

Pervert.

First rule of the group, comrade.

Nobody collects alone.

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners!

- Lesbians and Gays Support...

- Gethin!

- You're supposed to be a bookshop.

- We don't have maps, Mark.

People ask for the

poems of Walt Whitman.

I hope there's a good reason

why I've been abandoned.

Let me get this right.

So we are gonna pick a mining town

at random, and just ring.

Is that the plan, is it, Mark?

The town hall, the council.

- It's as easy as that.

- Why not?

We bypass the union altogether.

- I think it's inspired.

- So do I.

- See, even Bromley agrees.

- Right, here we go.

Aha! So, what do we want?

- Somewhere north, industrial.

- Humberside, is that a place?

Oh, Jesus Christ, give it to me.

If it's miners you're looking for,

- there, Wales.

- Of course.

- That's a big f***ing coalfield.

- That's the Brecon Beacons.

That's the coalfield there, and that is.

- And what are we supposed to do?

- Do you know people, Gethin?

No, I haven't been back there

in 16 years.

Why not?

Well, let's just say there isn't

always a welcome in the hillsides.

Shall I get the phone book?

Well, what's the worst that can happen?

Oh, hello, I represent a bunch

of screaming homosexuals.

May I inquire about your communal baths?

- What's that got to do with a strike?

- Oh, nothing. I'd just like to inquire.

Please, can I have some...?

All right, thank you.

All right! Hey!

If we're gonna do this,

we need to take it seriously.

Have a look.

Right.

O, one, nine...

What's the Welsh for lesbian?

Hello?

Yes.

I see.

- Yeah!

- Yes!

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Didn't occur to you

to get a description?

She were off the phone fast.

Maybe we should try and

look more obviously gay.

Achievable goals, please, Jeff.

- Shut up. That's him.

- Are you sure?

- God, he's coming.

- How did you know it were him?

It's the same as in a nightclub.

It's all in the eyes.

I'm Dai Donavan. From the Dulais Valley.

- Right.

- You must be Mark.

- Yes. Hello.
