I read this, and then I fell a little bit in love with Gerard Whateley. (actually, I had already fallen in love with him a long time ago, and this just confirmed my feelings for him)
The story so far
I'm from Adelaide, but I'm living in Abu Dhabi right now. One day, I saw a gold leaf four wheel drive. It made me cry.

Wow – that road video. Shudder.
Just catching up – glad you enjoyed Edinburgh so much!
What a beautifully re-written article. I hope Jason A reads it.
I used to think he had the voice of a mosquito but now I’m in love with him too.
Best line: I should’ve known without needing to ask that a gay man is as capable of separating locker room nudity from a romantic night out as easily as any straight bloke.
Love Gerard. Listening to he and Samantha Lane talk footy on the ABC Sunday at 12 is one of my weekend wintery treats.
I love him too.
He was great on the misogyny that surfaced around the unfortunate Lara bingle/train wreck.
If it weren’t for voices like Gerard’s, I’d be tempted to give up my attachment to football.
oh, thank you, boynton! I was trying to remember the other thing I’d recently liked him for.
‘a gay man is as capable of separating locker room nudity from a romantic night out as easily as any straight bloke.’
Much more easily, I would have said. Yes, I’ve been surprised at how few people have pointed out publicly that Aker’s attitude stems from that very old-fashioned notion many straight men still have that everyone who fancies men wants to have sex with them personally. It explains a lot about their attitude to women as well.
