That Barry George, oh I mean Terry George (both stalkers) was not and never has been Michael's best friend. Since when was he Mark Lester.
I think Terry George only met Michael twice. Once in 1979 and another time in 1983 when Michael came over to the UK to attend the BPI Awards (now The Brits) with Paul McCartney and his wife. Apart from that they only ever had telephone conversations.
He claimed Michael played with himself on the phone whilst they were talking. My view it was Terry George who played with himself on the telephone which is why contact stopped after that. Such a pathetic story coming from a man that owns gay chat lines and clubs.
