Do we think Gus dyes his hair? A man in his mid forties, with not a grey hair in sight?
Would you though Edna?
pasty
A different kind of pasty

Por-hyet ... with a sharp, sibilant intake of breath before the 'hyet'.
But remember ... "The nature of sibilants as so-called 'obstacle fricatives' is complicated - there is a continuum of possibilities relating to the angle at which the jet of air may strike an obstacle. The grooving often considered necessary for classification as a sibilant has been observed in ultrasound studies of the tongue for supposedly non-sibilant [θ] voiceless alveolar non-sibilant fricative".
As Gus says ... "is complicated".

Well I think it only fair that we should pronouce it correctly. It's rude not to.

Despite the primate-looks, I'd have to say yes just BECAUSE he's Gus. Even you lot would.
But I'd rather it was Glenn, or even better the LOVELY Gordon Greer.

Mid? How old is Mr PoyCHET? I thought he was only 41. Could be wrong though.

I was strangely drawn closer to the TV whilst he was on, I just gravitated.

What a magnificent post!
Being male, I just thought Mr Greer was a large, but amiable, Scotsman.

Just checked on Wikipedia and he's ( at 43 ) a year younger than me.
Can't quite believe he was still playing for Chelsea when we started at Withdean, where did the decade go !!!!!!!!

Take me Home Falmer Road
I would say RUGGED
I like rugged.
Written that word looks more like a verb than an adjective.
