While obviously there is an issue with smart women not being able to also be pretty women, this has an awful lot to do with Essex - probably more so than just her looks. TOWIE is our version of Jersey Shore, so this is like a Snookie lookalike (and JS fan) being a certified genius. It just doesn't fit alongside…

You tell 'em! We walked uphill in the snow both ways, and if we found a blind exploding Xenomorph shuffling along with his invisible shopping trolley we were HAPPY, dammit!

Although a lot of the time it's people ignoring science to keep their belief in magic alive.

Holy shit - maybe your newspaper is magic! That must be it.

When I was in school we'd pass around rude horoscopes. Looking online now I can see that I (Libra) am a flaky derelict whore and will likely die of a venereal disease. Only time will tell on that one!

Is Final Cut good? Because based on your description I really want to watch it now.

So true. You are not your job. You are not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking gaming platform of choice.

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Michonne should keep things close to the chest, but turning her into a fucking mute is a step too far and makes her look stupid, which I never felt she was in the comics.

Very true - I didn't mean to undermine your post. Just going from the quote there where "when he woke up he seemed better", it's understandable that they would think the worst is over. Hindsight can be a bitch at the best of times, let alone at a moment like that.

Aww bless. I like how the other guy keeps thinking of ways that it might be worth that kind of money, rather than some idiot that put his starting bid at something stupid on Ebay and it never sold. Sad that someone lost a loved one obviously - but God if that ain't some car crash TV.

Coulda woulda shoulda. I can't imagine how she feels.

I put this on my own comment, but it really does piss me off when people stay silent about stuff that no real person would keep to themselves. I know she's guarded, but if she really wanted to make a case for her and Andrea leaving Woodbury, she could have. When you get taken in by a bunch of strangers who are…

That bit made me chuckle. A season ago, maybe. But now - no fucking chance.

For me it is that I've read the comics (I know, I know). In the books Shane was the baddie, so that's what I expected (Guv isn't nearly as bad on TV, but again, he's the baddie so anything goes). Andrea was a badass. She had flaws, and she got scared and confused and hurt, but she had an amazing loyalty and was smart…

I'm just really disappointed with Michonne and Andrea. Considering how we left off with those two in the wilderness, I thought we'd end up with a closer-to-comic badass Andrea and Michonne double team. But Michonne is just too silent and mean. I know she wasn't forthcoming in the comics, but I hate it when fictional…

I thought the point was he was attracted to her because he was recently separated, lonely and in desperate need to just ignore Real Life for a moment, and Hannah was there. She was fresh and young and weird, and so totally distant from his normal life, where people are proper grown ups with proper grown up jobs and…

It sucks that you're classy, because my advice would be to fucking go for her. Watching Facebook fights are the best.

A pair of drunks? My life turns into human pinball at the weekends - orientation goes to shit and I'm just bouncing off of surfaces. If this is just weekends then you may be my upstairs neighbour, and I'm sorry for the disturbance.

I'd say no, that's fine. But I'm guessing you'll still have to wear it in front of people (other than your husband)? Maybe having someone there whose judgement you trust could help you out - be honest about when something's not flattering but also point out how great you look in others - your comment about maybe not…

In my experience, flu doesn't sneak up on you that fast, so he would have had enough time to know he was feeling poorly and to cancel before the date anyway - let alone leave it that long after you sent a text.
