I JUST WANT TARA TO BE HAPPY!!

Has anyone else had dudes tell them to their face that men experience more desire than women? As if they can magically read your mind.

Ah, unlucky about the glasses. Hope something sorts itself out and I'm so glad to have been helpful! Clerkenwell is well-positioned & just outside Islington, but it's nearer the City (financial centre ), Soho and Shoreditch than it is to Upper Street (main drag of Islington). You'll have plenty of choice food-wise.

Ok, so I'm a Londoner...

I hope he stays alive so we can watch Alison lay into him.

Ughh.... I've taken to replying "if I had a quid for every time I've heard that, I could buy the isle of Lesbos outright."

On days like this I do wonder about the wisdom of giving internet access to fuckwits.

Because it comes across as 'tell what your economic status is, so I can immediately judge you.'

true dat

Totally true, not least because if you're poor and upper-class you still have an 'in' to the best schools and to white-collar jobs other people won't. And re: status, I'll never forget my mother telling me no matter how much money my Dad made, we would never be upper-class because we're Jewish, but not Rothschilds or…

My parents did that to me too! They got their wish and I ended up talking the sort of cut-glass RP that I worry makes some people want to punch me in the back of the head.

ready-made hostages for all!

BRANFLAKES, PEOPLE, BRANFLAKES. Pooing should not be difficult.

I think this has a lot to do with perceived authority. College porn is presented as "these are supposed to be "good ", hard-working girls, but look what sluts they really are, given the opportunity" i.e. their perceived authority is dimished. Belle is using sex to "better" herself financially and socially by funding…

EXACTLY. My mother is a feminist and raised me to believe I could pick whichever gendered characteristics suited me best, with the caveat that I had to be polite to other people and not do grim things like crotch-scratching in public. I turned out feminine, but regarding my femininity as a fun kind of drag I could…

Sellotape is a Britishism. Calling it just "tape" would sound bizarre. Not sure of the origins.

As a devotee of the massive handbag, I usually have my own 'kit' on me anyway: aspirins, mini toothbrush & paste, condoms, blister plasters, safetypins, free sample facial soap, stub eyeliner, facial blotting papers, mini concealer, shades, mini perfume, hairpins, lipbalm, pants. THERE IS A GLARING LACK OF PANTS IN…

Because some women are selfish arseholes who won't cut their damn nails *still bitter*

Really? I thought my vagina was of the Devil, but if you want me to uncage the beast...

Uhh do you mean in a dirty talk way? Or a deriding you for previous sexual partners way? The second one sounds unpleasant, fingers crossed I dodge that bullet.
