On a quick scroll, I thought it was Cindy!

Mostly creative half-curtsying for pictures (which was disguised by my dress), and not wearing ridiculous heels as I usually do. Also prompted by an earlier comment of “Hey, I didn’t know Stephen Merchant was invited to this”.

Would you come to my wedding?

Normally I am the same, hardly the paradigm of selflessness, and I wonder if it’s that self-awareness of just how selfish I can be that drove me to find potential problems where there might not have been any.

Now that’s dedication. I do hope she would have been okay with you using the sling.

I thought incidents like this were the stuff of myth. When my best friend got married, I even felt bad I was taller than her and tried to find ways to make myself seem shorter so I’d not take all the attention.

Oh. My. God. I had forgotten Dinosaucers. That’s made my night better.

Oh, I know. Like danideluna said, look at Love Story, where no one even tells the patient, they just tell the man.

I hate them, but perhaps my hatred of them stems from people always saying “hey, you’re tall, you should wear maxidresses!” as if it’s the only option for us tall freaks.

Chip butties for everyone!

Yup. The Parisian metro is awful for harassment. I’ve had my arse grabbed, my breasts grabbed at, been told I was a bitch for telling someone to leave me alone (that was a particularly horrible incident, and involved a combo of both the aforementioned gropes too).

Only 100? That can’t be true, as I had that one. Sadly, I don’t anymore.

That’s the thing! My same reaction to that girl who shot the giraffe “for the villagers”. Even if you are “helping”, how can you be so happy about it?

Noooo! I have done the first part (I didn't know my period had started, we did it, I found out what it tastes like) and I'm a LIGHT flow person and wanted to vomit. Bless you both.

Oh how I love Working Girl. When I had my first paper accepted at a conference, after years of being a secretary, I listened to Let The River Run and finally felt I was about to do something that was solely mine. I'm still at the bottom of the heap, but that was a good day.

I actually didn't find that very disgusting. I guess because they make cream cheese with chives and herbs etc., so ranch isn't too big of a leap? Cream cheese + mayo sounded MUCH worse.

Same here! I was expecting a change to go with the A Body for Every Body tagline, as the bodies in that ad all seem to be the same one...

Some of my key pieces were from Delia's back in the day. I distinctly remember a pair of neon green terrycloth platforms that I really wish I'd kept.

YES. I'm going to go grab a coffee and then read the shit out of these. (I apologise that I get so much entertainment from the horrors that others have experienced...)

I first read chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick as chocolate covered cheesesteak on a stick, which I was excited to read about. Perhaps an idea for next year.
