I’m not a fan but to be fair to her, it’s hard to tread the right line when you’re famous with an global obsessive fan base. It’s most likely her security people are carrying guns and would need to make a difficult choice if confronted with a knife-wielding stalker - which would also see her denounced as a hypocrite.…

At this point I don’t care if they’re trying to get the wedding paid for - I want the tv special!! This and the one with the cop were my favourites!

Ooh I’ve never heard of a boiled dinner - off for a Google ☺

I look nothing like my father either, doesn’t mean I’m not his!

Bit unfair to give an example of the princes behind the coffin as a mixed legacy - as I recall they were 15 and 13, their mother had been killed in a grisly accident and they were expected to walk in a procession through over a million people in the streets who were openly wailing, weeping and fainting (and close to a…

Under the Royal Marriages Act he has to get the monarchs permission before marrying- no permission, no marriage. So essentially the only other choice other than marrying mummy and daddy’s preference would be to stay single (and being the 80s, be dogged by speculation over his sexuality once he hit middle-age without a…

What is the not-pasta one? It looks delicious but all I recognise are the potatoes and carrots (no offence meant - non-american here! :-) )

Waiting for me to finish putting my makeup on and cuddle him

Hell yes. My husband’s a comic, I did the first year’s worth of shows to be supportive (including watching the really mediocre acts at the beginning of the night) but the last 4 years I’ve not been going. He needs that time to network and schmooze anyway, rather than have me follow him around the venue like a needy…

I’m so baffled by this - what exactly are they arresting them for? Especially for one day it seems like a massive overreaction - over here even when truancy is persistent it’s the parents who get a fine, not giving a young person a criminal record for something so trivial

So we’re surprised that a woman who’s had a real job for many years, paid her own bills and had to go on errands with the rest of us, is adapting well to learning how to wave at people for a living?

Maybe I’ve just seen bad drag? I’ve never seen a drag king show so I’d be interested in seeing whether that feels more like punching up than punching down.

I’m not sure they do leave their male privilege behind - at the end of the night they can take off their womanface and go home. And unless they’re naturally flamboyant or femme when they’re out of character, they can travel home a lot more safely than the women in the audience. I’ve never understood how feminist blogs…

They’re hardly your off-the-street plebs- apart from the charities, most are actually crown staff and their families. One of the schools was set up for children of Windsor staff and the other is a very expensive private school that most British subjects can’t afford. I’d love to know how they manage security vs…

Thank you!! Appreciate you taking the time to share these

Thank you!@

I’ve not heard about this before - where would I start to look to educate myself about this? (Or even starting points for a Google search would be helpful if you have them, please). I’ve only ever heard about abuse in indigenous communities but didn’t know this wasn’t already part of the culture...

I’m getting so sick of this shit. The UK had come a long way from the ‘No Dogs, Black or Irish’ in the last 30 years because of a lot of hard work by various communities to promote cohesion, and it was working. But economic inequality is becoming more & more rampant leading to resentment and friction, which I’m…

US citizens voted in Cheeto-face, we’ve got no choice on the royals as the government won’t risk a referendum on it

Agreed, there are plenty of photos of her wearing black formal dresses to premieres etc. She could have done that without a Time’s Up badge as a compromise. It was a deliberate (and poor) choice.
