“America will ruin Love Island”

Saw one of these on the tube the other day and it gave me a pleasant snort-laugh. Without a doubt, the fact that we view death as “hushhhhh so serious we can’t talk about it!” is the reason funeral costs are so high.

Thank you for articulating what I didn’t have the energy to. Historically, I’ve always been pretty meh on every single one of the Kardashians, occasionally moving into the defensive, because the hate after the robbery was just cruel and every time I see the word “Kartrashians” it makes my left eye twitch. The…

This is now making me think because my name is double barreled (with father’s name last) and when my partner and I marry our (hopefully) children will be double barreled with his surname last, but in both instances this is purely down to how it sounds....off to mental crowd sourcing of other double barrels I know to…

I think you mean

How Can You Leave If You Were Never There To Begin With?

I know it’s old news, but someone needs to tell Avril that bleach blonde is not her colour. As a fellow red toned pale girl, we can’t carry it off.

Back when I was in school we had a biology lesson where the teacher took our class plant and smothered Vaseline over half of the leaves. We all came in the next week to a very dead plant. It was supposed to teach us about how plants take in oxygen through their leaves but it really ensured that I never used vaseline…

That was an incredibly long thought meander and I loved it and was with you the whole way!

I have tickets to see her at Wembley in October and I have never been so excited! I’m taking my mum because none of my age-appropriate friends can appreciate her, but we will be wine-drunk and dancing in the cheap seats :D

I have to say, I don’t think anyone in England has given it a thought. No one seems to be able to remember what day it’s on and the answer is always (“same day as the FA Cup Final”). We’re not getting a Bank Holiday for “the spare” so there’s not much to get excited about

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that in this situation the boyfriend or brother is the aggressor. I don’t know her, I wasn’t there. I just believe, borne out by my personal experience, that in any domestic situation it’s worth taking a breath before assuming the facts.

I may have mentioned on here before that I did a brief spell as a PC in the UK and we were always trained that in a domestic abuse situation, it is more often than not the victim who becomes violent toward police. Usually because they make the call and then panic at what the consequences will be for them if their…

To England. So I guess, cross the sea is more accurate?

I don’t know where you’re based but there’s an amazing charity in the U.K. whose work will hopefully become less needed. The Abortion Support Network provide funding and a comfortable place to stay for women who are forced to cross the boarder to get an abortion. There are hosts throughout England who offer their…

I know this wasn’t the whole point of your post, but I would also like a lot more focus placed on the producers, funders and big corporations that are making Woody Allen films happen than on the actors that are hired. The actors themselves have a lot more to lose by speaking out than we do by speaking anonymously on…

I have always haa huge secret thing for BBT. Glad to hear it’s not just me - there is something bizarrely sexy about that man

It is. Reading it there made me realise how often I’ve heard a variation on the same thing in domestic abuse scenarios. If you are such a delicate flower that having your wife dress you down is enough to make you attack her with a hammer, you are not fit for society.

Three years this was going on for. Three years. How?? What is this, some kind of white supremacist fight club?

“She was always belittling him”

Co-signed for hating Nicholas Cages face with an irrational passion. However, I will probably add this to my list of Nicholas Cage films I have actually watched and secretly enjoyed more than once *cough* Knowing *cough*
