It’s OK, I’m pretty certain that I speak for most Brits when I say we don’t have any idea who Leigh-Anne Pinnock is either.

I mentioned to a friend how awful this must be for Billie, this is one hell of a lot of crap in one spoonful for her.

Articles like this make me want to buy my shiney, beautiful NHS a bunch of flowers and tell it thank you for providing free contraception with no judgement or complexity.

I’m now a mess of snot and tears:

I’m exactly the same - whilst the other deaths have been sad, this one has had me in floods of tears. No one has the right to dictate whether you can mourn someone or not.

I’m wondering if Tom Arnold is actually hoping to get sued, then the tapes would be subpoenaed as evidence thus can be released without having to pay the $5mil “leak fee”, as well as getting loads of media attention.

As in this one:

Damned it, all the betting sites only have odds on things like “next monarch” (I guess they don’t think Charlie boy will get a look in) and if Wills is going to have a 3rd sprog. I guess I’ll have to go into an actual bricks and mortar bookies when they reopen after the bank holidays to ask. One website has her down…

Oooh you are totally on point there, they look extremely poorly. The tricky part would be guessing which one first.

In that case, dibs Bieber.

Nah, he’s a yogurt weaver, he’ll probably try to enshrine compulsory meditation in law or something.

I’ve been considering putting an actual bet on it. Whilst, yes, her family and some of us Brits would be sad, she’s very old, she’s recently been requesting access to fund ring fenced for the poor to heat her palace, and we’d all get a national day of mourning to go to the pub, so I don’t feel as much shame as I…

I made this article into a jaunty Chrimbo song for my friend, enjoy.

Seriously, ARE YOU ME???

Nooooooooooooooo!! I went to the areas mostly populated by students so the shops would be quiet since they’ll have gone home for the holidays - and even then I got pissed off by being bumped and shoved on the bus anyway. I guess you’ll just have to give bags of flour out and tell people they’re a cute “bake your…

It’s Christmas day now here in Blighty. Having ducked out of going to the pub due to a physical malfunction, I am now partaking in the long standing British tradition of getting absolutely paralytic on Baileys for the entire day. I am so far half a bottle down, and need to reserve some for my breakfast, so am going…

Snap, I’ve spent today panic buying food to give as presents because I’m not feeling the festive inspiration (I’m a practical gift giver, gifts must be useful or food). TBH I’d rather just chill at home than be festive today.

Poor Gary, he must be so scared right now.

Oh my gosh that’s terrible. I am so sorry for you, her other friends and most of all her family - it’s a cruel loss at any time of the year, but just before xmas must really twist the knife.

YOU LEAVE CARRIE FISHER ALONE, 2016. SHE IS A GODDESS AND WE WILL FIGHT YOU FOR HER.
