That’s of course the same BBC who still employ John Inverdale, even after his “never going to be a looker” remarks against tennis champion Marion Bartoli a few years ago, and even after yesterday’s gaffe (perfectly slammed by Andy Murray):
It’s been nearly 21 years since my drink was spiked and my life changed course forever, and there aren’t enough words to thank these women for their actions in preventing another person falling victim to something similar.
My first impulse reaction to this story was to sort of point a finger at her for organising her disappearance and then not letting anyone know she was alive and alright... but then I realised (a) she’s only 19 and (b) regardless of age, when we feel under pressure we may end up doing stuff in ways that don’t make…
Why would anyone who could afford better than Uber, use Uber?
We all know most of our colleagues at work are incompetent frauds
nor is it ethical or journalistically sound to allow a subject to see or edit a piece before it runs
Although I general hate people who treat other people badly (‘paying customer’ status does not justify being an a-hole), I do derive some pleasure from the thought that she maybe gave Drumpf all hell.
Having read the entire judgement now, I’m afraid I can’t see how the judge could have come to any other conclusion than his:
You’re right in asking that question, because it probably isn’t that cut ‘n dried as I put it; in each relationship we may adopt different roles towards our partner and that won’t be a fixed black ‘n white thing... what I would say, though, is that one type isn’t necessarily better or worse than the other (whereas in…
I feel that I may be one of those women; likely a strong reason I am not in a relationship.
Sorry, but I had to stop watching a couple of minutes in, because it made me feel uncomfortable... throwing in clichés about being an Uber driver, selling biryanis under the counter, not paying tax... those aren’t funny jokes, they’re sincerely held beliefs among many a racist; wrapping them up in ‘comedy’ only works…
I admire your aspiration, but I worry that in the real world science writers end up on the breadline because “GETTING TATTOOS PREVENTS COLDS” is better clickbait than truth will ever be :(
Just curious... what makes any friend, ANY friend, mental illness or not, lash out at one’s partner like that? Not even when I was young and stupid and in a bad relationship did any of my friends go anywhere near lashing-out territory... the ‘worst’ they did was very carefully ask whether I was okay...
Aaaarrggghhh why are women still doing this to other women?! We couldn’t make my marriage work, but one thing (now ex-)husband and I did get right was to organise a wedding that wasn’t going to burden anyone with anything. So no bridesmaids, bridesmaids dresses, bridal showers, gift register or any of that overpriced…
It is a social construct. I know a number of women raised by loving parents who made sure they never had to want for or worry about anything. Which is beautiful and romantic but it also means they won’t notice things they’ve not been programmed to notice, if that makes sense, be it messiness (because someone else has…
Sounds great on paper, doesn’t work out like that in practice. I didn’t plan to go into hospital but one day I did, and ended up having to discharge myself because my husband just couldn’t hack running the household (and we didn’t even have his children living with us full time). No amount of post-divorce loneliness…
Surely if they’d cast the likes of Lauryn Hill she would have been a much bigger draw than Zoe Saldana?
For all the progressiveness and diversity you may find in LA and NYC (more than in Montana?), if that’s not represented in the people that operate the cities’ media, press/media will keep producing cringeworthy sh*t like referred to here.
I suspect when it’s something a white middle-class editor has newly discovered, it’s “new” and “hot” because they’d personally never seen it before. But, admittedly, that’s me talking from my own biased perspective of being white and having experienced UK media as being run & represented by a disproportionate number…
