OMG, you’re RIGHT about Freddie (George Warleggen). “Hilariously excellent”, indeed! I’m possibly the world’s biggest ‘Blandings’ fan. Last year was fun, seeing Timothy Spall receive so much recognition for his role in ‘Mr. Turner’, but I will always love him for playing Lord Emsworth so brilliantly.

This eminently giffable clip agrees with you re: the women in the family. I die.

OMG Blandings. Love it. Tell me, does Freddie crash his horse every time he appears in Poldark?

Well, I need no excuse to sit inside hissing at the light and watching videos of baby goats on Youtube instead. I hope your parents have a lovely time!

Yes! Loved Verity last night and was hoping that she’d run off with her potential hubby but I’m sure we’ll find out in a later episode that she made the right decision. Cuz she seems like the kind of woman who usually does make the right decision.

Do it. You will not regret it. I am making you this promise. Look at this. You want this:

Verity is the absolute best and I can confirm that 90% of the show is the men making dreadful decisions and the women being completely and utterly done with your shit, Francis.

Like, I can’t be mad at the tourist trade because it’s how Cornwall makes a huge amount of its (badly needed) money, but every year when the…

My husband (An actual Cornishman) had this to say: “Why is a nice Cornish maid being played by a Red headed lass? Ought to be a brunette, she.”

Also, a really fun drinking game to play is to have a drink whenever there’s a long shot of a galloping horse ride along the coast, or a longing glance at someone.

Cousing Verity! Yus!

If you’re down with Cousin Veritys, read Connie Willis’s time travel comedy masterpiece, To Say Nothing of the Dog!

My two favourite places are Bodmin Moor:

I work for a PBS station and while I love that I have scored many a picture of Poldark to hang around my cubicle, there is also a TERRIFYING full body pillow of him sitting in my colleagues chair across the way (colleague is on vacay until he returns tomorrow to find his seat taken by this abomination). The pillow…

I am Cornish and am bracing myself in fear that so many people will visit Cornwall this summer out of love for Poldark that there will be no icecreams left anywhere AND THEN WHAT SHALL WE DO

P.S. Poldark is cracking though. And although Aidan Turner is impossibly beautiful, I spent a lot of the series gazing at Eleanor…

Aidan Turner’s bare chest is a sign that we live in a universe with a kind and benevolent Goddess. The series is brilliant. Admittedly, Ross isn’t everything the series premiere makes him out to be—he’s shown to be hotheaded, entitled, unwilling to look beyond his own sense of righteousness—and seeing the female…

This weekend an unvaccinated six year old boy was the first person to die of diptheria in 28 years in Spain. His parents rejected getting him vaccinated and now he’s dead. A vaccinated child is much better then a dead one.

Not enough, imo

Fact.

That’s a toddler at best, Dennis.

So first, “freedom of speech” in the U.S. context means that Congress can’t make any laws infringing freedom of speech, not that anyone can say anything at any time without consequences.
