I’m forever and a day grateful that the Christmas shoes has failed to make its hop over the pond and infest us here. Listening to it once on jez was enough for me, forever

Starred for Cheeto-Hitler von Putin - A+

Yeah I have the UK version: a mum who likes Nigel Farage and voted Brexit. Where do these people come from and how are we related?

I’ll join you in the thickos club - I never see any plot twist coming, and that one in Fleabag hit me like a sucker punch

That article is from March 2006. His son’s interview: “in January 2006 my dad had a stroke and lost the ability to speak.” So no, he didn't have a voice after that, and no comprehension of what was going on. Additionally, the family might have been slightly more concerned with their dad's rapidly declining health,…

Sue was absent from the live part of one because of a bereavement, but they still showed her taped segment. The rest of season 7 has already been filmed and the winner picked (the winner from season 6 had to hide their trophy under their bed until it was shown, haha).

This. 100%. My boyfriend has been healthy as a horse his whole life, and then was diagnosed with cancer (he's fine now). Sometimes you're just shit outta luck (or in luck with recovery etc.) and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

The thing I loved the most was her facial expressions - I feel I'd be exactly the same way, although never so eloquent with cameras in my face and the baking going wrong...

Hope for us all yet!

Hope for us yet!

I find the Mario Badescu one that Jillian has mentioned good for individual spot correcting, and I use a topical retinoid for when my skin is problematic. My skin does tend towards oiliness rather than dryness though, you’d need to make sure yours wasn’t too sensitive to these

Would definitely be interesting to see. The Americans have really engendered the muscular physique compared to the ‘willowy’ (read: completely stick thin) typical Russian/Chinese gymnast, and the difference is shown in the level of tumbling that they do. I wonder if the shift will be over to that athletic type…

There has been SO MUCH of this shit below every single article. “Oh Simone is really good but, you know, I miss the more artistic style of gymnastics”. Yeah the ‘artistic style’ is it, also known as you preferred it when anorexic 13 year olds from the Soviet Bloc were hoovering up all the titles. Fuck this blatant…

I still maintain you can’t really ‘spoil’ the news. It’s like when Robert Durst was arrested in New York before Californians had the last episode of The Jinx and were like ‘guys, spoilers’. He’s actually been arrested. In real life. That’s not a spoiler for the show. I get the time it was shown might be difficult for…

No you're right - it's anti brown people here at the moment. I was just using 'hate crime' in general rather than other homophobic crimes, but I do apologise if it looks like I'm derailing the conversation away from the very real and very horrifying homophobia clearly on the rise. I was doing a more general 'there's…

I mean, it's not like there's not ENOUGH hate crime. Being in Britain, the aftermath of Brexit has brought it all to the surface, and it's all so desperately sad. So fuck this guy if he is trying to scrape together an iota of publicity with a staged attack.

I think Marian Keyes talked about this with her book Rachel's Holiday - reviewers were very quick to call it 'frothy chick lit' even though the title was an obvious tongue-in-cheek when you got to the subject matter - namely, Rachel is a massive drug addict, in denial, and forced to go to rehab by her family. It was…

Apart from the fact their independence budget was based on fat oil revenues, and the oil price collapsed soon after they voted in. Not saying they shouldn't still leave, as I think they should, but this was another major point for them.

Argh published before I could write: has been the whole Leave campaign from the start - vague notions and no plans

Yeah but control and that, sovereignty, health and safety gone mad, too many immigrants.
