Possibly they can take advantage of a different retail landscape in the US though. Or there’s room for them - especially something like Primark - where there literally just wasn’t before.

Regarding whether Zayn has made a sizeable donation already to his mum’s best friend’s cancer treatment:

Jeffrey Dahmer would have loved one. Would it have stopped him killing people? I honestly don’t know.

His child bride who is a rhythmic gymnast and contortionist. That was not something I knew.

I’d add Christiane F to that. Unrelentingly grim from start to finish.

To me it looks like something you’d plug into a stand of some sort. So like, she’s not holding it in her hand, she’s attached it to something and she’s riding it.

You can also see where people weren’t that good at making clothes. I have a dress which I think is from the 50s that I got from a vintage shop. There was a whole bunch of them which must have come from one person, and all but the one I bought fit horribly. And even the one I got has a weird pleat at the front which…

My aunt has told my mother (hasn’t spoken to me directly, but you know) that as the sole vegan of the family, she wants me to provide the vegetarian/vegan option for my cousin’s wedding. There is a tradition in my family of family bringing a dish/helping out (we don’t spend a lot of money on weddings), but this... for…

So in Georgia, I’d have to have a baby with someone whose surname is Brown in order to name it Nina Bo’Nina Banana Fofana Osama Bin Laden Brown, is that what you’re saying? Speaking entirely hypothetically, of course.

I once had a customer called Tequila.

I mean it’s not like Stella McCartney’s name didn’t help her in the fashion industry (and imo she designs incredibly ugly clothes) but point taken.

Do you really think Noel Fielding wouldn’t be supportive of contestants? He has his faults comedically, but he always comes across as being a genuinely nice guy - he’s not snarky or anything.

There isn’t a rational answer. It isn’t about rationality, it’s about national identity.

As a mild republican (I would rather we were a republic, but I’m not that arsed about it and am largely indifferent to the royal family) I honestly don’t know how I’ll feel when the Queen dies. Given that I’m the sort of person to start welling up when they see someone else crying, I’ll probably get infected by the…

There is a fantastic story about a Saudi prince being a little taken aback by her offer to drive him round Sandringham for a tour (given that obvs women don’t drive in Saudi, but also understandably expecting her to have a driver regardless) and then being absolutely petrified by her mad off-road skills. I don’t know…

I think this is meant to be more of a single act of protest - it’s different to a strike against a particular employer. If you are a member of a union and you strike, the union will formally negotiate with the employer for particular demands, which isn’t the case here. Happy to be corrected on this, but that’s my…

So I used to have a big old crush on Hiddles, which I got over before the Hiddleswift thing because I concluded that he’s probably quite dull, and reading this I kind of hate the fact that he’s definitely the kind of guy who is usually attracted to me (in personality, I’m not saying he’d necessarily take a second look…

I’m pretty sure he actually does have blue blood in his veins through his mother’s side. But point taken, though I still think it’s completely ridiculous to call very very rich people ‘middle class’.

Halfway through the article (and thank you Bobby for pointing me towards this gift) and there is NO WAY that Hiddles’ family is ‘solidly middle class’. I hate the way English rich people always insist that they’re ‘middle class’ because they struggled to send their kids to Eton. If you can send your kids to Eton on…

Love how all the Daily Mail commenters are saying that the extreme left are worse: last time I checked, no one from Unite Against Fascism had committed murder. Not that UAF is ‘extreme’, but I imagine that’s the kind of organisation they’re thinking of.
