I had no idea there was a video game based around Violette Szabo! Im off to google that right now. I spent way too much time in my childhood pretending to be S.O.E. heroines. These ladies and Odette Churchill, and the great Australian spy Nancy Wake -I’d love to see an article about her too.

I have baby fine very greasy hair that looks revolting if I don’t shampoo every day. Klorane is the one I always come back to - the oat milk one, not the nettle milk. John Frieda and Lee Stafford make good ones. Shwarzkopf is decent and fairly cheap. Tresemme was disgusting, it felt like watery hairspray. I’m using…

It just about broke my heart to lose them. Long boring story but someone decided they were old and germy and a waste of space and threw them out.

I love this. My first job was for the Salvation Army, sorting through donations and deceased estates. My favourites were the old magazines, some of them dating from the late 1800s. These were considered junk so I got to take them home. I wish I still had them.

This was the most enjoyable article I've read on Jezebel in yonks. I've been fascinated by the story of the lovely Elisabeth ever since I first saw the glorious Winterhalter portrait in a terrific history book I got for my 13th birthday called The Fall of Eagles, all about the Hapsburg, Romanov and Hohenzollern…

Oh well. I hardly ever post so I can't say it ever bothered me greatly. I'm just feeling overly sensitive the past few days so seeing my words in the black actually made me smile for the first time in a while. I've gotta find happiness however it comes.

Hold on. I'm not grey any more? I love the new Kinja!

Just wanted to say hey and hope things are going better for you. New Kinja sucks. Didn't they try this format already? So hard to follow on my tablet.

God, you're having a rough trot lately aren't you. It's hard, I know living so far from the people you love and not being able to help.

I'm so glad you're back posting here MsFMercury. I've thought about you so often over the past weeks, feeling so bad because I couldn't help in any way.

I'm on the other side of the world unfortunately. They keep promising us Netflix but it never seems to happen.

It's my birthday next week and I'm throwing out hints for The X-Files box set.

I was over The X-Files by season 9 so I don't remember that one. I do remember that the early episodes often had Scully saying "Mulder...it's looking for a host". And then you would see some creepy thing moving under someones skin.

Happy birthday! I'll be 50 in a couple of weeks. It's a milestone I guess. I keep waiting to feel it but really it's just another birthday. Maybe I'll feel different after it's over.

I keep coming back here hoping to see a new message from you. Please let us know that you're OK and tell us how we can make things better for you. We all want to help. We are not going away.

Please still be around to read this. I want you to live. You are are important even if you don't think so right now. Help is there for you. Please call lifeline or the suicide prevention hotline. I'm a stranger from across the sea and right now all I can think about is you and what you are planning to do, the same…

It was the first time I'd ever been to a 'real' theatre. The travel to Sydney and the tickets and hotel cost me about 2 weeks wage! I sat in the first row 2 seats down from Geoffrey Rush who apologised when he bumped against me and ACTUALLY SMILED AT ME and yes I meant to shout that. Russell Crowe was there but you…

Blanche. I saw it in Sydney about 5 years ago. I came out of the theatre feeling as though I had been punched in the gut, it was just so realistic and brutal. 3 & 1/2 hours long as I remember with queues a mile long for the loo at interval.

I'm glad she's on the list. I wishes she and every other actor mentioned by Dylan Farrow had turned down offers to appear in Woody Allen's films. I wish they had the courage to say publicly that yes he makes great movies but that he's a shitty human being and they don't want to associate with him. Just Iike I want…

Who's saying she shouldn't be called out? That wasn't what I meant at all. I'm disgusted by her support of these people.
