I keep thinking about the humiliating effects that will stay with her for a lifetime. How she had no choice but to take it on the chin because the consequences of calling him out on it would have been even more horrendous. God, I hate bullies

Someone noted the other day that one of my very favorite movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, came out in 1981. It was set in 1936, 45 years earlier. A film premiering today that is set 45 years ago is set in....1981.

Is that the one with the razor blades? Or was that tales of the unexpected?

That’s terribly sad. She found herself thrust into the public eye through tragedy, and used that attention to do so much good. Warrington is proud of her. Rest in peace, great woman

I just wish I could work out a definite trigger for them

Oh God, yeah, like Razorlight, The Feeling, The Kooks are so old that Grandparents nod nostalgically 😬

Best character name too

Part of the deliciousness of the non-celeb version is their ‘getting to know’ phase, when alliances are made based on the character traits they (want to) demonstrate. With celebs, they arrive with knowledge aforethought which renders all their interactions somehow less intriguing and more hammy.

I could be wrong but I’m guessing you haven’t witnessed what children get up to in toilets unsupervised.

That last one 😍

It helped me

Aged 37… so she committed to that look in childhood. That is dedication

Yep…know your audience, ‘don’t elevate stuff they don’t want to see by quote sharing it’
