Hello, I hope you’re all enjoying Normal People on the BBC. I can’t myself because Connell looks exactly like my little brother.

Does anyone ever have this opposite laundry problem - where you’ve worn all your saggy comfy pants and all you’ve got left are tiny sexy lacy ones you wore once 2 years ago? It’s a NIGHTMARE. They HURT.

I’m not being funny or bitter but your place in the queue for Spice Girl tickets should be directly related to how much percentage of your parent’s income was spent on their merchandise in the 90s

When I was 8, my aunt’s cat attacked me when I was practising my violin.
Since then, whenever anyone in my family sees a cat of any kind it’s ‘Oh god Rebecca don’t get your violin out!’
I haven’t played violin in 24 years.

So a brilliant woman smashes it in her career and she’s still flagged up as someone else’s ex? We’ve got to do something about this climate, and I don’t just mean the mental weather.

UPDATE:
After spending morning grumbling re: not getting tix, then feeling terrible about just how much money my working class parents spent on Spice shite - get email from mum.
She’s surprised me with a £200 ticket.
The sweetest, most unintentionally infantilising thing ever.

Pls tell all the young women you know- this girl has skin treatments every week for her job as a supermodel & influencer. You can see the dermabrasion results in the ad.
No shame on her for that, but suggesting to fans her flawless skin is a result of her range is manipulative.

Legally Ginge.
So grateful to @aak1880 & @khalid4PB for asking me to speak. I opened with how incredible I am at singing Celine Dion at karaoke, quoted RuPaul, & talked about how the word ‘gaslighting’ gave me my voice.
Share your experiences. Feel the fear & do it anyway.

There are so many unsung people involved in making a performance truly great. A brilliant actor is one thing, but to be able to collaborate and learn is what makes an artist. Polly and Rami both are that 🔥

I once covered my mum’s kitchen floor in salt, happily tap dancing & singing ‘The Windy City’. She made me want to be not only an actress, but a joyous, unabashed ham.

Can't stop thinking about Gillian Anderson in 'Sex Education', and how it's the sexiest she's ever been, and whether or not the character is meant to be Meryl Streep in 'Devil Wears Prada's nympho twin.
Also, it's absolutely brilliant.

Me: ......All My Sons.

Jokes on us guys! All this time we thought Basil Fawlty a hate filled, slightly racist comic creation. Where in fact, he was John Cleese all along
Some years ago I opined that London was not really an English city any more
Since then, virtually all my friends from abroad have confirmed my observation
So there must be some truth in it...
I note also that London was the UK city that voted most strongly to remain in the EU

New Year’s Eve, 2009. At a posh luvvie party, Fiona Shaw leans over to me & a mate & says ‘this is boring, shall we go for a curry?’. We see Jan 1st in singing with the waiting staff in a deserted Indian restaurant. Never thought she could get any cooler.
Then I saw Fleabag ep2.

3 things make me angry:
-Being spoken over,
-Being underestimated,
-Picking up other people f**king coffee cups to put in a f**king bin in sh**ty central London, not being able to find one & being forced to admit littering pr**ks have a point.
One of those is happening now.

Never been more grateful to all of the others. ALL, for better or worse, have taught me something about myself, love & respect.
