Fair enough. Not everyone likes a party
Fair enough. Not everyone likes a partyIm not a big fan of weddings either tbh! Its okay not to love them you know!
I like a party. But its a party with a load of people you dont know and while they're a party its a very structured day, the strucutre ruins the fun.Fair enough. Not everyone likes a partyjust think it’s a bit mean to constantly complain about them in public when clearly she has been to many of her pals’ weddings. And we know she loves being social so what is it about them?
I don't like them either, especially the insane amount of money some people spend, but to liken them to a funeral is awful. So what does she do, just sit there sulking in a black dress?Im not a big fan of weddings either tbh! Its okay not to love them you know!
Yeah I love them for the fun factor but god recent ones I've been too have cost a damn fortune. And hen parties are so excessive. I like to go for the fun and to have a laugh but I would be happy with a local meal and night out for mine.I like a party. But its a party with a load of people you dont know and while they're a party its a very structured day, the strucutre ruins the fun.
Also they are an outrageously expensive day!
Hahaha. So true. She seems like the type that would love just her own wedding as it's all about her.I’ll eat my hat if one day she doesn’t have a big ol’ wedding in some sort of flamboyant sixties wedding dress with kooky kohl eyeliner and a brigitte bardot hairdo.
I’d like to add ‘barefoot’ to your excellent prediction.Funnily enough I’ve just seen a screen grab of her book on insta and it is a passage about marriage and the smugness of married couples
Fine — I concede that not everyone likes weddings, apparently.But I’ll eat my hat if one day she doesn’t have a big ol’ wedding in some sort of flamboyant sixties wedding dress with kooky kohl eyeliner and a brigitte bardot hairdo.
I think she'll do a destination wedding on a beach, forcing all of her guests to fork out for flights/hotels etcI’d like to add ‘barefoot’ to your excellent prediction.
Also do you recall that ages ago when discussing Pandora’s wedding, dolly mentioned something about her dress and was being generally lovely about the wedding. They continued chatting and then pandora threw in a ‘don’t copy my dress though’ comment. It made me laugh at the time.
She’d be mad not to, the number of extended wedding celebrations she seems to have forked out for over the years.I think she'll do a destination wedding on a beach, forcing all of her guests to fork out for flights/hotels etc
I agree. Could have been twice as good with half the descriptions.Did anyone read the extract of Dolly’s book in the ST Style this weekend? I honestly thought it was awfuleverything was so overly described
I thought the references and explanation of ‘types’ on dating apps were trying a bit too hard. This is something I notice a lot in the light-hearted fiction written by (and for) 30-something women - multiple, ultimately pointless pop culture references which date very quickly.Did anyone read the extract of Dolly’s book in the ST Style this weekend?

Completely agree. I really like her writing and always read it but I was so disappointed by this - as a previous commenter posted a few pages back, it really does read just like semi trashy chick lit. There was a reference to sun-kissed toffee hair or something that just made me cringe!!!I agree. Could have been twice as good with half the descriptions.
I think Dolly is a good writer but fiction is a whole different ballgame to articles and memoir.
Isn't it interesting though that her book has an extract printed whereas Pandora's didn't get this honour? Speaks volumes about the quality of Pandora's writing (which I think was noted by someone else upthread)
Oh I really liked the extract! The only thing I didn't agree with was just those pigeonhole descriptions - they miss out my genre of preferred men entirely i.e. the foreigners!I agree. Could have been twice as good with half the descriptions.

More power to them if they’re using our comments as constructive criticism. I might even start listening to the podcast again.Thoughts on this week’s podcast?
Overall I found it quite an enjoyable easy listen - seems they have their mojo back!
The only negative point for me was the skirting around the subject of miscarriage rather than have a real discussion.
100% think they either look on here or have people sending them things we say on her.
I agree, maybe it’s a coincidence but the last few weeks I have found them a bit easier to listen to.More power to them if they’re using our comments as constructive criticism. I might even start listening to the podcast again.
