my hate word btw is karma. It never means what people who say this try to say (but it sounds soooo cool, so they just say it), and is highly insulting to those who actually get what it means.
I have a list as long as my arm of words and phrases I irrationally hate. I also hate certain names too, because I always associate them with colours and smellsI’m also more random in my irrational word hates. I’m not a fan of colours “popping”. I’m also apparently not a fan of using confronting as an adjective, sorry BW. Loved the video otherwise, it was very powerful. But “it was the most confronting thing” made me silent scream. (Waiting for a tattler who actually understands grammar to tell me ‘that’s not an adjective!’)
Thank you for this, your kids are so lucky to have you. I hope very soon the world you describe will exist.I think I’ve said on here before, but I hope that soon “coming out” will be seen as a thing people did in ye olden days. I hope my kids don’t feel they need to “come out” to me, because no one should feel it’s something to confess. I talk about future relationships with the kids in terms of “you might have a girlfriend or a boyfriend/husband or wife” - obviously they might have neither/both/someone non-binary, but they’re quite small so I’m keeping things simple!
From what I’ve read, Olivier is fairly private about it all - although didn’t he refer to Alice as his ‘pink’ period and his current partner as his ‘blue’ period? I thought that was funny and elegant. I think I’m mostly proud of myself for getting the joke though!
Edit - Ah, @PinkyWinky has posted the actual quotes! Alice was during his blue period not the other way around
Do you have synesthesia? Magical!I have a list as long as my arm of words and phrases I irrationally hate. I also hate certain names too, because I always associate them with colours and smellsYes, I am strange.
You probably have a form of Synesthesia like I do! I associate all sorts of words and numbers with colours, and loads of other weird things.I have a list as long as my arm of words and phrases I irrationally hate.

I HATE when someone says something 'was confronting'. It doesn't feel accurate to me, even though I'm far from a grammar pro. Wouldn't 'it really confronted me' or 'it was something I found very confronting' be better?I’m also more random in my irrational word hates. I’m not a fan of colours “popping”. I’m also apparently not a fan of using confronting as an adjective, sorry BW. Loved the video otherwise, it was very powerful. But “it was the most confronting thing” made me silent scream.

This was his first big mistake. Must have been raging hormones. Stupid to get mixed up with a woman who was thus cheating on her partner.we actually dont know exactly how long. Ioan mentioned in may 2001 (that's 7 months before Alice broke up with OP) that he was in a relationship but early days yada yada. Back then when they came out with this relationship they claimed that they got closer while Alice was shooting Abduction Club with Matthew Rhys, which was 2001. But a few years back she claimed that in early 2000 they were already "friends" (after initially not liking each other while shooting 102 Dalmatians) and another time she claimed that she and Ioan had their first date at the end of 1999. Whenever people asked Alice on twitter when she and Ioan started their relationship she never gave an exact answer.
They talk a lot about Karma over there in her cult, but it seems like she got something of her own medicine.
Haha yes! When I hear the word “gush” the only thing that pops into my head is when my waters broke!Can I please request the word "gush" gets put behind a spoiler?Honestly, that word gives me the full ick I've had to skim read a LOT today to try and avoid it
ETA: as a separate point to BW's video! I don't mean to tear apart someone's heartfelt, emotional video about a very difficult situation. I just find words and their usage really fascinating.I HATE when someone says something 'was confronting'. It doesn't feel accurate to me, even though I'm far from a grammar pro. Wouldn't 'it really confronted me' or 'it was something I found very confronting' be better?
I've noticed people using 'addicting' a lot too rather than 'addictive', which seems incorrect to me (but might not be!).
Well, it does say 'your favourite people'.

Ha ha my dog was imported from USA and he didn’t have sedatives or anything… what a knobhead he/she isOk so this about how dogs are treated on airlines is just not true. I worked for an airline and can hand on heart say the area reserved for live animals is definitely heated. If you turn up with an animal that you have not made prior arrangement for and it's the only animal in that flight, you will be rejected as it takes over over an hour for the hull to be heated. And during the flight the crew will go into the hull to spend time with and check on the animals. The standard practice is for animals not to be sedated as the heartbeat slows down.
Typical Alice, talking out of her arse AGAIN. Tone has zero idea about what utter bullshit he is saying. This actually makes me angry.
Thanks for the link, hon. Oh, it's written by Tess Stinson! Who had an affair with a much older married man and then complained bitterly all over the press when he divorced her for an even younger woman. Of course she'd attach herself to this saga sans a single bit of research and objectivity, it figures.Paywall free version: https://archive.fo/5I47o
Right now I’m hating the word “FUCKO!”I’m also more random in my irrational word hates. I’m not a fan of colours “popping”. I’m also apparently not a fan of using confronting as an adjective, sorry BW. Loved the video otherwise, it was very powerful. But “it was the most confronting thing” made me silent scream. (Waiting for a tattler who actually understands grammar to tell me ‘that’s not an adjective!’)
Possibly! I was watching an interview with Finneas, Billie Eilish’s brother, and he has it and was describing it, and that’s my experience too. But like I said, sometimes it leads to me intensely disliking names and wordsThank you for this, your kids are so lucky to have you. I hope very soon the world you describe will exist.
In other news my trivial pursuit game got postponed so I'm strapping in for a day of paperwork and tattlefollowed by three sharp ones
Do you have synesthesia? Magical!
I’ve heard “addicting” to mean “addictive” quite a lot and although it grinds my gears (along with things being “confronting”) it’s mostly likely just language drift and I’m being a grumpy old woman shaking my fist at nothing! I’m sure the meaning is clear for everyone under 30.I HATE when someone says something 'was confronting'. It doesn't feel accurate to me, even though I'm far from a grammar pro. Wouldn't 'it really confronted me' or 'it was something I found very confronting' be better?

Yeah. I like the Buddhist and Hindu philosophy behind it but it’s lost it’s meaning now, with ballbags like the FMs using it to wish ill on others, and the hun brigade on my Facebook always posting hilariously misappropriated quotes about itUsing Karma irritates me too. Always used by angry people who are actively just wishing something bad to happen to someone else, which hypothetically means they would also experience karma. So essentially a huge karma infinity loop with no sense of the irony
