Number 5 mirror's alive
You inspired me to do the same, Scarlet. Jesus wept. ‘It can’t be as bad as I remember‘, I told myself. I was right about that. It was worse. OMFG! The total lack of preparedness. The nonsense about turning the shed into a kitchen ‘for social distancing purposes’. The looks on Eamonn and Ruth’s faces. The looooong silences with back to camera. The way that Ruth has to keep reassuring her. Un-bleeping-believable. How? How did she keep getting gigs? I’d understand it if the recordings were destroyed immediately after airing (to protect the innocent?) but it’s all out there. Ju....just.....HOW?I went back in time to #19 and watched the TM segment.
Holy. duck.
Thank(space)you for pointing that out re Travellers, we always seem to fall through the gaps and get forgotten .Breakdown? Seriously?
I'm all for speaking about mental illness and other tit conditions, but not endlessly. How dull would it be if bulimia were the most interesting thing in my life?
(I'll be honest, I also raise an eyebrow at this Hattie asking for "BIPOC" contributors. This acronym is a) a bit useless, grouping all non-white people in one acronym is reductive and, ironically, rather racist and b) very American. The indigenous people of the UK are the Celts, who have not been genocided, forced to live on reserves etc. Racism and discrimination are issues that vary according to context - for example, Travellers do not fall into the BIPOC acronym, but are one of the most discriminated-against groups in the UK. People applying US-specific ideas to the rest of the world really pisses me off.)
I forgot about this ! Do you think this is what she was referring to with the letter to my agent malarkey?@MancBee did you get a response from Trussell Trust.?
I consider Ruth and Eamonn to be far superior to the big headed dim duo of Holly and Phil and don’t get me started on Dermot. I hope Ruth tells ITV to shove it up their arse.According to todays papers the BBC have offered Ruth and Eamonn their own show
Sorry but we’ve had Krish mate - number 8Krish matey, it's number 80
Why she didn’t have the pasta already cooked and left simmering while she annihilated the remaining ingredients and left the TM producer imploring Ruth to coax her through the segment should be a question Jack asks herself every time she considers putting herself front and centre of a live broadcast.Mr mirror and I just watched lingreenie. His comment "has she bit off more than she can chew?" which made me hoot and fizz on so many levels. Thread suggestion please?
I like the last 4 words on that article. Seems like it's written from the heart.View attachment 319668

Typo there - should be 'your'.
She really needs an editor.
I agree with what others have pointed out regarding the name of this magazine, it's not exactly inspiring is it? And it's already being done, the mental health magazine Happiful has been going for a while and they have a reasonable following on Insta and Twitter. Interestingly, Hattie wrote articles for them last year, so she is definitely aware of their body of work...View attachment 319659
Great news, this tweet cured my anxiety disorder! I can't wait for more fresh insights from Breakdown.
