I am seriously in awe of all you witty, clever Hausfrauen on here.
that is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. And I collect porcelain clowns.
I'll have you know I'm a RENTED hausfrau. Which is a step up from poor Jack, who's just a rented shittybungalowfrau.I am seriously in awe of all you witty, clever Hausfrauen on here.
In one account, yes. In this telling, she seems mostly to have been abusing innocent biros. She just says whatever sounds the most fetchingly dramatic in the moment. She also comes across like a complete fantasist who imagines herself as the heroine of a film playing in her head. As far as I know, she wasn't commissioned by any media outlet to cover the referendum and yet there she was, breaking pens and snapping at Jude Law. After that, she probably ordered three dozen pizzas and worked through the night, ripping abortive accounts from her typewriter, screwing them into a ball and aiming them at a mesh waste paper basket. Ruffling her hair, staring into space, lighting one cigarette from another, until Louisa steals up behind her, massages her shoulders, and says "That's enough for tonight. You gotta rest. For your sake - and for the sake of the country that will still need you tomorrow!".I thought she wrote not my circus not my bleeping monkeys on the ballot paper.
what was Jude Law doing in Southend? Does he live there?
OT but I worked with Jude on a film and he was complete delight. Was fully prepared to hate him as I’d always thought he was a smug prickIn one account, yes.

As for Jude Law, duck knows. Apparently he was filming in Essex two months before she wrote this blog post. Maybe she really did yell at him about Redcar, or maybe she just thought she did because it sounded so good. We'll never know.

Entirely possible. And if she has an agent, then the agent gets a percentage of the royalties as well. Also, depending on the contract, if a subsequent book isn't selling as well as expected and hasn't repaid its advance, there may be a clause which allows the publisher to withold royalties on earlier books until the advance on the latest release is covered.I didn't realise you had to earn back the book advance, so maybe some of the "they are withholding my royalties" is I haven't sold enough books to earn royalties (just a thought, no evidence to back it up)
More OT but were his eyes as beautiful in real life??OT but I worked with Jude on a film and he was complete delight. Was fully prepared to hate him as I’d always thought he was a smug prick
Yes! He really isn’t my type at all but he oozes charm and charisma. I can see why he’s so popular.More OT but were his eyes as beautiful in real life??
Given that Jude Law was there, I expect that wasn’t just any old bar - maybe it was the Groucho Club, the private members’ club for media types in Soho? She must be, or have been, a member because in this article (linked) she says at one point (about when she gave up booze) “The Groucho rang me last week to find out if I was OK because I hadn’t been in”. Fancy, eh?I thought she wrote not my circus not my bleeping monkeys on the ballot paper.

Couldn’t read the archived posts because I can’t deal with class cosplay, amazed the journalist that wrote that had anything to say on her accent as she’s incredibly well spoken. Not notable public school well spoken admittedly, but certainly isn’t dropping any letters?Given that Jude Law was there, I expect that wasn’t just any old bar - maybe it was the Groucho Club, the private members’ club for media types in Soho?

A single glass of wine at the Groucho bar will cost you anything from £7 to £25. I’m guessing she spent quite a bit in there - both £ and time - if they were missing her so much they rang her up.
(In the article, she also refers to herself as “working class”. )
Poor poverty stricken Jack. She’s such a hypocrite.

He has filmed around here a couple of times. We get a few big celebrities here filming for That Man’s TV show on the pier. Mark Hamill was my personal favourite sightingI thought she wrote not my circus not my bleeping monkeys on the ballot paper.

But when she wrote about 'bleeping Redcar', she says that she went home then on to a bar, and I think by this point she was back living in Essex? Who knows. She's a riddle.
I believe there’s a hotel room based audition tape ready to go...I’m surprised she has never went on X Factor.
... wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in a veil of grated corned beef...Who knows. She's a riddle.
