Vick is smart - pretty sure she's been on judging panel for book awards, hosts shows about books, went to Cambridge etc. She comes across well on her show with Jordan and was lovely on Strictly. She was in a long term relationship with the guy from Inbetweeners. Her and Calvin look very happy together. Would be easy for her to become one of those big duck lip love island types but she hasn't.

Vick Hope didn't come across as very likeable when she did Strictly; she was partnered by Graziano (it was his first year in the show) and she blamed not doing well in not being able to understand his accent. Vick studied Modern Languages at Cambridge University and speaks French, Spanish and Portuguese, and Graz's English was easy enough to understand. I find her very smug.
I haven’t caught up on this thread since my last post about not liking Vick Hope 😂 but she is very smug!!! On the surface she comes across as nice but if you really listen to her radio show she does put Jordan down a lot, she comes across as she feels she’s superior to him because she’s smarter, like instead of running with a joke she’ll put him down and then it becomes awkward 😬 so no, I’m not a fan. I don’t hate her as much as I hate Steven Bartlett though she’s not at that level of smug twatiness 😂

The thing about pronouns is that EVERYONE refers to other people as him/he/she/her based on what people look like. It’s a natural way to speak to/about people. Yet when you get someone who is gender neutral, you’re expected the suddenly be aware of using that instinctive language and correct yourself before you’ve even spoke.
But this is exactly the same with titles? Mr, Miss, Mrs, Dr…

We don’t get this “stop the world, I wanted to get off!” whenever somebody gets married and might change from Miss Smith to Mrs Smith.

You can’t tell what title someone is by looking at them either. We try and remember the new title and apologise if we use the wrong one when speaking to them. I’m pretty sure that is all that non-binary people are asking of us.

it can be confusing using the term they/them for a singular person
Is it? We have been saying phrases like “If the customer who left the umbrella at reception comes back, tell them it’s in the lost and found box” for years. The singular “them“ has always existed.
Imagine this, you’re in a restaurant and a man at the next table asks for a menu. The waiter says “of course sir let me just get that for you”. And the man then goes on to explain they’re actually gender neutral and don’t answer to the term “sir”. What is that waiter supposed to do? Apologise? For just being polite? No fuck that. And that’s why people can’t be doing with it all.
Again – it’s the same with titles. People are more than comfortable with correcting and apologising when a Dr is called a Miss or whatever. It is exactly the same thing.

How pedantic do you want to be? His album sales have nosedived since In The Lovely Hour, when he was plain old Sam, and despite no figures being available for Gloria, he's dropped 12 places off the chart during music awards week when most artists see a massive uplift in sales.
You are wrong. Sam’s album is at number five this week in the sales chart. The four albums above it a new releases, so naturally would have more sales.

Definitely not. He must have people around him telling him “slay Queen” and how amazing he looks.
They are supposed to be dating some designer. They have been papped cuddling a few times. I'm all for someone wearing what they want regardless of what anyone else thinks but when it starts to risk your health then it isn't really worth it. You can see their stomach is all red from the top being too tight on them and I don't even want to think about what it's doing to their circulation.
