I’m also not on board with the penis shaming... I reckon someone’s behaviour and choices are fair game, but not their anatomy

They were good but yes I did rage a bit about the whole ease of a special school. It took me two years of sweat, rage, tears and despair watching my son struggle before they finally agreed he needed more specialised support than mainstream could give.I binged The A Word and There She Goes recently too. I thought they were both really good and both resonated with me. My son is autistic too. Of course they use a bit of artistic licence - in The A Word they manage to get their son into a specialist school remarkably easily- but it was well-written on the whole.
The humour in There She Goes is jet black but the way the parents talk about their child in private is not unlike the way me and my husband joke about our kids
Even more rage and tears when they tried to remove his EHCP at 16. I threatened them with Tribunal and eventually the local authority backtracked. I tried mainstream college in the SEN dept with my son and it was a nightmare...he needed to go back into a school based system and now attends the sixth form of a special school.
Anyway....I digress.
As you all were

Im Welsh and Tom Jones is like a god here, but I’ve never really liked him. I find him sleazy and he treated his late wife like dirt constantly cheating on her in public. Anyway about two years ago my brother had a barbecue in his garden and somehow the chat turned to Tom Jones and my sister in laws grandmother suddenly pipes up that hes always made her feel ill and that she thinks he’s ‘ a pervert‘. Everyone else was appalled that she slated this a Welsh living legend, but I was secretly pleased that someone else in Wales saw him as I do.
I think he’s got skeletons. Although much like Cliff it won’t come out till after he’s dead.
I remember Kelly Brook saying when she started out the one bit of advice Ross gave her was don't sleep with Mick hucknell

Adam Ant spoke candidly about his BPD well before it was fashionable (for want of a better word) to do so and wrote about it in his book, which was excellent.
He certainly raised awareness, both when he had his breakdown and when he spoke about it years later. From the fan pages on FB there are people who say he helps them come to terms with their own BPD. He indirectly helped my friend after a breakdown when I got her tickets to a gig to give her something to look forward to...it worked a treat and the gig was amazing too!
I’ve always loved him and after reading the book a certain song makes me feel very sad because I know what he was going through while it was being made. I hardly listen to it now and it was one of my favourites.
I've met Phil twice and he was lovely on both occasions. I can see Mack being a prick though I kinda wish he wasn't
Re Watkins, previous threads covered this and triggered other users. Please can this not be repeated? I think we can all agree he is a vile man and he's in the best place for him.

My OH has Sky Sports News on as background noise all the time 
anywayyy, the big story tonight is about Messi sending a message to Barcelona about leaving via fax...fax?! Who uses fax anymore? Is this a secret undercover way of communicating these days?! This has blown my mind this evening...I last used fax in the workplace circa 2008 and was never posh enough to have one at home...fax?!

I absolutely hate Tom Jones. He was a complete bastard to his poor wife.
I used the word ‘jepic’ today when talking about their twitter feud with Jim CorrI thought 2020 couldn’t get any stranger, then last I found myself agreeing with Jedward

I caught an old 8 out of 10 cats repeated the other day and they were talking about him as it was around the time a couple of elections ago that he was encouraging people not to vote. Sean Lock completely went in on him and basically called him a prick. It was obvious that he didn’t like him and had no problem with people knowing.

The c9nsumers of these books should have a word with themselves too, though. Spending your hard earned dosh on the likes of Willoughby‘s advice? Laura Brand’s Or Lorraine Kelly’s which was a notch pporch of advice including how to make onion soup, or some such nonsense.
you might as well buy Marie Antionette's “Sheep are fun and easy” as buy from these ignorant greedy egomaniacs.
Or send a friend request to one of the staff who actually look after their kids and get cocaine stains out of designer outfits that aren’t washable.
Or indeed google it.

If I could like this and the replies to this a million times over I would. Anything for some relevance, particularly with Cheryl. If they have even one shred of decency still within them, they will stay well out of it and shut up unless Sarah clearly says they can speak for or about her and right now that's the last thing she should need to think about.
ETA: Kimberley's posted a comment that's all about how heartbroken she is although she goes on to say Sarah's strong but sorry in that moment, your own pain doesn't and shouldn't even come into.. At all. Particularly given your history with Sarah.

Years ago, an editor of a childcare magazine, employed a colleagues daughter as a nanny. The editor had no idea of what size clothing her daughter was in, or day to day stuff about the nipper.
My mum did a fa our for a neighbour who was a nanny to a posh couple from Islington. They were out every night and used a mosaic of people to make up their childcare. The primary carer was a school leader who was cheap, ut also in experienced, A huge house in the best part of Islington they could afford, but not someone who knew one end of a baby from the other. Or would complain about having to take the baby home for her “holidays”.
The mother wrote BOOKS ON CHILDCARE.
My mum looked after the kids one night, as one of their baby sitters couldn’t do it, and discovered the younger boy was feeding from a bottle that was for a much smaller baby!
It gets worse, due to their swinging lifestyle and visitors trying to seduce the young nanny, and the long hours she left. My mum who knew their G.P. was told the children were considered for being put on a register, as they wernt thriving, and never had the same person bring them to the surgery.
Lavender Marriages.
I was told by someone who has great sources that William Hague has one of those arrangements.
ill give a couple of examples to illustrate I’m not just a bitter old fucker.

Met Phil a good few times at work and he’s always really nice to be around. Chats away, remembers details about family etc...
Lee is a complete arsehole to work with. Talks down to you and acts like a comedy god like genius. He’s not funny in the slightest.
Many years ago Ricky Gervais demanded I make him tea which is totally not my remit! Stephen Merchant gave him a bit of stick for it and told him he was being incredibly rude. I don’t think he realised it was a bit sexist and very ‘David Brent’ until he was pulled up on it.

Roxanne Pallett shares how she overcame breakdowns after punch-gate
The former Emmerdale actress, 37, has revealed she was diagnosed with PTSD, prescribed strong sedatives and underwent therapy during her battle with suicidal thoughts.
Why hasn’t this deranged cow been locked up yet? Furthermore how has she managed to get someone to marry her?
