I am quite fascinated by private life of Alan Bates. I had no idea until recently, that he kept his sexuality under wraps and had a long standing relationship with the ice skater John Curry.

Lucky you !Haha Pure luck id say. My ex hub was 5 yrs older. My current bf (..) is 10 yrs younger.
reminds me of a dimbo bimbo I used to work with.
She was rabbiting on about clothes and someone told her she was a real fashion victim.
She simpered "fank you, I do try.."
Btw when i say current it sounds like theres a long stream… there isnt
haha. Hasnt been. We've been together 4 yrs.
I see Cara Delevigne is celebrating her birthday. Shocked that she's only 30 though - I thought she was about 5 years older than that - must be her full-on habit jetsetting lifestyle
Cara Delevigne is such a twit. Talk about entitled and stupid. I have seen her about town on numerous occasions and she is either drunk/high or generally just liking the sound of her own voice too much. The ultimate show off. How the duck she was ever given acting roles is beyond me. She is awful. AWFUL.
Twitter social justice warriors must tie themselves in knots trying to come up with these random comparisons
Ash Sarky is an absolute twit. That's actually embarrassing
and she's so self-righteous. What a tit 
This is a much better take.
Really hope he pulls through, it’s just shocking.

It’s like there’s a secret competition for who can be the most self-righteously indignant on behalf of the latest fashionable self-proclaimed ‘persecution’ of a non-minority, non-victimised ‘cause’
It has really shocked and upset me. He's 75. I hope he is going to be OK. I hope they have locked the animal up that did that to him.
Ian is a fine chap from all I've ever heard from those that have met him from booksellers to charities he's done events for.
Yeah, he’s a good guy, I’m glad you’ve heard that x
Ian Rankin is a lovely man, so kind and patient at events and signings, always happy to answer questions about his characters and writing processes he's probably had million times before.
Neil Gaiman was the same when I met him in the early 2000s, he had a nice thing to say to everyone, and drew a little picture in every book he was given. Also lovely and staggeringly patient was the late, great Terry Pratchett, even though he was clearly knackered from a UK wide tour and the bookshop has seriously underprepared for the arrival of 500 fans of his books.
Most authors are really sweet at signing events, the new, unknown ones are super pleased people have come to meet them, and the more established ones delight in the way their creations are so well loved.

she’s one of five (i think) children and lost three siblings at young ages. on top of the many awful things that happened to her.
rip anne; i hope she’s finally found the peace she apparently craved so much
Yes I have heard that about Gaiman. He remembered my friend many years later at the Edinburgh Book Festival and although busy stopped to speak when his PA told him to hurry up.
Re Stephen Fry. On holidays recently I started to read a novel he wrote, i picked it up in a charity shop, in the first few pages the main character, a writer, said, if more women liked sex there would be less rapists.
I wad shocked at this and threw the book in the bin.

Stephen fry is odious.
A lot of famous/blue-ticked people seem to follow Stephen Fry on Twitter. People seem to think he's so intelligent, but he just comes across as really smug and arrogant, to me. His behaviour on Twitter, plus various interviews he's given, lead me to think he's not all that.
He comes across as one of those 'I went to Cambridge and therefore I am superior to all you scum'. Didn't he used to get some of his QI info through his earpiece to sound like he knew it all?
