Forget the poor A level results. It's the two-page demolition of your entire personality, ability, character, dress sense, and future prospects from a Brigadier at the Regular Commissions Board with instructions never to apply again that's the real kick in the nuts.
@bindelj This is just heartbreakingly sad. Men have no "needs". A woman's body is not a workplace. We must make sure her work and - fundamentally - sacrifice, lives on x
@davetrott I read a lot of scripts on TV/podcasts etc. I've never noticed before that one thing I do is re-write them all into that Gertrude Steiny/Dave Trott format. Because that shows me how I'll read it. And it shows readers how it will sound in their head.
@bindelj James O'Brien and his book are like me becoming the bestselling author of: "How To Be A Woman. With A Beautiful Head Of Hair And A Tinkling Soprano Voice".
