Men don’t understand that M&S changing rooms used to be a social space. Mums and daughters or groups of friends would go in together. People would come out of cubicles part-clothed to ask the assistant for another size. Women would ask others if a piece of clothing suited them.

Yes, it's very notable in Homer how great men drive all the action, with no interference from other, much more powerful forces, often associated with natural phenomena and frequently female.

Is there a special word to describe the slight feeling of sadness of having to leave Act One of a story - where the setting is so perfectly set up, the world feels real and alive and you could escape right into it, but then the plot has to move forward and the protagonists need an Inciting Incident and Point of No Return, and you're sad that you can't go back to that original place. The Grand Budapest Hotel is another one which really does it for me. I just enjoy living in the set-up.

when keir starmer gives a speech now you can actually see the moments when he remembers that snl uk exists. the frightened look in his eyes. what bad timing for the fella, for the show to air during the tenure of the first pm in a generation who would actually be rattled by it
