@PigeonFeatherz I think you were right about the length. Dresses and skirts that have the hem hit at mid calf makes most people look like they have the legs of a Corgi.
@portraitinflesh@FeministRoar@jk_rowling This is a point I’d never really thought about. Huh. I guess because in a way, there never seemed a dispute. He and his critics both claimed it but yes, who really knows.
@portraitinflesh I think Chicken and Egg as a dish in a Chinese restaurant menu inspired Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon, although tbh the rest of the lyrics feel like they moved on!
@DavidDPaxton@andrewsillett ‘Maybe not’ The second Lawrence has had enough of F1, he’s gone from the grid, just like Maldonado was when the oil money dried up.
@daveainsworth63 She was wonderful! My late mum’s favourite actress. Brilliant with Constance Chapman in Alan Bennett’s our Our Winnie and terrific in two eps of Midsummer Murders despite being bumped off in her first ep!
@portraitinflesh Yeah, it’s been the worst. No energy to do anything except listlessly wait for it to go, and I do have at least a portable air con so I can keep one room to about 24 degrees. I long for proper air con, is it really so much worse than heating the home in winter?
@portraitinflesh I think some of his other works also have more sense of an underlying shared humanity along with their flaws. AP just seems to be saying ‘haha, get a load of her, she thinks she’s really it but she’s too vulgar and common and too stupid to realise it.’ Or that’s how I recall it
@Holy_Molygr1 It happens. Mercedes engines in 2016 were pretty bulletproof…with the exception of one car, the car of their reigning world champion, which broke down constantly either in quali or the race.
@JulianDutton1 This is amazing way of looking at him, very insightful. I think of him as the perfected version of Noel Coward’s Mr Bridger from The Italian Job. Crazy how few episodes he is actually in, his impact on the show is enormous.
@portraitinflesh For me, it’s not tearful apologies I’m looking for, it’s firm commitments to honouring women’s rights. I get nervous when I hear evasive and hedging responses instead.
