to think Camila Batmanghelidjh is fucking awesome?

[bejeezus]

I saw her talk on a news programme last night...

shes so composed and articulate, and clear-sighted and insightful and compassionate and calm and stylish and unique...

and the work she does/ what she acheives is OUTSTANDING..



heres a link to her wiki page...but it doesnt do her any justice

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camila_Batmanghelidjh

[Serendipity30]

Camilla is that you?

[WorraLiberty]

Never heard of her but she sounds like a caped crusader

[keithlemonsbackdoors]

She is my hero! Seriously, the woman should be made a saint, I have no idea how she finds the energy or the patience for what she does. Truly inspirational.

[chrisdriver]

She always makes me feel completely inadequate. Awesome work.

[WorraLiberty]

Re the 'stylish' comment.

Because I thought perhaps the photo in the link didn't do her justice, I ran her name through Google Images.

I can't find a stylish photo amongst them!

She does sound like an amazing woman though and since looking at Google, I do recognise her now.

[everybodysang]

yes, I bloody love her. I would vote for her to be president of the world.

[bejeezus]

Ok, heres a link to HardTalk which she was on last night.

we all need to know who she is!

[bejeezus]

president of the universe!!!

was she sent from Paradise Island...is she a modern day Wonder Woman?????

[LemonTurd]

I think she's amazing :)

From a priviledged background, she has dedicated her life to helping others. Such an inspiration.

[mumeuro]

absolutely not, Camila is FANTASTIC, a truly remarkable woman.

[weblette]

Brilliant brilliant woman. President of the universe agreed!

[MegBusset]

Great woman, and surely the person with the best name to appear frequently on the news, alongside fire brigade spokesman Turan Turan :)

[UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea]

Fantastic woman, I had the privilege of meeting her once and it was unforgettable.

[bejeezus]

did you shaggin?????

ooooo...tell us more

in what capacity?

[BadDayAyTheOrifice]

She speaks a lot of sense that woman. I think she's fab.

[bejeezus]

my work/job feels meaningless today!!

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I love her too, she's inspirational.
I can never pronounce her name though.

[bejeezus]

no neither can I lady
No one can pronounce my name either. It is mildly irritating, so i need to know how to pronounce Camila Batmanthingy properly

[Quenelle]

I too think she's awesome. I've never had cause to say her name out loud but in my head I say 'Camilla Batmangaily'.

That's not right is it?

[bejeezus]

In my head, I say

Batmanheldig

[MegBusset]

The Beeb say Batman-jelly

[Hullygully]

she is TOTES AMAZEBALLS

I want to be her when I grow up

[WowOoo]

I agree - she's a wonderful woman.

I cannot ever remember how to say her name properly, so I say 'Camilla Batty dresses.'

[QuickLookBusy]

She is awesome, she has just bben on Woman's Hour. I love her and everything she tries to do.

I don't understand why she isn't ruling the world.

[bassingtonffrench]

i heard her on desert island discs I think. She's quite funny as well but IIRC she had difficult times growing up as her sister committed suicide? they were refugees from Iran.
