You can watch here

She has to talk till midnight, so that is 13hours. Without a break, without sitting down.

(I reckon Donna would've been Ms, though. Wink)

I love both this thread, and the swift inevitable lead in to WW trivia. Grin

I love it:

She will take the question, but 'she will not yield'.

Ah, amazing. Very West wing...

HazeltheMcWitch · 25/06/2013 21:22

Wow. I did not know this was today - thanks for sharing MmeL.

Kudos to Wendy - may her stamina and courage see her through to (he) midnight.

Truly impressive. No toilet breaks/ no leaning on podium/ no food...
A heroic act and an inspiration.

Go Wendy!
