Deborah Orr

[HollowTalk]

Anyone else rooting for her on Twitter? I hadn't heard that she and Will Self were divorcing - apparently he's giving her a tough time. I reckon there's at least one MNetter on there (mention of cockwomble ) - anyone else?

I haven’t commented but I did feel for her when she said she has to put up with his red dots. Grr

Yes, that was the thread I was referring to! Awful. He wanted to come in, put the dots wherever he wanted and then expected her to arrange transportation! Cheeky bastard.

I wanted to tell her to come on MN and post anonymously rather than saying it all in public, but it must be so irritating and frustrating for her that he has all this admiration when she knows what he can be like.

Does he have admiration though? I think most people think of him as a complete up himself prick.

I think she's amazing, her writing is spot on. All the best if your reading this Deborah, we're right behind you

Will Self - never has any one been more aptly named.

I suppose I'm thinking of his admiration for himself

And yes, I agree that Deborah's writing is great - and readable!

Red dots! OMFG what a dick.

He annoyed Jane Garvey (and me) on the Fortunately podcast by being one of those who will give it but can’t take it. At all.
