Sophie Ellis Bextor's husband

[HelloDenise]

What do you think about him?

🤣

It’s actually quite horrible when it happens to you because no one else can see it. People can use it to make it clear that they are laughing at you. Because it’s private it feelsnincredibly personal and creepy. It’s amazing how close the virtual world is to the real one. I wouldn’t have imagined that you could be made to feel upset by something like that.

I have never reported anyone who did this to me by the way - I didn’t think to do so, but I am glad the emoji is gone.

Ah cool thanks.. I know it makes little difference but it's interesting to know, also the Baby Names forums is a bit of a pick n'mix of comments, it's like don't ask questions you don't want the answers to on a public forum

I understand in a way what you mean, like if you're already upset & someone laughs (😆) it might feel incredibly personal but it could be as a way of expressing a lighter opinion, not as an attack, I also believe in free emojis & I don't tend to take shit personally, maybe once or twice but in general it seems wasteful

Also sometimes people are nasty cunts so who gets to decide? Apparently the emoji police

You can tell when they are laughing at you rather than with you. It really is horrible.

Busy working on the next philosophical debate.

“What do you think of Denise Welch’s cleaner?” (Apologies to anyone who may actually be Denise Welch’s cleaner).

And the point of this thread is……?

Och, I'm glad bassists are considered normal nowadays. I, myself, had bassist friends back in the 80s and 90s. It wasn't an easy time for them then, I'm glad attitudes are changing.☺️

I'm not in contact with any of them now though. But yeah, they were lovely.

Anyway, I don't want to come across as bassist-ist on this thread. One of my friends actually knew a double-bassist.😲

She was a lovely friend☺️

It was a long time ago. We're not in contact now.

Our kids were really little when the album ‘twelve stops and home’ was released and it’s one of the soundtracks to their primary school years. They still love it.

Nothing.

Next!

I too saw Sophie in theaudience at a festival, only went to the second stage because of remembering her mum in Blue Peter, and thought the band were a bit too earnest. Never expected the career that has followed.

The Feeling I saw as a support act and thought much better live than on record.

If it is...
She's the winner!

I think they're brilliant live, far more rock than pop.

But I have no views on RJ, unless it turns out he pulled off the legs of spiders as a kid or something along those lines.

Weirdly, I saw him dumping a litter of kittens behind Co-op a couple of days back.

At least he threw a dirty stained mattress down first so the kittens had somewhere to sleep

Cheeky

He stole it from a homeless person.

My brain hurts trying to figure out the point of this thread

And the point of this thread is……?
To distract us all from putting out the bins.
OK that might just be me.

What do I think about him? I think he must have the patience of a saint to have to contend with Sophie’s wailing in the kitchen. Also, very fertile.

I feel a disappearing act going on ....

I think he’s punching above his weight and that also that he probably wanted a daughter.

I don't have any emojis... I left for several years and in the meantime everything changed. I didn't know that there ever had been emojis except my phone's own 🫤🤕🤣😎🫣😝😁🤔🏯☀️🪻

Do I get emojis after a certain time, or are they for people who pay?

I only know Sophie Ellis Baxter from Radio 2, I don't know anything about her beyond her kitchen disco radio programme, I didn't know she did a TV version in lockdown or that her husband was on it (why was he? because he happened to be in her kitchen?) or even that she had a husband...

Was this thread actually designed to raise interest and awareness in and of this husband? I guess it worked as some of us have learnt trivia about him - I'm not sure who that's useful to though...

What do you think of my nextdoor neighbours? Why do they have exactly the same conversation in the guardian every evening?

That was Janet Ellis’s other child. She was married - just to someone other than SEB’s father!
