Miriam Morgolyes on Graham Norton

[PuppyMonkey]

Anecdote about wanking off three men in a random wood in Edinburgh or something. Everyone laughed hysterically.

Is it just me or have TV chat shows gone really downhill?

But have we had any ADHD yet? Or autism?

We've had dementia!

I’m an older woman myself. Not as old as MM, but still. I have, like her, the vocabulary of a highly educated sailor. I can be pretty vulgar myself. I can handle it. She’s just OTT with it and seems to think she’s a one-off when she’s just boring now.

Absolutely. I saw something she said about Gaza a while back - beautifully done with empathy and articulately constructed. She can speak like that, and she’d be more interesting if she did.

Nope, older woman here and I really dislike Margolyes. I'm not a fan of unpleasant, foul mouthed women

I think there must be a bit of envy going on here - if I don't like someone I don't feel the need to go online and tell everyone about it, I just switch channels.

Is there really such a thing as MN Bingo?

Mumsnet bingo: We must all be jealous of her 🙄

BINGO! it must be envy!

Personally I'd love to know Miriam Margolyes - I'd be a bit scared of her, but I think she'd be a total hoot.

I met her a couple of times and when she's not "on", she's quite cold and brusque. She wasn't rude to me (although she was to a PP) but she definitely wasn't fun to talk to.

That isn't really engaging with my point.

I can imagine that actually.

There are certain women in the public eye who always seem to crop up on negative threads here - it's hardly ever men.

It's a chat board. People are chatting. They click on a thread because it sounds like it might be vaguely interesting and then if it is, they might post their two pence worth.

It's just bizarre to imagine that because this particular thread was about someone on the Graham Norton show, many of the people putting in their two-pence worth must be jealous of that person.

Actually it's quite interesting thinking about it, it sounds like internalized misogyny. Women can't possibly comment on the behavior of another woman or cultural developments or mores, without it being an expression of jealousy.

We can all psycho analyse other internet sprites.

That is usually the reason behind these kinds of threads, yes

Happy people don't spend their Saturdays slagging off celebrities on MN

Isn’t luring guests into saying stuff they might not otherwise reveal the job of an interviewer?

I’m not envious of her. HTH.

I said there is some envy going on here - I didn't say this applies to you.

Is this because they’ve always been shite?

Can you let us know what we might be envious of as I’d love to know, the curiosity is killing me.

I am so curious why we would be envious.

Of her great beauty?
Her toilet humour?
Her youth?
Her fantastic figure?
Her boyfriend, Jason Momoa?

🤣

I have no idea what people are envious of - I just can't think of any other reason for the disproportionate amount of negativity towards female celebrities on MN.

Um.. I do.

She’s put herself in the public eye. She didn’t have to be an actress. Or, she could have been an actress but chosen not to be so ridiculous for attention.

Either way, put yourself in the public eye, people will talk.

Chatting shit on a forum about someone I actually don’t give much thought to does not show my level of happiness. I can say I think she’s a dick and them move on with my day.

Would I only be happy if I said good things about celebrities?
