A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙* *

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Maybe TV shows are too slow moving these days when politics us and UK is moving faster than an eastenders story line !

@FatEndoftheWedge is season three hard work?

Emily in Paris has some really good characters I think. They are all very strong and cleverly drawn. I don't understand hate watches full stop, but I do wonder if some of them just can't admit that they like it.

There were definitely some bits of the storyline that I would do away with earlier than they did - for example, Camille - and there were bits that I would edit differently.

But they do capture a lot of the zeitgeist. And simple things like when Emily dropped her crêpe and it became "#ohcrêpe" 😂 just the normal stuff that's so funny when you're out with your friends

I used to know someone who actually had a WhatsApp group for Emily in Paris. I was so jealous of him! Unfortunately, he has moved back to his home area - he lived in my neck of the woods briefly for work. I would love to have a group like that! He showed me some of their conversations and they're hilarious. I never meet people who can go on endlessly about TV!

Just watched Rivals, so many 🍑 male bums. Wonder if they used stand ins. My DS modelled his for a sculpture. It's been all over the national press. Apparently people pat it. 🤣

OH it's grim. Basically you're put in plaster so a body cast if you like. You get very hot and dehydrated. You have to be in one pose for a long while. OH and you're completely naked.

It's his third time
The first was a death mask, he had to breathe through straws. The second was his face on a Greek god. That was in the media too.

I couldn't do it I'd have a panic attack.

@justasking111 that sounds horrible, especially with the breathing through straws

But what you're telling us is that your DS Has the face and bum of a Greek God?

I'm guessing you must be a supermodel

wow, you can learn a lot here on a Saturday night when not distracted by politics!

No not a supermodel. He was just blessed with extraordinary good looks and a great body which he does look after. I tell him it's the Irish blood. There's a lot of good looking men in my family. ☘️
