Best post juxtaposition ever?

Thanks

I've never been on this board before, it's alright isn't it? Though I'm a bit embarrassed to find that the rest of the world knew about the whole assault/ racism double cover-up that led to their marriage.

I just thought they were another pair of rich young airheads who fancied each other and thought that was enough to build a lifelong relationship on.

But the more I think of it, the more I think that almost all high profile marriages must in fact be based (on some level) on mutual benefit rather then 'true love'. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, but it's a bit crap if they tell the mags how happy and perfect their relationship is when in fact they can't stand each other. Rubbish message to give to kids too.

Totally agree with Morris. I see this with fuckwit male friends all the time. I love the dears, but would never date them. They think they're George Clooney (more George from Seinfeld) and wonder why stupid pretty girls don't go for them. They then completely ignore, lovely and intelligent girls who actually have two braincells to rub together.

He he he the quote at the end of the article:
"In last week?s Hello! she was still defending her decision to stick with the marriage. ?If it?s worth fighting for, then fight,? she said. ?And in the case of me and my husband, it?s worth *it8. We love each other. Of course, sometimes when things aren?t going very well, you?ve got to work on your relationship. Sometimes one of you makes a mistake, sometimes the other.?

Brilliant! Promoting single AND L'Oreal in one paragraph

She should make sure she takes the true feminist/Billy Piper type decision and not take a penny from him nor he from her.

Yes, the Evans/ Piper divorce was a model to all, but he took it too far when he gushingly informed the press of her baby's name.

Time and a place for being pally with your ex, Chrissy boy.

I think she should fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for the house.

Billie didn't change her name either, or have a tat AFAIK - even though that did actually seem to be a genuine marriage. Good for her. But it's too late for Cheryl to be like Billie!

Doesn't anyone else think it's probably all stage managed and their contract has come up for renewal Beard [cough] They desperately needed each other at the time- all sorts of allegations about Cole and Chrel Kerl was a racist, loo-bashing thug...a marriage made in career-fix heaven.

Pretendy affairs a plenty, the divorce, wipe off the old temporary tattoo from the neck....next!

Just me ?

get check out for any STD;s!

If it was a sham with an "exit strategy" planned, surely only ONE blonde bimbo is required for plausible dumpability? Isn't four (or five) over-egging it a bit from Max Clifford, or whoever is in charge?

Also:
Did anyone hear Chris Evans crack the "who gets custody of the ego" joke TWICE this morning on R2? I may be misremembering but I'm sure someone made a similar joke about him at the time of his divorce from Billie.

UQD I asked you a few questions further up ^^

the Mash does it again

I especially like:

"Meanwhile thousands of Guardian readers are today expected to make a rare visit to the websites of the Sun and the Daily Mirror in a bid to discover what the Cole split says about society."

MorrisZapp - I know, I saw. I'm not quite sure what you want me to say. After all, there are people out there who are both pretty and bright. And they will launch themselves shamelessly at brainless sportsmen too. My point was more about enjoying the "takedown" of the obnoxious twat Ashley.

Agree that Chez should just walk away. She has enough funds. What would be the use in fighting tooth and nail for the vile Surrey mansion and then having to sell it for divorce lawyer fees.

Nice though that in DM Ashley's 'love' has turned to 'anger' (what, in 24 hours?) and 'she will not get a penny'.

Chez walk away with head held high. And stay away from short twats in future.

Gosh, what a nice chap he is

I suppose any man seriously tempted by Chezza should read that Mail article, if only to be reminded that

this is what she'll look like in 20 years

UQD I think I caught you in an expression of hypocrisy that's all. You didn't mention wanting to date bright girls when you were at school, you just mentioned the pretty ones and how you couldn't get them as you were a non-sporty 'nerd' type.

It's not just you, I hear this complaint from men all the time 'It's not fair, why do women only want to date rich or high status men, it's so shallow' when in fact what they really mean is 'it's not fair, why do incredibly attractive women only want to date...' etc.

Quite a few posters agreed with me

I hate AC as much as any decent person does, and I'm delighted to see him taken down too. But I don't see it as a revenge of the nerds.

MorrisZapp - are you a lawyer? if you look, you will see that I avoided couching my post in quite those specific terms in which you reword it above.

Anyway, I've just been called the "voice of common sense" over on the porn thread. I'm obviously not trying hard enough to be controversial.

You said pretty and you said nerd.

You couldn't get a pretty girl because you were a nerd.

Nowt lawyerly about it. I know you didn't say that stuff that I put quotes on, it's a paraphrase of the same complaint I've heard from men all my life.

Usually men of average looks who want to date women of well above average looks, and feel that the women shouldn't judge them on shallow grounds while they merrily do exactly that themselves.

I suppose I hadn't ever consciously thought that was the subtext. But I do feel men are often enough berated for admiring attractive women in a "shallow" way, whereas women seeking out men of wealth and status to date is seen as more socially acceptable (old sexist ideas, even from women, that the man should be the "provider"?)...

I see it both ways - it's the oldest trade off in the world isn't it, and both sides do it equally.

I would argue though that it is always socially acceptable for men to 'date pretty' unless in some bizarre Ronnie Wood way, while women who are even five years older then their men will raise eyebrows.

dont drag the detritus of your life around media - you life is a circus because you allowed it be to photographed and scrutinised.
