Don't watch this morning. It makes me stabby

revolutionconfirmed · 05/04/2012 11:26

What the hell is the hub? They said after the news they would be answering questions. I assume we can see this in the telly?

She'll spin it that Eamon fancied her and Ruth was threatened so was mean.

NurseJennyLee · 05/04/2012 11:26

Katona makes me want to finish mat. leave early and run back to work. Or I could turn the tv off.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 05/04/2012 11:26

I like the psychologist lady. Imagine that, she's an attractive woman and I like her anyway.

RubyLovesMayMay · 05/04/2012 11:27

Ruth is an attractive woman.
Sam is becoming more unattractive by the minute.
Oh and if I had a pound for every time my own mum has driven past me or dh or my dcs and been completely unaware that we are there, well I would be far richer.

cornflowers · 05/04/2012 11:28

Wow. Just wow. She handled that incredibly badly.

RubyLovesMayMay · 05/04/2012 11:28

ps - my Husband wouldnt look at her once let alone twice Grin

laptopdancer · 05/04/2012 11:29

I just showed my dh the origianl photos and article, he hadnt heard of all this.

His reponse

She looks like a bloke

Goolash · 05/04/2012 11:32

Are you all blind? Can you not see this is another ploy from the government to take out focus away from what's really going on? First the petrol strike fiasco, then this follows so quickly?

We'll all look up from our screens in a few days time to see the prime minister looks and acts ever so slightly different. We won't be able to put our fingers on it. Then the aliens invasion WILL come.

scottishmummy · 05/04/2012 11:35

ha you're right it's a big ole lizardy alien plot
thanks for acting me to this

SamanthaBrickolage · 05/04/2012 11:36

Samantha is the one making assumptions about other women and maybe this is why she assumes women judge her.(ie she only judges other women on their looks).
She looks quite nervous actually and Im wondering if what started as a silly DM article has turned round a bit her on the bum and she is now trying to make the best of it.
That photo of her and Mr Brickolage - the gun toting DH makes me chuckle every time I think about it !

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 05/04/2012 11:37

The trouble is, if someone walks into a room believing that all the women will hate them and all the men will be attracted to them, that comes across to everyone and gives a negative impression to them.

And if you are told that it is not the case and you sit there and insist "well it is in my experience" then you will get a negative reaction.

The psychologist is right, that is an attitude that Samantha needs to change if this is a big problem in her life. Because she is the one who is making it.

I wish they had asked her what she does if a man does seem to be immune to her charms.

eandemum · 05/04/2012 11:38

What does it say about me that I wasn't expecting a Northern accent?
I thought she came across better on tv than in print, was she hinting that the am may have edited it too much and she says it was tongue in cheek - no it wasn't!

belgo · 05/04/2012 11:39

LineRunner-
yes the DM has far too much influence on society, and the misuse of their power is blatantly immoral.

But I still think that if there wasn't the potential in society for this misogynistic rubbish, for the DM to feed and encourage, then the DM would have slipped away into obscurity.

I am disappointed to see so many comments in this thread about how this women looks. For me, that is missing the point. The point is her unattractive ego, which I suspect is hiding insecurity and a desperate need for approval. Oh and a desperate need for money (to pay for IVF in a private french clinic perhaps? She has spoken before about her difficulties getting pregnant).

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 11:40

So stuff has happened to her half a dozen times in her 41 years, from which she extrapolates that most women don't like her because of how she looks, but there are these shades of shades of grey, and the article which she wrote had to be kept short, but half of women contacting her say she has put into words how they feel, and she lives in France and only sees two cars go by a day if she is lucky, and she believes the perception that she is beautiful.

Not a piss take, then, just a confused woman wanting to be a journalist and being prepared to write any old shit that the Daily Mail will print, even when it cannot actually be true.

laptopdancer · 05/04/2012 11:41

I havent watched her speak so can judge only on the article and photos

Kladdkaka · 05/04/2012 11:42

No, no linerunner. She's extrapolating that most women don't like her because of her looks because a 72 year old French peasant woman didn't wave back at her when she was out walking her dog.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 11:45

I wish she's turn on the Daily Mail, but I guess she feels she doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds her.

She may change her tune when she sees that the DM couldn't give a shit about her, her needs, her problems or her life.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 05/04/2012 11:46

That was odd actually Linerunner. In her article she says receiving the champagne from the airline captain was "lovely but not a surprise" because this sort of thing is always happening to her.

Now it's just a handful of experiences over 41 years.

In the same way that she said she wears jeans to dinner parties and then says that her husband wouldn't allow her to wear jeans to a dinner party.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 11:48

Indeed.

This is not a coherent argument. This is a Daily Mail argument.

eandemum · 05/04/2012 11:50

according to her website she has 2 books coming out soon so maybe she is beautiful and clever!

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 11:52

Who in the fuck of fuck would to read a load of contradictory and alienating made-up twaddle in book form?

cerealqueen · 05/04/2012 12:02

A couple of time on This Morning, she looked a bit sad and contemplative when she heard the comments being made about her, and I almost felt sorry for her. Then'n she'd come out with some more women bashing twaddle.
