Exactly. Grin

Can you get blocks of tickets?

I started off feeling a tiny bit sorry for her. but then I realised I was being conned by the "little 'ol me" act and decided that her arrogance is what makes people (oops that means women in her book) keep her at arms' length.

yes she is quite pretty. but also a wet whingey whiner who thinks that all men must fall in love with her because she's just so adorable.

DD2, aged 12, was watching with me and asked if I found that men were falling over themselves to send me champagne/buy my train tickets. I honestly had to admit that no, that has never happened, and she said "well it should have done because you are much prettier and nicer than that lady" :)

I think there is a special MN alarm at JK's booking office.

Just watching now. She' an idiot. The psychologist was great. She based the premise of her whole article on one (assumed) experience of blamking.

She is rather pretty, IMO.

blanking

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 13:51

I don't believe all her stories

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 13:52

I have newfound respect for Ruth, as well

CowboysGal · 05/04/2012 13:55

Have only skimmed through this thread while baby is having his nap but her article (from what I can gather, haven't actually read it) reminds me of a thread on here not that long ago. It was along the lines of 'AIBU to think other women hate me because of my good looks' Find myself wondering if that was Ms Brick and am now desperate for bedtime so I can trawl threads to find it I remember having an actual life once

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 13:57

Bohica - you're right! I remember now. Will have a look

mamhaf · 05/04/2012 14:14

Just watching this on catch-up. What a vacuous piece of work! The psychologist is great though. Samantha's lack of emotional intelligence is staggering. People clearly hate her because of that, nothing to do with her prettiness ... She's no stunner.

I live in Australia, and they were talking about her on the radio. They were taking the piss out of her 2, saying how deluded and arrogant she was.
Just goes 2 show how much publicity this stupid woman has got. It'll be yesterday's news soon.
She really isn't getting it at all. Can't believe she's 42??? She's 6yrs older than me, but looks more 16yrs older than me. I have had things bought 4 me. A taxi driver once didn't charge me. A passenger bought me a DKNY watch, and have had countless men buy me drinks without me asking. Do you see me in the Daily Snail???? NO, cos I'm not arrogant, and have more self respect.

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 14:17

I'm just watching this (thank god for my own office) and I think she is mad. I honestly believe she is slightly unhinged.

Longdistance · 05/04/2012 14:17

Oh, and no ones asked me 2 be a bridesmaid either. Meh, who wants 2 the brides slave helper anyway?!

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 14:37

Where does she live?

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 14:38

I'm not sure, I don't think she mentioned rural France umpteen times it. Grin

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 14:42

I imagine the poor sod's in a bar at Waterloo getting pissed drinking Ribena.

Hownoobrooncoo · 05/04/2012 14:45

she said she was 41 but I thought she looked older. She did look better on telly than in the DM pics.

SamanthaBrickolage · 05/04/2012 14:45

I wish the Psychologist had delved a bit more regarding self esteem .
Someone who has to base all their interactions /responses from others on the fact of whether are prettier is quite sad realy.

PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 14:47

She was very steely with the psychologist (who was also very attractive). I'd have liked to see the two of them left on their own for a bit!

SamanthaBrickolage · 05/04/2012 14:55

Very steely ! and ignored the points she made.

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 14:56

Maybe she just wanted to blurt out, 'It's not true! None of this happened to me! I don't even believe this shit!' But needs the DM's dollar.

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 14:58

She looked a bit shifty when Eamonn was reading out the made up bits of the article where she describes all the gifts and favours she's received

SamanthaBrickolage · 05/04/2012 15:01

She did look uncomfortable Linerunner and backtracked a fair bit !

LineRunner · 05/04/2012 15:01

She did, didn't she? She looked almost embarrassed.

I wish they'd probed more about how the article came to be written (and how much it was edited).

gafhyb · 05/04/2012 15:03

Did you see Bohica's theory above?

I'm pretty sure a thread like this was on here a while back. Posiibly DM (or her) doing some research, found out it provoked a huge shitstorm, so went ahead with the entirely publicity-seeking article.

Trouble is, I can't find the thread.
