I’m the same age as Villanelle - AIBU to feel inadequate in comparison? **Spoiler warning added by MNHQ**

[DaveCoaches]

She has a lot of skills for someone her age. Impressive career. Speaks several languages. Also she has an amazing wardrobe and does lots of international travel because of her work. I’m saving for a house deposit so haven’t been on holiday for 2 years.

AIBU to feel jealous/inadequate? I feel underachieving in comparison.

yiskasha

um. yes. did you think we didn't know?!

I (as a straight woman) have a massive crush on her

Jodie Cromers ability to make all the accents sound genuine...wow!

I'm on episode 2 and so far she has only killed 1 person per ep. She's slacking a bit.

yiskasha: "It's a fictional character"

Darn it, is she? I feel so foolish.

What if MI 5 and 6 are using knowing this as a basis for their shortlist when recruiting off MN? All our dreams to become a spy are doomed, DOOMED I tell you!!!

I am truly gobsmacked at some of the responses on this thread.

Did the rain wash away some posters sense of humour and ability to recognise irony?

I bloody love Villanelle. You’d want to go drinking with her but worry she’d cut your throat.

I love the "spoiler warning added" amendment.

Spoiler: she kills people.

Spoiler: she's not real.

It's a fictional character.

Shit, I feel so stupid!

I adore her! Both me and dh are a little bit in love with her I think. Our favourite debate is who would win in an assassins stand off - Vilanelle or Alice from Luther

@Chesntoots agreed. I certainly wouldn't like to live next door to Alice

Who the fuck is Alice, Awks?

Even that's fictional ...

@awks well that’s just nimby-ism at its finest. Someone has to live next door to her.

I feel I need to start a new thread asking, if Villanelle was real, AIBU to feel inadequate in comparison to her.

I'm also a straight woman with a crush on Villanelle. I think there are many of us!

SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT

I assumed that the specific accessory used by Villanelle to stage the crime scene of the murder at the end of episode 2 was a specific reference to a long-running and vituperative Mumsnet debate. She or the screen writers is here among us.

Actually that wasn't a spoiler at all.

Wait I haven't seen this (but it sounds good) what is the accessory, a certain beaker? A penguin bollard? Pom bears?

You might find it in the bathroom, @Teacakeandalatte, but it's presence is controversial.

ITS, not it's. Duh.

Ahh I think I know, I must watch it now! Is it on catchup?

Really PhossyJaw? I do not recall that!!! Been ages since I saw episode 2 - stupid RTE having shown the whole series already. Should have made us wait like BBC, then I'd remember.

(It is the BBC isn't it?!)

I was cross RTE showed it earlier, @RedForShort.

Yes, we don’t see it when V actually commits the murder, but when Eve and Carolyn visit the crime scene immediately afterwards, the Controversial Implement is prominent.

@Teacakeandalatte, it’s all on iPlayer.

Ha, first time I recall it being worth having RTÉ.

Gutted I’ve seen it all now. When’s the third series?

Excellent I shall binge the lot when dh is at work. Shall be on the look out for the controversial implement of questionable hygiene.

Phossy I think this was before my time. I’ve seen it referenced but have never understood - are MNers for or against the aforementioned implement?

Now @LaurieMarlow, you know RTE is full of glories. Does it still have that demented programme where Daniel O'Donnell and his wife go around trying out increasingly bizarre rural BnBs?

@DaveCoaches, claiming to own one comes up again and again on those 'unpopular opinion' Mn threads, so who knows? I believe the default position used to be strongly anti-.
