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

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.

are MNers for or against the aforementioned implement

😂😂😂

MsTSwift · 11/06/2019 18:08

As someone overburdened by a conscience I am in awe that she doesn’t have one. Would be so freeing

MsTSwift · 11/06/2019 18:11

Eg my 10 year old having issues with a bitchy little madam at school. Can you imagine what v would do?! Take out the entire family probably.

Daniel O'Donnell and his wife go around trying out increasingly bizarre rural BnBs

I so want to watch this!

TSwift it would certainly solve one problem, at least. Might create a few more though...

So do I! Why bizarre? Like League of Gentlemen bizarre?

Nikita I found a clip:

Here they dress up as beekeepers and later are serenaded by a male voice choir whilst in a hot tub.

Is Villanelle the pretty one in Killing Eve?

If it's the one im thinking of then im deffo jealous.
Pretty face, figure to die for and not scared of anyone.

Barnabyboy · 11/06/2019 19:15

I love her. I’m currently watching every episode again. I’ve tried to buy the Blu-ray and can’t find it anywhere. Only normal DVD. So frustrating.

RosaWaiting · 11/06/2019 19:15

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Villanelle killed someone using a PomBear Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 11/06/2019 20:09

I thought the implement being referred to was added by the other person who fled the crime scene, not villanelle

PhossyJaw · 11/06/2019 20:28

Could be @ErrolTheDragon. But the writers are still signalling their awareness of a key Mn debate. Grin

And even the less obviously weird BnBs (ones where the owners have only lined up their kids in costume to serenade Daniel and Majella with Big Tom hits in the hallway, or something equally everyday) are rendered surreal by the mere presence of D and M larking about in the en-suite while cleaning their teeth.

RedForShort · 11/06/2019 20:43

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?

Latest in Daniel and Majella programme was them heading around USA in one of those giant live in camper things (an RV?) It was full on mental. Small American towns with American born and bred (of Irish decent) men and women turming up in droves to sing along and crying while Daniel stands on a stool singing some saccharine tune was a thing to behold.

Patroclus · 12/06/2019 14:13

This poor lad at my school had a horrendous time because everybody knew he loved Daniel O' Donnell. Fair play, he stuck to it.

donajimena · 12/06/2019 15:25

Well this thread certainly changed direction Grin

RosaWaiting · 12/06/2019 15:30

to get back to Villanelle

I knew she was going to do the neck thing. I'm curious how it works.

but more importantly, it showed compassion. Am I forgetting things or is that the first note of compassion we have seen in her?

DeptfordDervish · 12/06/2019 15:39

What about a series where Wee Daniel and Villanelle visit Irish BnBs? If you don't show sufficient originality didgeridoo wake-up calls, being serenaded in a hot-tub by a male voice choir, breakfast served on a lake island by robot butlers Villanelle kills you in some inventive and flamboyant way, as Daniel sings 'Pretty Little Girl from Omagh' in a disappointed way.

DaveCoaches · 12/06/2019 16:03

Deptford Grin Grin I’d watch that.

Has anyone seen those chiropractor videos on YouTube? They often crack their necks and it looks broadly similar to snapping their neck. It freaks me out.

I am jealous of villanelle.
I’m also always on her side even thought she’s a psychopath? Which feels wrong but I believe is the desired effect. Her clothes are awesome and she’s funny and she’s rich and she’s clever.
My clothes are shit, I’m not funny or rich or clever and my life is beyond boring. Oh and I’m old.
So yes. Definitely jealous of a fictitious character!

Letthenamesbegin · 12/06/2019 16:25

@RosaWaiting I know but will have to kill you Grin

RosaWaiting · 12/06/2019 19:14

Let

well yes. Villanelle would do that, a dummy run to explain it to me, then do it, so the last thing I would hear would be the explanation I wanted to hear! Grin

BellMcEnd · 12/06/2019 19:35

There’s definitely a MN theme in KE. Eve brandished the same controversial bathroom implement at Villanelle when she popped in for shepherds pie in S1.

RosaWaiting · 13/06/2019 09:23

but in S2, Villanelle is not responsible for the bathroom implement is she?

that was the man's mother.

Vilanelle · 13/06/2019 10:10

@RosaWaiting OMG I didn't even get on to the fact that it was the elderly mother that used the bog brush.

Just another example of how inadequate I am in comparison to V

AtillatheHun · 13/06/2019 10:17

I believe that MI5 are more flexible on the height thing - the spy writer Charles Cumming was recruited for them (& wrote a novel about it). He is something ludicrous like 6ft 5.

I suspect that Villanelle has to do a LOT of training courses - knifework, gun cleaning, situation cleaning, martial arts, stage makeup etc. Her CPD situation must be ridiculous.
