I also love her. So funny

So funny, and absolutely eviscerating.

Back of the queue OP. I’ve wanted to be her for AGES 🥰

Totally

Do your parents have a title and send you to boarding school? If not you're probably not qualified.

She is very good.

She's incredibly witty.

Elton John sued her a few years ago, after she did a pisstaking piece about him. It failed because the judge found that pisstaking didn't amount to libel, although I think he used a more judicial term than "pisstaking".

She has such a way with words. You would never want to be on the wrong end of one of her articles.

@SchrodingersBox I'm all for dismantling class privilege and shining a light on useless arses who are only where they are because of who their parents were (eg. Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell), but I think that dismissing someone who's really good at what they do simply because they grew up in a privileged environment is just as silly as writing someone off for growing up on a council estate.

The one with the shitty advice column?

@yellowsunset I think you might be thinking of Mariella Frostrup?

“Dimbulbery”

What a fabulous word.

^ That's the one.
