‘Courtiers’ 2

[RandomPenguinHouse]

The last thread filled up during a particularly chatty morning.

Unfortunately I don't really think it is a believable defence to specific allegations of bullying, that some other friend or colleague turns up and says "well she was always nice to me and sometimes she brought in cookies" or whatever.

We wouldn't do that at school if a child was being bullied.

The RF was a very specific environment for MM and caused some unique frustrations for her. From my experience, how people behave under pressure and whether they take their stress out on others can be quite informative, particularly if they can pick and choose who is of status to receive or avoid that bad behaviour. I've definitely seen this play out in the workplace with managers who initially come across as very charming.

@LondonWolf
Totally agree ! The accusations have now truly descended into incoherent chaos - I shan’t be feeding that beast!

when is the book out? And is sooner on kindle does anyone know ?

Oh I live under a rock, personally. I really admire her for it actually. 😊I would love to know what it is like to sit in a line with a gaggle of empowered girls on a sleepover all dressed in monogrammed P.Js .. or lined up along the side of the pool asking followers to tell us apart from our bottoms. I must have missed out in life. Do you know where I might nab an invite?

😂

God what happened? , I only went for a shower and put kids to bed!

@Croque actual lol 😆

Can you buy "Good In Bed" doormats on Etsy? Mind you, I'm not sure how the neighbours would interpret that.

@Croque 🤣🤣🤣, I'm getting one!

Absolutely agree with this.

What are you talking about?

It's not difficult to get a clear picture when you put all the dots together.

@Croque
haha! Maybe we can get a group order discount

😓I know, I'm probably not stunning enough, perish the thought! Oh well, girl can dream.

That's very insightful actually.

Yes, anybody else like to join?

She has friends from her university days, she has friends from her Toronto Days, she has friends who were co-stars. They were all at her wedding.

If these are all her long term good friends, why did they sit in the main body of the church, whilst people she'd only met once or twice sat in the quire? There might be a very good explanation for it so I'd love to know what it is, if anyone knows.

Strange how everyone clutches their pearls when H&M take a piss on themselves

TBF that's one thing they're expert at.

it's all so endearing when PC hisses at staff.

Not endearing at all. Revealing, yes.

😂

@smileandjoy indeed, indeed.

You have to be wilfully blind not to see it. Just learned on Twitter that Valentine Low was the journalist who referred to Archie as "frogspawn". The plot truly thickens!

It looks like we are going to have a parallel discussion on this thread, so would be really interested to read your take on this whole thing.

I am tempted to do another positive non-bashing thread, but the last time I did that, some of the Usual Suspects on this thread came on and did exactly what they are accusing us of in that they derailed the thread even though there were quite a few bashing threads they could have posted on.

So we may as well continue our rational, non-bashing discussion here 😁😁

There are a few conditions: you got to practice philanthropy, offset your airmiles and collect rescue dogs, chickens and diamonds.

If the same bad behaviour persists then it will certainly be exposed - on this and other threads.

@Croque , please can I join , I can do half those things and I can practice the rest!!! 🤣🤣

@LondonWolf , I'm still shocked about the umbrella story ! , fancy running and tattling to your mom like a toddler when you pushing 60ish!

@Croque
only if I’m allowed to publish my book about a cat. It is insightful and authentic about the relationship between a human and a cat. It’s lovely and designed to pull at heart strings. I howver do not have a relationship with a cat irl - they scratch things and annoy me and make me look bad. But apparently there a lot of cat people out there so mass appeal

There was a time when PA was popular, but tantrumming like a toddler is rather wearisome in a middle aged man, PH take note.
