We were watching a tv show last night presented by Stephen Mulhern. I wasn't paying ever so much attention but then he mentioned another show, The Jump, and my ears pricked up because I watched some of that and thought some of the contestants were really brave. He introduced this woman who had been on that show and said something like 'she was impressive on The Jump, but even more impressive was how good she made that skintight outfit look'.

It's as if it doesn't matter what she was doing. Like it's irrelevant. I called him out for it on Twitter, but instead of responding, he just blocked me from following him and seeing his tweets. Neither of which I'm interested in anyway.

I notice this more and more and now, like this mornign on BBC where they were interviewing Sigorney Weaver about the chappie film, first thing - your looking great, there was a kind of "thanks right back at you" - like WTH has that got to do anything with the film???

Had been wondering about tweeting using a giveus a_twirl or something similar but see its Bruce Forsyth's name!

On BBC Breakfast the other day an Olympic gold medal winning cyclist was on to talk about a horrific accident that she was recovering from and the sports presenter started the interview by saying how nice she looked and then started wittering about her lovely hair. At least he had the sense to look embarrassed about it.
