On the one hand, yes. On the other, an already injured person possibly injuring themselves further.

I'm absolutely no fan of the SNP or Humza BTW.

I know what you mean about pratfalls. One sometimes can't help feeling sorry for the person, because there but for the grace of God.

But in this case, it felt like a bit of schadenfreude because he was zooming along and making his aide run after him like some inferior lackey.

Is there anything JK Rowling can't do?

She hasn’t been round to fix my guttering yet, which I feel is a significant shortcoming.

I thought that's why she isn't home right now. If she didn't turn up to sort your guttering then she's absolute scum. Fuck sake Jo, stop faffing around with women's rights and get on with Otter's gutters!

Is that Katie...Neeves?

I think 'I secretly (ahem) used my sister's knickers then returned them' is actually worse. Reminiscent of the Mirror's ketamine apology to another Katie.

Chersfrozenface · 02/04/2024 14:08

I can imagine most women and quite a lot of men going "Urgh!" involuntarily at hearing that.

Remember the episode in Friends when Joey puts on Chandler's clothes, without underpants on, and Chandler's reaction?

ADoggyDogWorld · 02/04/2024 14:09

OMG. Does anyone have a clip of the knicker, erm, borrower, saying that the knickers were, erm, borrowed, please?

I'm hanging fire till I see how she copes in the prison laundry. If I remember rightly, it's only Top Dog who gets to use that big industrial trouser press.

It's amazing - you can hear the presenter's jaw drop open 🤣🤣🤣
world at one from 20mins in, Katieself from 25mins

as ever the radio is the perfect medium

Isn't it just.

CriticalCondition · 02/04/2024 14:32

You can hear Jonny Dymond the presenter saying 'Riighttt...' as Neeves throws the knicker stealing bomb on the table. Neeves then insists 'I never did! I never did!'. Neeves was just caught wearing them's sister's knickers. So that's cleared that up then. Good-oh.

Have our Special Monitors reported the whole of FWR to Scots Cops yet?

Do we need to resurrect the thread about scarpering cos the rozzers are coming?

Datun · 02/04/2024 14:39

No, boys don't try on their sister's knickers!

And no, being female isn't defined as let's try on someone else's underwear!

The downside to Operation Let Them Speak is it you occasionally have to hear what they're saying.

Datun · 02/04/2024 14:44

Her pointing out that rapist Isla Bryson is a man and should not be put in a women's prison is a hate crime according to that person on the radio.

Talk about prove JK Rowling's point.

True. If the claim had been, "Lots of boys/men, if left alone with a teacosy/pan/stray item with an opening, will put in on their heads," I'd have nodded.

“Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.” ― Billy Connolly

She's actually currently on my roof redoing the pointing she did badly round the chimney stack last summer.

I'll send her to Otter when she's finished.

CriticalCondition · 02/04/2024 14:48

And then there's a peculiar thing where Neeves tries to laugh this incident off as just something that children do. Whilst simultaneously claiming it's the first time Neeves recollects feeling female.

Hmm. Schroedinger's Knickers it seems.

DoYouSmokePaul · 02/04/2024 14:50

The Neeves interview was very embarrassing for Neeves. Accusing Queen Joanne of being “a not very nice person” and transphobic? Is that the best you’ve got? Jesus wept, I’ve heard more robust arguments from my three year old niece.
