This is true. Very true. As a child I had 26 My Little Ponies, which was very much a lot of Ponies compared to anyone else I knew, but also not remotely enough Ponies, considering how many I didn’t own that I still wanted!
(I’ve since acquired 5 more when they rereleased some retro 80s ones. 😁)

It all looked too emotionally fraught to me from the start. I never looked further (I thought it always was a fancy restaurant!)

You know when you feel like writing, like mentally you’re in the zone…but you don’t *physically* feel like sitting there in your chair and writing?

GAAAAAH to that feeling. Work with me here, physical body! I hardly ever feel like writing and you’re fucking it up.

I have a suspicion that “far too many books but also not enough books” is something all book collectors feel at times. 😆

I like Halloween season, but as a film fan I’m annoyed by it because I hate horror movies and all anyone wants is recommendations for horror movies. But soon, SOON, it will be Christmas season and then watch out, for I will recommend Christmas movies the likes of which you have never seen! Mwahaha!

There’ll be more spoilers for traitors than taskmaster, was probably everyone’s logic!

I was going, “is this discordant on purpose??? Or just terrible?”

Fascinating dream the other night where I had a visitor, but suddenly it was my childhood home and all my dogs from my whole life were there. But it was definitely 2025, and I was amazed how old my dogs were, and wondering how I’d never realised that Shadow was 36 years old now. More in alt text!
All five of these dogs, sunning themselves in our very dry backyard many years ago, appeared in the dream, alive. And very very old. God I loved having so many dogs. Sinthia, Sally, Jemma, Shadow, and Alexandra - such good girls I loved with all my heart. I wish I had a photo of them all looking at the camera!

Oh yes drag race might already be on iplayer even as we type!

Celeb Traitors live because there’ll be the most spoilers online for that. Then Drag Race uk the next day, and Taskmaster for whenever you feel like a little joyful treat in the next few days.
If it helps, I never watch Drag Race live, and I’ve never seen a spoiler (obvs avoid the hashtags here).

This could all have been resolved if they’d just asked for “onstage deaths”! But then of course it wouldn’t have come to 13… 🧐

It’s annoying me that I so badly need to know what the answer was! I hate unanswered questions and unsolved mysteries; they really get under my skin. 😫🤣

I was just talking to someone last night about whether Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would count! I’m disappointed we never got to find out what the show had decided was the correct answer. Or what Stephen Fry’s calculations were!

The real show is actually really gripping too! The big cast is necessary so the traitors don’t get found out too fast. It’s a lot of people to get used to at the start, but you need them to be there.

Season 2? There are so many fantastic people who might go for it now that they see how good this one is!

The second Cat spoke to Claudia about wanting to be a Traitor I was totally behind choosing her. But your dream team is quite brilliant. I mean Alan is TERRIBLE but that's the point 😂

We'll never know because the show didn't get to say what the "correct" answer was! 😭

Right? I mean, it's announced that they died, but they don't die onstage, so...? I think it still counts?

Shrieking when Stephen Fry had to go look up how many people died in Hamlet before he could do anything else, because that would absolutely have been me. Not knowing the correct answer would have been eating away at my brain all night otherwise. #CelebrityTraitors
