Transgressed the unwritten rules, like when the Yeti sets Bexy's car on fire in The Firm.

It's actually a really cute picture. Tiny baby sticks arm in front of face.

I seem to have entered an alternative reality...

A film about football violence, m'lud. Yeti and Bexy were the leaders of rival gangs.

The competition for the Andy McDandy award for obscure 20th century cultural references seems to be hotting up.

Have a look at the photo, seriously, it's lovely (if annoyingly hard to find an image the right size to post here).

You won't believe how Amanda Platell can look at it and get angry.

Some can't get beyond the idea that all younger women are silly gels and everything they do is wrong.

[Andy McDandy]

Amanda's opinion is that she is always right.

To illustrate this, she is a big Strickly fan. In her columns, she has argued that it's a serious dance contest, and that "fun" contestants shouldn't get too far. She has also argued that the judges booting "fun" contestants is wrong, because the licence paying public (her) wants to be entertained, not watch a serious contest. She has argued for the judges to have more power, and less; and for the audience to have more or less power depending on which way the wind is blowing.

The only other constants are that she is a week or so behind everyone else, and that she hates anyone more or less anything than her.

I was trying to work out whether Yeti or Bexy was Tom Cruise's character.

Harry said something disparaging about Trump after Trump said something nasty about Meghan. This, to Mandy, is proof that they both deserve to burn in hell for eternity.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/arti ... eghan.html

Meanwhile Meghan comes in for more grief because she hasn't done Mandy's research for her. Mandy thought she was launching a cookery show playing up her royal connections. Which is bad. So when she does something different, that's even worse, as it denies Mandy an opportunity to use a pre-prepared rant.

More royal news!

Charles and Camilla will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in Italy where they'll meet the Pope – a reminder of how far Charles's married mistress has come and how curious it is for the pontiff to welcome them given the Catholic Church's disapproval of divorce.

Maybe because the Pope's quite chill, and not a curtain twitching harridan revelling in perceived moral superiority?

Meanwhile, boo for Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively, while yay for Princess Anne and Kay Burley. And a surprise boo for Nice Kate, for wearing something brown. And finally a trite "snowflake students" thing about Romeo and Juliet, ending with a sobering warning that knifing people is upsetting - which is the exact point the trigger warning she sneers at is making.

Amanda has a picture that isn't three decades old.

[Tubby Isaacs]

We're on to "responding to shit Donald Trump says about your wife is bad, actually"?

Who sets these rules? Ted Cruz?

[davidjay]

How mean-spirited and living in the past do you have to be to use the phrase "married mistress"?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Charles was divorced too, wasn't he? Has he come far, or is it just the woman?

Men are allowed to take mistresses but married women should stay at home.

More utterly deranged nonsense from Platel.

I crossed swords with Amanda Abbington over her epic Strictly spat with Giovanni Pernice - this is what happened when she spotted me in the front row of her new play

When Amanda says she crossed swords what she actually means is that she spent the best part of a year slagging Abbington off after Abbington had the audacity to reveal that Giovanni Pernice was a bully.

So after spending a year slagging off somebody who has admitted to having mental health issues Amanda thought it would be a great idea to go along to preview night and sit in the front row of the audience. This really is pathetic on so many levels. If you have spent over a year slagging somebody off why would you waste your time going to go and see them in a play especially on preview night? Thankfully most of the comments actually called Amanda out on her crass behaviour.

[Andy McDandy]

Inadvertently hilarious, from the opening dig at "Trendy Islington" to Mandy's horror at going to see a plaaay, and having to endure 90 - count 'em - minutes without a break. And they don't even have a proper set, with some French windows! Not to mention that after a long period of mocking, gaslighting, and generally doing her best to break Abbington, several of her complaints were upheld. As she grudgingly admits.

Meshes rather well with the "things Mail types profess to love but clearly don't get" list on another thread.

And darn creepy like a psychological thriller; Kathy Bates is The Columnist.
