Happy birthday!

Me, a Burmese woman with longish black hair wearing a black t-shirt that says ‘Free Myanmar’. I’m standing in front of some out-of-focus wisteria and I’m smiling slightly.

47 today.

My sixth birthday since the military coup in Myanmar.

Hahaha

Only filming there, perhaps – Caitlin Moran on the writing team suggests it might be Midlands?

Yes I can't believe they wrote her out

Julie Walters as Pauline Mole and Gian Sammarco as Adrian Mole, in the 1980s TV adaptation of the secret diary of Adrian mole age 13 3/4

Can’t wait for the new Adrian Mole adaptation. Pauline Mole was the Madonna of TV mothers.

wahoo! my despatch from Budapest on the Hungarian election is out! you can give it a read here, it's very jolly and - I hope! - fairly informative: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

Advice written especially for Captain Mark Phillips in 1968

Haha thank you

Hahaha same!

Hahaha

Hahaha. Age gap discourse has changed so much in the last few years, hasn’t it? Not exactly a child bride.

Hahaha. Imagine watching the Brits and then giving him that gig.

He sucked the joy out of every sketch to the point of asphyxiation. Thought the cast did well regardless.
