@fesshole When I worked in PR we used to choose at random but from a spreadsheet of genuine followers, dodgy emails inc this type weren't included. One lady who won some bedding messaged me to tell me she was undergoing chemo & having beautiful soft bedding to sink into really helped ❤️

@imshanereaction Carol and Susan were probably the least dysfunctional long-term couple on the show, which I always thought was great. Some jokes definitely haven't aged well but i never thought Ross was homophobic, he treats Susan as the person his wife left him for 🤷

@Varkentine @WhatTheTrans Miller is far more replaceable, as many fans didn't like the casting in the first place! We wanted Grant who may now be too old/not interested but I don't think recasting The Flash would be as big as Superman or Batman... The staunch refusal to cast the TV versions was weird.

@Dxnzil Can you please also make a police report? Telling the police that a man was acting suspiciously and asked about a woman who claimed he was following her and giving them a description could make a difference. Sadly it often carries more weight coming from a man.

@vicdamonesports @danishacarterr @ComeOnManPOD It's not about the gap, it's about the age of the youngest person in an age gap relationship. Under 25s are largely immature, naive and easier to manipulate, the younger they are, the more that applies. After 25 I don't really have an issue but in your 30s you grow up a lot too.

@aleuthard @KILLTOPARTY He doesn't love her, though, 'my current girlfriend' when she's the only one he's had is a dead giveaway, as is 'solid relationship'. He should do her a favour and let her go. They are both still very young, this idea that he can 'open up the relationship' is painfully naive.

@JZ9916 @TR4FALGARS @Radfemfuture It's not the truth, it's your unsupported opinion. Statistically men remarry after divorce or the death of their spouse because they don't like being alone, women don't because they often find they prefer it. Now, many women are just skipping the first marriage & children step.
