I really tried to warm to her whilst listening to the podcast, but she is pretty annoying isn't she? She keeps mentioning how funny she is, which is really off-putting, and tries to speak like a teenager which is a bit cringeworthy.
Not as cringey as the story she told of sitting next to a bloke on a plane who she thought might be a terrorist and "try to talk him out of his ways", "just in case". Cos that just didn't happen, did it? And if it did, then she's an idiot
I think that's my biggest problem with her. I read her book, and not much of it rings true. Like she's presenting her life as far more eventful and funny than it actually is. I know that's what comedians do, and that's probably what she tells herself, but she's not a comedian. Just a hack, who comes out with the odd funny line in her columns
She's so clearly in love with her 'ol self, that it's just impossible to warm to her. And THAT face she does. THAT face
No doubt she's a nice lady when not playing the character she puts on, but I doubt we'll ever get to see that person. It's all artifice, and self-conscious kookiness
I think I'm more of a Grace Dent man, me
