Also: is there any truth to Tony Curtis' story that they had an affair? Seemed pretty unlikely to me.

I like how Billy Wilder spoke about developing film projects and realising with a shock that he needed MM to bring it to life, and of course, she wasn't there any more.

Did he regret the unkind things he said about working with her? I hope so.

Thank you. Monroe turned in an incredible, iconic performance for the ages under difficult circumstances. We should celebrate her achievement.

Great title and cover! I look forward to reading it.

Yup. I went to a bunch of schools (9) and most of them had kids from all around the world. They brought awesome food to school and wore cool clothes. Just normal stuff.

Agreed. I knew a little boy with two mums when I was a child. Mums are cool, so I thought he was extra lucky. That’s all, it was otherwise just normal stuff.

He's right about that.

The question is: why so we keep voting them in? There are other choices.

Here in Australia (and other Britishish places perhaps?) we call them singlets.

Lovely! Although I suspect the daffodil-moth is more of a cricket.

Oh to be young and idealistic. The boomers have had years of experience and understand that β€˜obey’ doesn’t wash when you’re trying to build a life with someone. That relationships are more complex and need more care.

Glorious band art, really takes me back to the heady days of indie in the '80s. Some great works here (love the Edwyn Collins! Great sketches).

Yes, the casting was a surprise - but I'm glad they went with him regardless.

Agreed. But the last season was a corker! Looking forward to the new one.

Oh no! Ashley's doing a splendid job. I love the new dynamic. Although Perez was pretty good.....and he's still in the new novels I think.
