Shut your pretty mouth and start opening!

It's TEN YEARS since the first episode of My Mad Fat Diary aired!

🎧📀📕🍻🍕🩱🎸🛵

Were you watching in the early days or did you discover it later (or even recently)?

If My Mad Fat Diary means something special to you, it'd be lovely to hear from you, either below or in an Ask. Memories of the show, favourite cast members, outfits, songs, or scenes, and the fanfics or fan art you loved.

crumch

these motherfuckers don’t deserve any pussy. fuck their dumb asses. ladies, when a guy asks you out and suggests a place to go, ALWAYS suggest another place to see if his ass is some lame pua wannabe. fellas, stop being a bunch of insecure pussies. this ISN’T how you prove yourselves to be alphas. smfh. real men know when to flex and when to chill, this was a fucking “chill” moment and he blew trying to be “alpha.” dumbass.

“do not tolerate disagreement” wtf?!?! some of you motherfuckers want a fucking dog NOT a woman. 

A few examples:

Constantly move her around, each time she follows you build compliance

Ask for little things, which again builds compliance

Get lots of little yeses in a row to make it harder for her to say no

Location - make it easier for her to come back to yours than get home (eg drive her somewhere)

Talk her into selling herself, once she is in the mindset of demonstrating her value she will retrospectively believe she must have done it because you are high value

Deep dive - basically show interest in her as a person, but in a laid back way so she thinks you’re both interested but not amazed

As soon as she fails to comply, ruin the moment completely and “snap out of it” then try again to escalate to sex (so she will comply so as not to ruin things again)

Use female friends to look popular and well-adjusted so she doesn’t see you as a threat, then basically act as a threat now she has talked herself out of being scared of you

Don’t have conversations by text or phone, just use it to get her to meet you alone

Sharon Rooney has joined the cast of new BBC thriller, The Control Room.

The Scottish drama has just started filming, in Sharon's hometown of Glasgow.

Iain De Caestecker (Roadkill) and Joanna Vanderham (The Paradise) lead an ensemble cast which also includes Daniel Portman from Game of Thrones, Taj Atwal from Line of Duty and Stuart Bowman from The Bodyguard. 

The Control Room follows the story of ambulance service emergency call handler Gabe, played by De Caestecker, who has his world 'turned upside down when he receives a desperate life-and-death call from a woman who appears to know him', according to the BBC.

It is written by Nick Leather (who also wrote Murdered For Being Different, starring My Mad Fat Diary's Nico Mirallegro) and directed by Amy Neil (Hanna, Trust Me).
