Brick strikes again...

Why entertain this woman? It's like listening to the opinions of the old man down in the bookies. I'm sure someone will listen, but for the general population, it's irrelevant tosh. Brick should talk less to the media, and more to that burly husband of hers.

Believe me some of those old men are very wise

Some of them, Brick is the one in the corner that just blew all her money again and is looking for sympathy and is wondering why everyone in the place is rolling their eyes at her.

Up until just now I hadn't read the Brick woman's previous article. Yes, all is clear now vicious lady!

Just skimmed over a couple of her previous "stories" as well. Loves herself. What a cow.

Is it just me or is Samantha Brick not even that good-looking?

It's just you, we're all dying to smash in her back doors!

She has even turned some of the women on here lezzie

:pac:

While Brick is a "stuck up her own arse" windbag, she is sorta right about yer wan Beardy, she really is an ugly aul bag but saying that its very easy to turn over channel if you find her looks too much to look at....its what God created the remote control for.

Amazing how many people take her seriously.

Indeed. I never paid much attention to her before, but looked up a few pictures now. She's actually rather plain, especially the lower part of her face with that rounded chin area - totally out of proportion. There are dozens of better-looking women than her on the BBC. If her programmes had content, as Mary Beard's certainly have, viewers would pay more attention to the programmes than to the person presenting them.

Just imagine the shit she'd be in if she suggested, using the same logic, that the royals get the young, good-looking Kate to read the Christmas message this year instead of her granny-in-law the aul Windsor wan.:D:D

Maybe she's over-compensating for her embarrassment at having a name that rhymes with Prick, and she isn't getting enough dick.

Mary Beard is a wonderful presenter. She's knowledgeable, witty, and brilliant at what she does. She seems to be a far better class of human being than the superficial, attention seeking Brick. If ever a surname suited a person its this one.

I bet she drinks pints as well, fair play to her.

On "Meet the Romans" last week, she was talking about how the Romans liked drink, sex, and food. And then she paused, and said something like "they're the things that make life worth living." What a legend. She's full of character, and seems like a million times more interesting and fun than Brick, and a million times more decent than AA Gill, who seems at this stage to have had the blood in his veins replaced with vinegar.

Why on Earth does any of this Brick-nonsense qualify as news?

Seriously, who gives a crap about this woman and why does she and her silly pronouncements get so many column-inches?

It just doesn't make any sense to me!

It's as news-worthy as a burglar getting bashed by an old lady or a pair of otters holding hands paws as they swim around a pool at the zoo. It's a bit of light relief from more weighty concerns, a reassuring sign that we can still tolerate narcissistic twits, and don't feel the urge to put them on trial as witches and burn them at the stake for heresy.

You might think that Samantha Brick was subjected to "trial by media", but it can't have been all that bad, since she still has a paying job, and she's at it again. This time she's bashing French women as "predatory adulterers", starting with the girlfriend of the new French President:

I have been reduced to tears on numerous occasions by French women who feel no need to disguise their dislike of me. Examples include greeting my husband (a Frenchman born and bred) but ignoring me, passing ahead of me in the queue at the post office, and ignoring my friendly hello at the school gate.

I think she's a "useful idiot", in the sense that the way people react to her rants tells us more about them than it does about her. A troll, in other words.
