Just seen her fox hunting comment quoted on twitter https://x.com/flowerthatflows/status/18 ... 3603140753


And I'm pretty sure that middle bit has been totally made up?

That quote is taken verbatim from an NME interview back in 1998:

Of course we don't know if those were the exact words, but my guess is they actually were. And to be honest with you, I find bizarre how this little quote is still discussed almost thirty years later... I mean, she might have changed her opinion about it two hundred times in the meantime

Thanks, so it's an accurate quote, I thought it may have been embellished to make her comments look a bit worse than they originally were! but appears not..

I've seen a few anti-fox hunting comments from the likes of Michelle Henning, so I wonder how this goes down with them, not that I think Polly owes anyone an explanation..

Just a heads up...

Mastermind next week 28/10/24

Clive Myrie tests four more contenders on their specialist subjects and general knowledge in another heat of the classic quiz. The specialist subjects are the poetry of John Keats, the award-winning musician PJ Harvey, the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV and the films of David Fincher.

See how many you get!

I thought some of the Mastermind questions were quite tricky. The lady answering the questions did well I thought but couldn't answer two of them. I couldn't answer three. How did anyone else get on?
