With no holds barred – just as you’d expect – Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn’t worked in her relationships, and what she has learned – the hard way – about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart.’ Reading this book was like having a conversation with your friends. After reading this book I feel that Angie is a funny, witty and unique character. Joanna Mason is facing another frustrating spell on the sidelines after she suffered a leg injury on Monday in a freak gallops incident involving pigeons. However meekly and humbly, we will attempt to follow in “Last Week Tonight's” formula in today’s Early Look.

This was such a great insight into Angie’s life, showing a greatly different side to her than we’ve seen on television. Well written in a way that Angie’s voice still carries through, I just wish that it had managed to go into a bit more depth on certain issues. However I fully understand why this might not have been the case ❤️. Easy to read and perfect to get you through isolation!And what am I studying? Something I have been doing for a long time, “Advising family businesses”. I just wanted to add some more tools & frameworks to my toolkit – so now I hopefully learned more about Succession planning & Entrepreneurial renewal as well as strengthening my knowledge of Strategic planning & Governance. With no holds barred - just as you'd expect - Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn't worked in her relationships, and what she has learned - the hard way - about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart. Now, for the ‘smirk that could cut the rind off a stilton cheese…’ I am an English student and this phrase thoroughly puzzled and bemused. Maybe I need to be a better cheese expert to fully comprehend it. Does it mean I have sharp teeth? Maybe a cheesy grin? It is awfully specific, isn’t it? I am fascinated he capitalised ‘Stilton’: it is clearly a very important cheese to him. I wonder if the ‘ smell’ of ‘a budding modelling career’ is of stilton cheese? Reality star, Angie Kent has successfully transitioned platforms from the screen, to socials to now her own autobiography! It is authentically Angie and you can imagine her sitting on her gogglebox couch (with or without Yvie, depending on which chapters you read, haha) telling you how see she's the world as you read.

In Gino’s experience, every single company that has consistently gotten what they want from their business as well as enduring & overcoming huge challenges like a pandemic or a recession, has had this one thing in common. I had seen Angie Kent on Gogglebox, so I was interested in reading about what goes on in her life when the cameras are gone. For example, a 2016 study of 100 people found a significant difference in blood viscosity after consuming high-pH water compared to regular water after a strenuous workout. This means blood flowed more efficiently with alkaline water which then increases oxygen delivery throughout the body. At the moment they have May Laugh Fest on, so for the whole month of May there’s an exciting line-up of comedy shows like ‘Improv Magic,’ ‘A Bard’s Tale’ and ‘Instant Broadway.’ The best thing about Improv is how every show is different & delightfully surprising.

An insightful and heartbreaking work. . . . Schmidt successfully negotiates her dual roles of ethnographer and kin through critical analysis of the humor which is considered necessary to navigating a difficult career working in Wisconsin’s Department of Corrections.” Even though there seems to be a consensus in the medical & scientific community that there is not yet enough research data to validate what we believe are the benefits of alkaline water, it still tastes great & water in any form is good for you! CryptoCabbie is however correct in his remark about ‘Poor little Eva Carroll’ — I am in fact quite small. The reason ‘I deemed’ the harassment to have been directed towards me was because the perpetrator looked up and down my body as though he was mentally undressing me as he said it. Everyone knows that look- the look which makes your hair stand on end and makes you feel as though your legs will give way beneath you. Why this troll insists on placing ‘sexual’ in quotation marks is beyond me —the man shouted that he would ‘like to have a go on that,’ and I am pretty sure he wasn’t talking about the teacup ride at the fair. Drawing on decades of personal experience, a dozen years of sustained field research, and a wealth of pertinent studies across a range of disciplines, Claire Schmidt offers what is at once a deeply humanistic ethnography of prison workers and the finest extant study of any occupation’s folk humor.”
