Summary
Laura and Carmen get into the national meltdown caused by the heatwave, from TOWIE star Lydia Bright’s school closure rant and topless men in France being fined, to school WhatsApp group chaos, David Lloyd drama, and the kind of public crash-out that makes you feel alive. They also get into the glorious pettiness of the WNBA, after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham went viral for an aggressive, extended pointing spree during an on-court bust-up. Even if you don’t know your women’s basketball, this is universal territory: someone says “don’t point at me”, so naturally the only possible response is to point even harder. It’s giving elite-athlete behaviour meets drunk-outside-the-BP-garage energy, and the girls are very much on board. Plus, there’s chocolate making in 35-degree heat, a girls’ trip to Margate, The Streets, King Charles’s tax affairs, and all the best suggestions for what Buckingham Palace should become now Charles and Camilla are officially moving out – a new Big Tesco’s?
