Wow Sam, that was an epic analysis, if I ever saw one! This could be a master class in how to depict unpleasant characters, in one of those chi-chi creative writing courses. As much as Peter is a bit of a bellend, Jane's a full-on bully, the absolute worst in human assholeness. I rest my case.

Thank you Portia! From the off I knew it was an epic waste of time, but I couldn’t help myself. Haha a bit of a bellend, that’s on the money. I should have come straight to you with this, and saved myself 1278 words, an evening on iMovie and 5 lost subs - and counting

Well, good riddance to those 5! They could go read for the umpteenth time the same old, uninspiring "How to make money on Substack"-, "How I survived 3 burnouts and a half"-, "Navel gazing for Dummies"-posts. I'm here for pearls like this. You can write up a storm in impeccable English, you're funny AF, you're original and all kind of synonyms for marvellous. Don't ever change, Sam, keep up the good fight!

Don't we all navel gaze on Substack? I'm as guilty as the next person! But I appreciate those who do it with flair, and don't take themselves too seriously, like you gentlemen.

Honestly in CDWM history Peter isn't the worst loser by any means. I can't remember who would be, specifically, but with such a finisher about grace and decorum you'll always be a winner in my eyes. That said, I've never quite understood British humor because it's SO rude but then they're ACTUALLY offended all the time. Or maybe it's not humorous to begin with and they're being plain rude? Or are they secretly super competitive and that's why they behave nasty on national TV? Who knows... I just remember that the American was a real sweetheart.

Haha exactly, appreciate your verdict here man!

This lady is way worse but I haven’t done the further viewing. But she’s a charmless loser https://youtu.be/A2tMijevgm4?si=eOrx1YTQYr6jIdPQ

Haha I would say it can be rude, but it’s only funny if it’s funny. If someone is rude to me and it’s funny I’ll enjoy it. But a rude stab at humour is no good at all. I don’t remember anyone balanced on CDWM (glad that’s taking off btw) I think they all want the dosh or imagined status. Fuck knows! Yeah he was a darling. What an absolute gem

Maybe you’re right! Or maybe I’ll overlook the flaws of anyone capable of a zinger
