Single woman's busy social life discussed in pitying tone of pensioner with lapdog

A SINGLE woman’s active social life is discussed by her friends in the condescending tone normally used about a grandmother with only a Yorkshire terrier for company. 

Unmarried Nikki Hollis, aged 37, enjoys a wealth of hobbies, solo foreign travel and all-night parties, which according to her married friends ‘at least means she gets out of the house’.

Friend and mother-of-two Sophie Rodriguez said: “Every weekend she’s off seeing a play, going clubbing, having a spa weekend. The poor, overcompensating cow.

“Saturday she was at a champagne reception, drowning her sorrows. Yesterday she posts a video saying ‘I’m so scared’ ostensibly about doing her first sky dive, but really because she’s afraid she’ll never find a man and will die alone.

“Every week she’s at a new restaurant. I suppose it’s an outing and better than the beans on toast she eats every other night. And a chance to hear a voice that isn’t the shipping forecast on Radio 4.

“I don’t know who she thinks she’s fooling with her rock climbing, her girls’ weekends in Lisbon, her art galleries, her gigs, her holidays in Iceland. All the desperate acts of a woman uncertain why she is even alive.”

Hollis said: “Why do all my friends keep randomly telling me I’m brave? Is it because of the camel race I did in Dubai?”

The White Lotus: Butlin's Skegness confirmed

THE fourth series of prestige dark comedy-drama The White Lotus is to be set at the Butlin’s Resort in Skegness, producers have confirmed. 

After seasons set at luxury resorts in Hawaii, Sicily and Ko Samui, the show’s creator has finally agreed permission for filming at the legendary UK playground of the rich and famous.

Mike said: “It’s a huge win for us. We’re honoured and blessed to have the opportunity to hold a mirror to the fabulous wealth and disturbing excess of the Lincolnshire coastline.

“A weekend at Butlin’s is to lose oneself in a phantasmagoria of the deluded and spiritually unmoored super-rich, each lost in their own gratification. Especially if they have the Gold apartment package and £25.95 per day all-inclusive unlimited drinks.

“The original vision for The White Lotus was to visit all three Butlin’s – Minehead, Skegness and Bognor Regis – but they jealously guard the privacy of their guests, who are after all the global elite.

“We’ve pencilled in Helen Hunt to play a divorcée frittering away a crypto fortune on extras like Adventure Golf, Bryan Cranston as a Mr Tumble-style entertainer whose ketamine addiction stops him connecting with his adult son, and Stephen Mulhern as a redcoat.

“The twisted finale incorporates the Peppa Pig show, a drunken backstage liaison with a member of B*Witched and a firework discharging early. It’s exceptionally clever satire.”
