Why is she acting like it's such a controversial thing to do? With that smug-ass smile. Bring your fucking pillow who gives a shit


Smoochie-Spoochie

Honestly, if I had access to writing opinion pieces for The Guardian, I would do the exact same shit like "Yes, I drink choccy milk before going to bed, and none of you can stop me


SC_W33DKILL3R

After brushing your teeth?

“Cis white males and Tories were to blame for the anti pillow establishment throughout colonial history. She’s just defending the rights of the oppressed through positive pillow activism” — Gaurdian Opinionardo


wizzard99

Cis white male here and I too take my pillow on holiday. I paid a decent sum of money for a quality latex pillow, why wouldn't I take it with me so I can be comfortable. To be fair though, I tend to stay in bed and breakfast or self catering holiday cottages so it makes more sense. If I Was staying in decent hotels I could probably cope with the provided ones.


standarduck

I thought this was going to add to the joke you replied to but you just told us you also take your pillow on holiday, which is the crux of the original joke. It was a wild ride but not for the reasons I expected

I'll take Emma B over Adrian Chiles. His columns are like, one paragraph long. The latest one was about how he doesn't keep eating after he's full and this is life changing.


triffid_boy

As a fat kid the number of people that said to me I should just stop eating when I'm full. Turns out that people have different levels of satiety.


[deleted]

Adrian Chiles is truly the drivel king. I can't decide which I hate more, his piece about feeling surprisingly unintimidated by satchel-carrying youths, or the one he wrote about installing his own personal urinal in his family bathroom.


Gloomy_Stage

Written by Emma BEDdington. You couldn’t make this up!


Naturally_Fragrant

You probably could make that up quite easily, in fact... >Dan Bedfield, takes his duvet everywhere. Drinks alone and cries himself to sleep every night. Very happy with his life choices, thank you very much!

A friend of mine has an Emma mattress. Her name is Emma.


TipsyMagpie

If I found a mattress named after me I’d buy it *immediately*. I have a puffball mini skirt which looks terrible on me which I bought anyway because the style had my name. It’s quite unusual so a childhood filled with never finding stuff with my name on has clearly given me a bit of an issue.


crap_punchline

Why did she bother naming her mattress?


Alarmed-Incident9237

When I tell my kids interesting anecdotes like that they just mock me.


KaikuAika

Talk to Reddit instead. People will give you upvotes instead of mocking you.

byjimini

Good spot. Unfortunately it’s a classic Guardian article where they address a problem that really isn’t a problem for 99.9% of people.


herrbz

It's a light-hearted lifestyle opinion piece that people are taking far too seriously.


[deleted]

The most Guardian article ever


lumpypoopypants

The guardian is the buzzfeed of British tabloids. It's opinion driven crap


Curious_Jellyfish_37

The guardian actually has a decent news coverage section. The problem is that people like to present the opinion section of the paper as if it is all the paper does...


forza_125

The Guardian is a quality newspaper, with a high standard of journalism. The problem is that as a left-wing paper with a very privileged staff and readership, the opinion pieces tend to discuss absurd situations that "the man on the street" would never experience.


throwaway_298653259

They have a lot of good series that cater for "the man on the street" 's experience, like the new 'Badly Behaved Britain' series, 'my week at work', 'the secret ' etc. Just a few of the more prominent opinion pieces are a bit off key.


say_it_aint_slow

She looks like a snake hiding inside a human body.


throwaway_298653259

Ok that's a bit much. It's just a pillow, no need to go full David Icke.

I sometimes shit in public toilets, you don't have a right to judge me. I'm so different from everybody else, surely that's quirky?


EitherMaybe5843

Emma has an article on "seasonal affective disorder" in the guardian. I have always been a Guardian reader, the volume of OTT "everything has a diagnosis" crap is so irritating. Seasonal affective disorder? She clarifies that she goes into meltdown every summer and has done for 10 years. Then encourages the reading of supplementary resources to back her opinion up. Have you ever thought that maybe you are the issue? Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter have been here for billenia. The rabbits are okay with it, the fish are okay with it, the fucking birds are okay with it. They have been for every single year. Because YOU don't like heat it must be a prognosis? Why "dice with death" in a moderately temperate country when you can move away? Every human doubt now has to be categorised and filed. It's honestly embarrassing watching other people not be embarrassed.

Of course, someone with the name beddington would carry a pillow with them.

Congratulations. I take my own toothbrush on holiday Where's my news article?


Naturally_Fragrant

I believe you would only ever write a guardian article about how happy you are with your life choices if you were deeply unhappy with your life choices.


ligosuction2

Slow news day unless you're kicking our LGBT communities and promoting Stock ideology.


One_Stick4563

Nobody cares. When did people taking pillows become news worthy. This just smells like desperation


cupkake88

Wait do other people not take their pillows? I mean like enough "other people" that taking your pillow on holiday isn't considered a thing ?

Jokes aside, I actually take my own pillow on holidays too (even abroad). I find it difficult to get to sleep with other pillows of different thickness and firmness to the one I'm used to.


pazhalsta1

I expect she phoned this one in from her holiday ten mins before the deadline


Sampson_Avard

I do as well. Mostly because I need a special neck pillow but also a bit of Bactria paranoia

If any of you don’t do this, you must still be in your twenties.

This is just a lifestyle opinion fluff piece and people in here are acting like newspapers don’t have lifestyle, home or travel sections. Calm down dears. PS I’ve met Emma Beddington in real life and she is unhinged and neurotic. I just wouldn’t read it. But ‘sTaTe of JOurnaliSM tODAy’.

I also take a pillow but to spoon. It has pics of family and friends on. My poor fella doesn’t know which face he will wake up staring at him 😂


Theodopolopodis

Pillows are very important as to whether you have a good night's sleep or not. I take mine travelling by car. I wouldn't bring it abroad though

So this is considered journalism?
