There was a time that, whenever we thought of Mars Bars, we thought of the delicious Marianne Faithfull.

I remember her!
I never thought hought about her brain-power, too much else on our minds.
That Swede dwarf gets less attractive every year, and I do not mean just the rubbish she talks

I do agree with you, though, on both what you said and what I had to omit!

It’s ages since I heard that phrase.
It’s very suitable.
Why do so many mugs treat her as if she’s worth listening to.
