She has load of good qualities and is an intelligent woman, so why not use real wit and clever humour instead of the bitching. She is a bit of a showoff really. You know she reminds me of the awful friend or b/f who insults and belittles you in the pub in front of everyone. So you want to sink through the floor. We have all been around a Carol. But it depends on who she turns on, how far she can go. Another Bea.”
Agree, although I have read this a few times about her intelligence yet have never seen any evidence to back this up

The second part is that i have never seen her use any real wit or clever humour either and the drinking/bitching just seems to be covering up for her own self confidence issues.
