Lust, yearning and sweet misery: is Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” an antidote to today’s lacklustre dating scene?

The new film of this wildest of love stories captures a romantic intensity that contrasts with today’s age of admin-like dating apps and ‘embarrassing boyfriends’ It’s the kind of all-consuming love that will drive you mad, transform you into a vengeful monster and possibly endure beyond the grave. To my tender teenage heart, this seemed deeply romantic when I first encountered Wuthering Heights at school.

I was hardly alone in feeling so struck by Emily Brontë’s classic novel. Emerald Fennell, the film-maker behind a new big-screen reimagining of the book, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has taken a selective approach to the source material but hasn’t skimped on its intensity.

“What I wanted to make was something that distilled the feeling that I had when I was 14, when I read it,” she explains in a promotional interview.

We visited on a rainy October day and it was remarkably quiet and calm. I particularly enjoyed the abstract works – well worth a trip up the hill.

Experience: I am the Excel world champion

I have been called the LeBron James of spreadsheets, but I try not to take myself too seriously Growing up in Waterford, south-east Ireland, I was always good at maths. I first used Excel at university in Cork while studying maths and physics.

We used a software programme called Mathematica but it was expensive, so at home I used Excel as a workaround to do the same tasks, using it to generate, say, a list of prime or Fibonacci numbers. After that, I worked at a consultancy company in London and started using it more conventionally.

I soon became the go-to person for people who had random questions about the software, such as how to use it to figure out how many trucks are needed to transport a certain amount of packages. Continue reading...
