'Helen Lederer is the third funniest woman in the world' - Dawn French What was it like as one of a handful of women at the heart of the right-on alternative comedy scene in the 1980s? Piece of cake? Bit of a laugh? Well, yes, and no. It had its ups - but also its downs. Helen Lederer was a regular on the stand-up circuit and new-wave sketch shows in the decade that launched the careers of today's comedy household names and national treasures.

She shared stages with comedy pioneers like Ben Elton and John Hegley, and TV screens with Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Harry Enfield, and many others. From the iconic Absolutely Fabulous, to Bottom, Happy Families, Naked Video, French and Saunders and Girls on Top, it is difficult to think of a comedy show that Helen wasn't a part of. From writing radio shows, to performing on the West End her wry, witty perspectives, and her face, are unforgettable.

So, plain sailing then? Well, not really. Not That I'm Bitter, her powerful, frank, moving and characteristically funny memoir, reveals exactly how choppy the waters could be. Even in those ground-breaking, anti-Thatcher days, there was only room at top for so many women.

For the rest, it was as much a struggle to be seen and heard in the world of comedy as in any boardroom or workplace, and just as difficult to avoid the predators. This is more than the story of one decade, however. The child of a Jewish-Czech wartime refugee, Helen Lederer was never part of the mainstream.

How do you make humour from a lifelong battle against problems with weight and low-self-esteem? Where are the jokes in addictions to diet-pills and steroid injections? How can laughter defeat the darker moments, like a child's anorexia or PTSD? How do you cope with constant self-sabotage and when, despite enormous success, you still feel like a failure? Helen raises an important and open discussion around mental health alongside the evolved attitudes to women today. There's something in Helen Lederer's life-story that everyone, can relate to. A genuinely funny memoir with lots of heart (and just the right amount of bitterness!), she pulls no punches, but every blow is wrapped in a laugh of recognition.

Brilliantly written, revealing, and moving, Not That I'm Bitter is sweet, sour, laugh-out-loud, and addictive.

Useful supplement
It is difficult to measure the efficacy of these supplements. With that said, I like taking some daily Curcumin as this falls into the category of "Won't hurt, might help". The ingredient has been used for ages in different cultures, and promises a long lists of potential benefits. One would have to eat large amounts of Turmeric to get the benefits of what is concentrated in this pill, along with some black pepper for better absorption. The suggested use is 3 capsules per day, so the 180 capsules will cover 60 days /2 months. This somewhat distributes the cost of the product. There are the usual trust-increasing stamps on the label, including a Made in the USA one. The label is easy to read and attractive, and the bottle is protected by anti-tampering seals and plastic.

After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
After ***TOO MUCH*** Research The Amazon ad for this product is so ambiguous that I thought I should do some research before taking this supplement. After AN HOUR AND A HALF of googling, for information I've decided to give this 2 stars. Initially, I was thinking 4 stars (that would have been 5 stars, but I'm not happy about all the googling I had to do about the ingredients), but I decided to lower it because after a great deal of research, I'm still not sure if I should take the label's full recommended dosage, or something lower. But I'm going to start here with the positive: The main things that convinced me to order it it is that it's made in the USA in an FDA registered facility that is GMP certified. and it's 3rd party lab tested. But even though that put my mind to rest about production, the ingredient list is ambiguous, and since there's no Medical Recommended Dosage, I want to know what a safe amount to take is. The ingredients and amount of the supplement provided are MUCH too ambiguous label says that 3 caps provides 1800 mg of organic turmeric (cucurma longa root), and 150 mg of turmeric 95% curcuminoids (cucurma longa root). So what's the difference between these 2 ingredients? And what does it mean, anyway? I read down the entire page, and at the bottom the Product Description notes that "each serving delivers 1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids". But that doesn't explain much. Does that mean that the entire 1950 mg is curcuminoids? Why are the amounts listed sepaerately in the ingredient list? I googled for information about the different ingredients, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Here's what I found: * A page on the NIC (official US government site) notes that "curcumin is a major component of turmeric, and the activities of turmeric are commonly attributed to curcuminoids (curcumin and closely related substances)". * Another NIC page, noted "In Curcuma longa, crude extract curcuminoid makes up 1–6% of turmeric by weight, distributed in 60–70% curcumin...whereas commercially available curcumin contains about 77% in curcuminoids." * On a page for a vitamin company (not the manufacturer/distributer for this particular product), I read "Curcumin 95 is a botanical extract from turmeric root spice. Curcumin 95 contains 95% curcuminoids." But the label is so confusing. Does that mean that 95% of the entire "1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids" is the amount in 3 caps? Or is it 95% of the 150 mg of the turmeric 95% curcuminoids, listed as an ingredient? And what's a safe amounts to take. The results vary a lot. A page on the Arthritis Foundation site says, "In one small randomized controlled trial, twice daily doses of either 250 or 500 mg of curcumin were compared to placebo. Both doses significantly outperformed placebo on all measures." This site also recommends taking a supplement that includes black pepper (as this does) "for better bioavailability".

Turmeric curcumin & black pepper
These capsules come in a freshness and safety sealed bottle. They’re pretty large, but the vegan cellulose capsules swallow easily with a little water. A serving is 3 capsules, You really smell the black pepper extract and turmeric when you open the bottle. The suggested use is to take them 20-30 minutes before a meal.

This is a good one
I really like these for inflammation reduction. That means a more comfortable, more pain-free body. I feel less achy when using these and that helps me through my day. They don't need to be taken (by me anyway) every day. These generally keep the aches and pains beat back so I have more comfortable movement and feel the effects of getting older noticeably less. They just help me feel generally more healthy.
