JK Rowling hit a Twitter user with an uber-painful burn after he suggested Serena Williams is "built like a man"

JK is not to be trifled with.

SERENA WILLIAMS, QUEEN of Wimbledon, snatched her sixth title yesterday, and wore the trophy around like a hat.

Harry Potter author and Twitter force, JK Rowling, was behind her all the way.

If there is one thing we’ve learned from Twitter, it’s that JK is not to be messed with.

We should have told Rob, really. He went and said this:

ayeahok

As expected, she didn’t let us down with her comeback.

    ‘liquidators intend on paying salaries up until the end of this month’

    Yet the hospital is to stay open until in some form up until the 7/8/9 of Feb?

    Confused by this situation, no guarantee that staff will be paid for working next week?
