Okay, fine, sorry. I got that one wrong. Rude, disrespectful, silly. I apologise.

- You go ahead and boycott whatever you want to for whatever reasons you think make it right. This is a free country after all. Meanwhile, I’ve reviewed an Israeli restaurant. Israeli food, Israeli culture, Israeli owned. And it was marvellous. thetimes.com/article/1456f7…
- Watching the Pope lying in state in St Peter’s, waiting for Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to barge the queue…
- This happened early on Saturday morning... it doesn’t change anything that is wrong with the world this week but it’s making my children very happy.
- This guy’s incredible. It’s Shakespearean.
- Punctuation lessons?Whats next?
- The Jag ad, the Guardian, accusations that GCSEs are ‘too middle class’… ordinary people in Britain with decent values are being insulted by the same craven lefty Kamala Harrisite shit that gifted America to Donald Trump. We CANNOT let that happen here.
- Oh No. Tim Brooke-Taylor. He lived round the corner and his son Ben was my friend. I’m one of the few people who ever saw Tim angry, when we hid behind sofas and used his books as hand grenades. He was livid. Then we turned on the telly and watched West Ham win the cup. 1980. 😢
- Poor John Torode. When they came for his mate Gregg, he tried to save his career by saying “he was never my mate, I always knew he was a wrong ‘un, they just made me work with him”. But they fucked him anyway. Good old BBC: bringing the best out of people for 100 years.
- Jan Leeming is IN! Whole text here if you wanna dodge the paywall. Worth a read. I’m completely right about everything. And if I’m wrong, I am charmingly wrong.You are speaking for millions & get away with it @gilescoren TG Please may I join you in shouting the expletive over and over again. My followers might be shocked but that’s how I feel. As always you’ve totally hit the nail on the head. Will we ever return to sane world?😡
- Replying to @MavenofHonorWaiting for the loo on a Virgin Atlantic flight to LA, Pamela Anderson appeared behind me. When the cubicle came free, I said, “after you” and she said “thanks, what a gentleman!” Truth was I knew I was going to do a massive shit and didn’t want her to walk in and know it was me.
- New series of Amazing Hotels starts Thursday, Feb 11, 9pm on BBC2 in ST LUCIA! I especially look forward to all the complaints that we’re abroad, not distancing, unmasked... and not being arsed to reply that, what with one thing another this show was filmed in December 2019.
