The amount of environmental damage done by a plane flying remains exactly the same whether you’re on it or not. It’s not enough to merely abstain from flying, you need to prevent as many planes from taking off as […]

It seems that was Sam Mendes’ sort of intention, @mikethep. In this interview he natters on about wanting to take the movie from the realism of the first two-thirds into something more like a hallucination, more […]

‘Fraid not. But if it’s any consolation, I really, really wish you did.

No. But you win a dog for trying. Please arrange collection.

One top quality tupperware fingerbowl on its way to Langedoc.

So, so close. But no. And while I’m here, I’ve just noticed a bit of a giveaway blunder I made earlier. Walked straight into a bear trap. So the prize isn’t whatever I said it was, it’s now a different book […]

“I put a disc on to his hi−fi, my choice being Billie H., who sends me even more than Ella does, but only when, as now, I’m tired, and also, what with seeing Suze again, and working hard with my Rolleiflex and t […]

I think in a sense we all are.

Are you a midwife?

It’s vile isn’t it? I used it a lot to follow Brexit and found it extremely useful for news and commentary, but now that heady phase of daily political shitstorm is over it just seems full of hatred and insults […]

I thought they always had one token non-politico celeb (comedian or pop star or actor etc) on QT.

I’ve seen people on Twitter calling him a proven racist who should never be offered another part. Seems a total over-reaction to me. Not only that, but it smacks of McCarthy-ism and feeds into the hands of the […]

Yeah, he did. But I don’t think that justifies some of the abuse he’s received though. He claimed that the vilification of Meghan Markle in the press wasn’t racially motivated. (I don’t know if that’s true or not. […]

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the film. As mentioned above, I found the cinematography utterly captivating and brilliant. But take away that gobsmaking bravura and the story itself really wasn’t much cop and in […]
