I always find it weird when someone replies to my message or email to say that they don’t know what a word I’ve just used - say ‘obviate’ - means. Surely looking it up in a dictionary is quicker than (and obviates the need for) sending me a query?

The great Claude Rains was born on this day in 1889. Here's my portrait of him as Sir John Talbot in The Wolf Man (1941).

It’s ironic to resign over editing a bunch of lies to reflect the truth.

Currently watching old episodes of The Dick Cavett Show. I’m fascinated by how absolutely hopeless he is as an interviewer. He makes Jerry Hall look polished. I mean all power to his elbow and that, but how on earth did he get the job?

Now we know where all that Spotify money is going. Not to the artists - perish the thought. No, the CEO has invested it all in AI weaponry designed to kill humans. I wish this were a joke.

Free power? How awful. Thankfully, the UK understands how harmful to billionaires all this eco nonsense is - hence why the government is dedicated to removing the laws protecting natural habitats and to building on greenfield sites. Dead birds can’t crap on your Maserati.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

When the world feels grim, I remind myself that I’ve lived through the time of Alan Bennett, David Attenborough, Carl Sagan, Oliver Postgate, ABBA, the Goodies, Kate Bush, I Claudius, Doctor Who, David Bowie and sun-dried tomatoes, and I think good god, we’re the luckiest generation in history.

I watched A View To A Kill last night and was delighted to find that Roger Moore’s very last utterance in the role of James Bond is a Frankie Howerd-style ‘ooh’ implying he’s discovered the person he’s kissing has three breasts, a penis and the address of a Greek restaurant tattooed on her buttock.

Can I ask you something? I’m wondering about selling raffle tickets on my website, with the prize being one of my paintings.
So:
(a) Would you be tempted to enter?
(b) How much would you think would be a reasonable price for a raffle ticket?
(c) Would you want to win the original art or a print?

If only the UK would follow suit. Sadly, our creative industries are seen as something to exploit rather than to value. No funding, no protection.

Another titan leaves us. Farewell to the great Prunella Scales. A powerhouse of an actress, she dominated stage & screen alike: A Room With A View, Fawlty Towers, A Question of Attribution (I saw her in this at the National - amazing) and my personal favourite: Mapp & Lucia. Thanks for all the joy.
