Don’t google it. Name a British musical act that appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show in September of this year. You will never guess it.

Florence and the machine was my guess, but I think she was probably early October (I have no idea who has been on Kimmel, Just a big fan of Florence)

Just listened to a podcast - an interview with a well known author and academic (in his field at least) and at the end the presenter - also an academic read out a list of donors who had funded the guests ‘speaking fee’. That’s a new one on me.

My last job in my brief stay as adviser to the then shadow Home Secretary was to stay up til gone 1am writing amendments to the absurd bill which brought in Police and Crime Commissioners. All of which work a colleague then got the full benefit of after the reshuffle. I won’t miss them.

There’s a coffee shop near my office that offers a ‘mild’ coffee option, a ‘bold’ but charges £1 extra for the ‘balanced’ option no matter what it is. This is what polarisation looks like.

That Lloyds bank ad which estimates your age…. Yesterday it got me about right. Today, I’ve had a shave and done my hair. It’s knocked 10
