Just remember: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Although comparatively speaking I think I’d prefer it at the moment.

I would like to live in precedented times. You know, where the things that keep happening aren’t weird, gobsmacking and terrifying.

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day.
"Where there any other contenders?"
"Um, no?"
"A hollow victory, then".

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

Andy Serkis has titled his forthcoming memoir "My Pressures" which puts him streets ahead of the competition for "dad joke of the year" if nothing else. Wonderful.

I bought quite a few books from Jonathan through knowing him on Twitter, even though the shop's the other side of London. I hope they manage to keep going. You can support them here too.

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

Naught but a leap to the left
And thanne a clockwyse tread;
Put thyne handes on thyne hippes,
And be thy knees yn-gatheréd:
Lo, it ys the pelvique thruste
That maketh mirthe down to rayne -
Let us do the Tyme Warpe agayne!
