We are not drunks, we are multi-millionaires!

‘Black puddings are no good to us. I want something's FLESH!’

Very much so. Fair dabbed an eye after the Hartley Hare story.

Lovely tribute to to the world’s greatest pub landlord. Up there with Amos Brearly.

And me. Perfection.

They’ve cancelled Poker Face!? The fuck?!

I’ve never had the pleasure, which leaves me miffed. I know a few people who’ve worked for him and their praise was unanimous. Clearly one of the good ones.

Hope you enjoyed Rick Stein. Just remember to let him out of the boot every other day and feed him Bouillabaisse if he gets crotchety.

Pretty engrossed. Or possibly terrified. Hopefully he’ll listen to it as nature intended - through a massive pair of 1970s ear-enveloping headphones.

Will be taping it tomorrow because I still say ‘taping.’ Can’t wait. Introduced my son - who shares Burton’s birthday - to The War of The Worlds in the car today. A gift that will hopefully keep giving.

Interesting looking doc on the Beeb on Wednesday night too….

Just saw it for the first time. Handsomely done. Pretty good as far as biopics go, albeit a touch generic. Toby Jones is tremendous. The lad playing Rich does well with an impossible task.

I really don’t mind either of Dalton’s Bonds. Their 80sness is a hindrance so I agree, a Dalton GoldenEye would have been great. They tend to find their feet in the third one so it’s a cruelty that he never got to find his.

I’m superimposing Barber’s Adagio For Strings over my image of that.

Make him something nice for the journey. Tuna baguette or similar. And some crisps. I think he’ll appreciate the break from the rigmarole.
