TV comedy writer/producer. Cricket tragic. History, politics, Tottenham Hotspur, jump racing…that sort of thing. And digital media Otto Quangel.
Thinking on his passing last week...my favourite Timothy West role was as Dr Rance in Joe Orton's What The Butler Saw.

"Despite my wife's nymphomaniac tendencies, she's about as difficult to get into as the reading room at the British Museum."

He was simply hilarious.

It’s become a bit of a cliche to compare Starmer to Attlee but reading John Bew’s excellent biography it’s hard not to see how similar their qualities and characteristics.

We keep getting told by farmers that the reduction in IHT relief they get is “the last straw.” Has anyone heard from a farmer what the other straws were?

I have a tenth share in Livin On Luco with Philip Hobbs. Won first time out at Newton Abbot and entered for Exeter on Sunday. It can’t rain enough this week!

It’s the Tilford CC AGM tonight. Important affairs of state to be determined. Who will be Social Secretary? Who will win the contest for Second XI captain? Will there be blood on the steps of the village hall? Beware the Ides of November…
