Told my friends I've taken up running for health reasons but really my main motivation for it was the last time I gave a guy a blowjob I got so out of breath that I had to stop

If it was a resigning offence to suddenly discover WordPress has more bugs than a tramp's vest, there would be no web developers left on the planet.
Honestly, this seems unnecessarily harsh.

The thing I love about the USA is that people can start spreading paranoid fantasies like "dentists are secretly flying rhinoceroses" and within a short time, serious thinkers will tell you that you're not a serious, sober, realistic person if you don't believe that dentists are flying rhinoceroses

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

It's Private Eye at the Criterion tomorrow night. There will be signings of the Private Eye annual, and if you have any merch of mine, I'm happy to sign anything else put in front of my nose. CDs, books etc.

So sad to hear about the loss of the wonderful #SirTomStoppard. One of our best playwrites and screenwriters. A Titan of creative talent, a wit and raconteur.
I was privileged to have the chance to work with him in the West End and above all I found him kind, humble and generous. A great loss.
