It's one of my favourite films, ever. Olivia Hussey was perfectly cast as a husky, breathless Juliet. Pat Heywood as the nurse was comically superb, and John McEnery's Queen Mab monologue was cinematic gold.

As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.

There's an argument for scrapping the £100K salary limit for childcare but saying those on £100K salaries are uniquely hard working is bollocks. Workers on the early bus on their way to cleaning, caring, hospitality jobs work just as hard. Tories believe wealth is acquired by virtue. It ain't.

The wondrously talented DANNY KAYE conducting the audience at the London Palladium in 1948. He could fly any civilian plane on the planet, became the world's most revered non-Asian Chinese Chef & had no formal singing or dance training. A pretty extraordinary human being.
