Still not really buying the claim that Claudia has only used gravy granules as fake tan once.

I’m just surprised to learn that Ned Sherrin and Cliff Michelmore were still touring in the first place.

“In the morning, when the sun shines down on your body” and “When night ends and your corpse is illuminated by the last visible star” mean BASICALLY the same thing, right?

Michael Portillo: “I’ll be visiting some of the country’s most beautiful and historic regions…” Me: “Aren’t they all equally historic?” I imagine they call me a “difficult audience”.

I’ll be honest*, I’d hoped this new French Polish dictionary would be a lot more informative on how to get a decent shine on my woodwork. * Clearly I won’t.

Been out in the countryside hoping to see some partridge, grouse, pheasants, woodcocks and the like and didn’t see a single one. Honestly, game’s gone.

So it turns out that if you opt out of emergency alerts, you don’t get them. So, umm. Yeah.

Haven’t seen any triffids so far, which is encouraging.

The Icelandic sagas never mentioned Sköll coughing up the sun like a hairball, did they?

Just for the record, I came up totally blank on tonight’s Only Connect clue that should really have been firmly in my wheelhouse. So that’s cool.

Please don’t for a second take this as an indication that I’m interested, but why didn’t throwing the one ring into the fires of Mount Doom just turn Mount Doom evil?

I don’t mind the projections that hint at England playing Cabo Verde in the round of 32. I have no vexillological superstitions.

So it looks like Austria and Algeria can knock each other out by playing properly, while a Disgrace of Gijon revisited will let both proceed. Lovely stuff.

Everyone claims to enjoy screwball capers, and yet you ask the ice cream man to sprinkle some capers on your screwball and suddenly it’s “there’s no demand for it”.

I can’t believe grumpy Victor Meldrew was so young!
Gru’s plan meme: The first episode of One Foot In The Grave aired in 1990. Richard Wilson was 53 years old at the time. That’s younger than I am now.

That’s younger than I am now.

Difficult to know at this stage which World Cup match I’m most comprehensively going to not watch, but Austria v Jordan at 5:00 on a Wednesday morning is definitely a candidate.

Very much looking forward to this afternoon’s North London-Derby game, and might have a small flutter on Derby.
