Lovely combination of Barnack rag, Wellingborough ironstone, and render.

An SSM has far less time. It's necessary to fit a prayer life in around a proper job - you're not paid to pray. So you need to fit in eg Bible reading, Morning Prayer, around train journeys, commuting, lunchtimes.

not at all. Not like Trump would help us defend against Russia anyway.

Came for the racism. Retained the knowledge that a Single European Market is a good thing to belong to.

If you can find a true Genesis fan who doesn't know the whole 20-odd minutes of Supper's Ready, they're not a real Genesis fan.

Very excited not to be paying inheritance tax on the family home. What with not paying any inheritance tax on it anyway. I'm sure Charles Spencer's family will be grateful.

I got the first Charles III RAF cremation plaque in the churchyard. It's 3" longer and wider than QE2's as the logo is so deep and detailed.

By chance, played bridge today with a Cantab athletics blue. Who told me that when Jeffrey Archer was beaten in the 100m, everyone cheered. Reminded me of Ian Hislop's story about when Archer was hit on the head by a discus while running.

I've learned how to cook Breton Galette pancakes. Buckwheat is high in fibre. And you can put cheese (and beans) in them.

Local canoe operation has an ad out and I'll be honest, I'm worried about the inhabitants of Peterborough south of the Nen.
Close up of an obviously AI image. It's a man (with one tooth) in a canoe. He has two children with him. They have two oars between them and don't appear to be holding any of them. They have unnatural eyes.

I had this bit about Jeffrey Archer from the 1995 HIGNFY video memorised for whenever I needed a handy fact about him.

I relentless insist all "pagan survivals" are Victorian or later re-inventions. But we've got Halloween followed by "Christmas is really pagan" to look forward to.

All publicity is good publicity. Though I suspect he died waiting for Giles Brandreth to stop talking about himself.

Just de-Trumpifying would be unambitious. I'd be naming landfill sites, radioactive waste dumps and awkward-to-negotiate roundabouts after him.

Brandreth joins Truss and Vance in the pantheon of people you don't want to meet when you're feeling a bit nesh.
