    More to do with being 81 and enjoying his retirement?

    That takes me back to the 1970s when she was on ITV out of Plymouth (I believe) and ran a regular birthday TV shout-out for local schoolchildren, featuring one bouncing but mute Gus Honeybun rabbit character. I remember one time she'd clearly had several G&Ts too many and appeared completely bladdered - it was hilarious. I wonder if it's on YouTube...

    And I'd like to see Simon Amstell on more shows.

    Yup.

    I was making my way down Regent Street (the main thoroughfare in the town centre) and Taylor senior and junior were walking in the opposite direction. As our game of chicken commenced, a gust caught my bag of games and missed junior's fizzog by about half an inch.

    I really wasn't made for this century. I struggle with that sometimes, but lately I'm trying to see it as a positive.
    You don't need to play by anyone's rules but your own.

    Oh yes, that's right, Llay. That's where I usually stay when I'm visiting my mum's family.

    I don't really understand capitalist culture, I suppose. Or gulf culture. Or golf culture. Or misogyny culture.

    I once nearly whacked Dennis Taylor's son in the face with a shopping bag full of old Nintendo games. In my defence m'lud, it was a very windy day.

    Apparently The Wall is going to be BBC1's big Saturday prime time thingy, starting tomorrow, Which I suppose saves on taxi fares for non-driver Nick Knowles.

    Dunno but I saw a trailer for a show he's going to be doing called The Wall, which I think is not related to the "Bring on THE WALL" thing with the swimming pool from whenever it was.

    His Who Do You Think You Are? was one of the better episodes this series, too.

    Stupid twat he may have been, but Boardman 'did' have a career prior to Atkinson's patronage.

    (Mainly involving his relentless telling of that 'Fokker' joke on chat shows.)
    Boardman was also a decent footballer in his younger days. Turned out for Northwich Victoria in the Northern Premier League in the days when that was just one step
    below the Football League.

    I mean, she's just had a new series. She's not disappeared, but she's only on Sky these days it seems. Her podcast has just started a new season too.
