I disagree. I now predict Boris to get most first preferences, but Ken to SQUEAK home on second preferences. What's more, I think the Tories will do very well in the London Assembly elections -- and possibly get a majority on the Assembly. Which means Mayor Ken won't really have a mandate, and...

"The teams are going to perform mimes now in the round called sound charades. This is based on the old TV favourite Give Us a Clue in which the players had to mime the titles of books or films. It was conducted in silence, the performances were excellent, and the audiences were delighted. The...

I've got a pair of Next trousers, which I bought in a hurry. They're OK. Their other stuff is so bloody boring, though, and looks cheap even though it isn't. Now Uniqlo, on the other hand, is bloody great. Three t-shirts for £9. Sweatshoptastic.

Yes, yes you can. That, m'boy, is why life is such a cruel mistress.

I simply ask them, in English, if they'd like to go out on a date. TRIED and TESTED.

He's been RAKING in the profits at the end of Havelock Road since I was a small boy. I'd be DELIGHTED to wear a shirt carrying the name of a Brighton LEGEND.

I think I used to have a STOOL called JOBBY.

Why not start getting the train? Change at Clapham Junction for Kensington Olympia or Shepherd's Bush (when it opens in October)

I have seven words of warning for you all. Saved By The Bell: The New Class

I am not certain that any of my colleagues are raving gak fiends -- but then I do work in a quite boring bit of the Beeb. I don't think you'd find any more drugs habits here than you would in another organisation employing predominantly young middle class people.
