Local time 0910.
I’ll do a fuller update later on the journey, etc, but I couldn’t *not* mention that the hotel is near to where Liza Minelli is appearing in concert from this evening, and heading back to the hotel after a quick drink last night, we walked right past Liza-with-a-Z, standing chatting to someone before […]

“Sitting like a mindless clone, wishing he would tap my phone
Just to hear the breath of the man, the myth, the monotone.”
Last night, in preparation for the trip, I was playing a bunch of the albums that I bought while I was living in New York, so the Foo Fighters made a major appearance, and […]

Important Notice
Since I’ve been very diligent and been in the office since 7.40 this morning, I actually do have a moment to make one very important comment. I have set the tape for tomorrow night’s Big Brother fun (still time to vote for Jade….), and of course I can check the Big Brother website […]

This is turning into a TV blog:
With a typical lack of fanfare, Channel 4 start a new series of one of their best series tonight: Previously-mentioned here, Oz is an American prison drama unlike any other US TV series I’ve ever seen.
C4 are also trailing another series from the same source, HBO, at the […]

Graham Norton just threw a gratuitious dig at Jade into his opening monologue:
“150,000 applicants….and Jade got through. How did that happen? If it wasn’t cruel to kick a pig, you would, wouldn’t you?”
He went on to paint a less-than flattering picture of Spencer:
