Not sure which is the more stylish vehicle accessory: the sparkly radiator grille painted onto the front of new electric cars or that little tiger tail we used to attach to the backs of our bikes in the sixties

Quartet in Autumn at the Arcola. Exquisite perfs, exemplary production. Rave reviews tho' one accused it of occasionally 'straining for laughs'. Zero straining when I went. Why do so many critics have a problem with laughs - like the grumpy guest tutting at the end of the table?

Fun fact: These were the main original voices from the Soviet-Russian cartoon Well, Just You Wait! (Ну, погоди!). The cartoon was very popular in Poland as well.
Anatoli Papanov was the original voice of the Wolf, and Klara Rumyanova originally voiced the Hare:

"The 20 UK 'no-go' beaches for swimming this spring revealed - with contaminated waters, sewage and dump waste polluting the sea."
Truly what have we become as a nation when every spring newspapers are having to publish 20 beaches to avoid lists? 🤬

SNL really hitting its stride. Welcome back, rude sketches with dodgy sets. It's been far too long.

Thank you, Daily Telegraph. Normally I'm a sucker for unnecessary tools but I think I can manage without this one

Enjoyed the first Saturday Night Live, but not as much as I enjoyed Justin Edwards' & Dan Tetsell's 60min sketch show at the Canal Cafe last week - more laughs created by 9 fewer actors, 18 fewer writers & 20 fewer producers.

Luxury living for the over-65s. May I trouble you for a cheese scone and another peep at the autopsy report

Nonsense to say that Chalamet's disparaging comments about ballet and opera harmed his Oscar chances. It's how plenty of commercial producers talk.

I notice an increase in the number of wispy little moustaches on upper lips after the success of 'Marty Supreme'. Tempted to say, 'Mate, it looks terrible even on Timothee Chalamet who is several stones lighter than you and doesn't have acne.'

Howdy little 'uns! Hurrah for the start of a new season! Which of these smashers will you be spending your pocket money on? Or will you just spunk it on weed pens and borrow someone else's bat?

Important consultation here about the future of the BBC - deadline tomorrow. You don't need to read the Green Paper; the questions are straightforward. It took me about 20 minutes but I wrote A LOT.

As one gets older the Conan Doyle pixie pics story seems to come round more frequently. Probably just an illusion

Why has the Met Office app stopped showing a long-range forecast? Is it a misguided act of mercy or just cost-cutting?

When I was at school the Lord of the Flies film (and book) was rather rammed down our throats. This new version is so much more enjoyable, with David McKenna giving one of the perfs of the year as Piggy.
