Car star: Lewis Hamilton with Nicole Scherzinger

Why does SoS Theresa have to be so out there?

Monday, 10 September 2012

Everytime I hear the name Theresa Villiers, I can’t help thinking of Ronald Villiers. He’s the really inept, would-be actor character in the hilarious BBC Scotland sketch show, Chewin’ The Fat, which was on television a few years ago.

Restoring old Mick would be work of art

Monday, 27 August 2012

Everyone’s feeling sorry for the Spanish woman who tried to ‘restore’ an ancient fresco of Jesus Christ but ended up creating what an art correspondent described, rather uncharitably I thought, as something that “now resembles a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic”.
