Private Eye's Street iof Shame pages are quite an eye opener (as if I hadn't already a low opinion of journalists and those whose bidding they do......).

Oh that's fascinating. I didn't know that, it now all makes sense. Thanks!

His column was so bad I started to wonder whether he was doing it on purpose as some kind of performance art. He's the worst but there are many others who vie for the top spot, and even run him close occasionally.

The Guardian makes me shake my head more than any other newspaper, particularly the columnists. The other day someone devoted a column to the fact that she sweats a lot. And as for Adrian Chiles....I can't believe he gets paid for those Pooteresque drivellings.

BTL comments on Adrian Chiles' pieces often say the same thing. However, at least they aren't going to be the cause of riots as a result of rabble rousing misinformation...
And they don't exclude the more worthwhile writing in the rest of the paper either, so I don't fret too much about it.

I'm sure Solomon Howard is duly grateful that his mighty thews have received due acknowledgement. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I know others don't share my opinion - and that's one of the joys of concert going - but it was one of the more memorable concerts I have been to.

For Soloman Howard, it turns out that this Prom was not only (a) his first Prom and (b) his first time at the Royal Albert Hall, but it was also (c) his first Verdi Requiem as a soloist, as he mentioned in this Instagram video.
