Victoria Coren,
I don’t drink much. I wouldn’t care if I never drank again. I find drunk people annoying and dull. And they decrease my life expectancy, if only statistically. If alcohol were banned from public places tomorrow, it would be pure gain for me. But I don’t want alcohol banned, because I don’t think my personal gain is more important than civil liberty.
My life would also be better if we banned iPhones, small dogs, insurance adverts, boring conversations, the unexpected addition of chopped peppers to tuna sandwiches, “funny” T-shirts, that weird dusty stuff they put inside Jiffy bags that goes all over you if you open them the wrong way, teabags served next to a cup of hot water when you’ve paid £2 for a “cup of tea”, short people carrying umbrellas at lethal eye-height, Top Gear, unnecessarily large paperbacks that won’t fit in a pocket, spitting, being copied into EVERY SINGLE REPLY to a mass email from an indiscriminate friend, skateboarding and coriander.
But actually, my life wouldn’t be better, because I’d have swapped a series of regular annoyances for massive state repression.
You might say those things won’t kill me. But you’ve never monitored my blood pressure while watching Top Gear. Anyway, me smoking outside Giraffe won’t kill you either.Posted 1 year ago # -
Billybob and Partypants, I couldn't agree more.

That picture of Gertrude Stein looks remarkably like Jonanthan Price if he were playing Caeser. Laurel wreath is missing though.

Dunno, she sounds pretty levelheaded (and funny) to me.Posted 1 year ago # -
Don't know much about her, but I don't think she likes mothers much either.

A bit before my time, but Joyce Grenfell.

I'm 80% sure that I went to the same primary school as Dr Alice Roberts.. In fact I was good mates with her older brother..
there's a small chance that it might have been a different Alice Roberts though...

Mr Nice - Howard Marks. Whatever your views on him, he's very articulate, I'd imagine pretty intelligent and he tells a damn good story....

What a pretty plant mr marks is holding.....

I don't think I could be held responsible for my actions if I was forced into a locked room with Germaine Greer.
She ought to come on here for a chat - that would be interesting.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I like her, even if her views are a little old fashioned now.

I don't think I could be held responsible for my actions if I was forced into a locked room with Germaine Greer.I never found her that attractive personally.
Posted 1 year ago # -
She irks me, as do
mostall feminists.A broad generalisation I know, but I'll take back my earlier comments about what I'd do to her in a locked room - I just know she'd piss me off though.
I'd wager she wouldn't like me very much either and on a level of articulation, would probably tie me in knots. Best we don't meet eh?
