2. Gill's bright as fück. If his mind can justify it to himself, then fine.

But totally agree with Celeb deaths. Even Bowie, I only listened to stoned at uni before I got into raving.

Now I don't have his telly review to turn to 1st thing on a Sunday and the Restaurant one after I've read the non-fiction book reviews.

It's horrible, really, really horrible. The baboon shÃ*t. I walked straight through a baboon toilet area in the Mara once and that stuff niffed and clung to a quite ridiculous degree. I felt quite sorry for my room boy that evening.

I hadn't watched or listened to anything Wogan had done for yonks, but as I think I explained before, I find it extremely jarring every time I recall he's not still knocking about. Odd, really.

Prince and Bowie were chaps whose worked I've enjoyed (loved in the case of Prince), but who hadn't done anything I cared about for ages, so their deaths were really only of passing interest.

Look, the Times going tabloid pissed me off, cos it made it bigger. (I always folded the broadsheet into 1/4 when I needed space - prob cos I should wear glasses but can't be arsed to so it's easier to bring close to your face.)

But Peter Brookes's cartoon. Best of ant paper by far. A C20th/21st Hogarth or Gillray.

And they publish my letters in both formats so I don't give a fück.
