I’ve just sent this to the person who sources sunglasses for CBeebies magazine’s free gifts. Consider us on it.

Her daughters are still in fine fettle - both with our extended family.

She had had such a rough time before us, but was fairly young then. Think she came to you in the summer of 2012? I remember crying ludicrously as you left with her! I also remember lying on our bed with her the night she came, promising her she’d never have to have any more babies.

My family lost someone very precious in early May a few years ago, and I remember feeling offended by the blossom and warm weather when we were so sad. Now it reminds me of her.

We adore him. The little speeches leave my kids caught between outrage and hilarity.

According to ChatGPT, I've won the Booker twice. TWICE! I've never written a book, so it's very pleasing to know I'd be so good at it.

I was beginning to worry about his mental health - whatever else is happening, being in a workplace where you’re subjected to isolation by your manager is unacceptable and hugely destructive. I wish him enormous success at AV, though I wish it had been with Utd.

Your postbox is just like mine. The Phoenix on Thu, The Beano on Fri, The Week Junior on Sat. (I work for a print magazine business, but not any of the above). My kids are rarely without a magazine and I credit The Beano being delivered during lockdown with my son's enormous love of reading.

I agree (media lawyer). I bet those words went back and forth with various alternatives cast aside in the negotiating draft. “Working for / working with / instructed by / paid by” etc.

And young men with few friends who had a bright idea 20-30 years ago weren’t necessarily best suited to manage huge corporations.

I’d love to know why they thought it suspicious (as someone who parks in central London quite a bit and likes her shabby old car intact).

Thank you for all you are and do, Jess: it’s appreciated so much.

Matthew Perry was very good on The West Wing.

Agreed, but wanted to note that Matthew Perry dropped straight into an exceptional ensemble cast on The West Wing and held his own with Allison Janney and Martin Sheen. Probably whilst quite unwell.

They have nothing but illogical theories at the moment. Do better, Faithful!

Didn’t she cover “The Perfect Year” from Sunset Boulevard (maybe as a double A side) too? That’s the quintessential NYE track.

This is a very British take on the opening verse of All Too Well.

They narrowed the eligibility criteria for Covid vaccs this year. Lovely bit of joined up thinking.

Leaving the Taylor Swift concert at @wembleystadium.bsky.social, the stewards played Dancing Queen to the crowds waiting for the tube. Not any of TS's own empowering music that's beloved by girls and women, but "you're a teaser, you turn 'em on". I know it's thought of as a classic, but urgh.

I have no insider information but would imagine that Chris’ public vote is far beyond anyone else’s.
