Complete fiction.

No. "Five thousand votes is a comfortable majority", not "five thousand votes are a comfortable majority".

I earned decent pay as a journalist, and I get a good pension now. I'm not at all sure that I could have made lots more money in another profession.

I didn't become a journalist because I didn't value money! I like money as much as everyone else.

His driver.

Hasn't the adjustment made it slightly closer to the Vichy slogan? Vichy didn't mention tradition.

"Intersex" people are almost all unequivocally male or female. Their differences of sexual development don't change that.

But almost all of the people with those variations are nevertheless unequivocally male or female. Each variation affects either male people or female people.

It's a daft slogan if that's what you mean by it.

The outcome of the Munich conference was terrible. But Chamberlain was right to go to it. He should have told Hitler "If you attack Czechoslovakia, it will mean war" - as he later did re Poland.

I do!

"Sulfur (American spelling and the preferred IUPAC name) or sulphur (Commonwealth spelling) is a chemical element"

And here we are in the Commonwealth!

That is magnificent.

Singing along to gangsta rap songs? That makes it sound as if you were doing it beside the camp fire while your scout master strummed his guitar.

I knew Rupert Everett a little bit at school. He was not someone who'd go unnoticed. He played Elvira in Blithe Spirit (it was an all boys school in those days), and acted everyone else out of sight.

It's a staple in Scrabble.

Are you accusing the BBC of giving too LITTLE coverage to Reform policy announcements?

I bet only on outcomes that I don't want, so that if Manchester United win a match or Mr Trump wins an election, I can think: "Well, at least I've won some money." It's insurance against the cruelty of fate.

Are you a cardinal?

I would, except for my policy of betting only on things that I don't want to happen, as insurance against the cruelty of fate. Hence my bet on Reform to win.

Because, of course, English spelling is entirely logical.

Surely "race science".

Warburton's Toastie thick sliced white bread - but only when it's very fresh.

Only the oldest of us. I've been getting my state pension for two and a half years, and I was born long after the war. And to the extent that it dominated my early life, it was a picture comic version of the war - not the true horrors of it.

I don't think Oasis's place in music needs to be diminished. I think it's very small, and Syed here grossly exaggerates it.

Which sounds also like it's not a "reimagining of British pop music".

(I'm not comparing them to the Beatles - I'm saying they recycled the Beatles.)

No eggs in digestive biscuits.

I was a friend of Michael Gove 1989-90 - he was a lovely man (we were both on strike at a newspaper in Aberdeen). Becoming a politician does bad things to a person.

Whereas the young folk have no trouble at all with their mental health...
