Headlines like this utterly infuriate me.

The gist is essentially: "How dare a public figure not be living up to the public's judgemental expectations at all times?"

At its worst, it's what makes weirdos dream up ideas like... *checks notes*... KIDNAPPING HOLLY WILLOUGHBY!

Just gross.

Dear PR agency,

You do not get to e-mail me an "OPERATIONAL NOTE" - my bosses do - and you are not them.

It's called a press release. Get over yourselves.

Something called "Black Country Live" brings us two bits of Earth-shattering news...

1. There's a news programme on ITV called "Good Morning Brain".

2. Apparently, it's news that a news programme went to an item in their running order.

(Appalling, merit-free clickbait)

Sky News coverage to be featured on MSNBC as part of commercial agreement Sky News strikes a deal with MSNBC to expand the reach of its journalism to the US.

Pleased to hear U.S. viewers will soon be seeing a lot more @news.sky.com content on @msnbc.com (or MS NOW, as it will soon be known).

I'm not sure "We're awesome. You suck." is the masterful diplomatic gambit Trump thinks it is.

If Biden gave a speech this rambling, self-congratulatory and nonsensical to the U.N., Fox News would (rightly) call for him to be taken away by men in white coats.

Colleague in her 20s: "Should we blur Madonna's boobs on the front of the Star?"

Me: "Hmmm... it's... Borderline!"

[deafening silence]

Just seen a van with a website address that reads i-wash-it-me.

Never went hyphens more-needed.

Apparently, all the anaesthetic machines in this hospital have names. Mine were called Sybil and Basil.

I asked if that meant they were Fawlty.

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

Tomorrow, I'm going into hospital for a double endoscopy and cystoscopy. (Trust me... DON'T Google it! 😂)

There's nothing to worry about until or unless there's something to worry about, but that's why we're checking.

That said, please think good thoughts.

The Charlie Kirk video.

Don't watch it. Don't share it.

Channels airing it unexpurgated should be ashamed.

Is it just me, or has tomorrow's Metro made Vernon Kay look like Melvyn Bragg?!

Just seen a man so posh, he pronounced it "hwheel-CHAIR".

I feel like a peas-ANT.

Well, that answers that question.

HEADLINE: "Putin might not want a deal with Ukraine, says Trump"

Does one need to sit in a room with Putin -:or even talk to him - to understand that?

PLEASE SHARE THIS JOB AD!

Which bit?!

Your mistress?

This is silly.

Why would - or should - Colbert want to be a member of a club that doesn't want him - and that he will likely feel wants to constrain his ability to perform as he pleases?

Surgeon charged with buying 'Eunuch Maker' videos and fraud over removal of own legs Neil Hopper, 49, is alleged to have dishonestly made a false representation to insurers claiming that his leg injuries were the "result of sepsis and were not self-inflicted".

Gotta love a man who amputated his own legs for creepy reasons being called Neil HOPPER.

YouTube video by Max Preston Max Preston: "Today in Parliament" - BBC Radio 4 (2010)

Fifteen years ago today, I made my debut as a reporter on Radio 4.

I say "debut"... they've not invited me to do it again since.

Probably wise!

Recruiting a new assistant.

I'll give them points for conciseness.

Again, let's please keep any discussion on this to the theory of my question - not Wallace himself. That way madness and legal pitfalls lie.

Without getting into specific allegations...

Are any other neurodivergent people really uncomfortable with Gregg Wallace citing his neurodivergence as - let's be generous - an alibi for his behaviour?

Just because I can misread a moment doesn't excuse me from accountability.

I was under the impression she had married... y'know... a man.

Permit me to editorialise...

Rubbish. And insulting rubbish at that.

If (until this week) it was imperative to get the changes through, why - now - claim the U-turn is on "moral" grounds?

Or was the "imperative" to save the PM's leadership?

An insult to disabled people like me.
