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 haveΒ 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!

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.

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.

That thing when they've erected tacky, Beverly Hills-style gates outside your childhood home (that you're visiting for the first time in 28 years), so you have to peep through the bushes like a pervert with a nostalgia fetish...

Dermot Murnaghan: Former Sky News presenter diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer The 67-year-old announced on social media his diagnosis, saying he is "responding positively" to treatment and "feeling well".

Thinking good thoughts for our dear friend and former colleague.

You couldn't hope to find a more-consummate professional or a lovelier guy.

My mother left us 20 years ago today.

Anyone who tells you it gets any easier is lying, but what it does do is give clarity.

What would make her proud? What treatment wouldn't she tolerate? What would she find worthy of mockery? What would she relish?

Embrace those - and you can't go far wrong.

Exactly one year apart.

Coverage of the FA Cup final at Wembley on the TV... while I feel smug about no longer having to deal with 90,000 football fans 20 yards from my doorstep!

No. (Also, you went straight to spam all 32 times.)

To be fair, if I'd been married to Russell Brand, I'd consider that one of the more-desirable outcomes.
