I just noticed he has the whole of August off, which either means 'holiday' or, based on the rest of it, 'Edinburgh Fringe'.

A major problem is their core support (and crucially local grassroots organisers) which is about the same audience as for local newspapers, and is definitely not growing and with a rosy future.

That, although I based on that poll I have high hopes for Reform getting that 27% but spread evenly across the country and winning about 50 seats with it (which is roughly what happened to the Alliance in 1987).

That's the one - mixing up the show hosts.

That said, following on from the Fawlty stuff last week, Ted and Dougal are on a short list of sitcom characters to have appeared in other things entirely (a Jack Charlton tribute on Gay Byrne's 'Late Late Show').

One of the longest lists of minor characters who would have deserved their own spin-offs (and didn't get them, and I'm guessing now probably won't).

For additional Blue Peter 70s terror, try 'Lesley Judd lighthouse' on Youtube.

Hands up everyone who launched an actual local newspaper on exactly the same day Facebook was founded? (My CV is quite the journey).

Maybe they're just going through a bad patch, like the Liberals. Or the Whigs.

They're just jealous they got the rubbish Dennis the Menace.

For reference, Millport is on the Isle of Cumbrae.

It was really interesting when the US late night hosts did their podcast and asked 'which other show would you want to be a guest on?' and they all said Norton.

At what point does "I'll make you Prime Minister one day" become a threat?

That as a 'roll of honour' would be a really good (and quick) way to do a front page.

I had high hopes for this when he left Spurs and the Rangers job was open all the way back in June.

They'll have to dig out the 'look back over his Rangers career' quarter page. And there's no way it's internally.

I once again appeal to Nottingham Forest to do the funniest possible thing and set up the greatest day in the history of Super Scoreboard.

Wait, is "Thank you for your attention to this matter" a thing?

A soon-to-be-available Ange Postecoglu to Rangers is exactly what we need and also deserve this international break.

Who would have thought Aberdeen would score at least four every week the rest of the way?

I think doing a speech on a Sunday afternoon when there's lots of sport on and no-one's paying attention is a smart move, assuming she turned down pleas to give a keynote address at 3am Tuesday inside a locked cupboard.

Son is at the #NFLLondon game at Tottenham today, and now I'm intrigued to know whose concert this is being set up in the Google maps view.

I have seen more Police Academy films than Woody Allen films and feel I'm on the right side of history.

The tracksuits give it 'team ready to run out to take part in 1979 heat of It's a Knockout'.
