Sorry for yesterday’s lack of postage; I was working in Henley until half 7 then didn’t get tea until 9 and as a consequence was exhausted. I saw some of Mad About Alice in the evening. Hmmm. As a general rule: TV Show + Amanda Holden = I can cope. But, really, no. Jonathan Ross described it as the first thing churned out by the infinite monkeys. I think I managed to stand 7 minutes before switching over to Friends. As an example of the calibre of the writing, I present you with the following gem:

Woman 1: I just want something [a relationship] that’s short and happy!
Woman 2: Well, date Bilbo Baggins!

Mere moments passed before my fingers were feverishly stabbing the channel-up button.
