I like Richard, and I know he is utterly bereft at losing his wife. He has posted on what would have been their 35th anniversary- and whilst I don’t think he is being insincere, it just seems performative and hammy. Everything has to be validated on social media now, even our deepest depths and emotions. It just would not occur to me to do this, or post from a hospital bed. If he wanted to mark the occasion, maybe just post a photo of them both. It’s his grief, his way of dealing with it, but everything seems a damn performance these days.

Simon - not asked my friends that have worked with him on health, but one did say he's not someone you would want to piss off.

As for lyrics - Avenue Q's 'The Internet is for Porn' has quite a few, ahem, lyrics in. I saw Leona Lewis (sat in front of me) when I saw it (not long after she "won" XF). She did turn round to smile after coming in late and was escorted to her seat as the audience wondered who was coming in as getting VIP treatment.

Maybe he's lonely.

Could be career trouble for Laura Whitmore

AJ Adoudou is now the third presenter linked to replacing her on Love Island

Not a good look when there's three names all being touted for your job

And when Spitting Image don't even latex you as part of the sketch spoofing your own programme

there is absolutely no way she is going back, didn’t a similar thing happen to Kate Thornton when she was on X Factor? They were actively recruiting and testing, Kate had no idea and then found out via the newspapers?

I believe it was referenced in the heat diaries?

that said, I would prefer Maya over AJ.

What has Laura done wrong?

I would prefer a blow up doll and an Alexa device over Laura.

I love Something in the Woodshed by them as well.
I'm a HUGE Divine Comedy fan and for anyone loving the lyrics to National Express or Something for the Weekend etc check out:

Lady of a Certain Age &
Charmed Life - which is like a love song to your child and ever since I had my son makes me cry a little bit.

Both are genius. Neil Hannon and Rufus Wainwright for me are just lyrically *chef's kiss*

:)

Neil Hannon will never come up with a better song than 'My lovely Horse'.

What about ‘National Express’ by The Divine Comedy? It’s bloody great from start to finish. 🤣

Take the National Express when your life's in a mess
It'll make you smile
All human life is here
From the feeble old dear to the screaming child
From the student who knows that to have one of those
Would be suicide
To the family man
Manhandling the pram with paternal pride
And everybody sings, "Ba-ba-ba-da"
We're going where the air is free
On the National Express there's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country
And everybody sings, "Ba-ba-ba-da"
We're going where the air is free
Tomorrow belongs to me
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National Express
On the National Express, let's go
I love this song . Can hear it in my head . Divine comedy were great .
