I don't know which piece of news shocked me more this morning as my butler set down my breakfast smoked salmon and Earl Grey tea (for GM!): that Vanessa Feltz has caught a cold, or to learn that she is a "much loved star"...

How the heck does she get work?


I met via work and she is another 'celeb' with anger issues and memory issues. She walks around like she owned the establishment.

I am glad you have smoked salmon like a hoity-toity son of a gun. However did you catch it yourself or did you pay some peasant to do it ?

An Aldi peasant, most probably

One day I will get to your cabin in the wilderness GM and you can teach me to catch salmon with my teeth...

First you play Marillion.

Speaking of Earl Grey tea.. I met a lovely man once .. Sir Laurence Street who was a former AG of NSW.

I never met his mother though, Lady Jessie Street who was dubbed "Red Jessie" as a feminist who promoted the idea the West should maintain good relations with Russia (USSR). Way ahead of her time.

Jessie was a direct descendant of General Charles Grey, Ist Baron Grey, known as Earl Grey who the tea is named after.

I used to like Earl Grey. Got me going every morning along with Kenny Everett (on radio) when I worked in the Kings Road... but have gone off it over the years..tastes a bit flowery.

fascinating. Thought you would like to know that tidbit.

Are you now working for Marillion GM?! Or have you had a week of playing those first 4 great albums on loop and gone a bit funny...?

(PS - the latest - and last we are told - Fish album is a stone cold classic...)

I can't help thinking that if NATO had listened more to Jessie and not poked the Russian bear for decades, and Putin drank more (heavenly and calming) Earl Grey tea the world would today be a happier place.

What a delightfully Whiggish tale, my dear Hedda. The sound of which teases my brain - and posssibly my hair - to summon up the tart memory, from the late Sixties, of when I opened the door of Binkie Beaumont's office only to find Hedda, reporter's notebook and Biro pen still clenched in his moistened hand, standing open-mouthed, while Binkie hid under a desk and Long John Baldry lay on the shag-pile carpet completely saturated with lapsang souchong. It still makes me cringe with embarrassment that, out of shock and inexperience, I found myself, wide-eyed and legless (as good old Andrew would, eventually, manage to sing), reacting by breaking into an unsteady rendition of 'Let the Heartaches Begin'. It was as if time stood still.

But back to business, as that somewhat Hobbesian of wasps Wyot would no doubt say - nay, demand.

So: Vanessa Feltz. Not so much a name, more a grammatically-confused description. Have you noticed that her eyes narrow and her nose points upwards, as if to suggest: 'I smell common people?' Very revealing. When she was deep into her deluded 'I've lost lots of weight' fantasy a few years ago, when, ludicrously, she kept insisting she was down to a size 12 (what was that in dear - dinner plates?), her wardrobe 'people' in TV had to sew that size label into her still carnival tent-like dressses in order to keep her happy (and mad, quite, quite, mad). Not very bright, in spite of her claims to the contrary (to think she hails from JK's alma mater!), and very unpleasant.
