When I heard there was now a free bar on some BA flights, I was pretty excited.
Little did I realise it was a chocolate one in lieu of a second meal...

I was surprised to hear about Steve Redgrave walking off set after a row with
John Inverdale. I thought he had stopped rowing years ago...

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
