Certainly they are my top two, but who is first & who is second remains open.

I must admit that passed me by, but I did spot Penny Morrell - wife of George Cole - doing a very brief yet memorable cameo.

In the audience. Far better than I could ever have imagined. Almost indistinguishable from adult drama. David Jason's brother was a revelation.

Wishing everyone well - but especially all octopuses & other highly intelligent cephalopods - on World Octopus Day! #WorldOctopusDay

Wishing everyone well - but especially all livestock & other animals enslaved for food & other nefarious purposes - on World Farm Animals Day!

Surely "concerned citizens" rather than "right wing demonstrators". You have to tread very very carefully with people as sensitive as the political right in case you offend them & they bring the whole force of the state down upon you.

Yet it is as absurd for the Left to look at humanity & see only good, as it is for the Right to see only evil. We help people in spite of who they are not because of who they are are. Compassion is only compassion if you apply universally, to your enemies as much as to your friends.

There is no need to fall out over this. No need to take against me & consign me to outer darkness. I would conjecture that there is almost certainly more that we agree about than disagree. I may be a pessimist but that does not lead me to deprecate the rights of others.

What we are - & what we think we are - are seldom the same. The human capacity for self deception is limitless. The human psyche is a tumult of incoherence & contradiction. Even the most rational of us struggle to be rational all the time, & there is no royal road to personal or political salvation.
