Fancy dress for pets.... I hate to see dogs or cats kitted up in fancy dress, so they can be laughed at. Dignity for dogs!  |

ARENA I'm with you on that. Animals don't need clothes.

My mother used to write to greeting card companies that made cards with dressed-up animals on them. (To tell them they were bad, and they should feel bad, I mean.)

My candidate for room 101 would be the parents of children who think it is acceptable for girls of about 8 to go out with full makeup on.

My next candidate will be celebs who have made a name for themselves in their own lunchtimes in some obscure sport or pastime and then think they are qualified to pontificate on all things. Russell Brand comes to mind but I have never been sure what he is famous for.

Russell Brand comes to mind but I have never been sure what he is famous for. Comedian and TV presenter and actor, amongst other things. I don't know about pontificating - don't we all do that? He's not really given any special leeway to do it - he's not even on TV much these days. He has, or had, his own website or maybe Youtube channel where he did pontificate (you shouldn't vote, or some such nonsense, was one of his things) but the only way that got known about was through the people who watched it or the journalists who reported on it, and he can't really be blamed for that. He can be irritating, but he is not unintelligent: |

I thought Russell Brand was just a sex mad comedian until I read an article he wrote in The Telegraph some time ago.
It was articulate and I was impressed by his fine command of language as well as his comprehensive understanding of our society.
It was not a political piece and he was not pushing any ideas. I was astounded actually. He is an intelligent man.

By the way, I like Michael Caine, even though he is a Conservative who wants to leave the EU, and I don't mind him saying it either.

It's the script, isn't it? Eggheads... doing what comes naturally ... who can beat them?.... The whole programme's self-important (Eggheads, because they can pick out the right answer from 4 more times than not?), but that's the nature of quiz programmes - once you start not to take it seriously you've lost it.
Anyway, this facebook comment of his is why Jeremy Vine's ok:
And he played this (possibly The Fall's best song) on R2 a few weeks ago:
Good chap.
