When James Anderson opens the bowling for Surrey at home next year it will be his first County Championship match at the Oval since 2003. Indeed, that is his only one. He took the first five Surrey wickets to fall in that match so he's got 24 years of making-up to do

Seems a great time to draw attention to Charlie Broker's excellent Russell Brand takedown in 2015

Has @coopuk just given up on shoplifting? Bloke just walked out with a case of Stella. Shop assistant asks if he’s going to pay. I’ve got my hands full with shopping but put myself between him and the door to delay him a bit for security to arrive and no one came.

The Purdey cut catapulted the stylist to international fame, bringing the likes of Princess Diana and Paul McCartney to his chair. But it was the haircare products that sealed his fortune

This week on The Common Sense Revolution podcast @gavinmegaw, @patrick_kidd and I interview Lord Brady.
In his 14 years as chairman of the 1922 Committee, he refereed multiple leadership challenges and contests.
So how does he rate Kemi Badenoch’s prospects?

Edmund Richardson’s excellent biography of Alexander the Great has won the Baillie Gifford Prize. I reviewed it in May for @RobbieTimes. He fought hard and partied hard and had the most expensive hangover in history. Alexander, that is, not Robbie

To The Savile Club, to sing for my supper w @patrick_kidd and together remind folk of the Great that we too oft forget is still in #Britain today …
It's the annual London to Brighton veteran car run this Sunday. Wrote this about it last year. If you share my love for pre-1905 bone-shaking, smoke-spewing Gumdrops and Genevieves then get to Hyde Park at dawn to see them head off.

What an astonishing result for Fleetwood Town, putting Arsenal out of the League Cup. And the most delightful thing as I listened to the finale on the radio was when a Hammond organ started to play in the ground as soon as the decisive penalty went in. Sheer seaside jollity.
It’s October 26 and @theivycafe in Blackheath already has its Christmas decorations up. A couple of frosted pines and a large polar bear in a festive jumper. Quite jolly but if you can’t wait until Advent could we at less delay Christmas until after All Souls?
