@purplesime thank you!

@george_ogier @schmeters either’s good; discuss at school gates no doubt!

@george_ogier sounds good – may need to be here if that’s ok as H may have choir. @schmeters welcome of course

@george_ogier sounds grand tho am away Thurs/Fri; you’d be welcome here too of course

@george_ogier excellent – now you can save money back in the Cotswolds. Oh.

@george_ogier I’m not sure *anyone* has political gravitas. We’re all just poncy animals.

@george_ogier agreed. Especially about the insufferable bit. But there’s a lot of patronising snootiness in the papers too. How was Edin?

Tho I agree with him, I generally think Brand is overrated, mostly by himself; but Mark Steel is spot on: independent.co.uk/voices/comment…

@seamusmccauley well, there you are: be careful what you don’t wish for

It should always pain us to praise @seamusmccauley but – well done, Seamus: facebook.com/seamus.mccaule… (why he turned down a £120K job)
