Maybe. I've never seen it but every time I hear something about it, I get it confused with Four Weddings and A Funeral. Does anyone die in Love, Actually?

I've no idea, but I have an idea that they should and – more than that – it should involve chainsaws.

Ob. Cycling: His Leggship once steered the FNRTTC to Sarfend via the church in West Thurrock where the funeral in Four Weddings takes place. Regulator told us all a tale of romantic encounters then we went to the Bata shoe factory for a lecture on architecture and shoe making.

Happy days.

I've read about that Bata factory/town. Seems Bata were to 20th century shoes what Bournville were to 19th century chocolate or Titus Salt to weaving.

Jonathan Meades on Bata town. Mentioned this very day in, of all places, the Graun's football section.

Major cities failing to plan for any wheelchair accessible homes

Well obviously.  Money doesn't use a wheelchair.

I assume that the master plan is that, given the inevitable flooding, wheelchair uses will merely float in.

How is the fact that he lied about an extra marital affair a shock to anyone whatsoever? And as you say, it really isn’t front page news.

Was it with the gopher?  *checks*  No.  Don't care, though I have some symapthy for gay men of a certain age in this respect, especially if they're in a position where it's likely to be front page news...

Odd how the right wing media tended to ignore BloJo's multiple affairs isn't it?

Yeah but he didn’t lie about them. He lied about everything else, but not his affairs.

I think it's odd that he has been booted from ITV.  Must be more to it, but a consensual extra-marital affair is not a fireable offence.

He got sacked from the Shadow Cabinet for lying about his affair with Petronella Wyatt, but it deterred him neither from lying nor shagging.

I am told by people who read more shite press than I do, that Schofield had a habit of having multiple clandestine affairs with younger and less senior men, then basically bullying them to quit their jobs or get them sacked to protect his privacy.

I'd give more of a shit if the heterosexual male presenters who almost certainly have done, or do similar, were treated the same way; but they aren't. This has the whiff f "eww gays" and implying gay people are inherently more dishonest or icky.
