So better not ask India Knight why she changed her name in her late teens (her own wasn't posh enough).

Colin Jackson ex athlete once gave me a bollocking in the loos at Heathrow when I thanked him for signing his autograph of his picture in the paper on a flight from Seville. He had just become world champion and I asked the hostess mid flight to take my paper to him and ask him to sign it. I didn't know she was going to wake him up.


Does that qualify as chippy or not?

Not chippy in the true sense (chip on the shoulder) but the people that I reckon come across worst in interviews are

Keith Allen

Kristin Scott Thomas

Ricky gervais (written)

Mick Hucknall (google his This Much I Know interview in the guardian from 2006, I still read it now to raise a smile if I'm a bit glum, works every time! )

Damien Hirst in the Groucho Club was a surly faced git although he did draw a shark sketch for my daughter's 16th birthday on the back of a Groucho envelope. I also told Dick or Dom (the blonde one) off for being a twat around the Groucho piano. Name dropping....me?

Wow! He really is a complete arse. I've had a horrendous day at work and reading that interview really made me chuckle! Big thanks!

I detest celebrity culture; it's like a disease. It serves no purpose but to make us feel unhappy with our lot.


I enjoyed reading the Mick Hucknall interview so thanks for posting Hellosailor. I admire his honesty. He had an interview where he refused to play by the rules and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm not saying I like him, or I agree with him, or I'd rush out and buy a CD; just saying that I admire the honesty.


This week Katie Holmes is divorcing Tom Cruise. Last week she was holding his hand in public and smiling. Everywhere you look there's a celebrity saying that their youthful good-looks are down to lots of yoga, water and good genes, when we can all see they've been under the knife and have a face-full of botox. It's all phoney. Utter bollox. So when someone (Mick Hucknall) suddenly interviews after taking a truth-serum it all seems rather shocking because it's not what we're used to.


Human behaviour is governed by a need to look good. Obviously not for Mick Hucknall. At least he's sincere.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
