Arf! the trouble is you can't get good armagnac anywhere in East Dulwich. Green & Blue (RIP) were the only place I ever found a half decent one.

Oh god. You do know I was taking the piss, right? It wasn't some shrouded personal attack. Jeez.

Jeez! I remember when the only place you could get it in London was the very first Oddbins that opened up on Farringdon Road. They didn't sell it in pubs, you couldn't get it anywhere else. It was around ?2.50 a bottle then (1974). About a pound more than an ordinary bourbon or whisky or whiskey. I thought that was expensive but I loved it and still do. I think I did a hell of a lot to advertise its dark smokey pleasures over here. So you damned well thank me, Keith Richards and Lemmy that we made it so damned popular because we were guzzling it before you were a twinkle in yer dad's eye. So there! Feckers!

Next time go somewhere else to buy it. Thirty quid is ridiculous.

You mug. He buys his rounds you know. I've drunk with him on a few occasions too. Good bloke. Loves a bit of a moan though but a good egg.

JL and Otta it of course makes perfectly acceptable night attire, when of course one is not entertaining a guest.


And of course such garments have a 'catchment area' - the newsagent for whatever combination of 'Sundays' one might have, the beer, takeaway run etc.


I have some clothing (I use the word loosely and some just barely covers my ample frame) that I have a 50 yard limit on.


It's making sure everyone's OK.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
