    I wear the German army jacket to remind me of better times.

    Appleyard's mischievous claim "it's me" backfires as he now tops Germany's 'most wanted' list

    Bryan, the diet's going well - just having the cornet without the ice-cream is a brilliant move. They should give you your own TV series!

    after an hour's wait, Bryan wished he'd thought of telling his blind date to look out for a man with a carnation instead.

    for Bryan it was always the same dilemma at the end of every holiday: the inane slogan tattoo, or the less painful t-shirt again?

    ''...but Mum, I'm 58, I have a DPhil. from Oxford and I earn more than the Prime Minister - why can't I have '99' like the other boys?!''

    Apart from the age and the D Phil and Oxford, you have nailed me exactly, Ian.

    Martin Jarvis begins to wonder if there isn't more to life than Radio 4 readings.

    Co-blogger. Nige also did not go to Oxford - at least I don't think so, there was certainly some nine-foot tall geezer at Cambridge who looked very like him.

    The 'earning more than the PM' thing strikes me as an amusing way to stir political interviews to life. There must be the occasional dull moment, which could surely be enlivened: "By the way, Minister, I earn more than you. I earn more than the Prime Minister. Look at my diamond-encrusted ipod. Look at my platinum iphone. Do you have anything to say about that?"

    You could even interview Mr Brown and keep jibing him about his relative poverty; then close the interview by slipping him a tenner, "get yourself something to eat, Gord, you're wasting away."

    Oddly enough, Elberry, I used to do that with Peter Mandelson. He got particularly upset about some DKNY shoes of mine. But that was many years ago and I think he hates me now.

    Grim picture! It looks like folks being shamed in a public pound after the Anti-Obesity League caught them in flagrante - perhaps the result of a tip-off from the Cones Hotline ho ho.

    ... sigh ... this Rodin bloke is taking forever. He said 40 minutes max and a free 99. What's a penseur, anyway? ...

    Another Unhappy Monday for Bez as he waits for Morrissey on the quay in Mablethorpe.
