  The joy of friend-dropping, my take on Trump’s Covid and what I’ve learned about plastic surgery

  It’s a funny thing when your friends find that someone special: every so often, they aren’t so much “special” as “having all the poise and charm of damp grey towel”. Everyone surely knows one couple (at least) where it’s happened. An impossibly glamorous, fascinating friend marries Boris Karloff with a charisma bypass.

  The Grinch review – an unwanted Christmas gift

  Now comes another animation, which takes the book’s message that you can’t buy Christmas and tops it up with noisy, wacky capering, squishing and flattening Seuss’s universe into yet another bland frenetic kids’ movie.
