RIP...John Burton, Fauna and Flora, World Land Trust. A man who not only cared deeply about wildlife, but knew which humans could be trusted and which could not . A man who got things done, world wide.He was my mentor ..I hope I helped him sometimes.

In case you're wondering. Or if you're not. The past few years have been a bit grim. For me, I mean. Illnesses, Couldn't work. Not wanted anyway!? Tech blind.Lost enthusiasm."But I am still here." Turning into Ethel Merman? Still, so many people are a lot worse.

Who is Boris's speech writer? Stewart Lee? Ben Elton? Me? "Let's give him some really dumb jokes and crass insults that make him seem like a total twat." The PM replies: "I don't need anyone, I can do that myself." That's the truth. "The truth?! I don't understand."

THE NORTH WATER BBC2 tonight. Don't watch.Complain. This series is an obscenity. Seal and whale slaughter. Totally realistic. A drama, a thriller, favourable reviews. No excuse. It still goes on. Horrific. Not TV . Based on a book.? So what?! Outrageous.

Hey Miriam. It would really sadden me if you had me down as a Footlights mysogynist. I was incensed that women couldn't be "members", but I got no support from the "all male" council, whom I accused of not wanting the competition! Such as Germaine, Emma Thompson, and YOU! X

Remember the Magical Magyars? Hungary first team to beat England at Wembley. 6-3! Then 7-1 in Hungary!. But Wolves beat Honved 3-2. I was there. Cut to Puskas stadium last week. Oh how sad. Young players great, old fans never change. Right Gareth?

Well here's a coincidence- I have just been touching up a model Pelican in my garden. I want one like they have on the Danube Delta, even though I don't think it will lure pelicans to breed in Hampstead.

Like most ageing codgers I take about a dozen different pills every day. You too? ? Ever forget ? My local pharmacy supplies me with see thru boxes with little compartments with sorted pills ,dates, times, and instructions. 4 months worth at a time. Brilliant! Try it..

They used to say Rugby was a gentleman's game and football was for oafs. Street kids v Public school. May still be ,but witness the dignity, courage, and generosity of the Olympics or the Euros, compared with and the bludgeoning brutality of the Lions Tests. Make sport not war.
