Giles Coren

Okay, fine, sorry. I got that one wrong. Rude, disrespectful, silly. I apologise.

He’s not yawning because he’s tired! He’s yawning because *I* yawned. As I explain here: thetimes.com/comment/column…

@BrieucG The split infinitive is a random illogical prohibition born of the 18th century standardisers’ snobbish obsession with Latin. As Raymond Chandler wrote to his editor: “When I split an infinitive, goddam it, I split it so it will stay split!”

@gilescoren Your subbies have let you down again: "... is to grimly traduce him." Argh, a split infinititititive. What an appalling solecism. Hanging's too good, blah blah blah ...

@Weemoo700 No salmon isn’t though.

@gilescoren Wild salmon is out of most peoples’ budget

Excellent, powerful piece from Tom. We’ve GOT to stop eating this shit.

Great as always @gilescoren. Agree with so much especially the abundance of not particularly beautiful exposed flesh🤣

@DAaronovitch I wasn’t questioning the truth of your statement. I just wondered why you thought it.

@gilescoren Ask the relevant people if it isn't true, comrade Coren

Here's a column that would never have got past John Witherow

@BovrilG At my age I’ll just be glad to be having an orgasm.

Hexing @gilescoren so that every time he’s close to orgasm from now on he pictures his brother-in-law David Mitchell’s red sweaty face from one of the Peep Show episodes where he has sex with someone

@IanLabour Thank you!

@gilescoren You really are childish.

Prince Harry, Elton John, David Furnish, Liz Hurley, Sadie Frost, Simon Hughes, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen! Max Moseley can you hear me? Max Moseley, your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating! ENG-NOR - IYKYK

@moira_pill79342 @TimesRadio They’re Times reading pals.

@TimesRadio @gilescoren You are a complete progressive idiot He has achieved a million times more than you in his life and funny for weeks the Burnham bounce hasn’t happened in the polls You and your guardian reading pals would love it if true but it’s not Just proves what a deluded idiot you are

"The Farage dream is over", declares Times columnist Giles Coren. The Reform UK leader is facing the same fate that takes all political leaders in the end, he says. "The more messianic they are, the bigger the fall.” @gilescoren

@ClareWilsonMed True

@gilescoren Max Moseley might have liked a hell of a beating

Wrongly accused of stopping in a yellow box by Hammersmith and Fulham Council, I appealed but they refuse to disclose evidence. My wife forbids me contesting any further coz she’s so bored with it and I pay £160 fine for a thing I didn’t do. BASTARDS. thetimes.com/article/a38408…

@curehead Eh?

@gilescoren Tell her they send the money to Israel to bomb babies

@DennisBellDCAFC Yeah that’s a joke about forums

@Hazipslip @Yellowboxguru @TimesRadio I looked him up and he was interesting. And I initially contested it. But as I’ve written in the column my wife, whose authorisation I needed because the car is registered in her name, wouldn’t give it to me. On the basis that I’m wasting thousands of pounds of work time on it.

@gilescoren Oh dear @Yellowboxguru and the treasure trove of advice and information he has, has helped me enormously with this sort of thing. Get him in your column or on @timesradio, he’s an awesome human

Burnham wants to take the power from London and spread it up North. To which we say “go for it mate, take the fucking lot, as long as you take our traffic and our house prices and our tourists and our airports and our cost of living and our £10 pints…” thetimes.com/article/efdeef…

@AlexPaknadel There isn’t really a point being made. It’s a tweet linking to a newspaper column that makes all the points you did. It’s an excellent thing and I welcome it.
