Never a truer word spoken.
That's the bottom line.

| And yet, that wasn't the stupidest thing he said last week. Even ignoring any statements of policy he might have made. |

A radio programme that combines jokes with unexpected historical and contemporary insights:
The Museum of Curiosity - Series 6 - 1. Watson, Fletcher, Blashford-Snell
The Museum of Curiosity is the natural meeting place for entertaining experts and expert entertainers. This week, it's flinging open its doors, inaugurating a brand new wing of empty plinths [] ready to receive 3 new exhibits. Our host is (as ever) the Professor of Ignorance, John Lloyd, and for this series he is joined by a new curator, the comedian Humphrey Ker. This week's generous donors are Egyptologist Prof. Joann Fletcher, who is presenting us with a hugely significant Roman coin; explorer Col. John Blashford-Snell, who brings a compass that led its owner [to] the greatest one-liner in History; and the comedian Mark Watson, who is offering us something rather small and personal.

Sir David Jason back for Open All Hours Christmas show
Sir David Jason is reprising his role as Granville in BBC sitcom Open All Hours for a one-off Christmas Special.
Lynda Baron and Maggie Ollerenshaw will also return as nurse Gladys Emmanuel and Mavis respectively.
The original series, starring the late Ronnie Barker as Granville's uncle Arkwright, ran between 1973 and 1985.
"I am sure there is an audience out there who would like to see what Granville has been up to in the corner shop," said Sir David, 73.
"I'm really excited to be bringing back Open All Hours," he added.
"It will be a great family show for Christmas and a fitting tribute to the legacy of Arkwright."
The 30-minute special will be created by the programme's original writer, Roy Clarke.
He said: "This has been fun - a great opportunity to work with David Jason again and to suggest how things at that corner shop might look today."
BBC One controller Charlotte Moore said it made BBC One's Christmas schedule "suddenly feel complete".
In the original programme, which consisted of four series, Arkwright was the miserly Doncaster shop owner and his nephew Granville was his put-upon shop assistant.
In the new one-off episode, Granville now runs the shop, having inherited it from Arkwright.

If I was still living with my parents, they would.

| Will Granville have settled down with the nice milk delivery girl? I always got the impression she quite liked him, though I don't think he had the courage to do anything about it. |

Probably something electronic, that also updates the stock records, if the shop's been properly brought into the 21st century. It would be linked to credit card readers too...
(As an aside, it seems to me that many young people have forgotten how to use money. It annoys me if I'm waiting to get served somewhere, and a student uses a card to pay for one drink!  ) |
