Wogan, Norton… when Graham gives up commentating on for the BBC, which irreverent, avuncular Irishman will take the baton? Ardal O’Hanlon? Uncle Colm? One of the Jedwards?

I’ve just seen the Lineker clip.

A lot of people I follow, like and respect are critical of him for having no answer.

But I can’t fault his assessment (slightly obvious though it is) and would argue you don’t need to know what the right answer is to identify the wrong answer.

Tell you what’s odd: there’s no antonym to ‘too’, in the sense of “Alistair, you tweet too much”.

If something’s bigger than I want, I can say it’s too big but if it’s not big enough I have to say it’s too small.

Let’s start saying ‘oot’.

Something that’s too small is oot big.

Look at this and tell me with a straight face that civilisation isn’t on the brink of collapse.

(And no, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t buy it if I lived alone. Of *course* I would.)

Want to get in the mood for ? Here's the blog I wrote last year for the company I've since left. I see they haven't bothered to push it on social, so I'm doing their work for them. Anyway, for some mildly diverting stats and visualisations, see: solidatus.com/news/douze-poi…

Call it envy, if you like, because you'd be right - of *course* I envy not having to worry about money; who wouldn't, particularly if you've done nothing to earn your wealth? - but this makes me *so* angry. If I were this rich, I'd take the tube just for shits and giggles.
