Cake and whipped cream…
Yet three pages long already. Wonder what Gwyneth will have for breakfast today. And will Mr Martin be able to keep regular bowel movements through this difficult period? (by that I don't mean his ‘songs‘, churned out though as they are as well)

I saw something nasty in the woodshed!
I'm too knackered to gossip on this - I minuted four meetings today. But I have something else to - almost - cheer you up.
My colleague has started driving lessons and last night she could have run over Nick Clegg! Just imagine! "I am sorry Your Honour; twas my second driving lesson and I mistook left with right and the brake with the accellerator!" Completely OT, I know.
I am trying to encourage her....
I might pay for more lessons.

That sounds more like Clegg summing up his career.

I have theories about why sleb marriages seem less likely to succeed.
1. Actors. Acting requires emotional intimacy from day one of a new project. Actors therefore tend to be (in my fairly extensive experience) a little trigger happy with the infatuation experience. Meet a new person you click with, even just as friends, and they quickly become your new favourite thing in the world. Also, yes, sometimes snogging.
2. Famous people have people throwing themselves at them. A lot. A friend of mine is a fairly successful stand up whose been a minor "name" for quite a long time. He regularly gets propositioned, and has sometimes advised younger stand ups that "it's not you they want to fuck, it's the microphone.". I bet even Coldplay have groupies. And even if you never give in to temptation, you can't help but be thinking "I could do better".
3. Rich people are surrounded by people whose jobs depend on making the rich people happy. They are treated unusually well. In Hollywood this becomes truly bizarre where anyone expressing any interest in working with you will tell you that you're the best thing ever, send gift baskets, etc. and then you come home to someone who gets irritated when you leave toothpaste on the sink or the loo seat up or whatever. Would guess that if might be very tempting to see your partner's normal irritation with you as being deeply unreasonable. After all, everyone else thinks you're amazing and that nothing is too much trouble to help you.
Anyway, that's my theory.

that would certainly be a step up from his boy-ish piano teacher phantasies.Things could be worse.
It could be Udo Lindenberg and his hat splitting up with his wife, and writing a song about it.

Hit voice record on your phone and write it up after. I don't often have to minute, but doing it like that has made it a lot easier

Were i worked we could buy digi recorders but you had to ask at each meeting if people minded the digi recorder being used and some arsehole always did.
Probably because too many people like to decide what they said at a meeting after the meeting. They don't like there to be evidence that actually no thats not what they said.

That's probably a misunderstanding of the law. You don't need permission if it's just for your own use and you don't publish it anywhere.
And no one's any the wiser when you do it by smartphone anyhow.
