  • I didn’t mock someone’s death. I simply said how wonderful it is when people get to live in the world they strive for. Someone who works to make the air cleaner living free from pollution. Someone who campaigns for food security never going hungry. Someone who fights tooth and nail to block any attempt to prevent children having their heads blown apart by a lunatic wielding an automatic rifle in school getting their head blown apart by a lunatic wielding an automatic rifle in a school. Someone who volunteers at a dog rescue for years getting to live on one of those dog rescue ranches. And so on.



















  • A glass of 1965 Chateau Cheval Blanc. We were being entertained by friends in their house which had a significant wine cellar. I protested repeatedly that I was not going to appreciate it, but they insisted it was for friends. It was very nice. I normally spend about £15 a bottle on wine, that bottle was worth about a thousand times that.

    As an aside, they have a rack with bottles reserved for celebrating some individual’s deaths. I’ll let you guess who.
