Grace Dent - truth will out

I'll miss Carole. She was dry, witty, calm-headed and at least led the conversation into some intelligent places. I sat watching live feed Jade and Danielle over the weekend, with added percussion by Jack. To say that an eight-year-old child could run rings around them all intellectually would be vastly unfair to Tony Blair's educational legacy.

How has Danielle got all those GCSEs? Was she dating the exam-board supervisor? Whatever, listening to Jade and Danielle even try to agree where they met and how they know each other puts me in mind of that Larson cartoon "Midvale School for the Gifted".

That is far from boring. She is 100% correct.

Interesting here-


How long before Jermaine, Shilpa and Dirk walk out too? In the face of so much stupidity, bitching and bad feeling, I'm very impressed with Shilpa Shetty for having the stoic determination to stay. She's the best advert for converting to Hinduism I've ever seen. If Shilpa's faith could help me retreat to a fluttery place in my head where the tedious little triumvirate of fishwife Danielle, Fenella the Kettle Witch Jo and Jade plc became even worth reasoning with, I'd give it a shot.
