In my experience, most posh clever people are not pricks.

On the contrary, they're usually pleasant, easy-going & open minded.

[cambridgealex]

Maybe just me but I've always thought Ian Hislop has managed the rare feat of being able to come across as both posh and clever but not a complete prick.

Yes, but I'm not sure that the default for posh & clever people is to become an appendage.

I can lay claim to being 1 out of the 3, I believe.

I am glad you found an inoffensive way of saying what I was thinking. You are, on this occasion, completely right, too.

It's a fabulous photo actually, & says a lot about the era.

Yes sir and I believe you will spot me instantly

 

Geo

Too easy.

The person standing on the extreme right in the photo. You've not changed a bit.

I'd like to think not

'He's almost an institution these days, right up there with Stephen Fry.'

I don't know if that was off the top of your head Tony or if you had seen the same discussion I saw on some TV channel yesterday. There was a poll to decide which celebrity the general public thought would make a good Prime Minister, Stephen Fry was the clear number one but the main point of discussion was how nobody voted Ian Hislop on to the list instead of some of those on it.

1. Stephen Fry - 21.1%
2. Jeremy Clarkson - 13.0%
3. Joanna Lumley - 8.6%
4. Alan Sugar - 6.5%
5. JK Rowling - 5.2%
6. Simon Cowell - 4.8%
7. Hugh Grant - 4.1%
8. Trevor McDonald - 3.5%
9. Adele - 3.3%
10. David Beckham - 3.3%

Wot no Ian Hislop?

I did have  a bit of a chuckle when the Mrs said 'Well I can see why Hugh Grant is on the list, he was Prime Minister in Love Actually'

No, it was off the top of my head, I never saw that programme. Thank God.

I assume it was jocular, not serious, that poll? Please say it was all in jest. I think I'd have to shoot myself if people really thought like that.

[TightEnd]

Adele? 3% of people voted for Adele?

FFS.

David Beckham would make an excellent King I think, or a President in one of those countries where the President is largely ceremonial and the Prime Minister makes all of the big decisions.

And Becks, Cowell, Grant.....

Abandon hope, all ye who enter.....

I'd heard that, but thought it was just a rumour...
