A problem for another day, but we’re really going to have to have a serious think about which centuries are long and which are short. They can’t all be long.

"Guests who bring wine are also more likely to turn up with it either in a box or a can"
Look, what you arrive with is a statement of how you want the evening to go. If you turn up with a box of wine, we're on, but at some point I'll probably play Radiohead on a ukulele
It's now considered 'rude' to bring wine to a dinner party, bring a bottle of olive oil instead trib.al/MxyvHkn

One of the best pubs in London @SekfordeThe struggling for survival because planning is stacked in favour of some powerful (likely old) NIMBYs. Everything that’s wrong with Britain

Brilliant book - the girls (7) loved it. Film is good with some reservations. Box of Delights next! Although the opening sequence remains TERRIFYING
The Wolves are running for Joan Aiken, too @PiersTorday - this year is her centenary! Hoping that snowed-in children will read this, as well as The Box of Delights. RT please

Halloween costumes are depressingly American. Where are the slutty Postman Pats or horny Wombles?

Armenian wine has much going for it, improving winemaking, and money and ambition from the diaspora. It’s one of the most fascinating and beautiful countries I have ever visited. Don’t be surprised if it goes mainstream cluboenologique.com/story/ar…
