Do you ever do this?You go through all your old coats and jackets checking the pockets for money?It’s like a cheap version of Deal Or No Deal. “Is there money in this one?” No. “Is there money in that one?” No.You go through all your pockets and you don’t find a penny ... BUT THEN – you see your partner’s jacket and trousers lying on a chair ... and you think, “Aha! Result! I’m taking them down

I had this thought and I’m not sure if it says bad things about me or bad things about a friend of mine...I got an email from my friend George saying, "I’m doing a 14 mile walk for charity and I’d like you to sponsor me. £2 per mile would be great. More than that would be wonderful”.So I got out the calculator and did the sums – 14 miles at £2 per mile – that’s £28.(Getting out the calculator

Seeing all the media Michael Jackson’s death has got, hopefully it might give Lily Allen’s PR team some ideas.There can be few sounds more pleasing than a small child going, “Wheeee!” Unless you’re in a multi story car park and you only looked away for two seconds.I thought I had a big red spot coming up on my nose – but luckily it turned out to be a snipers laser site.

Asked where she waited tables, she quips: “I worked in Hell… If Hell serves barbecue sauce and fries with everything! The true answer is every restaurant I ever worked in is now closed down.

Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be ...... Eminem.Yes I'm cleanin' out my closet. I was deleting some old files when I came across a stack of stuff I'd written for BBC's Have I Got News For You (June 2009). Some of it I said, some of it got cut out and some of it I forgot. Although it's a topical show this material hasn't dated as much as I thought it would - maybe because we're still screwed

Q1: What is your 2009 show all about?No theme. Just as much material as I can force into 60 minutes.I’ve got so many things to talk about: drunken girlfriends, ugly children, identity theft, sex, relationships, my ideas for Dragons Den inventions and possibly a 5 point plan to solve the current economic crisis.Q2: Why should we come and see it?Because Jo Caulfield’s in it and I hear she’s very

Everybody's got a camera nowadays.I think between the years 1979 and 1997 the only time I took a photo was on holiday - and I still haven't developed half of them.But nowadays everyone's taking snaps with mobile phones and sending me the picture.To be honest, I can never be bothered downloading them. I delete them straight away.And I've read that 8 out of 10 people do the same thing.So please

Everything will get a lot worse, before it gets worse.In January Heather Mills will meet the exiting President George W. Bush. She will attempt to show her disapproval at his Presidency by copying the journalist in Iraq, and throw her shoes at him. Heather’s efforts will only be half as effective.With Woolworth’s closing down, pregnant teenager schoolchildren will be forced to shoplift elsewhere.
