Check-out day. That inevitable moment when your hotel reminds you that, no, you can’t just stay forever. You drag yourself out of bed, stare longingly at the city just waking up outside your window, and sigh. But here’s the thing—just because the hotel wants your room back by 10 AM doesn’t mean your trip has to end. You’ve got hours before your flight, a whole city around you.

The phrase “shocking findings” is hugely overused in the media, which is strange because it’s so clumsy.

Always go for a weeing before leaving the house – or building. Most “shocking findings” don’t turn out to be that shocking.

The concept of a pun was stretched almost to breaking point a few days ago when a newspaper, on a report that the prime minister had been ushered to the front of a long line of people waiting for a toboggan ride, put the headline: “Sir Queue Jumper!” It’s really only the “Sir” that lets us know a pun is even being attempted. But, since the current prime minister is also a knight, it seems that “Sir Queue Jumper” is a humorous play on the phrase “Sir Keir Starmer”.

Hello people in the USA and Canada! #Ludwig launches today on @BritBox_US and @Britbox_CA, so here's a trailer. I hope you enjoy the trailer and then watch the show and enjoy the show. Yes, those are my not entirely selfless hopes. https://t.co/3VzShA8UMY
Glamorous news: There’s a piece in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER about the launch of #Ludwig on @BritBox_US and @Britbox_CA on 20th March! It’s very nice though it does say I was in Blackadder, which would have been extremely nice, but sadly isn’t true. https://t.co/EBkRH6eCOb
