Watching Newsnight...
...I remembered to write about something I have often thought about before. As the end credits roll, I always wonder about Jeremy P's journey home and what awaits him when he gets there.
Does he drive home ? Is he driven ? When he arrives there, wherever there is, does he eat or have a gill, or both perhaps ? Is the house asleep ? Is there a light on ? Is it lonely or peaceful ? Does he turn to Bach or Beethoven or is silence his soundtrack ? What time does The Pax choose to repose and call it a day - finally ?
Always fascinated me, these questions, about the late night legend. And I wonder what he thinks about us lot, who watch his show, if he ever thinks about us at all - the great unwashed, along with those politicians who regard him as the gladiator. The gladiator they both want to befriend and defeat yet can usually do neither.
I love Paxo because he reminds me of how confusing it is for all of us, which is reassuring. For the record, I'm guessing he is driven home as opposed to driving himself and has a gill and a sandwich of some sort, or perhaps a plate of ready to be reheated goodness wearing a crown of tin foil crimped tight with love, loyalty and affection.
God bless you JP.

I prefer to believe that after the show he heads straight down to the Ministry of Sound with Kirsty Wark and parties through to the next day.
That's obviously why he works nights!!

Absolutely brilliant blog today - I love Jeremy Paxman! If I were MrsP, I would have a large G&T waiting for him on his return from a long hard day of tearing into people. He is so good at his job and when he raises his eyes to heaven for help when someone is faffing, I just love it!
Now, I did email the show last night (it felt very daring!) because you may just be asked the following on Millionaire tonight: Re: Thunderbirds - "F.A.B." stands for Fully Acknowledged Broadcast. OK? Just thought I'd let you know this!

I just love love Jerermy Paxman - I love men with clever minds, but I'm not going to pass any more comment on that comment..... I love him on UniChallenge - especially when he shouts at someone for 'conferring' when not supposed to, or taking too long to answer! Great blog Chris, and often when you start thinking bizarre thoughts like that your funny old brain takes you along strange paths....or is that just me???!!!
Deev - don't let silly woman get to you, just head back to 'Pool in your mind and let it wash over you.
And Rips - do you really really do what you say you do, cos you seem to be attached to celebs and their movements and info a huge amount?! So anyway, next time you pass Jeremy on the A40 can you please flag him down for me and kidnap him? Much appreciated.
So who's coming to Glasgow then???!!!!

Just returned from my jaunt from hicksville to the big smoke, first comment, isn't the O2 arena preciptous? Luckily, nice official type blokey took pity on all us in the God's (rowU) and moved us to row J. Much better view! Mass histeria when some (if not all) The X Factor finallists turned up, much girly screaming for Jedward, muppets!

Sadly I am only a simple Tinsmith....which is why I can tell you that you lucky lot in Glasgae are getting a COS in the new year. Upmarket H&M for those that care.
....Oh and this'll make you laugh, and I promise on Van's life - that I have one of my guys at a certain R&B stars home in Hampstead today fixing the A/C.
Clue.....Met the engineer on Monday, took him to the site on Tuesday, we were making duct on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday...The apartment was chilled on Sunday.
Amazing Top floor of a mansion - with a huge Chocolate cupboard!
Very nice guy too.

In honour of your presence, something to make the blog chuckle ...
The following questions were set in last year's GCSE examination in Swindon, Wiltshire ( :PLACE :COUNTRY-REGION U.K. )
These are genuine answers (from 16 year olds)
Q. Name the four seasons
A. Salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar
Q. Explain one of the processes by which water can be made safe to drink
A. Flirtation makes water safe to drink because it removes large pollutants like grit, sand, dead sheep and canoeists
Q. How is dew formed
A. The sun shines down on the leaves and makes them perspire
Q. What causes the tides in the oceans
A. The tides are a fight between the earth and the moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins the fight
Q. What guarantees may a mortgage company insist on
A. If you are buying a house they will insist that you are well endowed
Q. In a democratic society, how important are elections
A. Very important. Sex can only happen when a male gets an election
Q. What are steroids
A. Things for keeping carpets still on the stairs (Shoot yourself now , there is little hope)
Q. What happens to your body as you age
A. When you get old, so do your bowels and you get intercontinental
Q. What happens to a boy when he reaches puberty
A. He says goodbye to his boyhood and looks forward to his adultery (So true)
Q Name a major disease associated with cigarettes
A. Premature death
Q. What is artificial insemination
A. When the farmer does it to the bull instead of the cow
Q. How can you delay milk turning sour
A. Keep it in the cow (Simple, but brilliant)
Q. How are the main 20 parts of the body categorised (e.g. The abdomen)
A. The body is consisted into 3 parts - the brainium, the borax and the abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain, the borax contains the heart and lungs and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels: A, E, I, O and U (What the *!!*???)
Q. What is the fibula?
A. A small lie
Q. What does 'varicose' mean?
A. Nearby
Q. What is the most common form of birth control
A. Most people prevent contraception by wearing a condominium (That would work)
Q. Give the meaning of the term 'Caesarean section'
A. The caesarean section is a district in :PLACE :CITY Rome
Q. What is a seizure?
A. A Roman Emperor. (Julius Seizure, I came, I saw, I had a fit)
Q. What is a terminal illness
A. When you are sick at the airport. (Irrefutable)
Q. Give an example of a fungus. What is a characteristic feature?
A. Mushrooms. They always grow in damp places and they look like umbrellas
Q. Use the word 'judicious' in a sentence to show you understand its meaning
A. Hands that judicious can be soft as your face. (OMG)
Q. What does the word 'benign' mean?
A. Benign is what you will be after you be eight
Q. What is a turbine?
A. Something an Arab or Shreik wears on his head

Hi Dreamer - how are you? You would have ADORED the Liverpool meet. I can honestly say, the bloggers are a terrific bunch - very friendly and welcoming.

Apologies to anyone who hasn't.

Blog meets are my place to be me. Do what I want, when I want and not have to worry as to whether he's got a drink, got anyone to talk to, looks bored, wants to go home etc etc etc.
When on my own I can (if I want) order bottles of bubbly with Beez, stay up wil the wee small hours and use all the towels in the hotel room!
Suffice to say, as lovely as he is, Mr Deev WILL NOT be attending any blog meets.
