Grace Dent is the best example of a boderline boiler I have ever seen.

I think she's smart and funny and imagine she'd be exceptionally good fun to have a beer with. Boy Coren on the other hand...
Yeah there's a couple of things I really like about her. Nudge nudge.

I like Coren-Mitchell, but I don't like Only Connect. It's as if someone watched University Challenge and thought 'how can we make this even more smug?'


Was it you that wrote in to complain about the pretentiousness of using Greek letters?

Might've been, although I think I said 'funny forin squiggles' rather than 'Greek letters'.

We're supposed to have Brexit-ed!

Her mind and her husband, presumably?

You're wrong. Only Connect is the best show on TV, possibly ever.

And what's more, this very fanzine was once a clue on it.


Worth a full five points, I think. I'm pretty sure that's how many I awarded myself after shouting "FOOTBALL FANZINES, FOOTBALL FANZINES" at the telly.

I like it, and it's possibly the best quiz show on TV.

*even if the missing letters round is the only round I'm good at.

Yeah, I did the same. My Mrs looked really irritated.

She calls this place 'Angels and Demons', mockingly.

Being her husband must be a decent gig, freeloading your way around the finest restaurants without having to bother writing about it.

My late father in law used to insure many curry houses and I got scores of free curries out of it across the Midlands.

I agree, she's definitely got a certain something about her, although not quite to Amanda Abbington levels.

Sorry, thought we were talking about Coren-Mitchell. Comment withdrawn.

I've said this before on here, but when she sees H&V open, my wife says "aw, are you playing with your internet boyfriends again?" It's just the right level of scorn.

There's only one of me, Rory, and many hundreds of podgy middle-aged men in their bedrooms that want a tiny piece of me. You do the math

How dare you, I'm not (quite) middle-aged.

I've had digital encounters and he's always encouraging.
Good luck to him.

Which Ashley are you talking about here, Preece or Young?
