I Went Glamping and all I Brought Back Was This Terrible Head Cold
The last of the 50th Birthday celebrations were completed last weekend with a Glamping trip for my friend, Peter, which was kindly funded by his wife, Amanda. It was good to see old friends again (there were ten of us in total) and I was grateful to see that I wasn't the only one who had developed a limp and strange caveman noises to accompany simple tasks like doing up shoelaces or getting out of a car.

Poor old Theresa got humiliated, got incandescent about being humiliated and as a result carried all the confidence of someone who has seen a ghost, defecated in their pants, and realised they were wearing white trousers. Or as one journalist from The Independent hilariously described her press conference: “It was, at moments, Keeganesque. By the end, she may even have told the ...
