Is It Me, Or...
... is the Paul Burrell case a right royal waste of time and money? So it's Regina v Burrell and it's all over the media and it costs millions of pounds of taxpayers' money, and then the day is saved at the nth hour, by... regina? Just doesn't really make sense, does it?

And the the uber-loyal royal servant, whose committment to the memory of Diana was such that he wouldn't even press the point until it looked like he'd be incacerated for something he hasn't done, has a personality transplant.

I mean, the bloke who wouldn't even speak after the trial was adjourned, had a statement read by his counsel, to which he wisely, silently, loyally nodded, that's the bloke who has sold his story to the Mirror. What is the world comming to?

I caught the tail-end of a Radio 4 programme on my way out last night, where a panel of talking heads were discussing the "ulrika-isation" of the media world, and the prevailing view seemed to be that obviously people - celebrities - shouldn't overshare, but obviously if there's money involved, needs must. I mean. Duh?
