gawd bless him and all who sail with him. He looks so very lost in the Big Brother house.

I found myself getting quite angry when I caught this last night. This is the man who made "The Devils", "Women in Love", "Tommy" and "Lizstomania" for goodness sake. He was more of a rebel than any of those pathetic wannabe's in the house with him will ever be.

Yet all they did was treat him like a boring old fart who should be in an old people's home.

You know something's wrong when the likes of Ian H think he's been "brave" in coming out (or that it might be news who didn't spot him as "the obligatory gay member" within five seconds of first seeing Steps perform).

Personally I'm hoping he gets voted out early so I can have my evenings back - he's the ONLY reason I'm watching Celeb Big Brother right now, and it's sad to see him being so modest about his past movies as if nobody could be expected to remember them or him.

I agree completely - but he knows what he is doing adn I read in one of the papers today that he sees this as being rather like when he was in the Navy and confined in a small space with a bunch of sado-masochists.

My hope is that he will do something surprising... or better still... really dark. happy New Year by the way.

Well it looks like you got your surprise, as he's walked out of the house.

It does sound like he's been the one at fault, but I guess we'll have to wait to see the footage to see who was in the right and who was in the wrong.

I must say if I'd got to spend more than 5 minutes with Jade Goody's mother (or 10 minutes with Jade) I think I'd have walked too!

I'm too old, too wasp, too middle-class and just too busy to understand what motivates graffiti artists to risk life and limb in pursuit of their thing... but I often love their work and (yes, yes, I know it's illegal) it so often makes a dull place interesting. I used to pass this one at Vauxhall every day on my way to work and it's still as striking as the first day I saw it. Whoever created it I just want them to know that I really appreciate this free gift and I'm glad the London Transport Police haven't been able to get their bleach on it. Can't get Jamie Lidell's Multiply out of my head today. He deserves to be a big star.

heston blumenthal's black forest gateau

...takes two or three days to prepare. It involves using a dyson, several plastic bags, a cocktail shaker, paint rollers and trays, an aerosol spray, lots of banging things on counters and sweat. This homage to Seventies kitsch cooking takes so much effort to make that you would actually lose weight just making it. However, I think Heston is missing a trick here. All the layers in his gateau have a perfectly acceptable, ready made, authentically 1970s equivalent which means you could knock together a Blumenthaley-stylee-gateau in about ten minutes and save a load of money. So here is my alternative recipe: For the biscuit base - use two or four Jaffa Cakes (this saves you having to make the apricot compote) Place a bar of milk chocolate Aero on the top of the base Add a layer of chocolate Instant Whip Add some cherries (glace or tinned) Add a good thick slice of chocolate Swiss Roll which has been soaked in kirsch Add another Aero (optional) Add another layer of Instant Whip Add some
