In the video for Take it Away, Paul McCartney had Ringo Starr on drums(naturally), George Martin, formerly the Beatles producer on keyboards and playing the" impresario" mentioned in th song wsa John Hurt. The ubiquitous Susie Silvie has a cameo appearance as a party guest-blink and you'd miss her)

Very surprising to see a placard at yesterday's Jewish demonstration against Jeremy Corbyn saying "DAYENU" which is Hebrew for "enough." Did you knew that It actually comes from the Haggadah, the book we use for the Seder night during Passover(that starts this Saturday) and forms the basis of a song about what God gave to us and how it was dayenu-enough for us. Clever use of the word by the demonstrators.

We are one year from leaving. Better get some drinks in.

The now publicity hound and former page 3 girl Katie Price(aka Jordan) is the 'celebrity' to both appear on and be put into BBC1's show Room 101 - (this is from George Orwell's book 1984 where rebels against the state are put into a Room 101 this contained your worst fears or phobias)-and where celebrities place things they really hate or don't like.
