This mans writing is a joy to behold.
I wish I could write like what he can do.
He survived an attempted mugging at the tote kiosk, a warm Guinness at the bar.
Does he judge them, does he bollocks. He lets the facts speak for themselves
"As I was hungry, I found a sweet stall, bought a Mint Aero. It was Impeccable.
True Class, he could have rammed it all down their throat and annihilated the place.
It must be nice when you recognise that someones work is not upto your own high standards to be able to take stock and overcome the temptation (if at all present) to go Na…na… na ……..nana.
No wonder he’s a SIR.
He may be a dab hand at flogging dog food, but when it comes to tipping winners, he’s hopeless.
I like his writing though. Very dry and witty.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
I love his writing, I love his appearances on Just A Minute, and as a fellow LibDemmer I love his politics also.
Do us a favour, Sir Clement, and live forever.

My sister was subjected to
the Clement Freud flirt
It was a sunny day
and it was Epsom.
She failed to divulge
which eye launched the first attackA genius who deserves the description.

Seconded.
Now here’s a proposition – Sir Clement Freud, Stuart Hall, Stephen Fry and Gamble all as guests at the same dinner table. I don’t think I’d stop beaming all night!

Not sure about Stuart Hall but maybe Sir Mark Prescott or Ginger McCain would be interesting dinner table guests
I’d quickly tire of the chauvinism and boorishness of the latter, Neil, and I don’t think whatever other qualities the former posseses would outweigh our considerable ideological differences.
Nah, I’m happy with my choices!

I am glad you included Stuart Hall
I myself have a rather large grandfather
and I have heard he is very much into clockshmm
It would be a grand place
and each sittng next to a column
with a duck on the tablehave a problem with Ginger McCain myself and wish they would stop bringing him out on Grand National day – don’t find his chauvinistic ramblings funny at all…however, his son seems lke a sound bloke…
Have to agree Moe. Poor old Ginger wouldn’t want me as his wife that’s for sure.
As for Clement Freud, the joke he told in yesterdays RP about the 2 nuns -Sister Mathematical and Sister Logical….lol!!!!!!!!!!….oh this cracked me up….I absolutely loved it. Hope you all did too

Ginger McCain interesting?
I knew of someone who
had occasion to
overnight at Mcain’s.
He does pour very generous doublesDo us a favour, Sir Clement, and live forever.
Given a privileged lifestyle that hasn’t been overburdened with too many days spent engaged in hard, honest, decent work, he probably stands a better chance than you!

As you’d be unlikely to have many chances to contribute to the conversation, considering the capacity of that particular combination to evacuate verbal diarrhoea, I can only think that your beaming visage would be the result of a pair of decent earplugs or some suitable blend of chemicals designed to assuage the aural pain.

Fine by me – they are invited on the strict understanding that they delight me with their waxing lyrical whilst I sit back or pour the wine.

Looks like erudition and witty repartit are still grounds for the death penalty on the IOM, then…
