Recipe of the week

smithy's roasted beetroot: low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and generally nutritious and virtuous. This one-dish wonder is delicious and uses up some seasonal beets. What's not to like?

After noticing Andrew Ridgeley from Wham, and barely recognising him, I still can't help but think his relative normality sits better on a man of 46 than having fought to stay looking like a refugee from the Village People, as George Michael has for the last twenty years.

So which is better in your opinion? Raging against the dying of the light with the help of a wind tunnel, or letting it all hang out?

I tell you, Kerry - assuming that it's LC you're talking about - when we saw him in Dublin a few months ago he could have read out the bloody phone book and made it sound seductive. But he was singing those gorgeous, sexy, poetic words.

Am considering starting a petition to have him read the Shipping Forecast grin.

George Clooney is a mere child.

I have seen this man seduce every woman in a audience of 10,000 people. Myself included blush.

Lauren Bacall has aged beautifully, as has Catherine Deneuve. Raquel Welch, on the other hand, only looks good to piss people off...
