Funniest Thing I’ve Seen In Ages!
Last night, I sat and watched the 2006 Secret Policeman’s Ball for Amnesty International on Channel 4. It was pretty good, but the real highlight for me was David Armand’s performance of Natalie Imbruglia’s song “Torn” – all done in mime. I won’t spoil what happened on that show for you – you’ll have to […]

Ever tried organising a surprise party to be held in the house where the person who is being celebrated lives? It is far from easy! But that was the task facing my Dad, my Sister, Mhairi, and I on the run-up to our Mum’s birthday. Somehow, and I mean somehow, we managed to do it […]
Cameron’s Christening
So last Sunday, 29 January 2006, was the Christening of my youngest nephew, Cameron James MacNee.

I was very touched and very honoured to be asked to do […]
