Alan Titchmarsh, better known for painting sheds blue and bosom pal of Charlie’s dimmocks, was on the telly recently, describing the dung beetle’s arch enemy. According to Alan, the greater horseshoe bat waits for dusk, then pounces on the dung beetles as they take to the air in search of new pooh.

Vicki Butler Henderson once admitted on TV that she was so in love with the car that she has underwear with ‘Type R’ printed on the waist band. I can honestly say that VB-H’s nether regions were not in my mind when I tested the Honda Civic Type R last weekend but I will admit to emitting one of those squeals of joy that have become Vicki’s trademark.

The day after I left grammar school, in the summer before college, I started back at school but this time on the building site next door, constructing the school’s new extension. That job taught me a lot of useful lessons, such as how to drive a dumper truck, use F*** every third word and what page 3 girls look like.

To say my daughter isn’t addicted to her mobile phone is a bit like calling Jeremy Clarkson a shy introvert who never expresses an opinion. Seldom is there a time where her latest handset isn’t within arm’s length. The day phone marrow transplants come on the market, she’ll be at the front of the queue.

The brand new, sleek and black Mazda RX8 appeared in our drive yesterday. Exactly the sort of vehicle we like to park there, so we can pretend it’s ours.
