It has been a year - and I am still as grumpy as ever

It has been a year since I was last here and a lot has happened. Mostly bad. But I shall now pick up again where I left off.... well sort of.

Let's start with this week's irritations.

1. Why do "celebrities" (my most hated word) seem to think that because they have been in a few films, made a fool of themselves on reality TV or just bared their boobs to the world it somehow qualifies them to pontificate on matters of national importance?

2. And why do even serious newspapers like the Telegraph give them column inches?

The latest example is Hugh Grant (by his own admission here, a one-trick pony) who now apparently believes he is qualified to tell the Metropolitan Police how they should be conducting the NoW phone hacking inquiry. Telegraph

Coming soon ..... Wayne Rooney sets out a new peace plan for the Middle East, Katie Price explains the flaws in Stephen Hawking's theories on dark matter and following his intervention in the Raoul Moat stand-off Paul Gascoigne offers to help negotiate the release of the woman kidnapped in Kenya and being held by Somali pirates.
