Wendy - acumen??? Exchellenteh. I once went to an embassador's reception and I fully expected the ferrero rochers to be presented in a pyramid serving arrangement. Kathryn - Only if he serves you on a dish at your soireez. Katy - I will not talk to you about Giles Coren. Ed - It's ok to not watch TV. But watching it and appearing on it and claiming not to know about it is Clever. Peach - I am also talking about wankers; that is correct.

Best ask the Ambassador to call off the Rocher. Although I doubt the clever-clever would be particularly au fait with our dining habits anyway. Righty-ho, mother!

Once again you've demonstrated acumen, astuteness and perspicacity worthy of such a discerning audience. Hurrah! Nibbles would never have occured to me as a cleverer-than-thou word, but you’re right.

He certainly knows a lot about movies (that's his stock in trade), but he freely admits he knows a helluva nothing about TV, popular culture, football, and many other subjects. Oh and, Cliff, it's Stuart (with a "u") Maconie - can I join the Cleverati now? As someone who listens to Mark Kermode’s weekly Radio 5 Live movie podcast, I would like to defend the be-quiffed one.
