No big American budget can buy this level of celebrity.
Thursday 19 December 1946 I went to London by the early train. I have now reached an age when any disturbance of routine is disagreeable, and I sat misanthropic, smoking cigars, while the train lost more and more time until it halted for three-quarters of an hour in a snowstorm just outside the Paddington station. I had time to try on a suit which has taken six months to make and then went to luncheon at the Beefsteak where I talked to Harold Nicolson and Clive Bell and drank enough wine to fuddle me slightly. In that condition I went to Duckworth and signed sixteen copies of When the Going was Good for Christmas presents. Also to the travel agency who are sending me to Hollywood. At 5 o’clock there was the Beefsteak committee meeting. My candidates Maurice Bowra, Ran Antrim and Randolph Churchill all got in the latter after long discussion in which 1 Hugh Sherwood made a spirited defence and overbore two men who had come with the firm purpose of blackballing him. During the meeting I drank a lot of whisky and went rather drunk to a cocktail party given by John Murray’ where I got very drunk. Rose Macaulay attempted a serious conversation in which I did not shine. I spent most of the time with Hermione Ranfurly jeering at people who were introduced to me and ended by bearing off a diminutive man called Gibbings to White’s for champagne cocktails. From then my memory is vague but I went to bed early I think at the Hyde Park Hotel.
Happy 78th anniversary to this diary entry from Evelyn Waugh, in which he drinks enough to hospitalise at least three of me:

It has been quite the year, so as a distraction from all that here are my WTF TV news moments from 2024 ✨

It was such a relief to see different people & to think of the possibility of reading novels & drinking wine again.
Autumn fungi everywhere
Cover of colditz dvd
Greatly enjoying DVD boxset of Colditz, though the studio lighting of the castle courtyard could have been better. Chaps in uniform, top notch, inc. Peter Penry-Jones (father to Rupert).
