I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Huzzah! They've changed it this year, it's a bit more modern than last year's.
I am a sad man.
More signs of impending Christmas:
- The Sun runs its first story of the year in which a mother claims the talking doll she bought for her child came loaded with a foul-mouthed phrase
- A school's decision to stage something other than a Nativity play translates in the tabloids as 'SCHOOL BANS CHRISTMAS'
- Companies make big-budget commercials in the hope that they'll get lots of free publicity.
- *cough*

I really really hate the Sky background music (I've switched it off).
