Maybe there should be an Office of Office of Budget Responsibility Responsibility.

Ah, a proper radio legend. I enjoyed his 5Live shows in the 1990s. RIP.
Deeply sad to hear that the brilliant, legendary Brian Hayes has died at the age of 87. His contribution to British radio knew no bounds. While he didn't create the @lbc.co.uk phone-in, he perfected it after moving over from Capital Radio in the early days of ILR.....

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Playwright and cricket fan Tom Stoppard, who has died aged 88, wrote a famous speech in praise of the cricket bat in his play The Real Thing (1982), using the skilful creation of a bat as a metaphor for the writing of plays.
