Jamie Oliver - £280,000,000 Peter O'Toole - Nil

Didn't jog yesterday as it was raining but we were out there again this morning my poor old thighs on fire. Still, it makes breakfast so much more welcome and delicious.
As Paul Miller says in
my London life who's to say that Peter O'Toole doesn't have a point? He may have many good ones. If he had been more analytical in his condemnation of British Theatre and more bravely specific about those he blames (what has he got to lose?) and given some modern examples, he might have done us all a favour. He may even have found in his heart some praise for the occasional production which he had seen or great performance from a young actor who had chosen to work on the stage because he or she loved it. However he has allowed himself to be dismissed by the culpable by sounding like a raving old fool with a talent for invective. I conclude that he doesn't really care.

I agree. You have to admit the phrasing makes you smile though...
