Finish marathon phonecall to deranged illiterate marketing droid. Decide brief chocolate-raisin-break is in order. Pick up this morning's Grauniad. Flip to G2. Briefly flick through ranting about Cherie's alternative-therapy nutters and assorted other snippets. Turn, all unwitting, to page 8. Jump in fright as am confronted with bloody great photo spread of Will Straw looking boggle-eyed and soaking wet in a fetching anorak-and-placard ensemble on the recent students' fees demo. It's the bloody 'Style' section! The headline is 'The new Mr Darcy?'! There's an inset photo of Colin Firth!

I wonder how Will feels to have been labelled 'true political totty'? This is the chap who chaired our college JCR meetings for a year, to whom I was once really rather rude though I forget how and why (I had a good reason which then turned out to be mistaken), who I still sometimes see when hanging about in town. People I know aren't supposed to be labelled major sex symbols!

What are we coming to?

I still don't get this. 'There are likely to be people from Combat 18 in Oxford next week, so watch out, oh and by the way here's something you can do about it'... The house next door is private and expensive, but if it were on fire, I'd be keen to know.
