The Parish Counsel

In which we tackle bothersome youngsters, count Obama's Twitter followers, are unsurprised by the Radio Times poll, review Dave Gorman and Panorama on the telly and ramp up The Pretend iPod. 

In which more American food is pursued, the Northampton Clown isn't funny, paywalls don't pay, Courtney Love is in a hole, the telly is reviewed and we stoke up The Pretend iPod.

In which we are tempted by Californian ice-cream, buy a new phone, wave goodbye to Weiner, worry about the BBC, review Harvest 2013 and lay some vibes on The Pretend iPod.

In which tipping causes grief, the Galaxy Gear watch is examined, Kevin Spacey is challenged, Tony Hadley joins us for lunch, Sleb Masterchef is reviewed and The Pretend iPod builds.
