The Second Serve // Geoffrey Boycott’s Treacle Pudding

Originally the plan for this Bank Holiday issue was to send out a fun collection of famous people’s weird favourite recipes, then take the chance to sneak in a little holiday.

Sadly, that all got kicked into a cocked hat when the ITV/Schofield story broke late Friday afternoon and we realised we’d look absolutely insane if we ignored all of that in favour of sending you Geoff Boycott’s instructions for making the perfect treacle pudding.

There’s a lot to cover in the wider This Morning scandal. At the rate some of UK media’s biggest dipshits are running their mouths, there’ll be plenty of other very interesting side avenues to explore too – but it will require a fair bit of lawyering and finesse on our part.

So to bridge the gap we’ve recorded a little VIPbitch Happy Hour for you that covers some Schofield – and we’ll get you some extra gossip on all of that once we’ve run what we have past some wiser eyes…

Staff at ITV received an email this afternoon from their internal ITV cybersecurity team gently reminding all employees not to share their passwords with anyone.

We don’t know if leaving in the old boilerplate text in the email was a genuine accident, or if they’re deliberately trying to shit stir, but they told employees if they absolutely have to share their password with someone they need to “make sure you change it from ILovePhilandHolly123 to ILovePhilandHolly456 immediately”.

Last week saw quizzes on the themes of Men, Women, Children and Babies. This week’s we’re going for just pick’n’mix, grab-bag assortments. Random tunes sliced, diced and spliced together – leaving you to inspect the resulting mess.

You get a point for every song you correctly identify, and a point for every artist too. That’s ten songs a day for twenty points, a hundred over the course of the week
