For no particular reason MoL yesterday made a list of household objects it likes (short) and a much longer one of those disliked including: tea towels; oven gloves; nail scissors; blue wiping-up cloths; soap dishes; washing-up liquid bottles; kitchen roll; any cereal packet; bags for life; most bottle openers; anything stored under the sink. MoL believes Francis Bacon’s greatest work of art was the chaos of his studio. MoL does not believe in OCD. MoL prefers the term manic depressive to bi-polar. It is almost essential these days for celebrities and celeb journalists to have a disorder to parade. Stephen Fry is hugely bi-polar but (unfairly) never appears on television unless up. MoL would like to run a depressive channel for stand-up funny men when they are down. MoL believes in the tyranny of comedy. MoL considers all tennis players boring. The point is which are the interesting-boring ones. So far it suggests: Sampras boring-boring; Lendl interesting-boring; McEnroe boring-boring (listen to his phone-ins); Borg interesting-boring; Connors we can’t decide about: probably so unappealing he became interesting; Federer – the boredom of perfection; Murray boring-boring (mother) but borderline interesting since the Lendl connection; Henman beyond boring (sorry); Boom-boom Boris falls in the interesting category less for tennis achievements than tax problems, wives problems, sex in restaurant cupboards, real estate problems and the fact he speaks better English than the English commentators. Agassi boring-boring (disastrous dress/hair sense) but generally better since Steffi and he has an interesting story of how he beat Boris. He worked out which side Boris would serve because when he threw the ball up in the air he stuck out his tongue in the direction he was going to hit it.
