Family Fortunes: My dad ruined my autograph book but I treasure his message now

In the late 1940s, when I was about 14 years of age, it was the height of fashion among us schoolgirls to own an autograph book. These books were usually about 8in by 5in, with a hard cardboard cover and pages of different colours: pink, blue, green, cream and beige.

If Adele hates fame so much, why doesn’t she just clear off?

I like Adele.I like her songs, I like her voice, I like her look and her attitude and just about everything about her apart from her brain.Because the jelly-like substance between her ears which she’s supposed to use to think, using a handy system of neurons and electrical impulses, is misfiring so badly you could only improve it by adding whipped cream, chocolate flakes and a spoon.You see, Adele hates fame. She finds it “frightening” and “toxic”, she thinks it won’t last and it’s meaningless and mad and in all of that she is entirely correct.
