This is one of my favourite Never Mind the Buzzcocks scenes.

Most magazines are full of Kate Middleton. Some of those are trying to copy her elegant yet youthful style. Well...whatever, they've forgotten William - who looks slick most, if not all, of the time (it's quite easy when you can get your clothes cut by some of the best tailors in the world). Esquire's given us a breakdown on how to achieve this, and it's not cheap. I would never substitute a Gieves & Hawkes suit with a Paul Smith though, and if you pay a full £360 for Church shoes you're a mug.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
but in ourselves, that we are underlings"

So snow is on its way to London, having touched much of the North and West overnight. No doubt this will cripple the transport networks and make most pavements into temporary ice rinks, but at least everything looks amazing in a dazzling blanket.

It is now completely clear that the next England manager should be Harry Redknapp whenever Fabio Capello leaves the post. It would be ludicrous if he would never get the opportunity to manage the country - his country - given his superb experience and proven record for how he gets the most out of players.

That said, the English FA have nearly always made a 'safe' choice, giving the job to somebody who won't rock the boat. Unfortunately that rules out some of the best managers there are, and have ever been (Clough, Redknapp...and perhaps outlandishly...Mourinho?). I have no doubt that given the opportunity after 2012, perhaps after he has taken Tottenham as far as he can, Harry would take it with both hands.

This is all frivolous speculation, but important to get it in early.
