Wall Of Fame – David Walliams Takes It Hard And Fast Up The Twitter
I GOT a chance to watch David Walliams, the UK’s official gay-for-pay ambassador (after Russell Brand) hosting his new tabloid panel show, Wall Of Fame on SKY 1 HD.
Essentially, David is a dry, hetero-flexible host with good punchlines and visual jokes, like his burning cactus (that is not an STI reference).
This is completely new territory for Walliams. Viewers see a new side to him – the strategic, driven and focused star drawing the panel and his guests out into the pop cultural fray to take the piss. He adds class to the usual news quiz format.
My attention was held as the wall of 25 photos and videos lit up and flickered. David acted queer and special guests Billie Piper and Mrs. Robinson-esque political wife Sally Bercow added to the impression of watching the lounge at a suburban party of city emigrants.

Hoxton’s Harry Monk Films People Flashing And Peeing In Hoxton: Video
IN the uber-pisstaking Hoxton area of London, a man called Harry Monk, of Cranwood Court overlooking Vince Street, has erected a camera to catch people urinating. Monk is no pervert looking for sick thrills. Monk is man upset by people using the areas as a toilet. So far he has captured 11 revellers from nearby pubs and clubs weeing, including footage of one woman’s bare bottom.
Says Monk in the Hackney Gazette:“I feel disgusted, angry, distressed, resigned that people are doing this underneath my home. I’m incredulous that people behave this way – surely they have been drinking at some local establishment, so why not use the toilet there? It is like they leave the pub or club they are drinking in to use the street as a toilet.”

Daily Mail Lambastes Terry Pratchett’s TV Suicide Show While Advertising Duncan Bannatyne’s Twitter Suicide
IN Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die, Peter Smedley, 71, committed assisted suicide. He had motor neurone disease. He had gone to Switzerland to die at an euthanasia clinic.
The Daily Mail sees its chance to hit the BBC. It talks of hundreds of complaints. Complaints are the barometer of righteousness. The more complains, the more wrong the thing is and the more demanding of more outrage.
The money quote soon comes:
Nola Leach, chief executive of CARE, said: ‘I rather thought that we had moved on from the days when people gathered in crowds to watch other people die.
