Broadsheet wishes to apologise to Ivor Callelly for implying that he was a lying douchebag with the ethics of Richard III. We applaud his High Court victory and are delighted to see we’re not like those savages across the pond who throw naughty pols in the chokey. We have donated a substantial sum to his tailor.

Fitzpatrick was part of Derek Quinlan’s consortium purchasing the Savoy Hotel group, which included Claridge’s, above. Among the investors was Paddy McKillen.
Seanie recalls: “I know nothing about hotels. I am looking around the place. Paddy McKillen said [he] was down in the car park last night and you know what, the ceiling is eighteen feet high. I said, What does that mean? he said, What does that mean? That means we could put a gym or bar in there, Sean, instead of a car park.
‘And then you know we have Joe Bloggs in there cutting hair, fuck him out and we get in Fabiola. Then there is a jeweller down there called John Doe, fuck him out and we will get in Cartier. The guys were bang, bang, bang.”

‘I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it. When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily that I should have been in that band— or at least a Pixies cover band. We used their sense of dynamics, being soft and quiet and then loud and hard.’

British space scientists have put forward a detailed proposal to the European Space Agency to to send a probe to Uranus.
It would give scientists their first close-up views of Uranus since NASA’s Voyager 2 flew past and captured fleeting pictures 25 years ago.
The £400million mission is designed to go in orbit to study the rings around Uranus and answer questions such as why it gives off so little heat.
