So this is Giles Coren. He is a UK TV fixture and we were introduced this Christmas season. He is basically a food critic, and a charming guy.
.
I saw him on "Celebrity Mastermind" (more later).
.
He and Sue (Perkins - above) did a show where they eat like TV people - once as Edwardians - once as they did on a silly show from the 1970s where they grew there own food. Whatever.
.
Sue is a (shh....) lesbian - and I first totally though they were married to each other because they had a great raport.
.
The other show was "Celebrity MasterMind" where he answered questions on the comix "Asterix" before going to general knowledge.
.
He is cute AND smart!
Apparently he is also a little too loose with Twitter. Anyway - here is a mascot for anyone who has made a mistake - loudly.
.
I quote from "Wikipedia":

Mediawatch complaint over Twitter posting and other Twitter controversies
On 14 January 2010 Coren attracted criticism after he posted on his Twitter feed: "Next door have bought their 12-year-old son a drum kit. For fuck's sake! Do I kill him then burn it? Or do I fuck him, then kill him then burn it?" Vivienne Pattison, director of watchdog Mediawatch UK, condemned the remark as "very bad taste".[27][28] Coren later posted: "Oh hell's bells. Look, can I just say I didn't kill the kid, or have sex with him. And anyway he's not real. And I live in Vienna."[28]
He was also criticized for his comments regarding Sophie Dahl's cooking show, "The Delicious Miss Dahl". He posted on Twitter saying: "This Sophie Dahl show - what a crock of bogus, mendacious s**te. What a sickening sham. The BBC should be f***ing ashamed of itself."[29]
