The denial is obvious, masqueraded (badly) by pretentiousness. I mean he’s an oil broker! So he kept repeating to convince himself. I say, ask his wife, kids and closest friends let’s see what they have to say about his ‘moderate’ drinking.
I love listening to Davina’s podcast. She has such amazing guest but she constantly interrupts the guest to talk about herself and they lose their train of thought. I was so interested in Brian Cox’s interview but she constantly interrupted him and we would never hear the end of what he was talking about.
Great podcast, loved the recent episode with Richard Bacon, so honest and genuine, love him and Davina.

Likes being earnest for an hour now that’s she’s getting on a bit and gaining some reflection.

Then to my surprise this week I noticed she was on be... more
