I know what I like

Simon Mayo|09:33 UK time, Wednesday, 12 October 2011

All right here we go again. Wednesday is here and it's downhill from now on, all the way to the weekend. Although it might not feel like it just yet. Thanks for the best wishes and last night was spent at an appropriate restaurant . At times it felt like being in an episode of Outnumbered. It was the calls from home that did it really; homework issues, bedtime enquiries, supper negotiations that kind of thing. Mobile phone use at the table is poor show I know but there was no option really. Then Mrs M noticed that 2 members of One Direction were on a table near us. Pretending it was 'for our daughter' she rubbernecked for quite awhile. They didn't notice her as the 2 boys (Nobby and Randy I believe) spent the whole meal, heads down, on their phones. I would tell you what they ordered but my wife's head was in the way. Apparently Harry Redknapp was there too somewhere- now that would have been interesting. I'm sure he would have appreciated my smiles, waves and nods...

So today is Noel Gallagher day. Younger ears and sensitive listeners can rest assured that all Santa references have been excised and all that is left is a middle aged rocker, a guitar and a couple of songs. The 'High Flying Birds' of his band name turn out to be just him really. This is fine with me as the songs he sung were always my favourite of the Oasis oeuvre and he sings one of them tonight.

And songs on the subject of MODERN ART please. Tracey Emin is on the latest edition of Who Do You Think You Are which goes out tonight and that, frankly, is all the excuse we need.

Have an energetic and well-supported Wednesday, see you after 5
