Summary

Giles has modified his coffee intake and is ready to tackle the pressing issues of the week.

First up, say it loud say it proud – Jew! Easier said than done for some…but why is that? Could “People of Nose” be a better option?

The touchy-feely millennial generation may actually be the hardest of the lot; they’re embracing the potential return of the death penalty.

After being overheard making sexual comments Wynn Evans left the strictly live tour to “priorities my wellbeing.” Esther has little sympathy, but Giles wonders about the BBC’s casting policy – “We’d like a blokey bloke please…oh god not one like that!”

Finally, what is the secret to a good face lift? Don’t have one is Esther’s tip but is it too late for Gwyneth Paltrow and other multi-millionaires..?
