Just back from a three-day meeting in NYC where I caught up with an old friend, MF (of racing night fame), for dinner. He’s had a glance through this blog and informed me that I’ve incorrectly stated in an earlier post that Madonna is only known as Madge in the UK. My many hours of covert reading of The National Enquirer and People Magazine in Los Angeles nail salons has somehow let me down when it comes to American celebrity nicknames. MF also informed me that the gay community has now taken this a step further and refers to Madge as Vadge, a line of thought I’ll pursue no further.
