Many thanks everyone for entering the Winehouse v Cowell competition. I’ve selected a winner in each camp. So congratulations to ‘Henry’ for winning the Winehouse book and ‘Beny’ for winning the Cowell one. I’ll be in touch to arrange delivery. There will be a new competition very soon.

I’m going to take a few days off from blogging, so I thought I’d leave you with a quick round-up of recent posts you might have missed:

Firstly, have a read about Boycott Israel Campaign’s ugly protest. Am I right to be suspicious of the timing?

Also, what is the maddest thing anyone has ever said to you about Israel? Do share!

On a happier note, this is what I’ll be doing during Rosh Hashanah.

Speaking of which, I wish all my Jewish readers Shana Tova.

I’ll be back…
