I thought he divorced Jordan (the country).

Fail.

Just to return to the subject of tasteless subjects: domestic violence.
I bottled out of sending the following 'Correction'...

'Earlier we said that Dennis Waterman had hit his wife. In fact it was his knuckles that were rapped by a Rula.'

I did a one-liner on the subject, but it was a dig at his intelligence.

I know it's a different Justin Edwards, but I'm not sure they appreciated my tweet last night:

I appreciated it.
