I'm still occasionally surprised when I see this byline photo above a guardian article by Duncan Campbell (1944), until I remember that he's a different guy from the the other one

From John Colville's diary:
"After lunch the PM forestalled Irving Berlin asking leading questions by himself addressing them to his potential interlocutor (e.g. "When do you think the war will end, Mr Berlin?"), this I thought was an ingenious technique. Berlin said he thought Roosevelt would get in at the coming presidential election, and in this his name should help him because in all Republican systems human nature triumphed over constitutional principle and the hereditary system came into its own. This also applied to our own Labour Party in which the wife or son of a well known MP was always in demand as a parliamentary candidate.
It later transpired that the reason Mr Berlin had bee bidden to lunch was a comic misunderstanding. There are sprightly, if somewhat over-vivid, political summaries telegraphed home every week from the Washington Embassy. The PM inquiring who wrote them, had been told by me "Mr Isaiah Berlin, Fellow of All Souls and Tutor of New College." When Irving Berlin came over to entertain the troops with his songs, the PM confused him with Isaiah and invited him to lunch - and conversed with him, to his embarrassment, as if he had been Isaiah.

I don't get the two mixed up but when I'm trying to think of Isaiah's name I always think of Irving first.

Had a somewhat confusing conversation with somebody over the weekend and today I finally figured out the I was talking about "Hair" and he must have been talking about "Hairspray."

When I was in college I conflated the American comic novelist Thomas Berger with the serious British novelist John Berger. I still haven't quite separated the authors of Being Invisible and Lilac and Flag in my head.

Florence Henderson and Barbra Billingsley. When my husband told me that Henderson died yesterday, my response was that she must've been like 100 years old.

Thinking the IT crowd girl Katherine Parkinson had graduated to cohosting baking shows with Sue Perkins though somehow doubiting it a bit when I saw she still had red hair in Humans. But they do look very similar don't they?

Ah, okay, looked it up, I see.
Also means or meant "bush," as in Coleridge's "The ivy tod is heavy with snow."

Actually it says tod also means brock, so someone called Tod Brock , would be one of those "double namers" or whatever they are called.
