day, I have mostly been wondering whether Meryl Streep will be attending Mrs T’s funeral, while the lunatics in my office are hysterical about who will be on the Granta Best of British list announced tonight. Tey’ve been lobbying John “Godot” Freeman to give the nod to our most wunder of wunderkinds for the last year with everything from fine wines to sexual favours, but to no avail. To my mind, it’s all a tremendous

fuss just for some names drawn out of a pretentious sorting hat. Will anyone who isn’t on Jamie Byng’s speed-dial really care? We all know it’ll be a list that comprises the following: three people you’ve never heard of, seven you WISH you’d never heard of, two authors of wildly hyped and massively underperforming novels, one person you thought was dead, two authors “discovered” by Lee Brackstone in a Shoreditch skip and three authors who have interesting facial hair. One of whom is a man. Anyway—here are your joining
instructions for LBF 2013. Tink of me as the Iron Daisy, i.e. never wrong. In the unlikely event of the LBF having to stop—like if Ed Victor’s beard catches fire, Jonny Geller runs out of hype or the sadness of Baroness Tatcher’s death becomes overwhelming—please note where the emergency exits are situated. Vital fair tips for day one:
TRAVEL. All London taxis are available to LBF delegates free of charge. Simply hail one as normal, state your destination and when you arrive, say the magic words: “Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner that I love London Town” and then run away. DRESS CODE. Hieronymus Bosch or Gone Girl. A prize if you combine the two. MEETING TIMES. Very approximate. Please arrive
fashionably late—about 20 minutes should do it. Any earlier is just showing off. DEAL. When you close a deal at the fair please shout very loudly and then remove an item of clothing. Te agent who gets naked first wins dinner with Alan Samson. SMILING. Always with your mouth and never with your eyes. WEDDING. To celebrate the merger of Penguin and Random House, Dame Gail Rebuck will be marrying Tom Weldon at noon today at St Paul’s Cathedral. Attendance is mandatory—shredded copies of Pippa Middleton’s Celebrate and Lee Mack’s autobiography will be mixed together as confetti. BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT. Her Majesty Te Queen is hosting a casual cocktail party for all LBF delegates at Buckingham Palace tonight at 7pm. Entry via the front gate on production of your fair badge. CLUB CRAWL. Michael Fishwick and Patrick Walsh will be your tour guides through the myriad parties arranged for your alcoholic pleasures tonight. Please meet at the Groucho post the Palace for cocktails. Te tour will conclude at 6.30 a.m. on Tuesday at Charing Cross Police Station. Bring £500 in cash, a change of
underwear and an open mind. Follow me on twitter @missdaisyfrost
