Further to my post of the other day re the Celebrity Quiz/ Media bandwagon I've just clicked on an article detailing the contestants (?) for I'm a Celebrity All Stars line-up ...Gemma Collins, Scarlett Moffat, Beverley Callard, Adam Thomas, Sinitta etc , etc. I think you get the picture.

Try reading a book and improve your powers of expression which are clearly very limited at the moment as is your grasp of both punctuation and the use of capitals

Patsy Kensit being thick is a problem to whom ;-)

Exactly, her and Jenny Powell don’t get hired for these shows because they are potential Mastermind contenders, they’re eye candy for gentlemen of a certain age
It actually turned out after Kensit was on Who Do You Think You Are that we’re vaguely related through her Irish mother
So had to drop her from the wank bank for ethical/Deliverance reasons

Possibly, but I always thought the rule is that if you can take the words between the commas out and the sentence still makes sense, then commas are correct. It's also apparently correct to use them before words like who and which.

Also the word 'which' should be used to separate a non-essential clause from the other part of the sentence. So the sentence 'Harry was driving his car, which he bought from his friend' is the correct use of 'which'.

In your sentence, the two clauses about punctuation and powers of expression are clearly linked, meaning 'that" is the proper usage.

It should read '
