REUTERS<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan. I was very slightly drunk and already upset about something that had nothing to do with you,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it\u2019s any comfort, I got it in the neck too. I\u2019m a thin-skinned t\u2013t, apparently, even though it wasn\u2019t my skin. I was sticking up for the writers who I adored.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously I shouldn\u2019t have cited Bach\/Kahlo\/Moore \u2014 asking for trouble \u2014 and would have done better to go for the 10,000\u00a0blues songs\u00a0written around the same 12 bar chord structure.<\/p>\n British journalist Janet Murray wrote an article about her experience online after Laurie roasted her.<\/p>\n Laurie offered his apologies to Murray in a lengthy\u00a0tweet.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve listened to most of them and will keep doing so.

Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies. Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again. Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn\u2019t get fired. Eight seasons of this?\u201d she wrote\u00a0on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n
