Football’s back on. Today. Real football. Football that matters in my life. Defines my life. And today, following a stupidly long ‘international break’, the Premier League plays once more. I no longer have to suffer giving my quasi-support to England and having all the glory of 7-nil wins and fabulous, flowing play and winning games. – Read More-
That’s because I’m an Englishman. Or am I??? According to the Reform UK party current line, I may be ‘British’, but not fully ‘English’. Shame, because I love a full English. Yet Suella Braverman, whatever she eats for breakfast, remains firmly attached to this structure. She’s British, because she was born here, but not English – Read More-
Its October 7th. Ok, so yesterday was the 6th and tomorrow the 8th. But the 7th is the third anniversary of the attack by Hamas on southern Israel which killed 1200 people and resulted in 250 being taken hostage. So today is a painful day. Remembering the devastation, destruction and slaughter which took place. Yet – Read More-
Every morning, first thing, I check on the BBC. I’m not interested in how many planes have crashed, how many goals Harry Kane’s scored, how many new taxes Andy Burnham’s going to impose on me. Not now. That’s all for later. For now it’s about the weather. Just the weather. Specifically: the rainfall. And what – Read More-
I’m having the best time ever, here at the Green Party conference in Brighton. I took my green flag, then realised I needed a black, red, white and green one, like everybody else. Because we’re no longer really into renewables and carbons and saving the planet from eco-destruction in a cataclysmic greenhouse effect caused by – Read More-
I saw this picture on something or other and it is probably more representative of my young days than my ‘whole family’ barmitzvah photo. This was my life. Even back in the days when you ate your dinner rather than filmed it (setting up a tripod and lighting delayed eating too much to even consider), – Read More-
So when Man City come to play at your ground, you have to shout at the top of your voice: “CHEATS! CHEATS! CHEATS!”, then follow it immediately with “SUBJECT TO APPEAL!”, just to cover yourself. The irony being that if some of their 115 judgments are overturned on appeal, that’ll be seen as even more – Read More-
Its all about ‘care’. I care, you care, I need a carer, we’ll ALLL need lots’a care when we get ‘old’. Its what its all about. Andy Burnham’s dad was in a care home, my dad was in care home, Mel’s dad is in a care home waiting for… errrr… for whatever 100 year-olds wait – Read More-
As a devoted fan of Manchester Cit-eh, we need to have a little chat. I’ll include the Gallagher brothers in our chat along with a few other long-term die-hards, like me, who were actually fans of the club ‘before the billions arrived’. In the pre-Sheikh Mansoor days when we were just another middle-of-the-road, win-nothing, try – Read More-
It has begun!! The ‘take over’ of our world by non-humans. As AI teaches itself to take over the world, robots will become the ruling class!! Because they can be controlled by the AI machines which have no controls on them because it might affect Nvidia’s share price. Trump’s discussing it today with Xi Jinping, – Read More-
