Quid pro quo…

Well it works both ways!!! That’s the way of the world. This equality thing. Glass ceilings are moving upwards, women can vote, even drive, in some countries, though generally not that well. In all countries. There’s equality in jobs, wages and opportunities. Which means that in some jobs, like, f’rinstance, female impersonator, they are miles – Read More-

back to bite you…

The ever wily Boris Johnson managed to start a war in Ukraine just to deflect from the inquiry into Covid abuses at Number 10. And its been a very successful ploy. 24 hours is a long time in politics so in 35 days that’s sufficient political time for glaciers to move a mile. Sadly though, – Read More-

And it goes to…

Amazing! The Oscar ceremony took place on Sunday night, this time they held it in Plaistow, just for a change. But it was the same old ‘Hollywood glamour’ as our favourite stars put on a collective $47million worth of clothes, begged, borrowed or stolen from designers eager to show how their clothes can lamb up – Read More-

Just Biden his time…

What do you do with people who are too old to be of much use to society but too young for a direct flight to Dignitas? It’s an ever-increasing problem as the world’s population ages creating a massive burden on the young to keep health services and pension plans sufficiently functional. So what do you – Read More-

Turnoff…

It just doesn’t get any more exciting than this! England playing… errrrr… I think Switzerland at Wembley… tonight? Possibly tomorrow morning, maybe not. We’ve already qualified for the World Cup finals so one has to ask: who gives a fuck? Certainly not me. I’m not saying the World Cup is not without its thrills. Gareth – Read More-

Snub…

Jamaica wants to have a new ‘head of state’! In the most controversial snub since… for a long time, the Prime Minister told William and Kate that ‘he wanted no truck with that bejewelled old hag in Buckingham Palace’. In so many words. They want… a different head on their stamps! Possibly Usain Bolt’s, probably – Read More-

Innit…

It used to be that ‘you are what you eat’. Which made me chopped liver and Cadburys chocolate. Which in turn I had difficulties conceptualising. But now, in the UK, it is more a case of ‘you are how you speak’. Because how you act can only get you so far, particularly in Britain, the – Read More-

Next level…

Everything has levels. That’s rather profound. Equally, meaninglessly generalised and without context, worthless. So we’ll think of some contexts. Firstly, Spurs. Yesterday. West Ham. 3-1. That was a next level. I’m just not sure if it was a next level up for us, or one down for them. Don’t really care either way, in that – Read More-

White t-shirts Anonymous…

Hi, my name’s Andy. Hi Andy. I haven’t worn a white t-shirt for 3 weeks now! 21 days, ‘clean’. Yaaay, whooop, whaaaaa, all that pseudo-American celebratory bollocks. But today, as you can see, I fell off the wagon. Oooooohhhhhh. The thing is, I pretty much live in white t-shirts. I wear one for tennis, I – Read More-

warming…

What happened to all the leg-warmers? I don’t mean ‘why aren’t they available?’, that’s fairly obvious. They were about as useful as a wind-deflector on the boot of your Vauxhall Viva. I mean where did all the old ones go? There were millions of pairs knocking round the world, always within 3 metres of a – Read More-
