I’m back. On the tennis court. Where I belong. Where I can’t do much damage. Other than to myself, obvs. Because its happened. Precisely 3 months and 3 days after having my shoulder replaced with a shiny (literally) new one, I was back on court. Fitter, faster, keener and about 3 months and 3 days – Read More-
There’s a new… a new bad thing. Legislative. Not a crime but something you don’t want. Like a sin, but not as much fun. Not criminal but something you wouldn’t want appearing against your Linkdin file. It’s called a(n) ‘NCIH’. And its pronounced “nekiyyehhh”. Ok, its an acronym so you don’t really need to pronounce – Read More-
Ironically, Texas is possibly the easiest place to acquire guns in the world. You just walk into a shop, buy as many as you like and they apply for a ‘license’ for you.

Stella McCartney’s summer collection. There’s loads of restaurants and the whole ‘fine dining’ thing was a move to liberate the pretentious from as – Read More-
Yesterday was the final day of the 2021/22 Premier League Season. In case you missed that. Or weren’t aware. And it was, in the final matches, all played together at 4 o’clock, even for those who’ve been forced to watch in excess of 14,572 games so far this year, it was spectacular. Down to the – Read More-
So what do you do in a heatwave? You play tennis. Oh, can’t do that. Well, I can soon, as the doc informed me. Gently (what the fuck does that even mean? If you’re ‘gentle’ then its not ‘sport’, but I shall try) and progressively, but I could be back within weeks. Its been so – Read More-
Just had to post this photo today. Not just because this 1955 Mercedes 300 SLR has just become the most expensive car ever, at £114million, not even because Mercedes only ever made two of them, one for racing and this one, not EVENNNNN because it had a straight-8 engine, giving it a bonnet the length – Read More-
