I should probably add: ‘as it becomes more obese and heart-clogged, its eating more meat’, but that wasn’t part of the study I read so I’ll leave it out for statistical purposes.

Ok, so I couldn’t play tennis yesterday as there was an inch of frozen ice covering the courts. Which, rather pissily, is still there this morning.

Then the best news ever on Friday: Korea had lost in the Asian Cup to Qatar (no allegations or implications at all here, I’m sure those Qataris are all little Messis-of-the-desert, – Read More-
I saw the best film ever made last night. No two ways about it, no competition, you can argue from now til hell freezeth over about the runners up; Godfathers and Star Wars and Gone with the fucking Winds, but ‘Vice’ is just… brilliant. And who’d’a thought?? It’s about Dick Cheney. Who? Yeah, we all – Read More-
