About 6 months ago we went with friends to a Turkish restaurant. Not any Turkish restaurant because we travelled all the way so we could eat Turkish food in its natural environment. Palmers Green. And there, on Green Lanes, are 15 Turkish restaurants. All big, bright and bustling with people. Mainly Turks, but a few – Read More-
Issa funny ole game is football. We love it and yet… and yet… it has a unique and stupid model based on greed, self-serving narcissists and horrendous parasites known as ‘super-agents’. Which sounds a bit James Bond, something of a Jack Reacher, but in fact its generally some fat greasy dago type whose just pocketed – Read More-
So Brett Kavanaugh; serial sex offender or much-maligned judicial giant-to-be? Personally, I don’t really care. But others do. Many many others. Who seem to be divided thus: if you’re a democrat anti-Trumpster, then Brett is the devil incarnate, guilty of much molestation and more machismo manhandling as a young man. Whereas if you’re a Republican, – Read More-
Road deaths have risen as almost all drivers ignore the new 20mph speed limits imposed on some busy areas. So said the headline. Implying that the deaths were possibly caused by speeding motorists. I see it differently. I think that those deaths are of the drivers who actually DO slow down to 20mph where instructed. – Read More-
Well I’ll be blown! (Whatever that means). Ruslin Boshirov is NOT an innocent civilian Russian person of innocence and civility, who was over here for a 2-day, whirlwind tour of some of the finest parts of Salisbury Cathedral and its legendary spire. Who’d’a thought?? He said he was. On Russian tv. Mr Poot’n said he – Read More-
I would never buy a bright pink bike. Even though there’s probably feminists and certainly ‘trans-activists’ lining up right now to accuse me of some kind of ‘rape!’ just for saying that. But I would ride on one. At least the lorries might see the fucking thing. But I didn’t buy it. It’s currently one – Read More-
I would never willingly, knowingly, consciously, ‘watch’ an awards show. Not the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Dog-of-the-year show or even Footballer of the Year. Of which there seem to be about 9. The BBC one, the viewers one, the FA one… It’s not that I’m opposed to ranking a group of peers on the merits of – Read More-
No-one knows the Labour party’s position on Brexit. Labour don’t know the Labour party’s position on Brexit. Kier Starmer, the shadow Brexit minister, or ‘old dead eyes’ as I like to think of him, continuously maintains that they’d just ‘negotiate a much better deal’ without actually mentioning what that might entail. And certainly never ever – Read More-
Let’s talk football. I wanna talk about football. I love football. It’s the best game ever, its the finest… thing, the most wonderful… other thing… I just love it! So no prizes for guessing that Spurs won yesterday. In one of the most delightful performances (never saw a moment) and totally dominant play (not even – Read More-
When do you not mind the rain? Ok, when its nighttime and you’re in, that’s fine. ‘Good for the garden’. And the (only) other time is when you’re supposed to be playing tennis but can’t find anyone to play with. Then the rain’s good. Because you (errrr, or ‘me’, probably) don’t feel you’ve missed out. – Read More-
