We need the rain. We need water. The reservoirs are depleted, the rivers running dry, the crops desiccating and my lawn looks like shit. But why does it have to fall on Thursday? Or Lila-day as its known round here? Though I must add that Lila really doesn’t mind the rain. Is barely aware that – Read More-
Another week, another England sporting superstar in trouble for the English malaise. Getting pissed and fighting with whoever is around at the time. Obviously, we can’t include England cricket star Ben Stokes in that really now as he has been found completely ‘innocent’ of all charges. And that, quite honestly, is backed up by some – Read More-
Cars don’t break down any more. People do, but cars, over the last 40 years, have become so much more reliable and dependable. There was a time when you wouldn’t leave home on a road trip without AA cover, a pair of tights (in case the fanbelt ‘went’, which they often did), a large vessel – Read More-
Ahhhh, Jezza. They keep diggin’ and they keep striking gold in them thar hills of old news releases. Where were you in 2014, Jezza? I was at home watching Arsenal, I remember it distinctly. We beat… errr… we beat Shrewsbury 7-2 in the league… CUP!… But we have photos of you in Tunisia laying wreaths – Read More-
Its over. The football season. The beginning of the football season is over. First matches all been played. Are the results in any way ‘representative’ of what’s to follow? Do they offer any viable predictive value for the 37 following matches? Or are we in that grey area where the players are still ‘on holiday’ – Read More-
Our beloved Harry Kane, leader of the line for the one and only Tottenham Hotspur, captain of this fine nation’s almost best ever national football team and man of all (Premiership) seasons, has faced some tough scrapes in his life. He played for Millwall FFS where just arriving at the car park is a trauma. – Read More-
Its interesting just how… interesting, some lives can be. Makes you wonder how you can do so much in so little time. Take, f’rinstance, Lewis Ludlow (who???), the man accused of plotting a terrorist attack on Oxford Street, Madame Tussaud’s or St Pauls, aiming to murder ‘about 100’ (not sure of the maths involved in – Read More-
Lila was sent home from ‘school’ on Tuesday. Selling drugs behind the pram-sheds. Singing football songs in prayers. She beat up a little boy who stole her Lego; she used the Ben Stokes ‘self defence’ plea but to no avail. Ok, she had a temperature. A hot one. That’s the real reason. And she’s been – Read More-
I would not choose to ban Boris Johnson. Even though he looks like a fat pink pig wearing a cheap blonde wig. Or a blow-up sex doll that’s been almost catastrophically over-inflated.(Denmark has banned him.) Ahhhhh, Boris Johnson. What do we do about Boris? However far he falls he just keeps grabbing the headlines, for – Read More-
I come to bury Ben, not to praise him… but… Ben Stokes is an England cricketer. Probably, currently, The England Cricketer. And much as you ‘can choose your friends but not your family’, so you can’t either choose who the greatest player of a generation, who is probably the only man in England who can – Read More-
