I’m normally very cynical and skeptical about scientific research. Not all of it, obviously. When they make cars go faster, that’s brilliant. New drugs, either for heart failure or for ‘recreational’, fantastic. I’m cynical because there seems to be so much research (a good thing, so you’d think) about such a load of bollocks (a – Read More-
How tragic it seems that on the very day the town of Mosul is finally freed from the dark and tortuous clutches of ISIS, another terrorist group announces its evil intentions to the world. Not that the ISIS story is in any way over, because the seed, the poison, the evil and murderous ideology is – Read More-
After the rugby yesterday, I played tennis with the younger daughter. Nothing unusual about that except we were brilliant. And normally… one of us, sometimes isn’t. But yesterday, in the searing heat and horrible humidity, sheer brilliance. And then I watched Roger Federer. He’s 83 years old (so you’d believe if you listened to the – Read More-
So every day I get photos. Natalie’s obsessed with photographing her daughter and sharing and I’m obsessed with seeing them. Its become an epidemic.

So a widow phones the Jewish Chronicle to place an obituary for her husband. What would you like to say? ‘Morry Goldberg. Died’ That’s it? ‘Yes’ No ‘loving father, wonderful husband, missed by…’ He was a terrible father, awful husband and everyone hated him. Well you might as well say something else, the first 6 – Read More-
Iss’all abart the workers. Everything. The Corbyn way. The distinction is a subtle one. ‘Workers’ are not professionals. So Doctors in the NHS may not be included, for their 97-hour weeks, because they do a bit of private consulting on a Sunday. Workers is workers! Bus drivers, coal-miners, dirt-diggers. Teachers are professionals but for some – Read More-
The Grenfell Tower saga enters several more stages of lunacy as what started as a simple humanitarian tragedy was first stolen by the Corbynites as a political issue, who then elevated it to virtual accusations of ‘rich people murdering the poor’ and now its being hijacked from the Lefties by the racists. Not, like ‘racists’ – Read More-
I’d just like to point out that the current All Blacks team is not weak, average or even merely ‘ok’. Like all their teams, they are outstanding. Every player. Their method of play. Their link-ups. Its all and always, the best there is. Just thought I’d get that out there before someone pipes up with – Read More-
Things you don’t expect from the geezer filling up your car at the Chevron on Hollywood Blvd in 1981: Ability to speak English Ability to be English Any intelligence whatsoever A sense of humour So as I stood there fillin’ up the old Cadilacs and Pontiacs and Chevies with ‘unleaded’ and regular, wearing my rather – Read More-
