France has a new president today. Emmanuel Macron, the youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte. How’d that one work out?? I wonder how, in future years, history will remember Macron. Whether as a great leader or just reduced to a psychological ‘complex’ like the previous young geezer. I hope the former, I like Macron. He’s ‘different’ – Read More-
If the Guardian says ‘this is a blog’ and the Times says ‘this is a blog’ and even the Daily Mail says ‘this is a BLOG!!!!!’, then it probably is a blog. Unless you’re a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, in which case; firstly, you need psychological help, and secondly, the press are involved in a – Read More-
You know when you walk into a restaurant and they have those photos on the wall of the owner, normally some schmaltzy old Italian or Jewish guy with a big cigar and fat belly, shaking hands with the rich and the famous who have dined there. The ones who didn’t later sue for infectious diseases. – Read More-
I love a food fad. But I love chocolate more. And the best chocolate of all comes from Easter Eggs. I don’t know why, even after a concerted, concentrated, totally committed, 60 year study. And its a very scientific study too. Very controlled, all variables monitored, contingencies allowed for, statistics analysed minutely. This is what – Read More-
We’re leaving ‘Europe’. An island once more, we shall be. Rule Britannia. Lock the doors, shore up the… errr… shores and leave us the fuck alone!!!! Except when it comes to trade, of course.

The problem is mainly that Spurs, currently, are very very good. So much so that my confidence raised more than it perhaps should We’ve beaten them all, the good and the bad, particularly at the Lane where they’ve all left rather sad But this was Arsenal, this was not the norm, upon this match stood – Read More-
Do you ever watch Jules Holland? You should do. Its the safe way to keep up with music. Safe because Jules is pretty old and therefore shares my value system when it comes to what sounds good. He’s also funny, likeable, rather charming and the most brilliant pianist of his, or many other generations. And – Read More-
The problem with religions is that the more obsessive they are, the more preachy, the more holier-than-thou, the more… basically, up their own arses, that they are, the more stupid it all seems when it goes wrong. When I see, on a tube train, f’rsinstance, a ‘black hat’ Jewish dude, all beard and dangling bits – Read More-
I was more worried about last night’s match than anything. More than North Korean nuclear threats, more than Trump’s need of subtlety in his life, more than Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. Because ‘doing a Spurs’ is all about collapsing. All about showing promise and glory up to a point, only to see the carpet – Read More-
So Tim Fallon, leader of the Liberal Democrats, was finally nailed down regarding his dilemma. He’s ‘pro-gay’ and yet has repeatedly refused to answer the question as to whether gay sex is a ‘sin’. According to his ‘devout’ views. And yesterday he said it wasn’t. Bollox to God, bollox to the bible, he’s happy with – Read More-
