More brutal…

When I went to summer camp, aged about 14, I spent some time snogging. Its what you do when you’re 14. Hours of it. Sometimes with other people. And one gel who was rather cute had what could be called ‘a slight overbite’. Not the full Bugs Bunny, just a bit toothy, in a good – Read More-

Brutal…

I was going to tell you today of my day with The Brutalist yesterday (and ‘day’ it is, no ‘shortie’ that movie) but then… events!!! occurred which are simply too overwhelming to ignore or delay. Its all a matter of priorities, as ‘the legend’ told me, and as, (according to him), he’s never wrong, we – Read More-

don’t sweat the details…

So Zelensky said that Trump lives in a world of disinformation, so Trump called him a ‘dictator’ and accused him of ‘starting the war’ and so Starmer (as if anyone even listened to him outside of our sceptered Isle) sided with Zelensky, and Trump is left sucking up to Putin and I think we’re on – Read More-

all my fault…

Donald Trump was right on the money. As always. This whole Ukraine thing is their own fault. Why didn’t we see that? How could we be so sympathetic to their horrendous plight, their massive death toll, forced mass migration and the bombing of all those cities? When it was all Ukraine’s fault!! It was obvious, – Read More-

why I love football…

I just love football. All that rubbish and complaining and misery I’ve been talking about lately has suddenly been put into the perspective of ‘historical blip’ as we sauntered to a stunning win yesterday at White Hart Lane, showing we now have a pretty good chance of winning the league. As long as certain events – Read More-

How does it feel…

Went to see the Bob Dylan movie last night. Complete Unknown. Quite frankly, it’s brilliant. And that’s without hearing a word spoken. Timothy Chalomet spoke just like Dylan, whiny mumble. He sang like Dylan too. Whiny mumble. But those words I knew, well most of ‘em. But the dialogue? My hearing’s almost as bad as – Read More-

Vee Pee…

JD Vance is the vice president of all America. As a good analogy to understand this very important role, if the President of America is a Rolls Royce, or a Cadillac, the VP is the spare tyre. Maybe just the jack. A locking wheel-nut. His job is to speak the words of his boss, in – Read More-

Monopoly…

All hail The Donald, the peacemaker supreme. As long as there’s a deal in it for him. Bless him. He’s going to Saudi Arabia to ‘sort out’ the Ukraine business once and for all. And he probably will. It needs to end. He’ll meet Pooot’n there and they’ll plan the end of the war. Brilliant. – Read More-

WhatsWrong…

Before we start talking about the Labour MPs being suspended for ‘suspected racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia and possibly cyber-rape!!! (well why not?)’, we need to establish the rules. And the rule for WhatsApp is: there are no rules. Well, there shouldn’t be. If you want to offend someone, upset someone, toxically abuse them, then send – Read More-

white out…

I have decided to come out of my forced retirement from skiing and hit the pistes once more. In my case, probably quite literally, and normally face-first. I had to take a ‘hiatus’ of about 10 years as my shoulder pains worsened and risk of damaging it beyond its already ‘catastrophic’ were too worrying. But – Read More-
