I don’t gamble. Its not a religious thing, nor set in stone. I just don’t really enjoy it. So I don’t. Some do. Lots do. A few years ago on a ski trip we were having lunch discussing the forthcoming FA cup match between Manchester United and Spurs, being screened in a bar in Courchevel – Read More-
When the going gets tough, the stupid plummet to new depths of stupidity. Don’t they say that? Ok, they don’t but they will following Donald Trump’s riveting words last night as he showed the world that just when you thought no man could ever make himself look any more ridiculous, he pushed that limit even – Read More-
The problem with Russia is that its a problem. On virtually every level. Vladimir Putin took a country that everyone hated because of human rights abuse, international invasions, political repression and murder, secret police and all manner of evil; and managed to make it worse. That really took some endeavour. His predecessors had seen to – Read More-
On these very pages, not 2 months ago (I really can’t remember which blog it was, precisely; I can’t even remember where I put my phone 6 minutes ago. My blogs are like children born on Burnley council estates, I pop ’em out and put them into care, never to think about them again), I – Read More-
Its amazing (and, ok, a bit sad… tragic almost) how much I miss football. Last weekend’s ‘International break’, though tolerable in that JUST GET THROUGH IT!!! way, was awful. When they kicked off yesterday afternoon, I sighed a big, loving, healthy sigh of relief. I missed my children when they moved out from home (kicked – Read More-
All men are rapists. Except Donald Trump and Ched Evans. The courts have said so. Well, the court spoke about Ched, Don is just the ‘victim of a vile and sustained campaign by the Democrats and the Liberal press’ against him. Which creates the bizarre situation in which possibly the two most vile, abusing, misogynistic, – Read More-
Ok, so we all accept that electric cars are ‘the future’. Not a nice future, not a very fast, noisy, V8-rumbly future, but ‘a’ future. And if they’re going to be electric, they might as well be driverless because the whole point of driving is for fun and electric cars are as much fun to – Read More-
Don’t’cha just love facebook? Don’t’cha??? I ‘joined’ facebook about 5 years ago when a mate told me he’d ‘posted some great pictures’. ‘Can’t you just send them to me?’ I asked. Like, email them? Print them and post them over?? (He lives in France). ‘No need! Its easy!! Just join Facebook. Its free!!’ Look, I’ll – Read More-
Its Yom Kippur. The Day of ‘Atonement’. Heaviest duty day of the Jewish year. And I’m in the last hour of my self-imposed, 25-hour ‘fast’. Don’t eat. Don’t drink. Unless I really need to. Don’t nuffink. And don’t know why. I’m not a religious man. I’m not a believer. In fact I’m almost anti-religious. Yet – Read More-
Yesterday I received an email. That’s exciting, all by itself. But this one was special. ‘Dear A Conway’, it started, which is a rather alarming form of address really. I mean, was it for me? As in Andy Conway? Or just the indefinite article, ‘A’, like, any old Conway will do? But it went on: – Read More-
