There’s been another ‘study’. And we all love one’a them. About gender roles in the home, this time. Oddly its been done by Oxfam. Though why they are spending money due to be sent to starving Africans on worrying about who’s doing the housework over here is beyond me. I don’t give to Oxfam, I – Read More-
Its a funny ole game. Thus spake Jimmy Greaves. Football! Phah!! And what about pressure? That’s a funny ole thing too. And we went to West Ham with lofty aspirations and dreams of untold wonderness and we fucking blew it. Having beaten a host of teams that no-one expected us to, we played a game – Read More-
Politics is different over here. We really have no-one quite like Donald Trump. Well, thinking about it, there is no-one else anywhere quite like the Trumpster. We have loud, screechy billionaire property magnates, we call them Alan Sugar. We have racists and bigots, we call them UKIP, or sometimes just ‘Wayne’. We have circus entertainers, – Read More-
How appropriate in the week following the Racist Oscars weekend that the ‘colour’ black should feature once more in the news. And not just any black. But Vantablack. The blackest black ever invented. And invented it needs to be. Black doesn’t really exist in real life but has to be made. And its not a – Read More-
I’m not quite sure if ‘this is the week that defines our season’ or if it already started last weekend, when we were brutally cheated out of the FA cup by Palace. Or if it really began on Thursday night with our wonderful win against Fiorentina? Arguably ‘the week’ began back in August when we – Read More-
Well, no-one black, that’s for sure. The Oscars don’t do ‘colour’, aren’t interested in ‘minority’, I’m amazed that they even have prizes for women. But I suppose otherwise they’d have to do away with the ‘casting couch’ and other fringe benefits. So keep the women in. Just don’t pay them too much. You can always – Read More-
The esteemed Victoria and Albert Museum, no less, unless you just call it the V&A, which is much less, is having an exhibition of memorabilia from ‘the 60s’. An homage to flower power, but not exclusively a hippy show. There’s other stuff too. The ‘actual’ chair that Christine Keeler posed naked upon back in the – Read More-
Adam Johnson is a bit of a tosser, really. He joins that (somewhat massive) club due to improprieties of a very naughty nature. The Sunderland (and, apparently, England) winger ‘groomed’ a ‘child’. And then either did or didn’t involve in some kind of sexual activity with her, depending on who you believe and how you – Read More-
Well, Europe or not, us British folk are simply the best at music. Always have been. Last night at the Brit awards, the British swept the board. Funny that. Other than Justin Beiber who won ‘the token Canadian gesture’ for being a silly little tosser that no-one likes. The sympathy award. In fact it wasn’t – Read More-
Arsenal have always been ahead of the game. They lead the way. So as the rest of us are pondering whether to leave Europe or not, Arsenal last night pretty much guaranteed their own personal exit from anything Euro-esque. Or, rather, Barcelona guaranteed it for them. And I am biased, I warn you now. Not – Read More-
