why I loves london…

Part… 963, Culcha. There’s very few places in the world that really do offer ‘everything’. I mean ‘everything you’d want’. Not necessarily buying little boys or beheading practice, but everything you might want to see or do of a nice nature. And London is right up there with so many fantastic opportunities. Ok, we don’t – Read More-

we need to talk about Anjem…

Yesterday 3 magpies landed on the lawn. Just a few hours later Spurs won. In a ‘brilliant’ match (though reports may vary due to the pro-Arsenal stance of much of the so-called ‘neutral’ press) my boys grabbed the points at West Ham. So are those magpies responsible for my team’s victory? Doh. I don’t even – Read More-

tabla rasa…

Spurs are third from bottom in the league. The relegation zone. The drop. But I don’t care because until 12.45 today the league table is a blank page, a clean slate, a tabla rasa for those of us so pretentious and trumped up that nothing other than the language of Caesar can truly… yeah, right. – Read More-

myths and hit-ths…

If you stuck an electric heater in your bathtub, plugged in (both heater and bath), you’d die the death of 1000 volts. So how can it be safe to drive a Toyota Prius in the rain? Same thing surely? Water and electricity do in fact mix, but the results are nasty. If ever I have – Read More-

addicted to love…

If you’re obsessed with alcohol you’re an alcoholic. If its drugs, you’re an addict. Obsession with France is called Francophilia and if you’re obsessed with staring at the screen of a mobile phone you’re known as a Tosser. A total fucking tosser. Whereas someone who walks down a crowded London street in rush hour staring – Read More-

zero hour(s)…

Everyone’s favourite billionaire, Mike Ashley (do we have ‘favourite billionaires’? or just hate them all on principle and out of jealousy?), has upset everyone, once agian, because he’s invoking the infamous ‘zero hours’ contracts for his Sports Direct part-time workers which basically prevents them from taking second jobs. Even if they only get a few – Read More-

rally round…

If you look at a map of the Middle East you can barely see Israel, being so small. Egypt next door is immense. Syria to the north is massive, Lebanon just big in a normal way. Jordan has some expanse and Saudi Arabia is vast. Move across to Iraq and Iran and even Turkey and – Read More-

when Harry…

There’s a new movie coming out called ‘What if…’ and it stars Daniel Radcliffe and its a rom-com. They’re calling it ‘when Harry Potter met Sally’. Which is rather clever. As poor Daniel, billionaire by the time he was 7, is now paying the true price of that precocious fame and stardom as he can – Read More-

hot, hot, coldish…

Its all hotting up in the football transfer market as the window of opportunity closes in under 4 weeks time. So come and grab a last-minute bargain while you can. There’s a 2-for-1 deal going on at Southampton, as there has been for about 10 years really. Great bargains to be had. Though all that’s – Read More-

what’s the odds…

17 to 2 is a good bet. Decent odds. Not so ridiculously high that there’s no chance of a payout, but not so low that its not even worth the stake. So you wanna take a punt? Do ya? Are you feeling lucky; Punk? Well, if its a fiver each way on a nag running – Read More-
