Ok, so the Pope was a shirt-lifter. Aright, a cassock-lifter. He was gay. So the recent rumours being rather maliciously spread, would assert. And much as both myself and definitely the quality controllers of this site try to avoid gossip, scandal, reactionism and anything else you’d normally find in the Daily Mail, there are some – Read More-
It’s a disease. Possibly a ‘mental health issue’. But the colour purple has become an ongoing addiction for me. And like all addictions, it carries its own momentum, regardless of… well, regardless of anything really. At certain times of year the problem is amplified. Most notably, the week following Easter. It’s a biblical thing, and – Read More-
Watched Anora on the weekend. The movie which won Mikey Maddison the Oscar for best actress. Nothing trans-ish there, she’s a she-Mikey, don’t get your placards out and cancel me. Not for that anyway. I did a(nother) thing that I swore I’d never do. Like reading from a Kindle, like looking at my phone at – Read More-
Everyone will always remember exactly where they were when Pope Francis died. I was in the kitchen, making my porridge, and thinking of a blog post inspired by that very same Pope, on last night’s news, as he choked out a few words, all he could manage, from his wheelchair, over Vatican square, yesterday. Saw – Read More-
Leicester accepted relegation from the Premier League today. Not that it was ‘an invitation’ exactly, requiring an RSVP, more just a fact. “You’re down: fuck off”. And then I think two things. Firstly, when they won the league in 2016, against all conceivable odds. That was simply brilliant and an achievement which will never be – Read More-
“A woman is… (drum roll)… (pause for suspense, like they do on X-factor and Bake Off)… IS A WOMAN!!!” Oh, thank God for that, say the women, the feminists and JK Rowling. Boo, say all those trans-people who spent at least some of their lives as men, other times as transvestites and part of it – Read More-
We’ve just returned from a fab little stay in a Cotswold. Not sure which one, they all look so similar. It wasn’t Clarkson’s one, that’s for sure. Though there were plenty of cars there, but during Easter hols, that’s to be expected. We went on Thursday because I needed to drive very fast and there – Read More-
I hate what that man is saying (could be a woman… especially if its a woman) but would defend with my life (!!!) his/her/their right to say it. That’s what… errrr… Winston Churchill said. Possibly George Bernard Shaw… Emily Pankhurst… Groucho Marx… someone said it. And I agree. I agree totally with everyone’s ‘first amendment – Read More-
Its all about power. Bit like rugby. But more… electrical. Because it seems that whoever rules the power supply rules the whole fucking world. And not just rules it, but can supply it, consistently and, if possible, cheaply. The world is a massive consumer of power, I get that. I would say I had a – Read More-
We should be talking about steel. Everyone else is. Especially those lucky enough to live in Scunthorpe. The little town, somewhere ‘up north’, where they have a football team, who play in the ‘lower leagues’, lots of tattoo parlours, judging by the protesters you see on tv, easy availability of beer, and a steel works. – Read More-
