to boldly pray…

Can you split an infinitive? Can you actually pray ‘boldly’ as opposed to humbly, sincerely, smirkingly, fires of hellishly? Who cares?

a woman scorned…

If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, how about a woman pissed off by inappropriate behaviour by her husband at a memorial service? Like Michelle Obama in this picture of a picture taken at the Mandela memorial in Johannasberg yesterday. Barak and David Cameron, flirting with each other and with Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Danish – Read More-

morals maketh the man…

Going against a US government request for all flags to be flown at half mast following the death of Nelson Mandela, the sheriff of Pickens, South Carolina, refused to do so over the courthouse/schoolroom/poolhall/brothel in his town, because Mandela ‘wasn’t American’. So I’m thinking here a kind of Dukes of Hazzard kind of sheriff; white – Read More-

genius…

Are you intelligent? Then prove it. Do something clever. Right now. Go on. You can’t, can you. No. Because intelligence is not like that. In fact its not really like anything. You can’t even judge it by behaviour, otherwise you’d have to think Boris Johnson was thick because he acts like a buffoon. And he’s – Read More-

what a fabulous word: palpable. It means ‘touchable’ but is only used for things you can’t actually touch. Anger. Fear. Desire. Or relief. So really it means ‘almost touchable’. Who gives a shit. My contempt for that word is palpable. But we use the word most often for relief. And what is the most common – Read More-

groupage…

England are in the ‘group of death’!!!!! Just like they were last time, in the Euros, and the time before that in the last World Cup. The group of DEATH!!!!! Because its the group in which England generally die. So even if we happened to be grouped with San Marino, the Faroe Islands and Hawaii, – Read More-

Tom Daley, olympic diver extraordinaire and pin-up boy for the swimming pool classes and other teenage schoolgirls, this week announced that he is in a great and happy relationship, with a man (!!!!), though he still ‘likes’ girls. Now some cynics initially thought that sweet Tom was simply apparently hedging to keep those teenies screaming – Read More-

China syndrome…

David Cameron’s still in China. So I went to Tai Chi last night. Me mate Ken went out to the Hong Wah house and ate Kung Po chicken and Kev watched Fist of Fury. Mel stayed home and read Wild Swans. Its all part of ‘getting in touch with your inner Chinaman’ and following the – Read More-

special…

David Cameron yesterday announced that he is in a very happy relationship with a man and has been for 6 months. Oh, that was Tom Daley. Same difference. David Cameron actually announced that despite the constant atrocities perpetrated by the People’s Republic of China, the genocide in Tibet, the persecutions, the human rights abuses, the – Read More-
