There are certain moments in a man’s life which are BIG. Milestones. Delights. Happiness. The day you get married. Passing your driving test. Possibly the day you get divorced. The birth of a child. Your first kiss. Unless its with Mr Frobisher, the maths teacher, then its a bit ‘eeeeuuuuwww’. Your grandchildren being born. But – Read More-
What do you do when its just pissing down with endless rain. Like, on my fucking tennis court! On a Sunday morning! And Mel has run off. Ok, gone to work, same thing. And left me, all alone. No nanny. No carer. No wardens. No play date. No tv because every single channel is talking – Read More-
Oh no! Liz Truss has gone!!! Didn’t see that coming. Never mind, we’re on course for setting a new record for staff changes. In 3 months we’ll have had 10 changes in PM, Chancellor and Home Secretary combined. Add in 2 monarchs and we’re not having a great time at the top of our national – Read More-

Because, according to her, he shared her vision, expressed her thoughts and did everything she hoped and wished him to do. Leaving his – Read More-
Wednesday night was European Champions League night at White Hart Lane. In no way wishing to be smug, nasty, arrogant or in any way obnoxious, Arsenal fans can google ‘champions league’ to see what that’s all about. And such a night it really was. European football is always fairly magical, night matches that bit more – Read More-
