Its the anniversary of the war in Ukraine. Sorry, the ‘special military action, NOT WAR’, war in Ukraine. Depending on which side of the Donbas you sit. Or really, which side of Putin’s mind you sit. Because if you’re inside it (and good luck with that, holy shit!!!), you’re defending your country from the hostile – Read More-
Nicola Sturgeon is ‘istry’. Gone. In all but she’s still hanging around making a nuisance of herself in that ‘dead man walking’ kind’a way. Or perhaps ‘suicidal woman walking’ as she actually quit herself. And the leadership race is hotting up. In a rather tepid, low-key, never-eard-a-none-of-em sort of ‘hotting up’. Favourite at the moment – Read More-
There’s an American doctor, (they’re ALWAYS American and everyone there who passes their 11-plus becomes a ‘doctor’), who has come up with a nutritional plan to end what she calls ‘addictive eating’ or ‘cravings’. But what I call ‘perfectly normal desire to give your body what it is naturally wanting to redress an energy imbalance’. – Read More-
I can’t tell you how happy yesterday’s football result made me… but I’m going to try. Not just to upset West Ham fans, not just to probably irritate Arsenal fans, but just because I want to due to my extreme joy at this event. Also, here’s a funny thing: my mate Bobby became a grandfather – Read More-
Buoyed by the amaaaaaazing success of ‘the best World Cup ever’ in November, possibly the ‘best World Cup ever in which more than 50,000 people died making it happen’, maybe even ‘the best World Cup ever in which freedom of expression and human rights were banned and the beer cost 20 quid a pint’, those – Read More-
For many years I’ve advocated a radical stance on diversity, inclusivity, support for marginalised minorities, particularly of a gender variety, the abolition of all statues of slavers, imperialists, colonialists, bankers, wankers, skanks, lanky people and any form of old white men. The worst kind of human. The ultimate dead end of the spectrum. And I – Read More-
She’s gone. La Sturgeon. Or, as numerous memes have alluded to this week, Le/La /Autre Sturgeon. But you can’t give credibility to memes. They’re insulting, abusive, should be banned on decency grounds and are incredibly funny. But the legacy Nicola Sturgeon leaves behind after her eight years at the helm of Britain’s most Scottish of – Read More-
Well if the words to that football chant are correct, I’ve completely stopped singing. Not in the car. Shower. Kitchen whilst ‘creating!’. No-where. If you sing when yer winnin’, my voice has been silenced. My team have stopped winnin’. Even the other North London team has stopped winnin’. EVERYONE’S stopped winnin’ round our way. And – Read More-
So my head’s been itchy and scaly for decades. The twin looked at it to examine. Though it looked like a monkey looking for tasty nits as she parted my hair, she is a doctor, so she’s allowed to eat anything she finds on my scalp. But what she found was that it was ‘Seborrheic’. – Read More-
We all love(d) Pink Floyd. They single-handedly brought down the Berlin Wall and instigated the end of Soviet rule. They crashed real airplanes and space rockets into the stage at concerts, with no-one getting hurt. And although they were bastions of ‘prog-rock’, Ummagumma perhaps took it a touch too far. A double album which had – Read More-
