Before we dismiss Nadhim Zahawi as ‘just another money-grabbin’, tax-evadin’, in-it-f’rimself, stinkin’ rich Tory bastard’, I think we need to know more about ‘the man behind the bastard’, where he’s from, what he’s done. Only then can we judge the shit out of him based on scant information and lack of background. So I researched – Read More-
Leeds is precisely 200 miles from London. I know. I just counted every single one of them. Twice. Once there, once back. And all because somebody died. A real ‘somebody’, not just ‘the death of Spurs’ dreams’, the end of all hope for football fans in N17, not even the day civilisation died (when Arsenal – Read More-
So we’re living the dream. It’s not raining. In fact its absolutely gorgeous out there. Bright, sunny, just a fab looking morning. A… tennis morning!!! Perfect! And yet, its fairly cold. We arrived on the court to find it a sheet of ice. So we went for a coffee, came back half an hour later, – Read More-
What do doctors know? Well, they know lots about things they can’t do. Treat a virus. Make you young again. Prevent cancer. Stop heart attacks. See patients. But to give them credit, they can be useful. If you’re lucky enough to ever be able to see one as they remain in full-covid mode, locked in – Read More-
I have a routine. Everyone has routines. They’re unchanging. That’s why they’re routines. I emerge from my shower, apply various beauty products, none of which seem to have any noticeable effect, dress and come down for breakfast. A banana. Because I’m healthy. Because I’m calorie conscious. Because I’m an athlete!!! And mostly because they don’t – Read More-
As the wait for the electric car enters its 13th month, my concerns for our fragile planet remain significant. With my level rising from ‘whatever’ to ‘hmmmm’ with the last raise of world temperature. But I can’t save the entire planet, all the whales, the Brazilian rainforest, just with one car. So boffins have come – Read More-
“It hurts, mummy, it hurts”; runs the plaintive cry “Make it go away, mummy, send it way up high.” “Get fucking real”, answers mummy, “and get a fucking grip” It’s only a game of football, you snivelling little shit. But its not an “only” anything, it happens again and again, It is life itself!, distilled – Read More-
Mel has a lot of baths. So I get to watch what I want. For 30, 40, even 50 minutes an evening, depending on what book she’s reading, where she is in that book and how hot the water was when she went in. It’s a formula. Time= (temp-3/4 x 60)/Stephen King x page number/379-x. – Read More-
So now the question has shifted, the blame put elsewhere, triggered by Laura Kuensberg asking Rishi Sunak if he saw a private doctor. He dithered. She asked again. He obfuscated. She repeated. He talked about Ukraine. She said the question in a slightly different way, he answered with all the directness of a taxi-driver trying – Read More-
If I’d have know that global warming was this bad, I’d have turned off my central heating boiler years ago. Got me a new wife, cos Mel would have left due to the cold, or thrown me out, due to the cold. I’d have driven petrol cars less, burned less coal, taken less flights, breathed – Read More-
