This is not ALL the Chinese people, even though it looks like about 1.6 billion of them, this is just the Chinese ‘congress’. An event so rare it occurs once every 5 years. I mean, the World Cup happens every 4 years, so this gathering is even much more specialer than that. The picture is – Read More-
There’s a new tv show coming out. Next week. It’s along the lines of ‘Strictly’ or ‘Bake Off’, where loads of contestants are eliminated week by week until there is a winner who becomes… Chancellor of the Exchequer!!! But for real. Moves into Number 11 that very night as all contestants have to take their – Read More-
I remain really positive about our new Prime Minister and her team. She’s kweative, kwedible and opposed to kwonyism. And she had absolutely no choice in the sacking of her chancellor yesterday. 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-
When you’re a tyrant, you make up the rules as you go along. That’s one of the privileges. You say; people do. The downside is that generally you’re hated. And can trust no-one. So I’m not going to apply for that job today. Though you do get to adopt the most astounding double standards and – Read More-
The death of Mahsa Amini has started a (mini) revolution. The 22 year old was seemingly murdered by the ‘morality police’ after not wearing her hijab sufficiently… errrr… well, she was wearing it but… simply not wearing it ENOUGH. So they beat her to death in a van. Seems fair. Just to summarise: wearing the – Read More-
If you look at today’s league table, of the top four teams, 3 are from London. And if you accept that although Manchester City are nominally a ‘northern’ team, they are in fact just the fantasy play toy of an Emirate billionaire who could just as easily be Napoli, Nantes or Nantwich Town for all – Read More-
So its 3.45 am and I’m asleep. Who’d’a thought? And then I’m awake. Because of a bang. Big enough to wake me. And Mel. She ‘heard’ the bang because she was only half asleep from a potty stop 10 minutes earlier. But I didn’t hear it because it was the agent of my awakening, so – Read More-
‘The camera never lies’, as they say. So forget all the cutesy-wootsy posing and posturing which you’re used to from the world’s bestest granddaughter, because underneath all that facade of sweetness and compliance and good-girlish goo-goo, there lurks… a woman in waiting! This one. Unless she chooses to change how she identifies, later in life, – Read More-
I don’t know if angels say that, when they’re being angelic. I’m not sure they say anything really, especially if they’re Jewish angels, because then if there were two of them, they’d have 3 different opinions about the same thing and they’d end up arguing. Which is not just ‘not very angelic’ but defeats the – Read More-
