Practical. Ok, so its ‘kosher’ or its not. That’s a big, thick, black line which you cross AT YOUR PERIL!!!! One side is a life barely worth living as its so tied up in archaic bullshit and rules, and on the other side is an eternity of damnation in the fires of hell, but at – Read More-
PART 1: Theory. Rules are always made to be broken. That’s what my tattoo says. The imaginary one. On my forehead. Maybe between my shoulder blades. And the first rule I like to break is the one about kosher food. They make food to taste a certain way, its nothing to do with the religion – Read More-
Interesting article in today’s paper. On the sports pages. Where all interesting articles are found. Because apparently some pundit was watching the golfer, Michelle Wie, as she scored a 64 and beat everybody else, both men and women.

Ryan Giggs is on trial. The ‘Welsh Wizard’ is accused of ‘allegedly’, basically persecuting, controlling, beating, kicking, head butting and abusing two sisters on or around the same kind of time.

But I’m prepared to share some of this wonderful old language because there are times when ‘mere’ English words can’t – Read More-
Ok so let me get this straight. England is doing so well in the Covid Games (like we were in the Euros) that tomorrow is UN-lockdown day! When everything ‘returns to normal’. Because we’ve totally beaten that horrible virus with our outstanding vaccination programme and our banging frying pans for the NHS. Coronavirus stood no – Read More-
Scientists are on a mission. Again. Another mission. Different one. This one, not so much: to boldly go where no-one has gone before, but more: to boldly go when no-one has gone before/during/after/whatever. Because this is about time. That most illusive of constructs. Time is essentially nothing. And yet everyone gets pissed off when I’m – Read More-
Have you in any way pondered possibly the most odd but ne’er spoken about statistic in all those covid numbers which we find ourselves pretty much drowning in? I’m talking about the number of deaths per number of cases, or number of deaths per million of population, or number of deaths… relative to virtually anything. – Read More-
The first rule of argument is: pick your battles. The second is: never argue publicly with a footballer. Because however dim footballers may be, however uneducated, unworldly, unaware of politics, ignorant of the meaning of the word ‘subtle’, however semi-literate they may be, always remember: they are loved (ok, and also hated) and they have – Read More-
