I saw a video the other night. A group of doctors from all over the world on some ‘Medical Truth’ forum, speaking out about… THE VIRUS!!! like what else? And it was interesting and it was different and it appeared to be very informed. They basically said ‘Covid is the flu, the world should not – Read More-
I read this in the paper yesterday and (totally fucking cracked up) was greatly moved (tears rolling down my face) by the sheer love and sacrifice that committed parents make for their children (ok, catching breath again). But any parent does such things, with regard to a child’s health, education, general wellbeing and a million – Read More-
If you buy a ‘lectric car, a proper ‘plug in’ one, it needs to be charged. That’s kind’a how it works. Charge it up and, like your phone, or iPad or the zillion other things we spend our lives charging, it’ll let you down when you really, really, REALLY don’t need it. And you can – Read More-
Gareth Bale is home. In England. Even though he’s Welsh and lives in Spain. But ‘home’ is where the heart is. Not necessarily his heart, that’s probably in Cardiff or Swansea or Anglesey. But my heart. And those of all other Spurs fans. So much so that he chose that very symbol as his personal – Read More-
There is UPROAR!!! Ok, its not a very big one, compared to so many others currently being uproarious, but it warrants a few exclamation marks just for sheer stupidity. Because they’ve cast Gal Gadot (Wonderwoman, and oh, such wonder) to play Cleopatra, The Queen of Egypt, in a remake of… well, all the other Cleopatra – Read More-
Don’t get me wrong: I love the Beatles. John Cooper Clarke is a very clever man. I adore Jodie Comer from Killing Eve. But there’s something about Liverpudlians… They can be very demanding. They have a sense of entitlement which creates the necessity to whinge a lot, which accounts for the accent, which is essentially, – Read More-
So this is what’s happening: the North of England is to be closed due to Covid. Of, course, this will be in ‘localised areas’ but basically, from Northampton upwards, its shut. The people of Bolton and Blackburn and Wigan, all of whom support third rate football teams, are already in a kind of ‘mini lockdown’ – Read More-
Isn’t Amazon just the best company in the world? Like, you, just, kind’a, order shit, and, like, it just fucking arrives! Like, geezer in a white van brings it round, like, 20 minutes before you ordered it! Amazing. That’s why they call it ‘amazon’, cos its like ‘amazin’, innit? And, my Kindle, right? It’s got, – Read More-
This is a wonderful photo. A metaphor for declining standards in the world, a potent symbol. And nothing is more potent than 2 Barbie dolls. Ok, one Barbie and one Sindy, if you’re that pedantic and anal about such things. The Sindy on the right is Mel’s poor, wretched, doll, whose hair was cut off – Read More-
I keep reading articles about hugging. Not shagging, they’re different ‘articles’. But hugging. Cuddling. In fact about touching. And how this is not just part of the human condition, this need for touch, but an essentially defining feature. If we were dogs we’d sniff arses, but we’re not, well, I’m not, we’re humans. Well, we – Read More-
