Imitation used to be the sincerest form of flattery. No more. Not in this hypersensitive atmosphere of post-woke, Covid-rich, ultra-correct, nouveau-intolerance. Now its called ‘cultural appropriation’. And is ILLEGAL!!!! Adele posts a picture of her new hair-do and I thought; ‘that looks stupid’. But everyone else thought ‘NOOOOO!!!! That’s an AFRICAN hair-style and you ain’t – Read More-
The City is still in a state of near death. Yet oddly enough the tube is definitely getting busier. Not, like jammed, rammed and slammed, praise be, but, like 10 people on a carriage now instead of one. Or two. So where are all the tube travelers going? If not to work? They didn’t look – Read More-
Golfers describe a shot they need to take as perhaps, ‘4 iron, 70%’, naming the club needed and the amount of power required. Gotta be long enough but don’t want to overhit. In tennis, that being a proper sport, a real, running-round, sweating type gig, we don’t use such things. Because we don’t have time – Read More-
Because I’m the ultimate, post-modernist, post-feminist, urbane, right-on, woke kind of dude, many people assume I would be a vegan. Ok, only when I’m wearing sandals, obviously, and when sporting a benevolent, beautific kind of almost-sincere smile, but in fact I’m not. I’ll eat road-kill if its reasonably fresh. Raw and on-the-bone. With fur. So – Read More-
I don’t really do religion. Not in any meaningful way. Because I don’t think slagging off people’s deep-felt beliefs counts as ‘meaningful’ in any real sense. However enjoyable it may be. But my problem is not religion as such, they’re the symptom, the problem starts with God. Everything starts with God, we are led to – Read More-
Leo Messi, the greatest footballing Argentinian the world has every seen, although some think that should be cheating fat little coke-head, Maradona, looks set to leave his ‘home’. Lionel Messi wasn’t born in Barcelona but he’s lived there since he joined their famous and fabulous youth academy when he was an amazingly prodigious talent, at – Read More-
In light of the recent scandal at the BBC, where those fat, middle-class white people finally saw the light and will NOT be singing the terrible, racist, xenophobic, slave-trade-throwback lyrics to either ‘Land of Hope and Glory’, or ‘Rule Britannia’, there has been uproar by the lovers of the ‘Proms’. Who are also, by sheer – Read More-
I try always to be non-judgmental. Even handed. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Don’t judge books by covers. Or dipsticks by their socks & sandals combo. Even when I meet people who look like total, less-than-zero losers, (you know who you are), I try and find positives in them. Because you never know. – Read More-
The city of Paris is awash with the glory and prestige of reaching tonight’s European Champions’ League final. They daubed the Eiffel Tower in PSG (that’s Paris St Germain, their football team) colours and made the biggest fuss ever about reaching the world’s most prestigious football match, for the very first time. (When Spurs reached – Read More-
There was a supermodel once called Elle McPherson. Known as ‘The Body’. Even though her body was about 6 feet tall and six inches at its widest point. Or ‘points’, maybe. I saw her once. We stopped to buy water (I was with Mel, on holiday, its what you do) at a shopping mall in – Read More-
