Dressed up…

Joey doesn’t wear dresses. Yet. But in line with contemporary, inclusive, non-judgmental, gender-neutral, freedom-of-choice-for 1-year-olds, zeitgeisty thinking, should little JoJo choose to dress in the clothes normally assigned to a non-binary gender of the traditionally menstruating classes, then dresses he will wear. To prevent such an action is ILLEGAL. Boys will be boys. Unless they – Read More-

I hate Jews…

The Story. Rebecca Long Bailey, hard-left, stroppy northern uber-Corbynite loser of the last Labour leadership contest (she’s going on ‘Britain’s got Talent’ next week to see if she can do a bit better), has been sacked from her shadow cabinet post. Because she re-tweeted a post from Maxine Peake, an actress I’ve never heard of – Read More-

Oh yesss…

The Premier League has 20 football teams. And after their 3 month hiatus, it would appear that only one of those can actually remember how to play. Manchester (fucking) City! As a minor ‘aside’, Manchester City is owned by various Emirates. Sheikh Mansoor is the nominal ‘chairman’ of the club, which he funds in the – Read More-

Safety in numbers…

So Boris (et al) have been pretty consistent, since way back in March, with their convictions, coronavirus-wise. Work/don’t work. Work from home/go into the office/preferably at home. Keep your distance/move closer/not too close/preferably 2 metres, though 1 is acceptable but only with ‘PLUS’ attached to it. Go to work/don’t get on tubes/buses/trains. Don’t drive/drive if – Read More-

Swing low…

Back in the 1980s a rugby player switched from Rugby League (horrible, nasty, northern game) to Rugby Union (lovely, gentlemanly, southern game, even though there are some similarities) and represented England. He was a wonderful wing. Fast. In that ‘how can you be that fast when you’re that big’ kind of way that only rugby – Read More-

It’s back…

Football’s back. My life once again has meaning and purpose. Direction. Motivation. Excitement. Black Lives Matter. Fans made of cardboard. Brilliant. And watching Spurs last night play Manchester United, I realised what this cruel and heartless lockdown had been depriving me of for the last 3 months. What I’ve really been missing. Frustration. Anger. More – Read More-

When I get older…

I’m 64. How did that happen? The Beatles released their song by that title in 1967. I was 11. Ringo was probably 20 years old. So ‘64’ to both of us was some science-fiction imaginary land inhabited by our grandparents, by the infirm, the wheelchair-bound, the disabled, silver-haired, crotchety, bent, stooped, senile and toothless. Which, – Read More-

Quality…

In response to the recent revelations about racial inequalities, a new commission is being set up to investigate all aspects of such injustice, from socio-economic to educational, from comments (other than those made by the Prime Minister) to opportunities. The commission will be headed by Sir Archibald Loughington-Quexwood. Who is ideally qualified as he received – Read More-

Protest central…

I love the fact that Britain is, probably, the most ‘free’ society, the most democratic, the most protest marchy nation in the world. Yeah the Americans have freedom of speech enshrined in their constitution, but they also have a lot of guns around, which can tighten jaws up a bit. The Scandis are all lovely – Read More-

What we know…

Despite my natural and deep-felt opposition to covering this beautiful face ever, with anything, thus depriving the rest of the world from enjoying it fully, new information has come to light about the current maskage situation which I think is worth sharing. Because previously, our government, when asked whether we should all be wearing masks, – Read More-
