I’m on my way to Japan. Not literally, but mentally. Which is much cheaper and the jet-lag is better. Dependent on what gets drunk in the meantime. But by tomorrow morning I’ll be there. In Yokohama. A short bullet train ride from Tokyo. Near Kanagawa. Which I know because on our (real life) trip to – Read More-
“For the many, not the few!!” For proper people, just not the Jew It’s a time for change that is REAL Not some empty, same-old spiel Whose side are you on??? I’ll repeat that til long after you’ve gone Because in the absence anything worthwhile That really wouldn’t be my style So I’ll bombard you – Read More-
Who knows where Scunthorpe is? I didn’t. No idea. Just looked it up and its up by the Humber Estuary, just south west of Hull, in North Lincolnshire. Now ya know. Though it all gets a bit vague when you travel up past Luton, I know, just a vast northern wilderness of strange accents, stranger – Read More-
It’s comin’. The General Election that ‘everyone’ wants. Everyone needs. Everyone’s gagging for, chewing the bit, climbing the walls, simply MAD for. Its here.

Football was my first love And it will be my last… Football of the future And football of the paaaaast That was a pop song in nineteen something or other. Terrible bleedin’ song, so I changed the lyric a touch due to ‘artistic freedom’. Yet the sentiment is true. Football was my ‘first love’ and – Read More-
Have you seen Joker yet? Then you should. It’s remarkable. Brilliant. Mesmerising. And a bit brutal. Joaquin Phoenix plays the eponymous hero(??) in a study of a sick, warped and abused mind. Mel found it too long and too slow. Pretty much as she finds every movie due to her lack of patience with everything – Read More-
If only Maro Itoje was our Prime Minister, and Kieran Read the leader of the opposition, life would be so simple. Because everyone would know their roles and everything would go like clockwork and there’d be no posturing, no posing, no cheating; no room for liars, procrastinators, deliberators or outright masturbators.

Yesterday was Lila-day and I was sitting with her doing… whatever, when she just suddenly said; apropos of nothing; ‘grand-daughter’ and laughed. But said it properly, beautifully (she’s a posh bird, or will be once she masters ‘L’ and ‘G’… ‘J’… ‘K”….‘Z’…). And I said, ‘yes?’ And she repeated it as if the word itself – Read More-
It’s always the same; the only sin in public life is hypocrisy. So they’ve gone and calculated the carbon footprints of lots of holier-than-thou and greener-than-green type ‘planet-savers’ to see if they ‘walk the walk’, rather than ‘fly the plane’. And it would appear that only Greta Thundberg is worth listening to without thinking ‘yeah, – Read More-
Well, it had to happen at some stage, I suppose. Spurs won a game. And not just won in any normal sense, but really, really WON! Beating Red Star Belgrade 5-nil at the Tottenham stadium.
