In the 1950s there was the ‘cold war’. Russia and America, building up nuclear arms, spying, dastardly deeds, McCarthy witch-hunts and the yanks lived in mortal fear of ‘reds under the bed’. A metaphor for either Americans who were really communists, or ‘they hear what we say!’ Nothing to do with Arsenal fans. But this – Read More-
I’m not sure which is a greater catastrophe; the failure of MPs to accept any possible Brexit scenario or Arsenal winning last night to overtake Spurs. On a personal level, the Arsenal situation hurts more, will definitely create more anguish, taunting, depression and possibly reactive violence, but on a national level David Cameron’s ‘gift’ of – Read More-
It’s Lila’s birthday. Today. Why its not an official bank and public holiday, with street parties and processions, possibly a carnival, free parking everywhere, all speed cameras turned off for the day, speech by the Queen, 21-gun salute over the Tower at noon… I’ll just never know. In my mind its all that and more. – Read More-
We were ‘cancelled’ last night. That’s always a big bonus. A night in. Ahhhhhh. So I had a long bath, with Robert Harris. Finished ‘Munich’. Not his best. Then Mel went in the bath. A different one. A clean one. With bubbles and oils and candles and ohmmmm. And Kill Bill was on. But, like, – Read More-
It’s not that I’m some speed freak kind of insane Mad Maxian, Bullitt-driving, Vanishing Pointish Blues Brother, verging on the Thelma & Louise, but I just like fast cars and faster driving.

Due to the unfairness of the working world, I had to miss my Liladay activities yesterday, leaving Mel in sole charge of the gorgeous little destroyer. She called me when I arrived at work, (Mel, not Lila, though Lila did speak to me too), in a slight panic because of a bit of a problem – Read More-
Ok, so parliament is ‘taking control of the Brexit process’, they voted so on Monday. First we (apparently) want to ‘take control of the borders’, now this. We like control. Therefore they set the agenda and the government can’t do nuffink about it. And they’re basically presenting options over different proposals for Brexiting nicely, or – Read More-

I mean, what’s that all abaart?? Ok so they can fill 10,000 glasses in 3 minutes, but what’s everyone else gonna drink? And – Read More-
This’ll shock you. Men and women are different. Sorry; …are different!!!! Holy shit!!!! All those years of truly believing that the only difference between men and women was the level of opportunities and expectations and was really down to being given a dolly at age 1 instead of a plastic machine gun, and now they’re – Read More-
Theresa May is history. Though doubtless she’ll be consigned to the darkest depths of history along with Hitler, Stalin, various Kims, (Jong-Un, Jong-Il, Kardashian), Sadam Hussain, George Graham and Bruce Forsyth. She’s going. Any minute now. There is simply no alternative. She has lost the plot. Shame she didn’t lose The Deal instead but that’s – Read More-
