I get it…

Oh, now I get it. It’s taken me a while, but now I get the whole ‘Corbyn’ thing. Ahhhhh. In a MORI poll published yesterday, Our Jezza polled the lowest popularity for any political leader since Michael Foot in 1983. Its taken 36 years to find a leader almost as hated by the public as – Read More-

in all likelihood…

Its a harsh, cruel world, in all its grim reality. Which is why you may have noticed (or not) that my postings of the vital information I provide most days has been a little more ‘random’ than usual. More erratic. Not in content, that’s always random and erratic. Abusive. Insulting. Disrespectful. Hate-filled. Lila-obsessed… That’s why – Read More-

fucked up…

Pope admits clerical abuse of nuns including sexual slavery What do you feel when you read a headline like this? Is it disgust? Shame? (Catholics) Envy? (priests) Or just ‘same shit different day’? I thought nuns and priests was just for certain particular porn-sites but heh, in art as in life. What gets me most – Read More-

the meat of the issue…

As the world gets more populated, it consumes more meat. As it becomes more affluent, it consumes more meat. I should probably add: ‘as it becomes more obese and heart-clogged, its eating more meat’, but that wasn’t part of the study I read so I’ll leave it out for statistical purposes. But as the world – Read More-

Glass totally full…

Ok, so I couldn’t play tennis yesterday as there was an inch of frozen ice covering the courts. Which, rather pissily, is still there this morning. As temperatures here have stayed at about -15 for a week. Ok, -1 for a couple of days, but that’s cold enough. Chicago the other day was -27. Though – Read More-

Joo-dunnit…

I love a bit of anti-semitism. If I wasn’t Jewish I’d definitely be an anti-Semite; its so much fun. Here’s what you do: Just blame the Jews for everything. Even though there’s only 274 of us and we remain quiet most of the time. But blame them for any shit you can find, then when – Read More-

existence of God…

People doubt the existence of ‘God’. Of a directing, possibly benignly controlling, force, acting upon the entire universe. To keep it… errr… universal. And big. In fact so big that we can’t get our heads around it. And historically any concepts beyond mere man, like the universe, like ‘infinity’, like ‘well; what’s at the end – Read More-

go figure…

Man United didn’t win a game!!! Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is shit. Sack him. After a winning start of 8 consecutive matches since Morinho was kicked out (doubtless every win causing him increasing pain, suffering, humiliation and hurt, but probably no self-dout whatsoever), United were lucky to draw at home to Burnley last night. And then – Read More-

this time next year…

In a year’s time we’ll all look back on ‘life in Europe’ as a distant memory and probably laugh at all the bother and the price exacted at (and certainly prior to) the point of our actual departure. Which itself is now a bit in doubt. But we’ll know more tonight.When ‘they vote’!! Again. This – Read More-

hell in a handcart…

This time last week I was positively jubilant. Spurs had just beaten Fulham, with our terribly banged-up, starless, bandaged-together team and all looked ok. Then the best news ever on Friday: Korea had lost in the Asian Cup to Qatar (no allegations or implications at all here, I’m sure those Qataris are all little Messis-of-the-desert, – Read More-
