support mechanism…

The White House has a weekly Bible Support Group meeting. So the cabinet can get nearer to Christ. They won’t address the gun-laws which result in the death of hundreds of children each year, but they want to be next to Christ. So they can have Jesus and Donald, kind’a ‘together’. Wow. One turning the – Read More-

law’s the law…

So a robber breaks into a home at night. Living there is an old couple. The husband is threatened with a screwdriver by one burglar while the other goes upstairs, where lies disabled wife, to find the ‘swag’. A melee ensues in the kitchen and the 78-year-old home owner stabs the burglar once resulting in – Read More-

the mighty fall…

Its amazing how fast you can hit the floor. I’d thought that my extensive training in tai chi would have me totally in control of all bodily movements without even thinking about it. We practice ‘falling over’ all the time. How to fall painlessly, how to fall in control and be up again to defend – Read More-

equal opportunity…

Another day, another mass(ish) shooting in America. At YouTube’s hq in California this time. Fortunately (relatively) only 3 people were injured and it wasn’t at a school. This was on a different kind of ‘campus’. A Google campus. But this shooter was different. This shooter was a woman. A gel. A female. Ya get the – Read More-

omg…

Lila was born on April 1st 2017. Later that day Spurs beat Burnley. And subsequently went on a Lila-inspired run that was simply awesome. Lila’s presence not only provided me with a new obsession, the family with a new toy and everyone else with the joy of a new baby, but created a new attitude – Read More-

april fuel…

Lila is one year old today. How’d that even happen? One minute she’s a little pink soft thing and then suddenly… she’s a little pink soft thing. But one that crawls, eats, walks (with a LOT of help), points, grabs, gives you things, chews up the world and has a world of ‘character’, as they – Read More-

1973, part 2…

When we arrived in Exeter, Swindon, Loughborough or wherever, the canvassers were dropped off to try and get some leads. So the closers were done for the day. Well, until the evening when their work started in earnest. Or in ‘earning’ as was more appropriate. We were all self-employed and paid totally on commission. No – Read More-

1973, part 1…

I took a gap yaar in 1973. Ok, I flopped in my A-levels and decided to take a year out rather than stay at school and repeat the year like a rather beautiful retard. 6 months of working then 6 months devoted to study. That was the plan. As we know, man plans, God laughs. – Read More-

gift that keeps giving…

Anti-semitism in the Labour party; the gift that keeps giving. We all thought it was over. We pitched up in Parliament Square on Monday night, risked starvation as we stood in the fresh air with no buffet for almost 35 minutes!! and then later Jeremy C made his abject apology in all sincerity and heart-feltiness – Read More-

taxing problem…

This is almost a first for any government of MY country. A tax increase that is remarkably clever. And trust me, I’m no ‘I WANT TO PAY MORE!!’, Melvyn Bragg type, neo-Corbynista champagne socialist. But this is clever. They’re making road tax a ‘flat rate’ of £140 a year, for all cars, including, for the – Read More-
