So a normal morning for me is nice. Mel brings me a cup of tea in bed as she leaves to go swimming (I know; spoilt rotten; which I reciprocate, in case you’re worried, on Saturdays when I go to me early martial arts and leave her lounging in bed like a total princess!!). And – Read More-
The i-phone X is coming out. Sorry; THE I-PHONE X IS COMING OUT!!!! Raise the flag and shout halleluyah. Or at least, buy a few Apple shares. If you can afford 1. Cos its gonna be the biggest thing since the abacus. Since the wheel. Since sticky-backed-plastic. This is gonna be massive. It has to – Read More-
The problem with babies is that they are the absolute, total and constant definition of distraction. Even when they’re sleeping you have to keep checking that… they’re still ok, still breathing, haven’t grown wings, taken off, opened the window and gone to check out the neighbour’s tree. You just have to. So when they’re awake; – Read More-
When you have to go on an ‘exotic’ trip with work, that’s generally something special. And when Lila’s daddy announced months ago that he was going away for a few days in September, it was all very exciting. Ahhhh, fabulous. A week in Mexico. Mexico??? Who knew then about Irma? Who knew his arrival would – Read More-
I love Stephen King. Read everything he’s ever written. Except the Dark Tower series that they’ve now just made a movie out of. He’s written hundreds (almost) of books. All brilliant, all different. And if you think he is just about ‘horror’, then at least (The Shining) it is the best horror ever. But its – Read More-
Lots of schools have adopted a policy of allowing girls to not wear skirts. They can’t run round in their knickers but can wear trousers instead, should they wish. In the interest of ‘equality for all’. But now a school in Lewes (which Londoners would loosely call ‘up north’ even though its on the south – Read More-
Jeremy Corbyn is a vegetarian. He would be. Tosser. Not that all vegetarians are tossers, but he undoubtedly is. He’d like to be a vegan but can’t ‘live without cheese’. British cheese, he stressed. Not to show his patriotism and brotherhood with British workers, but to show he is unquestionably a tosser. Vegetarian/vegan is like – Read More-
Do you ever wish you were something else? A footballer? An onion? An aardvark? Or perhaps, a rat. Rats get all the best drugs, long before humans do. Its always the same. Nothing short of discrimination. Just today I read in the paper that there are new drugs that will tackle disease and old-age frailty. – Read More-
Everyone knows Einstein’s equation. He probably had more than one, maybe even four, but E=MC-squared (can’t do superscripts on an i-pad) must be the most famous equation in the world. Its on t-shirts, record covers, mugs, posters, everyone knows it. But most don’t bother to understand it. President Kim (funny little fat boy in North – Read More-
Wayne Rooney is a very naughty boy. Again. But as details emerge (even though in the Mail so its not like its automatically genuine or true), it gets more and more sordid. Or, ‘better and better’ as such a thing is known among the tattling classes. Wayne was 3 times the alcohol limit when arrested – Read More-
