Do we, the humble, impoverished, post-Brexit, austerity-ridden football fans, do we ‘mind’ that our football players earn more money in a year than most of us earn in a lifetime? Do we care that an uneducated Serbian midfielder with a mohican haircut and an armful of tattoos, who can’t spell his own name without help – Read More-
Donald Trump sacked James Comey yesterday. The now former head of the FBI. Sacked the man for ‘mishandling the Clinton emails investigation’, a move that basically won Trump the election. No doubt he deserved sacking. Re-introducing at a public level an ongoing investigation, 11 days before a presidential election can only be seen as a – Read More-
I don’t know if you remember the famous ‘pink man’ incident? When half of a handless pink man suddenly appeared in our garden many years back. Would have been really weird and spooky and Twilight Zone, if we hadn’t placed him carefully between the rhododendron and the rosebush ourselves. And bizarrely, he’s a very divisive – Read More-
France has a new president today. Emmanuel Macron, the youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte. How’d that one work out?? I wonder how, in future years, history will remember Macron. Whether as a great leader or just reduced to a psychological ‘complex’ like the previous young geezer. I hope the former, I like Macron. He’s ‘different’ – Read More-

The ones who didn’t later sue for infectious diseases. – Read More-
I love a food fad. But I love chocolate more. And the best chocolate of all comes from Easter Eggs. I don’t know why, even after a concerted, concentrated, totally committed, 60 year study. And its a very scientific study too. Very controlled, all variables monitored, contingencies allowed for, statistics analysed minutely. This is what – Read More-
We’re leaving ‘Europe’. An island once more, we shall be. Rule Britannia. Lock the doors, shore up the… errr… shores and leave us the fuck alone!!!! Except when it comes to trade, of course. Then we need to peddle our baubles and trinkets to other countries. Oh, and fruit picking, potato harvesting, we like to – Read More-
The problem is mainly that Spurs, currently, are very very good. So much so that my confidence raised more than it perhaps should We’ve beaten them all, the good and the bad, particularly at the Lane where they’ve all left rather sad But this was Arsenal, this was not the norm, upon this match stood – Read More-
Do you ever watch Jules Holland? You should do. Its the safe way to keep up with music. Safe because Jules is pretty old and therefore shares my value system when it comes to what sounds good.
