Ok, so we all accept that electric cars are ‘the future’. Not a nice future, not a very fast, noisy, V8-rumbly future, but ‘a’ future. And if they’re going to be electric, they might as well be driverless because the whole point of driving is for fun and electric cars are as much fun to – Read More-
Don’t’cha just love facebook? Don’t’cha??? I ‘joined’ facebook about 5 years ago when a mate told me he’d ‘posted some great pictures’. ‘Can’t you just send them to me?’ I asked. Like, email them? Print them and post them over?? (He lives in France). ‘No need! Its easy!! Just join Facebook. Its free!!’ Look, I’ll – Read More-
Its Yom Kippur. The Day of ‘Atonement’. Heaviest duty day of the Jewish year. And I’m in the last hour of my self-imposed, 25-hour ‘fast’. Don’t eat. Don’t drink. Unless I really need to. Don’t nuffink. And don’t know why. I’m not a religious man. I’m not a believer. In fact I’m almost anti-religious. Yet – Read More-
Yesterday I received an email. That’s exciting, all by itself. But this one was special. ‘Dear A Conway’, it started, which is a rather alarming form of address really. I mean, was it for me? As in Andy Conway? Or just the indefinite article, ‘A’, like, any old Conway will do? But it went on: – Read More-
And it goes on. The contest to find the most unworthy person in America to become the next president. ‘Honest’ Hil or Dirty Don. Its farcical that out of 360 million people, they’ve ended up with these two. Lock-up-yer-Daughters Don and Protect-your-password Hillary. Hillary has made mistakes. Arguably marrying Bill was a big one. I’m – Read More-
“… and yes, I am do be finding Donald’s words to being unacceptable and inappropriate, but I is being glad to forgiving him and hoping you am too. And if not speaking with sincerity I am on very next plane back to Slovenia for penniless eating of cabbage for rest of life poverty, no Prada, – Read More-
With a whole month to go before the American elections, Hillary has now, officially, ‘peaked too soon’. Doesn’t say it in the papers, nor the pundits, newspeople, but I’m saying it. She has now reached the ‘total fucking gutter’ of electioneering, leaving no-where else to go. She can get no lower, and she’s trying, she’s – Read More-
Tempers get heated at a UKIP ‘meeting’. In Strasbourg. Two UKIPpers ‘take it outside’ where an altercation occurs and one of them ends up in hospital after suffering seizures. That one was Steven Wolfe, one of the potential new leaders of their party. Nigel Farage, the leader, ex-leader, leader-again, ex-leader-again, now temporary leader once more, – Read More-
There are times in one’s life when choices need to be made. Sometimes uncomfortable choices. Big choices. Sophie’s choices. ‘Should I eat the lamb or the beef?’ Sometimes even more important than even that. ‘Should I vote Trump or Clinton?’ ‘Go to the football or out for dinner?’ That fine, upstanding nation of Iran (???) – Read More-
I’m always amazed when I look at the American presidential campaigns. Because they’re so different from our own. I know, we don’t have Presidents, we have a Queen, God bless her, and no-one votes for her. But we have Prime Ministers and that role has certainly, over the last 20 or so years, become much – Read More-
