This is no time for fence sitting. You’ll only get splinters in your bum. This is a time for Europe. And our future within it. Or without it. In politics as well as football. And decisions have to be made. This picture is of sweet blond, Eva Van Housen. She sits on no fences. EVER!! – Read More-
I’ve heard of the ‘naughty step’ where errant children are forced so sulk whilst contemplating the errors of their ways. That its not acceptable to show your hatred of broccoli by dumping it into grandma Gina’s lap.

The sandwich bar chain, Pret, is opening a pop-up in Soho to test a new concept in Pretism; vegetarian food only. Oooooh, that’s radical.

No ripped six-packs and motor-cycle chases – Read More-
Here’s a moral dilemma for you. Little boy falls into a gorilla’s pen a the zoo. Gorilla appears to help little boy get steady. Then picks him up, walks round with him for a bit, ok, drags him round a bit too, then looks puzzled. Though how ‘puzzlement’ is assessed on the face of a – Read More-
Ok, Real Madrid beat neighbours Athletico in the Champions League final last night to officially end the entire official football season, in any properly official way. Its over. Finished. Normally gone til August but for the transfer mania that generally erupts about now even though no-one decent will actually put their name to a contract – Read More-
I don’t give a shit about Johnny Depp. Not a toss. Can’t stand him. Looks like he needs a good scrub. Never seen the attraction. He was brilliant in Scissorhands but then his career has been in nose-dive along with his love life. Divorced his long (Hollywood relative) term wife, blond skinny waif, married an – Read More-
