I haven’t mentioned this before, because its rather shameful, but I have to admit that last December at my tennis club I tested positive for caffeine. We don’t so much have ‘random drug testing’ like they do at Wimbledon, more that in a club with an average age for members of about 79, incontinence is – Read More-
Do you remember when Volkswagen did that whole cheating thing with emissions testing of their diesel cars? Remember? Of course you do, it was only a few months ago. During which time nothing much has happened. Other than Jay Leno demanding someone goes to prison for the offences. He would. He’s American. I’m only surprised – Read More-
Yay though verily didst become the Season not finished strange and undone And inst such turmoil, The Arse didst arrive, at the Lane of Whitest Hart in the hope they mightst thrive. Though chastened by resultage poor of late, For this match those Goons indeed could not wait The chance to level the points, balance – Read More-
This is everything. This is the season. This is MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!! All distilled into 90 minutes this lunchtime. Everything else is irrelevant. There is no ISIS. Donald Who?? Euro-bollox; who cares? National Debt?? Global warming?? All meaningless. I’m off to play tennis now. In the rain but I don’t care. I don’t really care – Read More-
There’s been another ‘study’. And we all love one’a them. About gender roles in the home, this time. Oddly its been done by Oxfam. Though why they are spending money due to be sent to starving Africans on worrying about who’s doing the housework over here is beyond me. I don’t give to Oxfam, I – Read More-
Its a funny ole game. Thus spake Jimmy Greaves. Football! Phah!! And what about pressure? That’s a funny ole thing too. And we went to West Ham with lofty aspirations and dreams of untold wonderness and we fucking blew it. Having beaten a host of teams that no-one expected us to, we played a game – Read More-
Politics is different over here. We really have no-one quite like Donald Trump. Well, thinking about it, there is no-one else anywhere quite like the Trumpster. We have loud, screechy billionaire property magnates, we call them Alan Sugar. We have racists and bigots, we call them UKIP, or sometimes just ‘Wayne’. We have circus entertainers, – Read More-
How appropriate in the week following the Racist Oscars weekend that the ‘colour’ black should feature once more in the news. And not just any black. But Vantablack. The blackest black ever invented. And invented it needs to be. Black doesn’t really exist in real life but has to be made. And its not a – Read More-
I’m not quite sure if ‘this is the week that defines our season’ or if it already started last weekend, when we were brutally cheated out of the FA cup by Palace. Or if it really began on Thursday night with our wonderful win against Fiorentina? Arguably ‘the week’ began back in August when we – Read More-
Well, no-one black, that’s for sure. The Oscars don’t do ‘colour’, aren’t interested in ‘minority’, I’m amazed that they even have prizes for women. But I suppose otherwise they’d have to do away with the ‘casting couch’ and other fringe benefits. So keep the women in. Just don’t pay them too much. You can always – Read More-
