Its tropical here in London today. Don’t know what its like in Scotland but I’d guess at miserable. For 45% of the population anyway. Its cloudy here, a little rainy, though not enough to keep superheroes like me and Spurs Paul off the tennis courts, however slippery they may become. (for ‘superhero’; read: ‘idiot’). But – Read More-
The Queen was in Glasgow when she formally met Alex Salmond, Scotland’s First Minister. EIIR: “How nice to see you Mr. Salmond.” AS: “Nice to see you Your Majesty. Now, what are we going to call Scotland when we win Independence? EIIR: “Oh dear, one hasn’t considered that yet!” AS: “How about calling it a – Read More-
Ahhhh the Champions League. The league of, er, champions. Europe’s finest. Except Spurs. We were only allowed to play in it once and were the best team there by miles. For just a wee while. Ahhhhh… But now all is not so pretty. Not that I saw any of the matches so far but that’s – Read More-

“THERE’S A FUCKING GREAT HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER!!!!!” they exclaimed (hence the exclamation marks; if they’d just kind of ‘said’ it, we wouldn’t need the punctuation). “AUSTRALIA WILL MELT!!!!! THE SEAS WILL RECEDE!!!! ELEPHANTS WILL GO BLIND!!!! THE WORLD WILL END!!!!!!!” “THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT OUR PLANET FROM DYING IS TO STOP USING – Read More-
Its all to play for. The season’s young. There’s everything to win, nothing to lose. Its a fair game. Except when its not particularly fair. Its not fair for Chelsea to have bought Diego Costa and then use him to personally destroy the high hopes of Swansea. Its not fair that Spurs pissed away 100 – Read More-
Not a lot of people know this but I have a degree in psychology. Doesn’t everybody? No??? Well, I do. And the reasons are historic, complex and involve impressing women and being easily led astray; the story of my life. And of course, I’ve forgotten most of the stuff, because a. that’s what you do, – Read More-
A few years ago Wayne Rooney, noted England captain and Manchester United player (almost-)extraordinaire (sometimes), wanted a ‘better deal’ from his club. Upset that he was ‘only’ earning about £150,000 each week, barely enough to keep him in granny porn mags, he demanded more. The club refused on the grounds that ‘YOU EARN MORE THAN – Read More-
This is Spurs new stadium. And its wonderful. It will become a beacon for the good, the holy, the noble and the brave.
