runaway…

I’ve found the answer. Not sure precisely what the question is, but the answer is painfully obvioius, simple, elegant and achieved by a laterality of thinking that would make Edward de Bono proud. London is the centre of the world. Well, certainly of my world. And, according to reports, of many other people’s too. So – Read More-

adrift…

So here’s what you do: you get a manager to run your football team and you give him massisve power over finances, over training, over development and recruitment and you pay him a small fortune, the turnover of several small companies, to do his job. And then, after a relatively short period of time, you – Read More-

funerial…

I had to attend a funeral yesterday afternoon. It was a horrible day, wet, cold and bleak. And standing on some little patch of desolate countryside in the northern reaches of the borough of Enfield as poor Uncle Charlie was laid to rest, all was fairly miserable and gloomy. Then I came home and watched – Read More-

MOVIE NIGHT…

Can you imagine going to see a movie, in which there was some post-apocalyptic dystopia, a nightmare world, like in Mad Max or Escape from New York, some place where there are no dentists, where teeth are all black and crooked and drunks and wild men roam the streets, shouting, screaming, pissing everywhere, fighting, all – Read More-

really clever…

See that bloke over there? In the gutter? Vomit down his tie; stupid grin stuck on his face; unable to stand; bottle of Asda Special Reserve Vodka (£3.26/litre) in his hand??? Fucking clever that bloke. Really brilliant. Frikkin genius. A psychologist told me. Because test have shown (yep, more bloody tests, its like the scientific – Read More-

football crazy…

Its just mental. I don’t know what, specifically, but its just mental. Innit? Queens Park Rangers have plans to move from Loftus Road, their home for over 100 years, to a new mega-site in Willesden. In NW10. I live in NW11, so that’s really just ‘1’ away from here!!! Ok, the London area numbers are – Read More-

to boldly pray…

Can you split an infinitive? Can you actually pray ‘boldly’ as opposed to humbly, sincerely, smirkingly, fires of hellishly? Who cares? My point is that they have officially confirmed that Scientology is ‘a religion’. In my eyes, and in those of any good Something-fearing person (even if that which you fear is only losing to – Read More-

a woman scorned…

If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, how about a woman pissed off by inappropriate behaviour by her husband at a memorial service? Like Michelle Obama in this picture of a picture taken at the Mandela memorial in Johannasberg yesterday. Barak and David Cameron, flirting with each other and with Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Danish – Read More-

morals maketh the man…

Going against a US government request for all flags to be flown at half mast following the death of Nelson Mandela, the sheriff of Pickens, South Carolina, refused to do so over the courthouse/schoolroom/poolhall/brothel in his town, because Mandela ‘wasn’t American’. So I’m thinking here a kind of Dukes of Hazzard kind of sheriff; white – Read More-

genius…

Are you intelligent? Then prove it. Do something clever. Right now. Go on. You can’t, can you. No. Because intelligence is not like that. In fact its not really like anything. You can’t even judge it by behaviour, otherwise you’d have to think Boris Johnson was thick because he acts like a buffoon. And he’s – Read More-
