I know my rights. No taxation without representation. I pay my taxes. Then I pay more. Its all very well for George Osbourne to get all smug and complacent about ‘how well the economy is doing’ due to a few obscure economic criteria which affect not one ‘real’ person in this country. George has never – Read More-
Well its been a rather dull January transfer window in the footballing world. Though many are heeding past mistakes and the received wisdom that January transfers tend to be panic buys which end in misery. Except for Spurs, who manage to achieve the same end in August. After our ‘summer spree’, spending over £100million on – Read More-
Have you ever bought anything through Amazon? Of course you have. Everyone has. Not just ‘has’, in the past but still does and will do again. Because they’re brilliant. Fast, great value and amazingly efficient. But best of all, if you have a problem, they are simply brilliant at sorting it out. Brilliant. What makes – Read More-
Its a funny thing, the movies. Whilst playing tennis with Spurs Paul yesterday we discussed American Hustle. He’d loved it whereas I’d hated it (all of it except Jennifer Lawrence, of course). Well, maybe not hated it because of some truly fantastic performances, but it just didn’t work for me. Whereas it really worked for – Read More-
What do you do on the Sabbath? Whenever that may be. Friday/Saturday/Sunday, they all work for me. And I work on all of them. Because the seventh day has been changed from ‘…ye shall rest’ to ‘…ye shall shop’. That happened when they relaxed Sunday opening hours. Though for some of us its Saturday that’s – Read More-
Its traditional for New York mayors to introduce ‘zero tolerance’ to something or other. Its kind’a expected of them. Rudy Giuliano started it with his zero tolerance to crime. And he cleaned up the city completely over his term. Got rid of ‘no-go’ areas, cleansed, sanitised, removed the drug dealers, reduced muggings, it was a – Read More-
Oh my word. What a disgrace. How shameful. Forget groping Lib-Dem Lords, set aside quenelle gestures by footballers; Spearmint Rhino and the Apartheid regime are both insignificant as gestures of racism and sexism, compared to… to… to THIS!!!! Dasha Zhukova is sitting on a CHAIR!!!!! What a total BITCH!!!!!! (what’s ‘bitch’ in Russian?) But what – Read More-
I believe in freedom. Amen. I believe in personal liberty. But not taking liberties with others. Even if you’re a politician. Especially if you’re a relic of a 1970s radio jock. I don’t like censorship, I believe in the sanctity of free speech and expression and I think people should be given sufficient lattitude in – Read More-
Its amazing, profound and highly significant. I just googled to see what ‘bitch’ is in French. Not that most French people wouldn’t understand, if not the word itself, certainly the tone in which it is uttered. But what I found was 756,371 sites (ok, I didn’t count them all, but certainly more than 20) dedicated – Read More-
David Silvester, a councillor in Henley and representative of the UKIP party, has been suspended by that sorry band of reactionary, stick-in-the-mud, pre-Victorian racists and other Daily Mail readers, because of some comments he made. He said that the recent terrible flooding in his and other areas was a direct message from God to David – Read More-
