may contain nuts…

I love a bit of science. And especially when it justifies and encourages something I love. I’ve always been waiting for ‘tests have shown that watching football makes you incredibly fit and strong and will lengthen your life as well as your penis’. I’m still waiting for that one. It’ll have its day in the – Read More-

yeee-haaaah…

There’s big news from Texas. Criminals beware, baddies are quaking, because in the Lone Star State, the big guns are coming out. Literally. Because bizarrely, Texas is one of only four states in the US where carrying a handgun openly is currently illegal, and has been for over a century. And this ‘blatant crime against – Read More-

good clean fun…

Pugnacious Arsenal midfield moron, Jack Wilshere, has complained after the Football Association found him guilty of misconduct at the Arsenal FA Cup celebrations. What he did, or said in this case, is largely unimportant. His justification is far more interesting. In that he feels hard done by for this punishment (a fine, in all likelihood, – Read More-

just a man…

There’s a great line in the old Country classic, ‘stand by your man’, in which Tammy Wynette shrieks (she always shrieks), that you have to forgive him, ignore his failings, give him a blanket pass, ‘cos, after all, he’s just a ma-an’. He’s just a man. So what can you expect? He’s just a man. – Read More-

listen up…

Went to see a movie last night. Called ‘Listen up, Phil’. Yep, this is no Hollywood blockbuster, which is great, I’m sufficiently smug to prefer art-house over ‘blow-up-the-house’ any day. So we went to our local Indy movie-place and took our seats. There were, I reckon, 40 people in there. About 200 empty seats. And – Read More-

rules of attraction…

“What was it that first attracted (tall, blond, slim, young) you to that old, short, fat, bald but exceptionally rich ****?” so once asked ‘Mrs Merton’ of Debbie McGee, the wife of Paul Daniels. Fantastic question. And funny because it speaks volumes. It makes judgments. Ok, so this is Irina Shayk, the ex-bird of Christiano – Read More-

sweetness and light…

Ok, you have two choices. Firstly that the universe was created in the ‘big bang’, from nothing, and expanded from an infinitely dense singularity, or single point, containing the entire mass of the known universe, to become just what it is today. Or, you can add God to the equation, say ‘He done it’ and – Read More-

its over…

Sepp has resigned. The ancient Swiss tosser has fallen on his sword, despite the ‘resounding success’ of being voted to continue as president of FIFA just last Friday. Which itself was a meaningless endorsement of a flawed and failed man by the very cronies responsible for the current shambles in World Football. No-one should hold – Read More-

its complicated…

We need to talk about God. He’s becoming a bit of a problem. The Church of England is in a crisis. Again. This time its falling numbers. While you can’t get a season ticket for the Emirates without a 20 year wait, you can join any church in the land today, at no charge. Because – Read More-

the world ends…

Ok, the football season ends; same difference. The penultimate game of the entire season, Arsenal had a lucky win over Villa at Wembley to retain the FA Cup and to celebrate it they caused an almighty traffic jam round the whole of Islington, parts of Haringey and half of Hoxton. Or, ‘an open-top-bus-parade’ as they – Read More-
