You know when sometimes, after fretting about something for ages, and worrying and seeking understanding and enlightenment, suddenly, the mist lifts, the clouds part, the curtains are opened and suddenly JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD STANDS BEFORE ME… Ok, well its not quite like that; I don’t do much of that religious thing. But I can – Read More-
Arsene Wenger has been royally pissed off this week (or, as they say where he comes from: ‘plus ca change’) because of tv scheduling. Nothing to do with Game of Thrones, series VII, being screened when he’s out at carpet-weaving class, nor that Alsace’s Got Talent will not be shown this year due to no – Read More-
I don’t know who I’m going to miss more: David Cameron or Gisele Bundchen. Its a troubling thought as the German-sounding Brazilian supermodel (errr, that’ll be Gisele) retires from her career of posing, pouting and preening, just as Cameron is about to become the next ex-Prime Minister of Her Majesty’s Kingdom of, blah, blah, blah. – Read More-
So its happened; the manifestos have been announced. Those promises stating what the political parties will and won’t do ‘when’ they’re elected to power. Right.

The Chinese are in uproar. They are disgusted by the disgraceful behaviour of Lewis Hamilton, Formula One’s favourite dwarf and on-off, on-off, on-off, on-off… on-off boyfriend of Nicole Scherzinger.

…Raheem. The Liverpool fans haven’t yet ‘turned’ on Raheem Sterling. Even though their young superstar is at this moment still refusing the new contract that will keep him at Anfield. They haven’t gone into death-threat-mode like they did when Steven Gerrard spoke of leaving all those years ago. But it maybe just a matter of – Read More-
On Friday, England suffered its worst smog attack of the year. Is it an attack? A situation?? A state of affairs??? Whatever, shit in the air and lots of it. Most of the country reached a whopping score of 9. Ok, that’s out of 10. Obviously. If it was out of 217 we wouldn’t even – Read More-
Where were you in 1968? Not born yet? Babe in arms?? Or just a kid? Like I was. But old enough to dig that groovy music scene. The Beatles, The Who, The Stones. And the Kinks. Ahhhh, the Kinks. How we loved ’em. They were ‘earthy’. Real people (ie common as muck and spoke badly, – Read More-
Whilst over here Ed Miliband is wondering whether he’s got the bus fare to take him to Rochester to make a speech (which no-one is fucking interested in fucking hearing!!!!!), or whether Ed Balls will lend him a tenner til Tuesday, over in America they’re also getting ready for an election next year. For which – Read More-
Rules and stereotypes, the twin evils of our lives. The enemies of a true and free-thinking existence. Yet they are so entrenched. So were you to hear that the Queen is really into reggae, but the early, hardcore, Jamaican stuff, you’d be shocked. (She’s not, she’s actually into punk and likes spitting in her private – Read More-
