bananas…

Do you like bananas? There’s an 80% chance that your answer is ‘yes’. We all love bananas. Except the 20% of bananaphobes who obviously don’t. So for practical purposes we can simply ignore them and consider just those of us who love those little yellow packages of wonderfulness. I eat a banana every day. Mainly – Read More-

a knight’s tale…

Every time there’s an Olympic games new sports seem to arrive, be included, get invented. Last time it was tennis. Never previously olympicised, now part of the games. Before that was basketball. Might as well just give an extra gold medal to America and save the air fares. This year they’re introducing golf and rugby – Read More-

Russian Roulette…

They’re gonna kick the Russians out of the Olympic games. In Rio. In a couple weeks time. We really need to kick the Americans out too, then we’d have a much better chance of winning loads and loads of medals. But the Americans don’t take drugs. Not in an institutionalised, Government-sponsored, state-aided, industrial kind’a way. – Read More-

bad egg…

In the bad ole days of football, the early 1970s, extreme right wing organisations would recruit from football fans. It was easy. No mention of politics, ideology or social justice was required. Just the fact that if you joined the National Front (which no longer exists, being replaced by the also defunct British National Party – Read More-

call my bluff…

There’s only ever been one atomic bomb fired ‘in anger’. It hit Hiroshima in 1945 and a couple months later the war ended. You may have heard of this event. It was big. Sorry, it was BIGGGG!!!!!! And horrendous. Awful. Three generations later, they still haven’t got over it completely. Nuclear matter doesn’t ‘die’, it – Read More-

just go…

Have you played the amazing Pokemon Go yet? NOOOO???? Where are you? 1975?? For fuck’s sake stay with the plot. Pokemon Go is the biggest thing since the wheel. Since the bicycle. Since internal combustion engines. Since the death of internal combustion engines. Since Wales in the Euros. Ok, its big, you get the idea. – Read More-

world fuckage…

I worry for the world. All of it. Ok, my bit of it. Its fucked. Totally. By people intent on death and destruction of ‘the western way of life’. And I hate them. Simply hate them. Not enough that I would take my own life to destroy them, or to meaninglessly destroy some symbol of – Read More-

recovery…

We need to talk about health. Mine. Because its important. And having just survived a possibly near-fatal dose of man-cold, I feel qualified to relate useful information, dispel some popular myths and tell you of my heroic struggle against this horrendous disease. The ISIS of the nasal passages. Monday night I have a sore throat. – Read More-

wow…

Summer’s here. Well, its sunny this morning, that’ll have to do. All the sport’s finished now. Ok, we have the Olympics coming soon, to a Zika virus near you, (can it be transmitted through the tv??) but they’ve basically removed all sport and replaced it with golf. Great. Usually politics winds down too at this – Read More-

china syndrome…

I’d never heard of the Spratly Islands until I saw a BBC news report in which they sent a little plane over the area to film recent developments on these gorgeous little, uninhabited islands in the South China Sea. Suddenly a voice boomed out of the plane’s radio, heavily accented but if there was any – Read More-
