The Government yesterday stated its plans to ensure ‘high speed broadband’ for the whole country. Just like gas, electricity, water, the access to broadband is now deemed the stuff of life. Which indeed it is. And this is great news for those poor wretches, currently hooked up to a modem with half a kilometre of – Read More-
I just read a great piece about Norway. Small country on the left hand bit of mainland Scandinavia. Has lots of fjiords. And blondes. And herring. Like all Scandi-countries. Probably has lots of murders too because its dark half the year and all that Scandi-noire stuff, Girls with Dragon Tattoos, Wallander, The Bridge, must be – Read More-
I don’t do Eurovision. Never have. It was always and still is, way beneath me. I’m better than that. I listen to ‘proper’ music. Not nauso-pop played in ‘plink-plonk’ style by a troupe of lederhosen clad Germans, bearded Greeks in long dresses or Uzbekistani dwarves dressed as the Smurfs. Its crap. Its bollocks. Its an – Read More-
Pfizer, the drug giant, have refused to sell any more of their ‘lethal injection’ stuff to American prisons. Its a stand. A moral crusade. Itself very unusual for any drug company that they even know how to spell ‘morality’, let alone act upon it in the face of potential profits. So without the Pfizer ‘super-dead!!’ – Read More-

How awful it must be to feel that your life is so worthless, meaningless and disastrous that it just can’t go on. There’s only one way out. Kill yourself. Terrible. Tragic. And never more so than when you do it by jumping in front of a train. Worse still if its a tube train. And – Read More-
I wonder what other nations think of the British? Because of late, we’re really learning what ‘we’ think of them. First the Queen calls the Chinese ‘rude’ and then Cameron tells that very same Queen (we only have one) that Nigeria and Afghanistan are ‘the most corrupt nations on Earth’. The thing is, they can’t – Read More-
The latest ‘victim’ of the Panama Papers is Emma Watson. Hermione from ‘arry Potter, as she was known. She bought a little house for £3mil, as ya do, but it was actually acquired by a company in the British Virgin Islands. OFFSHORE!!!! The most lethal word/2 words in the world of shame. Of course, she – Read More-
Well, its good to know that our esteemed government learn from their mistakes. Having totally cocked up Zac Goldsmith’s mayoral campaign by using an endless stream of negativity, doomsday fiction and speculative association to try and impugn the main opposition, that opposition triumphed royally. And still the government maintained that the campaign was a righteous – Read More-
What are the best things in the world? Many answers are acceptable, as long as Arsenal isn’t one, nor anything to do with snakes, financial products, anything unnatural involving animals, olives (I hate olives) or Jeremy Corbyn. But right near the top of my list must be football and food. And, other than alliterative links, – Read More-
