pro-posterous…

Helen Wood is a prostitute. A ‘good one’. Though I don’t speak from personal experience. I’d never heard of her (honest!) until Tuesday when it was revealed that she’d had sex with an actor. Wow. That’s big news (yawn, yawn). Well, it would have been big news except the actor, ‘PJS’, as he’s known, or – Read More-

unbelievable…

This is a nice photo. For you information, the proper ‘wet fish’ is on the left. The other is Zac Goldsmith. A lot of people couldn’t work that out, so its just for clarification. I’m not sure which one I’d rather see as mayor of London, once the votes are counted. But before they’re counted – Read More-

on the fifth day…

On the first day God created the Heaven and the Earth. On the second day He (or she?) created crawling things; slugs, worms, Arsenal fans, lizards. On the third day… And on the fifth day He stopped to vote. Ok there was a sixth day for something else, and a seventh day was declared the – Read More-

all gone bonkers…

The City of Leicester is in a state of ‘bonkers’. The whole place. There’s nothing much else to do there so you might as well do that bonkers thing. And ‘bonkers’ is good. Its the nice side of mob rule, the happy bit. Blue and white wigs, blue-and-white face paint, pretty much anything blue and – Read More-

gratuitous…

Iss’a funny ole game… So we’re not going to win the league this year. I’ve not really been under any illusions that we would. Since the first home game of the season when we threw away a 2 goal lead to allow Stoke back in the game. Since we lost at home to Newcastle. And – Read More-

mayday, mayday…

Ahhh, the MayDay holiday today, even though official ‘mayday’ was officially yesterday. Officially. So rather than hurling bricks at Goldman Sachs and setting fire to various Starbucks, the normal Mayday rioters took to Clerkenwell to listen to the great Jeremy Corbyn address the masses. I’d rather paint a wall. So I did. In Mel’s study. – Read More-

long division…

The world is being divided. Round here it is, anyway. Not just between the anti-semites and the good people, but so much division. And its bad. Its… divisive. The Labour Party is now totally divided over the Ken Livingstone ‘shit’. If he’s thrown out of the party for his comments, the left will be in – Read More-

the jewish question…

Throughout history the Jews have existed so that the rest of the world has someone to blame. For all the shit that goes wrong; the Jew(s) did it. Whatever ‘it’ may be. So they were persecuted throughout most of biblical time by various versions of Egyptians, Canaanites, Assyrians, whoever was around and could wield a – Read More-

you’ll never walk alone…

The Hillsborough disaster was a game-changer. Quite literally. It changed the game I loved. Or rather, it changed the way it was watched. As a consequence of Hillsborough, all top flight grounds became ‘all seating’. I hated it at the time and sometimes I still do. I watch in on tv whilst standing up, but – Read More-

gan-green…

On Sunday night’s news they announced that British Home Stores, BHS, was about to go into receivership. My first thought was: “are they still around??” I thought they’d gone the way of Woolworths decades ago. They were a store from my childhood and I curiously assumed they’d ended when I entered adulthood. I no longer – Read More-
