insecure…

So we had Manchester, now we’re back on the election. But its a new election now. Economy’s important, Brexit’s Brexit but its all about who can make us safer. From terrorists, from ISIS, from all manner of loonies intent on causing pain and death because they’re bastards. And apparently we currently possess 23,000 jihadists in – Read More-

power rangers…

We need to stop using electricity. Like now. The planet’s dying. Carbon is the killer. In case you missed that. And generating electricity burns coal. That’s how we do it. Newton’s law: energy cannot be created, only changed from one form to another. So we burn hydrocarbons and they provide electricity that we need to – Read More-

fractious…

This is Lila. You all know her. She’s ‘my’ baby. Others may claim her but she’s mine. And I’ve posted one or two photos of her and she’s always gorgeous and happy and serene and wonderful. She’s that kind of baby. Ok, she has her moments, but they really are quite few and far between. – Read More-

dampener…

So the election’s in full swing, the sun’s shining, the football season has finished, leaving the game in ‘grand finale’ mode, starting tonight, if you don’t count the playoffs, with Manchester United playing Ajax in Stockholm for the EUFA Cup. Oddly the only trophy United have never lifted. Mainly because they’ve never been bad enough – Read More-

love story…

There’s a new dating app around. Just what the world needs; more people staring at phones rather than engaging with others and, like, kind’a, sort-of, like ‘meeting them’. But dating apps are big biz, big money and who am I to call the culture of the swipe ‘tripe’? Yet this new one is different. Rather – Read More-

the old problem…

Its an old problem. No, I mean, its a problem; the old. Old people. Millions of them. Where do we put them, how do we store them, what should we feed them, who’s gonna pay for them? Answer the last question first. Who’s gonna pay? Jeremy Corbyn wants all old people to be put in – Read More-

duke nuke ’em…

Would you press the ‘fire’ button on a nuclear missile? Would you actually be responsible for the imminent destruction of (possibly) millions of people, most of them uninvolved in whatever the row is about, even if there was similar coming our way? And if that was the case, what good would the ‘retaliatory strike’ do, – Read More-

no bottle…

That title is not about Lila, though she’d actually wear it on a baby-gro if they made one and if she could read, she’d have the tattoo. But its not. Its about Spurs. And the rather nasty and horrible accusations that we face every season of ‘bottling it’. By crumbling at the end of seasons. – Read More-

obsession…

On average a baby is awake for 12 hours a day. Yet it takes approximately 49 adult hours to cope with it. How is that possible? They’re only small. They don’t run away, don’t eat much so what’s the problem? The main problem is, as we found last night when Lila once again came with – Read More-

more plans…

Here’s a plan. Or we can call it a ‘manifesto’ if you like. Why not raise shit-loads of money by raising tax on London. Where all them rich bastards live. Where all those sodding banks lie, steal and cheat. By doing that, til they fucking bleed, we could raise… take away 7… add on NI… – Read More-
