I fear that with Chelsea’s win last night the title ‘race’ (if it was ever ‘on’) is over. Spurs are second in line, currently, and remain 10 points behind the Blues. And logically, who, do you reckon, are more likely to have a mini-collapse? A bad run? A blackout? Nervous breakdown or total meltdown? Who – Read More-
We were taken out for tea yesterday. As a ‘thank you’. I accept all the thanks ever offered. Especially if it comes with strawberry jam and clotted cream. We went to the quite stunning Rosewood Hotel in Holborn. No, not ‘quite’ anything, really really fucking stunning. And the ‘mirror room’ is what you’d expect; lavish, – Read More-
Now here’s a funny thing; Spurs are the latest ‘flat-track-bullies’ (and long may it last) who beat teams lower than they are but struggle against the mighty. And logically, that should always be the case. You beat teams who generally perform worse than you do and suffer against those consistently better. Ain’t rocket science. Yet – Read More-
Travis Kalanick, the big boss of all of Uber, had a bit of a row with one of his (millions of) drivers. And he lost it totally. And it was filmed. And went viral. Obviously. And he was ashamed and we were judgmental and everything’s gone to shit. But when you need to get to – Read More-
Leyton Orient football club are in deep doo-doo. Really deep. They are going to court this month to face a winding up order due to an unpaid tax bill of £250,000. That really winds me up. London’s second-oldest football club, dating to 1881, can leave the world forever due to an amount of unpaid tax – Read More-
What do you do about wannabe jihadis who wish to join their fellow psychos in ISIS? There’s a big noise about this, we stop them at airports, we detain them… and then what? They’re jihadis. They want to bring death, disruption and destruction to our way of life. They want to kill. They want to – Read More-
In the good ole days, boys used to go to football and gels would stay home and do their make-up, their nails, go shopping for a new dress. So that when their man came back from footy they’d be ready to go out. Her in her new finery and fresh from 5 hours of ‘me-time’, – Read More-
Have you seen the pictures of the murder of Kim Jong Nam? Little fat Korean geezer. Strolling through Kuala Lumpur airport and a Vietnamese woman rubs his face with a cloth that we later find contained an illegal chemical weapon of death. As opposed to a legal one. Toxic stuff. Minutes later KJN collapses and – Read More-
How wonderfully appropriate. Yesterday evening we went to the V&A to see ‘Revolution’ the story of the 60s. Not, like, all of it, just the good bits. The Beatles, sex, drugs, Woodstock, Vietnam, Ford Anglias, hippies, Lamborghini Miuras and untipped cigarettes. But of course, its heavily Beatle-fied because for many of US, they defined the – Read More-
You know that old saying that if you give millions of monkeys typewriters (old machine used to make words appear; like a word processor but better, clunkier, easier to make mistakes on; see ‘carbon paper’ section in History of 20th Century) for millions of years, one of them would randomly come up with the complete – Read More-
