Driverless cars are here. Ok, most round my way are just kind’a ‘parked’, so they’re allowed to be driverless. But I’m talking about proper cars that don’t require a driver whilst moving, they do it themselves. With a little bit of software and a few sensors. And the winner in this race, possibly the most – Read More-
How much tax is ‘the right amount’? When you get your tax bill, it hurts. Every payslip seems to have two amounts on it, gross and net, separated by a small fortune. Everyone moans about tax. And yet moans even more if others aren’t paying their full whack. For doing what we’d all like to – Read More-
Men, feelings, always an issue. Men feeling up others, a particularly big issue in the current climate. But despite protestations to the contrary, men emphatically DO have feelings. Even above the waist, sometimes. Particularly when football is concerned. Then we can display deep feelings. Almost to the point of tears. Yes, men cry. And not – Read More-
I’d rented a flat in Hollywood, right opposite the Chevron I’d been working in. It was an easy commute. Of 20 to 45 seconds, depending on traffic. But long before that I’d realised that if I was to stay in LA I’d need wheels. There are no tube trains, no real trains (only really slow – Read More-
Last week I joked that I’m apparently the only person who (despite really trying hard) has never been sexually assaulted, abused or harassed. This week its no longer a joke. I am the only person. I mean, wtf??? First off we had Kevin Spacey. I mean; Kaiser Sause, for fuck’ sake. (Or was he???) molesting – Read More-
So I’m reading an online article yesterday about the Balfour Declaraion. As ya do. And on the ‘page’ were related articles. One of which said ‘read this about PPI, very important’, an article, not from those annoying bastards who phone up every 20 minutes through the entire working week to see if you’ve made your – Read More-
Ok, football is suddenly back on the agenda. No idea why, just one day the world is depressing and dire and football is a total waste of time and energy and then, ka-boom! it re-enters life in the most dominating and demanding fashion. It was a shitty 7 days. We were 2-nil up against West – Read More-
One Direction are bigger than the Beatles!!! Said so in the paper so it must be true. Because by some warped criteria for ‘bigness’, the four/five Tossers (depending on whether you count Zayn Malik now he’s left to become a full-time, solo, boyfriend-to-a-supermodel) have four members currently sitting at number 1 in America with solo – Read More-
I have a rule. Only one. And its fairly general. Almost a generalisation, but spared only because generalisations are generally wrong. The rule is this: if a man is accused of wrong-doing, he’s always guilty if his hair is dyed. Just as an extension (to the rule, not the hair), dyed hair on men is – Read More-
David Attenborough is 91 years old. That’s ancient. Makes me feel young. And yet makes he best tv programmes ever. As he has for 700 years. The latest series started last night, Blue Planet 2. About the seas. Hence ‘blue’. Goddit? And the sheer majesty of his programmes just sets them apart from every other – Read More-
