When do you not mind the rain? Ok, when its nighttime and you’re in, that’s fine. ‘Good for the garden’. And the (only) other time is when you’re supposed to be playing tennis but can’t find anyone to play with. Then the rain’s good. Because you (errrr, or ‘me’, probably) don’t feel you’ve missed out. – Read More-
For the last two weeks the indoor pool at Mel’s gym has been closed for maintenance. Ok, not the end of the world, but a pain. Because she swims there 4 times a week doing on average 2km a day. So by now she’s 16km off where she should be. Which is like being in – Read More-
I fasted. Yesterday. Yom Kippur. The fast day. 25 hours, no food. Not a morsel. Then you go to someone’s house, in our case that of my brother, and eat 72 hours worth of food in 22 minutes. The 25 hours is the ‘rule’, the other statistics just mere testament to piggishness. The best piggishness – Read More-
I gotta new iPad. And I’m hating it already. If the ‘set up’ process’ doesn’t kill you then the added new features will drive you insane within 2 days. Plus the additional benefit of every time you press something new it wants to give you lectures, tutorials, videos, instructions and, basically TOO MUCH INFORMATION. It – Read More-
When you’re bored with New York, you’re bored with life. Can’t remember who said that but I’ll bet he was a New Yorker. Now the new one is: when you’re bored with Brexit, you’re bored with Brexit. So good they said it twice. Or so bad, as is the case. But its understandable. You would – Read More-
I really don’t want to talk about football. Even though I missed it last weekend, it can be so horrible as to be totally depressing. I’m looking forward to next season now. This one’s finished. But I had a row the other day. At the Library. Where I take Lila for her nursery rhyme half – Read More-
Well that’s it then. We now know that Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov are innocent of all claims that they tried to murder the Skripals in Salisbury back in March. They couldn’t have done it because they simply didn’t have time. They came on a whirlwind visit to measure the steeple on Salisbury Cathedral (123 – Read More-
Politics is a serious business. Its about running the country, our lives, our tax bills. Can’t get more serious than that. Yet I tend to make judgments about people by their humour, rather than their seriosity (new word to describe the terminally humourless). And I’m not the most natural Conservative voter, let the truth be – Read More-
When ‘the future’ arrives, then what happens to tomorrow? These are the questions I ask myself in the shower. Important questions. Stupid questions. Questions that have you chewing a tile. But the future is where we’re all headed so its worth giving it some minor consideration at least. I don’t mean fucking pension planning, I – Read More-
So accusations of Labour’s anti-semitism is poo-pooed by the left as ‘just trying to discredit Corbyn’. Even though Corbyn joined Hamas and (figuratively) danced on the graves of murdered Israeli athletes, he is absolutely NOT an anti-semite, its just a conspiracy by the right wing to oust their beloved leader. But then the anti-anti-semites want – Read More-
