veggie…

Jeremy Corbyn is a vegetarian. If that alone is insufficient to turn you into a major league carnivore then I simply can’t help you any longer. Although Jeremy Corbyn is also an anti-semite but I’m not suggesting that you all similarly convert to Judaism. Though perhaps you should? Maybe its time for Jews, who never – Read More-

the end…

Is this the end of facebook? Has it faced its last book? Booked its… whatever. Is it even possible that the world’s biggest… errr… thing, with 27million users, possibly 3.7 billion or 1.43 trillion (neither know nor care), and valued at about 426 billion dollars (or was til last tuesday), could simply vanish from our – Read More-

fat chance…

Obesity is the second highest cause of cancer in the UK. So if you think you could lose weight by taking up a hobby like, say, smoking, to remove those food cravings, probably best not to because smoking is still, unsurprisingly, number one on the list. If you’re a fat smoker, it was nice knowing – Read More-

WTF…

There’s a new brothel opened up in Paris. In the haughty 14th Arondisment. Well, nothing new there then, French, sex, prostitutes… plus ca change, non? But this is a change. Because this particular brothel has no women. No girls. No hags even. Just dolls. Sex toys. You pay… well, I’m not saying ‘you’ in any – Read More-

suspense…

Uber have suspended the driverless car which killed a pedestrian in Arizona. Without pay. And pending police action to see whether the modified Volvo C90 will have to appear in court to face charges. That’s what I saw in the distorting image of my warped mind. The headline actually read that Uber have suspended the – Read More-

keep shtum…

Pick up the ringing phone; there’s a pause on the line for 5 seconds, then noise, lots of background noise, as if… as if… as if there were 300 people sitting in an office in New Delhi all on the phone at the same time as a heavily accented voice asks “Is this Mister Andrew – Read More-

fatty feeder…

There was a wonderful documentary a few years ago about the phenomenon of ‘fatty feeding’. Where normal, thin, regular people enable seriously obese people (normally their partners) to consume masses. They encourage them. They buy them ‘little treats’, like a sack of cream doughnuts, a wheelbarrow full of bacon sandwiches, even though they know that – Read More-

You put 23 intelligence agents in, you pull 23 intelligence agents out, ya slag off the president, shake him all about, ya do the Hokey Kremlin and ya suffer from gout, that’s what its all abaaaart… (repeat til you get bored or are murdered by ex-KGB agents). We’re taking ‘sanctions’ against those horrible, nasty, evil, – Read More-

masterful…

Nonchalance is a wonderful and underused word and a consummate skill for the true exponent. And having just read a wonderful article in the Times which should have been entitled “I LOVE LIONEL MESSI WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!” but actually bore a slightly more eloquent and objective strap-line, it lead me onto nonchalant. The ability – Read More-

lila day…

They’re funny things, children. Especially babies. They don’t say much that you’d wanna repeat but they do lots. Most of which is blatantly destructive, but all of which is really funny. Odd. Bizarre. Illogical. But they do it with such a charm, such wonderful total innocence that even Mel can’t get upset that the entire – Read More-
