Holidays…

I’m going on holiday today. Really looking forward to it. We’re going to Watford. I’ve bought a few tour guide books, (the longest being 3 pages long which includes listings of the services at the General Hospital), done my research about the history and environs (took 4 minutes), I’ve done the online check-in and I’m – Read More-

shit storm…

Yesterday the entire nation came to terms with the implications and consequences of Boris’s suspension of parliament. Some were concerned on the effect on Brexit, others by the sheer rudeness of it. There are those concerned with how unconstitutional the action appears, others suggest that it could even be illegal. There have already been protests – Read More-

Red red wine…

Goes to my hea-ea-ea-ea-ead, and to my gut. And there it does magical, marvelous, magnificent things and creates a super-bacterial environment that will make me live an extra 40 years. And they don’t know why, they just know it does. And its a super ‘anti-oxidant’ and we love one’a them. And apparently even if you – Read More-

once upon a time…

Once upon a time there was a handsome prince, who lived with his special princess in a castle in North London. Well, due to the increasing costs of heating and the difficulties of energy conservation, this Prince and Princess downgraded to a mere ‘house’. For the good of the environment. The real estate version of – Read More-

Anything but football…

I don’t want to talk about football. My team aren’t playing at the moment, so neither am I. That’s it. I cannot live in a loveless world. And there is no love at Spurs currently. Just what happens when a bunch of mercenaries that you delude yourself into thinking ‘love the shirt’, mainly because they’re – Read More-

Judgmental…

Glasgow University is giving 20 million quid to the Caribbean to organise a ‘slave history’ centre at a university there. That’s the good bit. All donations are good, to worthy causes, and all advancement in education and academia is a good thing. So we’re happy about that. Its when they band abound terms like ‘reparations’, – Read More-

Swiftly…

Taylor Swift is in trouble. On her newly released album is a track about London. Her boyfriend is from London. In fact from just up the road in Highgate. So Taylor turns her lyrical flair to My city and her newfound love for it. Or for him. Or both. Gets a bit blurred with all – Read More-

Sins of the father…

And the sins of the fathers shall be suffered unto their… brothers? Supposed to be sons, I know, but royalty does it different. So Harry gets in right royal storm over personally destroying the world’s atmosphere by jumping on a private jet and his brother gets the strongest punishment possible. William and family took a – Read More-

Race…

If Sadio Mane was racially abused for missing a penalty kick, I would blame ‘the good people of Liverpool’. But when its Paul Pogba of Manchester United who has been mercilessly hounded on social media, racially and horribly, for missing his penalty on Monday night, I have to blame the good people of Croydon, Hammersmith, – Read More-

A.B.C…

David Cameron’s legacy lives on. When, in a fit of UKIP-induced panic, the then Prime Minister announced Britain would have an ‘in/out’ vote on Europe, he caused, in that single moment, divisions in the land that may never be healed. This is our ‘War of the Roses’ for the digital generation. And it goes from – Read More-
