Funereal…

I’m thinking about my health. As I went to a funeral yesterday and that’s what you do. And I’m so relieved. Because yesterday in the paper they said that playing tennis increases your lifespan by 9 years. Holy shit. If I played more tennis I could never die!!! Because surely if you start playing at, – Read More-

It’s a game…

Now that’s football. The (current world champion and favourites) American women beat the Thai women 13-0 last night in their womenly World Cup match. Nothing feminine about that score. The Thai team offered a free massage to every American player after their very happy ending. I mean 13-nil!!! Were the Thais using a Scottish goalkeeper – Read More-

At – Read More-

A first…

So the Sunday Times had a poll. ‘Should women footballers be paid the same as men?’ Oohhhh, that’s controversial. But in fact it ain’t. Not at all. Nothing to do with sexism, equality or anything else; its just economics. The boys’ game is funded by tv rights. For which the tv companies pay, literally, billions. – Read More-

Priorities…

Last week I had cause to mention, in a rather complimentary, supportive and positive way, Peter Willsman, after he was suspended from the Labour Party for anti-semitism. For the second time. And thus suspended from his exalted role on that party’s ‘national executive’. Pending ‘investigation’. Which Labour are really good at. They may not be – Read More-

Image control…

Michael Gove is a drug addict! Michael Gove uses cocaine!!! Michael Gove took cocaine a couple of times!! Michael Gove made a mistake!!! So we learn today that 20 years ago Michael Gove, minister for something-or-other, or possibly not, but Tory leadership candidate and all round good guy, took cocaine (!!!!!) on a few occasions – Read More-

Lila and Joey…

There! I’ve said it. Lila and JOEY. Or, as she says, ‘Doey’, which cracks me up every time and I have to remember not to call him that myself or his mum gets upset that YOU DON’T ENCOURAGE SPEECH MISTAKES! even when you really love them and wish them entrenched into common law.

He’s here…

Trump’s here. He’s basically a big fat Daily Mail. Right wing. Reactionary. Inappropriate. Writes a load of rubbish. But here he is. Yesterday he put on a fat suit. Sorry, a morning suit, to have dinner with the Queen and a few mates, even though it was in the evening. They had lamb. If you’re – Read More-
