Yesterday was international Women’s Day. Errrr, 2019. Probably. Which is a massive day in the life of all… international women. Local ones can carry on ironing and cooking and getting pipes and slippers ready for when their ‘man’ comes home from work, whisky in her hand. I celebrated this day myself by living it as – Read More-
Scientists are working on nanobots. Why not? They’ve gotta do something. And these nanobots are like little doctors who will cure and make you all better, but from the inside. They are truly microscopic little robots, the width of a human hair, but have a million transistors in them, as many as a Nintendo 64, – Read More-
Spurs took just one point from their first three group matches in this years’ champions league campaign. That’s shit. Really shit. So much shit that you actually enter the uncharted realms of probability. ‘No team has EVER come back to qualify after scraping just one point from their first 3 matches’. But come back we – Read More-
Volvo cars are to be speed capped at 112mph (180kph). Which is nothing to do with Volvo forever being the ‘dull-as-dishwater’ brand of ultra-‘safe’ Scandi motoring, but more to do with Volvo being… errrr… dull-as-dishwater and safe and… errrr… I know about road safety. All about it. Because I did a SPEED AWARENESS COURSE last – Read More-
I like to cook. It’s a boy thing. All the best chefs are men. We hunt, we gather, we sauté. And although I let Mel take her turn on the hob, when I’m home I do like to Fanny Craddock up and get all foody. Though I must confess, I specialise. And my obsessions are – Read More-
One point. We accrued one entire, sole, solitary, delicious point from a week of otherwise disastrous, disappointing and depressing football. I wish there was a ‘d’ word to say FUCK SHIT BOLLOCKS PISS but alas our simple language lacks such riches. Yet that point is enough. Dayenu as they say in Hebrew: it is enough. – Read More-
Now this is just plain weird. The world’s number 1 bridge player, Geir Helgemo, has had sanctions against him by the Word Bridge Federation. For failing a drug test. A bridge player. Not only that but the ‘banned substances’ were in fact testosterone and a female fertility drug. Testosterone is great if you’re a weight – Read More-
Why does it hurt so much? But like really hurt? For a male Spurs fan, losing at Chelsea hurts more than childbirth. More than toothache. More than having your spleen removed without anaesthetic. Because the pain doesn’t end with ‘a procedure’, it essentially starts when the procedure is finished. That moment when hope is extinguished, – Read More-
BMW are big in electric cars. They’re right up there with all the major players, more so than normal rivals Mercedes and Audi who are only toying with the concept currently, which may affect their standing over the next 10 years of ‘the revolution’. And from 2021, BMW are putting ‘gaze recognition’ in all their – Read More-
You gotta love Jeremy Corbyn. On Monday he says how he needs to rebuild trust and relationships with the Jewish community and on Tuesday he opposes the move to ban Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation. Though as Corbyn has previously described the Iranian-backed Shi’a group as ‘his friends’, you can’t fault him for consistency. Yet – Read More-
