Diversity…

We all love The Oscars. Don’t we? We all stay up all night long to enjoy the wonderful spectacle and razzmatazz, see the dresses, hear the speeches, roll around in hysterics at the compare for the night. If they can find one. Actually, we don’t. Well I don’t. I love movies but have never found – Read More-

And the Oscar goes to…

Have you ever done a ‘speed awareness course’? If you answer ‘no’ then you’re either an overseas person or not a real person. I don’ think they have such things in foreign lands. In America you get fined for speeding. There’s never a question there of taking away the right to drive any more than – Read More-

New-kip…

The political spectrum is changing. Well, not changing, it can’t really change, just the whereabouts of the various party positions upon it. Labour shifted to the left. The process started with ‘Little Tosser’, who used the professional name of ‘Ed Milliband’. Who took Blair’s 40% to the left, and Brown’s 50%, and moved it to – Read More-

Spendthrift…

Chelsea football club have been banned from the football transfer market for a year. By FIFA, the world’s highest authority in the sport. For ‘impropriety’ in the contracts of 29 junior players. Which is a bit like the Pope de-frocking a cardinal for sexual offences. But this is a good thing as clubs generally ignore – Read More-

Worrying…

The whole world is talking about jihadi brides returning. Well, my whole world is. That’s me, Mel, The Times, the News, Question Time and Lila. And on the radio too. Not radio two, but The radio, TOO. In fact on LBC. The phone-ins have been talking about pretty much nothing else since Shamima was ‘found’ – Read More-

Lila time…

They’re back. Liladays. They went away due to staff issues, but they’re now resolved so we’re back on track. And the ‘full thing’. Wednesday night sleepover running seamlessly into Liladay. Brilliant. Though ‘sleepover’ implies, errrr, ‘sleeping’ and I don’t wish to convey the image of… of… of sleep. Sleepover is what it should be. Lila – Read More-

Then there were 8…

The new in-party of ex-Labour disgruntees has now grown to a massive 8 people. Yet if they get 4 more they’ll have the same number of MPs as the Liberal Democrat’s. Which is interesting but irrelevant in a way that the Lib Dem’s themselves are somewhat irrelevant. I’m just happy that Labour is in difficulty – Read More-

Resigned…

So 7 MPs resign from the Labour Party yesterday and more are expected soon. As well as many disgruntled Tories too, they fear/reckon/dread (depending on your standing on the political spectrum. If you’re a ‘Green’ then just say ‘ohmmmmm’ and hug a tree). The only resignation that didn’t come yesterday was that of Maurizio Sarri. – Read More-

more comin home…

Its happened. What, for all other people is ‘hot news!!’ about a splinter group of MPs leaving the Labour party today, but as I predicted and anticipated this yesterday, for you, this is old news. I am Nostradamus! Why have they left? I think one sub-headline on the BBC’s newspage sums it up beautifully, reading: – Read More-

Quick quick slow…

I love movies. I love all types of movies. Action thrillers, action thrillers and also action thrillers. Ok, that’s a joke. I’m not even keen on action killers and wouldn’t see a ‘Bond’ if ya paid me in gold-plated Aston Martins. But I will see a thriller and I’ll see art house and I’ll see – Read More-
