Ok, so I couldn’t play tennis yesterday as there was an inch of frozen ice covering the courts. Which, rather pissily, is still there this morning. As temperatures here have stayed at about -15 for a week. Ok, -1 for a couple of days, but that’s cold enough. Chicago the other day was -27. Though – Read More-
I love a bit of anti-semitism. If I wasn’t Jewish I’d definitely be an anti-Semite; its so much fun. Here’s what you do: Just blame the Jews for everything. Even though there’s only 274 of us and we remain quiet most of the time. But blame them for any shit you can find, then when – Read More-
People doubt the existence of ‘God’. Of a directing, possibly benignly controlling, force, acting upon the entire universe. To keep it… errr… universal. And big. In fact so big that we can’t get our heads around it. And historically any concepts beyond mere man, like the universe, like ‘infinity’, like ‘well; what’s at the end – Read More-
Man United didn’t win a game!!! Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is shit. Sack him. After a winning start of 8 consecutive matches since Morinho was kicked out (doubtless every win causing him increasing pain, suffering, humiliation and hurt, but probably no self-dout whatsoever), United were lucky to draw at home to Burnley last night. And then – Read More-
In a year’s time we’ll all look back on ‘life in Europe’ as a distant memory and probably laugh at all the bother and the price exacted at (and certainly prior to) the point of our actual departure. Which itself is now a bit in doubt. But we’ll know more tonight.When ‘they vote’!! Again. This – Read More-
This time last week I was positively jubilant. Spurs had just beaten Fulham, with our terribly banged-up, starless, bandaged-together team and all looked ok. Then the best news ever on Friday: Korea had lost in the Asian Cup to Qatar (no allegations or implications at all here, I’m sure those Qataris are all little Messis-of-the-desert, – Read More-
I saw the best film ever made last night. No two ways about it, no competition, you can argue from now til hell freezeth over about the runners up; Godfathers and Star Wars and Gone with the fucking Winds, but ‘Vice’ is just… brilliant. And who’d’a thought?? It’s about Dick Cheney. Who? Yeah, we all – Read More-
There’s trouble in Benezuela. Big trouble. The Prez there, Moduro, has led the country to rack and ruin, taking the mantle of destroyer-in-chief from his predecessor, the late Snr Chavez. Now Trump has said that Moduro is no longer the president and America won’t recognise him as such any longer. Instead the Americans have installed – Read More-
Ever watched 7de Laan? Nooooo!! But its the most popular Afrikaans soap opera ever! Watched by millions of… Afrikaaners, its… errrr… brilliant, no doubt. Like all soaps, the stories of which won’t particularly ‘add up’ in the real world but exist within the rarified context of their own little soap bubble. Which now and again – Read More-
Not just a song by the Bee Gees, ya know, the word has a proper meaning. A real meaning for something that’s gone horribly wrong. Like poor Emiliano Sala, the Argentinian striker. A double tragedy. First he has the misfortune to sign to play for Cardiff City, and then, if that’s not bad enough, he – Read More-
