work work work…

And sometimes you just have to work. As it is written. And all that rushing round, getting into the City early, being busy busy, can be a bad thing. Ok, it may have its rewards (in one life or other) but it can prevent me from finding my ‘happy place’ and contemplating the world in – Read More-

Grossly unfair…

These latest allegations against Boris (though you really REALLY have to be specific when allegations against Boris are concerned because there are just so many flying around at any time) are grossly unfair! The ones about the Mayor and the Blonde Tart. Sorry, Jennifer Arcuri wasn’t the Mayor. But we don’t know the story. Boris – Read More-

temporary

We all love a ‘loophole’. That’s what makes tax avoidance such fun, its why shutting down parliament was such a hoot, loopholes are just neat and canny way of sidestepping rules. And thus they cause consternation and upset among the very conservative types as they perceive the whole loopholey thing as ‘cheating’. But what when – Read More-

china syndrome…

China is 70 years old this week. Happy fucking birthday. But its not like, ‘old China’, nice China, full of Ming Dynasties and Terracotta Warriors and inventing glasses and fireworks and all those great things they did when the women had bound feet and the men very long moustaches. No, this is 70 years of – Read More-

anything but…

Today I want to talk about global warming. I want to talk about Prince Harry suing the Daily Mail. I want to talk about Tesla cars, the Conservative Conference, about the ‘new deal’ Boris is taking to be ridiculed by the EU today, about Paris fucking fashions. I want to discuss menstrual cycles, circadian rhythms, – Read More-

Delay…

If Spurs had lost yesterday I was going to take a sabbatical from football. Just, kind’a, ignore it for the rest of the season and come back refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world again. As if. Because after the dire start to the season, after which, incredibly, we sit 4th in the – Read More-

Shitstorm part 83 1/4…

Different day, different shit storm. That’s our world. This time it involves Naga Munchetty, the breakfast tv presenter of such gorgeousness that only a fellow gorge, like me, can really appreciate her. And she’s great. Clever, funny, gorgeous. And if you don’t like what she says, just turn the volume down and watch her. Like – Read More-

Bad language…

I think its appalling, the use of bad language that was used in Parliament this week. I’m disgusted. Fucking disgusted. Because our elected members of parliament are supposed to deport themselves with dignity and honour. Act as ‘gentlemen’, not common yobbos pushing each other around before the fight starts outside a pub in Norwich. The – Read More-

Shame…

Everyone will always remember exactly where they were on Tuesday 24th of September 2019. The ‘day of shame’ as it will be forever remembered in our minds and in our hearts. The day the world turned. The Supreme Court of London and… some other places nearby, judged by an 11 to nil unanimity (a virtual – Read More-

And the award goes to…

I always thought that ‘award season’ was like March or thereabouts. The Oscars, the Brits, the… I dunno, loads of them. Maybe its a long season. Like Marching Season in Northern Ireland, which lasts most of the year, to give the Orangemen time to upset every single Republican and Catholic by marching round in bowler – Read More-
