So this is what happens when you go for a ‘bone graft’ at the dentists. You end up looking like a cross between a chipmunk and The Elephant Man. And its weird. To look in a mirror and see a completely different face from the stunning beauty you’re so familiar with (deluding yourself into). My – Read More-
So what do you do on Liladay when there’s no Lila? She’s tanning herself in the Indian Ocean and I’m here in the grey and damp. Although maybe not ‘tanning’ as such, due to the gallons of factor 50 her mum took with. More at risk of drowning in sun protection than getting burnt. Anyway, – Read More-
But more, much more than this, I did it Hu-aaaaa-wei. Well I’m glad I’ve got that out my system. Which is more than we can say for the company concerned, who are well and truly in, over, above and underneath our new system for 5G. Which has been approved by our government. If Boris is – Read More-
If you watch Lila for any length of time, and I have been known to do that, you realise one (of many) things. That little children are unbelievably flexible. They can just move their little bodies in any direction to the maximum extent that skeletons allow. Whereas adults are generally different. We move anywhere, bend – Read More-
On Saturday we went to the see the art fair at the London Design Centre in Islington. Its a sale kind of thing. Not the ‘affordable art fair’ which no-one can afford to go to, but another one.

… the need for speeeeeed… How fast is ‘fast enough’? Hmmmm. Is my car fast enough or do I need a new 400 horse power monster so I can break the law with much greater ease or have 335 wasted and redundant horses sitting there ‘just in case’? Is my bicycle fast enough or do – Read More-
Rather than play tennis today, I decided instead to go to the synagogue. Well, its time to up my spiritual game in line with the physical, surely? No, you’re right, the only spirit I need comes in bottles from various Scottish isles. But I had a call. Like, a Moses moment. A burning bush. A – Read More-
…we’re in a civil partnership. Now that civil partnerships are fully legal for ‘non-gays’ as they are to be known, that small minority of people who fail miserably to fit into any of the 2,374 categories of ‘otherness’ and minority status enjoyed by the… errr… by the majority, the Church of England (fanfare, pls) has – Read More-
I’m in Davos. For the World Economic freebie junket thingy to which all important freeloaders go to so they can show everyone how important they are. In a Worldly, Economical way. I’m not actually ‘there’ like physically, just spiritually. I’m staying in a fuck-off Swiss hotel with hot and cold running chambermaids, flying around in – Read More-
There’s a new virus in China. Related to the horrible ‘sars’ virus which killed a lot of people a little while ago (research is a wonderful thing; if you can be bothered with it), it causes respiratory problems and fever. Originally thought to be only transmissible via animals, the Chinese, in an uncharacteristic precedent, have – Read More-
