I must admit to not having watched any of the Australian Open tennis tournament. I should have. I love tennis. I play tennis. I watch every second of Wimbledon I can find. But the Aussie… and the French… New York… nyeh, not so keen. They’re every bit as Grand Slammy as Wimbledon but just not – Read More-
Prince Andrew is ‘going the whole way’. He’s going to bat against Virginia Whassername and is demanding a trial by jury. But surely a jury is a ‘jury of your peers’. So they have to find 10 Princes, ideally ones that have also been disowned by their families, and sit them in a room with – Read More-
When you hit 65, by all accounts you should just be dead. It’s the way it used to be. It’s the way humanity began. But back then, living in caves, eating raw dinosaurs, you’d probably only make 38. Not that anyone could actually count that high ‘back in the day’. Biblically it became ‘four score – Read More-
I’ve been researching cars. Pretty much for my whole life. I like cars. But specifically, what makes a ‘supercar’ and what makes a ‘hypercar’? And from what I can ascertain from my extensive and in-depth 4 minute look on Wikipedia is that ‘hypercars’ suffer from excessive hyperbole and thus supercars must suffer from excessive superbole. – Read More-
I went to the cinema on Saturday night, for the second time in about 2 weeks. Or the second time in about 2 years, whichever you prefer. There were big queues for popcorn, so we didn’t get. And in the absence of ‘eating’ you have to wear your mask. So I had to pretend to – Read More-

Would it – Read More-
To all those Spurs fans who went up to Leicester on a shitty, rainy, cold January night in support of a team who have not given too much cause for celebration in recent weeks, in the hope of seeing something special, something out of the ordinary, something even spectacular, I hope you enjoyed it. To – Read More-
Without wishing to appear smug or presumptive (both of which I excel at), Britain is doing very well in the Covid game. Ok, its the long game, but 2 years down the line and we’re kind’a getting ‘there’. Where, exactly, ‘there’ might actually be located we’re not 100% sure yet, but on January 26th they’re – Read More-
Nadine Dorries! I mean, Nadine Dorries!!! How dare she??? The Secretary of State for… well, lots of stuff, but ‘telly’ is included so we’ll skip the rest for current purposes, has not merely declared war on the BBC, but actually administered the death knell! And although no-one actually gives a shit for that antiquated, totally – Read More-
I had flu yesterday. It was horrible. Terrible. Debilitating. I was fit for nothing other than lying in bed feeling awful. My skin hurt. All of it. Ok, playing tennis probably didn’t help it but in my defence I didn’t realise what was going on at that point. I tested myself, even though I already – Read More-
