I never really ‘got’ reality tv. It started with ‘Big Brother’ in which you watch a bunch of sub-normal morons talking about total rubbish for hours on end. For some reason, that never pushed my buttons. Other than the ‘channel change’ ones. Then they evolved into talent shows of various types, all equally horrible, and – Read More-
Are some Americans finally waking up to the reality the rest of the world has known for decades? Can they really have had a collective ‘eureka moment’ to realise what is an otherwise universally known fact? That Donald Trump is actually not a man you would want in control of your country. You wouldn’t want – Read More-
So I had a cough. And that rapidly developed into full-blown man-flu, which is, as all men know, if not exactly ‘deadly serious’, at least ‘fucking horrible’ and the cause of much whingeing and complaining and demands for sympathy. Since then nothing’s really changed. Still feel shit, bunged up, achy and coughing, especially at night. – Read More-
Do you remember when Spurs were 3rd in the league? Those happy, heady days when our position flattered to deceive. Well, I like flattery. And I’m a big fan of deception. Because now, having ‘plummeted’ down the table after yesterday’s debacle, I’m having to ask myself “are we EVEN worthy of 4th place???” This made – Read More-
I watched an event on the News the other night. Bunch’a American… mid-westerners? Southerners? You know, the not very bright ones, and they were hailing Jesus and praising the Lord and there were preachers shouting about the Devil and salvation and, my favourite bit, when people start feinting all over the place because Jesus has – Read More-
It’s happened. I developed a cough. The thing that makes you the undisputed #1 favourite with fellow tube travellers. A lovely, deep, chesty, phlegmy cough. If I had a bag of masks with me, I could’a made a killin’. Then a runny nose and a bit of sneezing. Yesterday I just felt like shit. Tired. – Read More-
A young woman was sentenced yesterday for… being a grabby, greedy, lying, cheating, stealing compensation-whore. She claimed ‘whiplash’ after a car accident, debilitating, painful, agonising, exercise-preventing, immobilising… blah, blah, blah. And the next week posted online how she’d completed a 5k Obstacle race. Then a week later climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge, also on Facebook. – Read More-
Leonard Bernstein’s moving song states that ‘there’s a place for us’… ‘Somewhere’. The message being that sometimes you need to find a place which will accept you for what or who you are, but you may have to look far and wide to find it. Whether you’re a Puerto Rican in love with an Irish – Read More-
Well Rishi Sunak obviously reads my words. Which is why he’s now changed his Cop 27 status from ‘not going’ to ‘trying to find the time to attend’. Well, it was either reading me or Boris announcing his intended attendance. Either way, he kind’a has to go. Because although our ‘never-ending summer of climate change’ – Read More-
So here’s two headlines. The one on the right is from Yesterday’s Mail on Sunday. The one on the left from the Times this morning (I can only do the Mail once a week or my stomach won’t settle, my lungs pack up and my brain might actually start to think that what they write – Read More-
