Sing when yer winnin’…

I think its time to re-kindle the football debate. Well, its not really a ‘debate’, just an ongoing argument and a collection of facts and data. All of which became much more palatable yesterday for some reason. Ok, a good reason. We won. But not just, like, ‘won’, in any easy, normal, predictable, dull sense – Read More-

Cop 27…

There would appear to be an unofficial boycott of the Cop 27 climate conference, which starts in Egypt next weekend, by top level Brits. Like Trump used to ignore all such things when he was the POTUS, which fortunately he no longer is and hopefully, he never will be again. Rishi is simply too busy – Read More-

Lawyerly…

My old dad, may God rest his lovely soul, was a clever man. He managed to get rid of virtually all his assets long before he died. Gave it all to sick animals. And other relatives. The one beneficiary in your will you never need to actually write is ‘HMRC’. They’ll help themselves. There’s no – Read More-

Mandate…

Here’s a question: What is a mandate? Is it: A. A small flightless bird from Ecuador, nearing extinction, and best served with a guinea pig (well, it is ‘small’)? B. A website for gay men to hook up and find true love or at least cheap sex? C. The nation’s most overused term by really – Read More-

dying…

There are certain moments in a man’s life which are BIG. Milestones. Delights. Happiness. The day you get married. Passing your driving test. Possibly the day you get divorced. The birth of a child. Your first kiss. Unless its with Mr Frobisher, the maths teacher, then its a bit ‘eeeeuuuuwww’. Your grandchildren being born. But – Read More-

What do you do…

What do you do when its just pissing down with endless rain. Like, on my fucking tennis court! On a Sunday morning! And Mel has run off. Ok, gone to work, same thing. And left me, all alone. No nanny. No carer. No wardens. No play date. No tv because every single channel is talking – Read More-

‘ere we go agin…

Oh no! Liz Truss has gone!!! Didn’t see that coming. Never mind, we’re on course for setting a new record for staff changes. In 3 months we’ll have had 10 changes in PM, Chancellor and Home Secretary combined. Add in 2 monarchs and we’re not having a great time at the top of our national – Read More-

cruisin…

Russia changed its tack this week. Its using ‘drone’ missiles, called kamikazis, made by our friends in Iran, to bomb the poor civilians and buildings in Kyiv, rather than Cruise missiles, like they usually do. They probably just appointed the ever prudent Jeremy Hunt as their chancellor too. Because those horrible drones only cost about – Read More-

my old China…

This is not ALL the Chinese people, even though it looks like about 1.6 billion of them, this is just the Chinese ‘congress’. An event so rare it occurs once every 5 years. I mean, the World Cup happens every 4 years, so this gathering is even much more specialer than that. The picture is – Read More-

Chance-a-lot…

There’s a new tv show coming out. Next week. It’s along the lines of ‘Strictly’ or ‘Bake Off’, where loads of contestants are eliminated week by week until there is a winner who becomes… Chancellor of the Exchequer!!! But for real. Moves into Number 11 that very night as all contestants have to take their – Read More-
