I’m not the world’s best shopper. For clothes, I am absolutely the worst. But for food, I’m not so bad. Because I love food but would rather go around naked than try on 16 different shirts/trousers/socks. Food doesn’t need trying on. And because I moved, 37 years ago, from the deprived wilds of way out – Read More-
So my hip’s still bothering me, about 8 weeks after it started, thanks for asking!!! No better, no worse. So I started playing tennis again, on the grounds that; if this is ‘the future’, then better start learning to ‘play through the pain’. Because I’m stupid. But, inspired by the Lionesses, I manned up and – Read More-
Its over. The dream. Us gels. Football. Australia. World AND Euro champions. Sarina Wiegman. Pony tails. Its not comin’ ‘ome. Whatever ‘it’ might be. No kings or princes or PMs went to Sydney to witness our noble, valiant and courageous loss to those fucking Spanish bitches, to whom I bear no grudge. Obviously. They were – Read More-
We’re in the final. Its amazing. My Lionesses are one step away from being world champions!!! Ok, it can be quite a big step, but you have to feel confident. Sarina Wiegman (surely a Damehood is just around the corner; what’s the situation with the Dutch?) has groomed (not like that) this squad into something – Read More-
… and God laughs, as the saying goes. But Rishi Sunak is no mere mortal! He’s a Superman! Even though he looks more like The Atom.

Rishi Sunak is clever. He’s stuck with NHS waiting lists which, quite frankly, he could do without. They almost sit there as a constant reminder of how unworking/unworkable, the NHS machine really is. Over 7 million people are waiting for something or other. Which represents 14% of our nation. One in 7 people requires medical – Read More-
That’s Spurs club motto: to dare is to do. Hence the ‘Dare Skywalk’ they offer to stadium tourists. At least half of whom look so much like Son its uncanny. And as they all wear replica shirts, I spent half the day wondering how our new club captain could be walking round the Tottenham Stadium – Read More-
He’s gone. Harry. Harry Kane. Played for Spurs. Captained Spurs. Captains England!!! Yet moved to Germany on Friday. F’rever. To play for Bayern Munich. Arrived there Friday afternoon, by Saturday afternoon he was playing for Munchen and losing to Leipzig in some Teutonic version of the ‘charity shield’ they have over there. And today makes – Read More-
I’ve always wanted to be that person who says: ‘when you get to my age…’ because I’ve always found that really annoying, stupid and pathetic, all characteristics I strive for in my life. So now I’ve reached sufficient yearage that I could invoke such a phrase in earnest, I can’t do it. Its like admitting – Read More-
We’ve found a new drug. Not, like, for Saturday nights with a line of coke and three shots of Jägermeister, but a medical drug. Oh, one’a’them. Well, not so much ‘found’ it, as slightly ‘re-purposed’ it. Possibly, just adjusted the claims made about it. Its a diabetes drug. And causes weight loss. But now, in – Read More-
