In normal circumstances (whatever that even means), I find the fixture between Tottenham Hotspur (blessed be their name) and Arsenal (the Devil’s team) to be exceedingly stressful. I’ve attended many and it’s difficult. I’ve watched many, hiding behind the sofa with my fingers over my eyes. Arsenal won the league in 1971 by beating Spurs, – Read More-
I’m intrigued by the quest for vehicular autonomy. Why shouldn’t cars get to decide where and when they go anywhere? They’re not slaves, FFS!! They have feelings, desires, aspirations, just like the rest of us. Alternatively, back on planet Earth, cars are now almost fully autonomous. In that they drive themselves. However, if they have – Read More-
So on Monday night, the start of Passover, when all good Jews were celebrating our redemption from slavery back in Egypt (reparation demands to follow), our duly elected members of parliament, and our duly appointed Lordy types next door, were embroiled in a game of ‘ping pong’. Not sure that God approves whilst he’s waiting – Read More-
My alternative heading for this post was ‘why did the Jew cross the road?’, but I opted for the one which took up less space. Pragmatist. The Jew in question was Gideon Falter, who, by sheer coincidence, in case you think he was just trying to make a point, happens to be the head of – Read More-
What’s more important than cars??? Oh, of course, football. More important than anything. But it is definitely worth mentioning this car which, unlike yesterday’s, is a ‘proper’ motor. With window-winders and a gear lever and, most importantly, chrome. I love chrome. And it has never been deployed more beautifully than on a 1961 Mercedes 300SL. – Read More-
I went to a car show yesterday. I love cars. Always have. Ever since I was old enough to pick up a ‘Matchbox’ Chevrolet Impala and hit my brother on the head with it. Repeatedly. So when we received an ‘offer’ from the bank ‘inviting’ us to, not just some random car show in, like – Read More-
When I was about 14 I went to Petticoat Lane market and bought a ‘ban the bomb’ necklace thing. Not a ‘necklace’ in any delicate, subtle, pretty kind of way, this was a fucking great cross, about 3 inches long, with the upper strut being a loop. Which changed it from ‘I love Jesus’ to – Read More-
This government is intent on taking away our freedoms. We might as well be living in China during the ‘cultural revolution’, or in Russia under Stalin. Maybe Putin. And I’m not just talking about the freedom to drive dangerously fast whilst sipping cocktails either. First they’re going to stop children from smoking. Why would they – Read More-
Have you looked at Iran on a map? Map of the world, obviously, a map of greater Stevenage probably won’t show it. Iran is fucking massive. It is pretty much the entire north-east quadrant of the Middle East. It is 79 times larger than Israel (Alexa told me) and has a population of 90 million. – Read More-
Here’s what’s happening in the Premier League. Today!!! Well, yesterday and Saturday really. Which can basically be summed up in one simple sentence. Ready? It reads: everyone fucked up, except Manchester City. Possibly Aston Villa. 2 sentences. Sue me. For every other team (maybe not the ones who won, but we’ll include them for the – Read More-
