This is a week of excitement. In relative terms. Because this week sees the first round of voting to decide who will be the next leader of the Conservative Party! And life doesn’t get more exciting than that. The battle to become the leader of the smallest minority opposition party since 1732. Yet it’s important. – Read More-
Oh my god, it’s the best news ever!!! Well, unfortunately Kier Starmer is still the PM, Russians are still in Ukraine, Israeli hostages are being found dead, I’m still in danger of freezing in the winter without my heating allowance, but there’s a rumour that… Harry is coming home!!! Like, the Prince? Red headed dude? – Read More-
I know that governments have a serious job to do. They have to ‘say it like it is’, except when scandal, sleaze, parties or horrrendoulsy poor landlords are concerned, I get that. But is all fucking doom and gloom from our new lot. Led by Misery-in-chief, Dreary Kiery, we were never going to get the – Read More-
Ok, I’d never heard of ‘Telegram’, the media ‘thing’, until last week when Pavel Durov, the owner, was arrested in France. For ‘being in possession of a communication medium which bad people use’.

It took about 10 years for the corporation – Read More-
Living on a boat has its dangers. No doubt about that after this week’s happenings in Sicily. You can never be too careful. Waterspouts, pirates, submarine attack, you just never know. Hence my mate, The Boatman, who lives on a really fabulous house boat, has to be careful. Take precautions. Protect yourself. That’s why he – Read More-
We’ve had a new government in for 10 minutes now, possibly a few weeks, and I’ve not been impressed. They’ve immediately caved in to union demands. All of them. The Starmer way, then. Why ‘negotiate’ when ‘caving in totally’ is so much easier, quicker. The whole thing with unions is that it’s in their mandate – Read More-
The death of Mike Lynch as caused such a stir that thousands of people immediately cried out in anguish and despair: “who?” “Oh, the geezer wot sunk on ‘is boat in Sicily”.
