Wednesday night. Spurs playing Arsenal at 8 o’clock. Lila and Joey having a sleepover due to… stuff. And Joey is currently football-mad. The ‘football’ bit because he loves the players, the stadia, the league table and its numbers, and the ‘mad’ because he loves Spurs and that can only lead to misery and insanity, long-term. – Read More-
I was really upset to learn that David Lynch, the film maker, had died. Even though I haven’t seen one of his movies for decades. And, if I’m honest, I barely knew the man. But anyone who watched every single one of the… 36? 49? 123??? episodes of Twin Peaks, when it came out, has – Read More-
I wish Biden, or even Trump, had declared a ceasefire at the Emirates last night, just after we took the lead against Arsenal. But that didn’t happen. Instead they’ve declared a ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza. From Sunday. The Americans, the Qataris, a few Egyptians and even one or two Israelis. It’s taken 8 months to ‘sort – Read More-

But I learned Manchester (up norf), Liverpool (up norf), Arsenal (Woolwich), Southampton (up south) and Birmingham (Birmingham). I learned about Real Madrid and Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. From the international matches – Read More-
So I want to make an investment. I want to take £200, or £3000, or £45,000 and invest it. Thank you. What are you looking for, exactly? Errrr… that’ll be ‘money’. As much as I can get from my initial investment. Biggest return imaginable, or preferably unimaginable, and as little tax as can possibly be – Read More-
Ok, we’ve had to make a few changes to the geography books in time for next week. Greenland is no longer Danish and will now be known as ‘Greenstate’ and fly the stars and bars flag. Similarly the vast nation previously known as ‘Canada’ is to be ‘Canadianna’ and will be the offical 51st state – Read More-
Walking round London you get used to being approached by all sorts of individuals. There’s the charity dudes, clip-board in hand, ready to sign you up to pay a tenner a month to Oxfam, at least 9 quid of which will pay the charity dude and the company who hired him out, leaving just a – Read More-
So its all kicking off again. Elon Musk started it, shouting across the Atlantic about our ‘grooming squads’ of sex abusers up north and how we need a proper inquiry.
