Went to see the Bob Dylan movie last night. Complete Unknown. Quite frankly, it’s brilliant. And that’s without hearing a word spoken. Timothy Chalomet spoke just like Dylan, whiny mumble. He sang like Dylan too. Whiny mumble. But those words I knew, well most of ‘em. But the dialogue? My hearing’s almost as bad as – Read More-
JD Vance is the vice president of all America. As a good analogy to understand this very important role, if the President of America is a Rolls Royce, or a Cadillac, the VP is the spare tyre. Maybe just the jack. A locking wheel-nut. His job is to speak the words of his boss, in – Read More-
All hail The Donald, the peacemaker supreme. As long as there’s a deal in it for him. Bless him. He’s going to Saudi Arabia to ‘sort out’ the Ukraine business once and for all. And he probably will. It needs to end. He’ll meet Pooot’n there and they’ll plan the end of the war. Brilliant. – Read More-
Before we start talking about the Labour MPs being suspended for ‘suspected racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia and possibly cyber-rape!!! (well why not?)’, we need to establish the rules.

I had to take a ‘hiatus’ of about 10 years as my shoulder pains worsened and risk of damaging it beyond its already ‘catastrophic’ were too worrying. But – Read More-
I’m moving to Miami. Did I tell you? Oh, must have slipped my mind. I haven’t told Mel yet either. But they’re building a block of flats there… ok, Bentley, the car people, are building a block of flats there. And for just $5.8million, you get a ‘drive-in flat’. All the flats, on all 62 – Read More-
An amazing thing happened to me yesterday. I watched a sporting event on tv and came away at the end deliriously happy, thrilled to bits, excited with massive relief and feeling on top of the world, invincible and ready to invade Iran single-handedly. The England France rugby match was always likely to be heated. At – Read More-
A woman had a terrible reaction to her Botox fix. Ended up in hospital with her eyes so swollen they wouldn’t open, lots of pain and terrible swelling in her skin. Friends told her that at least there were no wrinkles. If she could have smiled, she would have. I’m not saying this woman is – Read More-
Donald Trump is a moronic imbecile who shouldn’t be allowed to order in McDonalds, let alone run a country. Donald Trump is a complete antidote to the anodyne norm of benign and impotent national leaders. If these two sentences seem incompatible, incongruous, contradictory? then welcome to my world. Every time I watch the news, those – Read More-
Prostate cancer is all the rage. Now that Giles Coren was told he has a prostate so ineffectively cancerous that it requires no action, everyone wants it. It’s a fashion statement. For men of certain age it has taken over from a Harley Davidson as ‘the must have thing’ for between your legs. And prostate – Read More-
