Take off…

I’ve just come back from my time in Croatia, and now I’ve got to pack once again to fly out to Venice. What? You didn’t get the invite to Jeff’n’Lauren’s wedding? Oh, you poor loser. Jeff invited me because of my constant and total refusal to sign up to ‘Prime’. And NOT signing up to – Read More-

Trust issues…

Nigel Farage has come up with a totally brilliant idea for ‘when’ he becomes Prime Minister, in 4 years time. Brilliant. Like all his ideas. Because Nigel is the cleverest person in politics, by approximately 2,000 miles. Though looking at our government, that’s not such a heady position. And as well as clever, Nigel is – Read More-

The Jew Factor…

Yesterday we walked up 300 steps, in 33 degrees of high humidity, to reach Marjam Park. A fabulous hillside park stretching for miles along the coast. Oddly, the higher you go, the hotter you seem to get. The Jewish Cemetery was there, used from 1700 to 1946. On the way we passed a group of – Read More-

Float on…

So here’s the deal with Croatia. It’s packed with history and we all love history. Our tour guide today in Split told us that his grandfather was born in 1910 and, without ever leaving Split, has lived in 6 different countries. (Ok, he did die a few years ago, but after the last ‘change’ back – Read More-

Movin’ home…

I’ve loved it in Hvar. Nazi war-crimes aside, it’s a truly lovely little island, filled with lovely… Croatians. Who split neatly into two distinct halves. The young women here are absolutely beautiful. Tall, lithe, gorgeous, fabulous, even when they’re dressed and not just lolling about in thongs. The other half are the males of the – Read More-

A man’s gotta do…

Look, I’m supposed to be on holiday. Relaxing. Eating. Drinking. Swimming. Nightclubbing. OK, eating and drinking for sure. It’s what you do. Even in Croatia. Where it’s 31 degrees today on our sweet little island of Hvar. But how ‘sweet’ is Croatia? Inspired by a lawyer with a victim complex, I investigated further my holiday – Read More-

101 things you need to know…

Here’s a 101 things you never knew about Croatia. And I picked that number, specifically, because we’re here on the Dalmatian Coast. You do da maffs. Actually, I suppose, it’s 100 things, because everyone knows Luka Modric. Croatia’s favourite son and the world’s most enduring superstar in a game not normally forgiving to getting older. – Read More-

Attack, attack!!!

Israel attacked Iran. Thursday night. I didn’t do it, I was at Tai Chi, attacking other people. But I would have done, given the chance. No question. I fucking hate Iran. Not the people; they’re lovely. Well, some of them. The ones who totally hate the Ayatollah(s) and the horrendous, repressive, dictatorial, misogynistic, revolting and – Read More-

No bottle…

At what point in time did bottle lids become these odd, annoying, permanently attached and infinitely troublesome ‘things’ which you can’t remove without a Stanley knife (be very careful when you do that) or a chain saw (much safer)? And more importantly; why? Did Ursula von der Leyen see me slurping out of the bottle – Read More-

Life changing…

If you get a donated kidney, because you’ve been bright yellow for 6 months and spend a lot of time in dialysis, it’s ‘life changing’. But if you’re football teams signs Lionel Messi or Jude Bellingham, that can be life changing too. Particularly as it would involve a move to Spain. Or, latterly, America. But – Read More-
