We went out with friends for dinner last night. Booked it a few days ago. Just somewhere ‘local’, so we went to our favourite. Ok my favourite. I have as many ‘absolute favourite restaurants’ as I have ‘absolute favourite movies’. But the Hummus Bar is wonderful. And the… errrr… hummus, is outstanding. It happens to – Read More-
I bought my e-bike for a specific reason. Bloody tube strikes. When a strike was called, I in turn called me-mate-Mark, to borrow his e-bike. Which had sat in a corner of his house since he’d bought it, annoying his wife. Who prefers different types of ornaments. So, several tube strikes later, I bought it – Read More-
How can they miss? There’s been not one, not two, but THREE!!! assassination attempts on Donald Trump during this presidency, and they’ve all missed. I mean, Americans are full of guns, full of target practice, they have laser guided sights, they have machine guns, shotguns, handguns and yet… he lives. What? He’s not big enough? – Read More-
I’d like to discuss the ‘world of football’. I’m not actually talking about the leagues, the non-league teams, the Bundesliga, La Liga, Le Liga or any other fucking Liga, nor international football, World Cups, nothing like that. I want to ‘refine the search’. I want to ‘focus in’. Because my poor, tragically abused Spurs mind – Read More-
We will all share in the mourning of poor Ernie Dosio. Even though we never heard of him whilst he was alive for 75 years. Lots of animals had heard of him. Though they probably never heard the shot of the bullet that killed them from Ernie’s rifle, as bullets travel faster than sound and – Read More-
There’s a lot of issues about the Iran war. I mean, petrol went up, FFS, and no-one wants that. We’re strapped for oil, inflation’s rising and there seems no possibility to a ‘meaningful’ end to the war. Ok, Trump ‘extended’ the ceasefire at the 11th hour, as he fairly consistently does. As would any sensible – Read More-
We listen to the news, we hear about the ‘energy crisis’, yet we pooh-pooh the very concept of ‘renewable energy’ as something we’ll consider when we need it, we burn oil and gas for all we’re worth and we laugh when we hear of countries having programmed power cuts to conserve power. Basically; we just – Read More-
One resorts to poetry when mere words strung together won’t suffice, In matters of love and sorrow, broken hearts and departures from this life. Like Country and Western, with dead dogs excluded, but without the silly hats, and obviously no line-dancing to make them look like twats, Outpourings of a devastated soul and shattered dreams – Read More-
Ok, we’ve got a great candidate here for a really top job. You need someone with a proven track record, oodles of charisma and no skeletons in the closet. Well, with this guy, nothing’s in the closet, he came out years ago. But he has everything we need to be Britain’s top overseas representative. A – Read More-
Red-heads are taking over. It’s not a quick thing, it moves at glacial time, but ginger hair is increasing in frequency. I know how relieved everyone feels knowing that. Which is why a Harvard study spent umpteen fucking years and countless billions of dollars (not mine, fortunately; I’m neither a benefactor of Harvard nor a – Read More-
