I ran round to the shops. As I left I called out for Alexa to guard and protect the house with her fucking LIFE!! Well, play Smooth Radio so that any would be burglars would be duped to thinking the home was occupied. Hah. Fooled them! Then I came back, no burglars around, and realised – Read More-
Oh my, that ‘poor’ woman, Princess Haya of Jordan, aka Sheikhess Haya of Dubai. A terrible tale of money (ever such a lot), of love (not quite so much), of divorce (quite a big bit) and of corruption and power, the twin horns of the devil. Because Sheikh Mohammed is the absolute ruler of Dubai, – Read More-
I heard a great point last night on the radio. I was waiting for my father-in-law to come out of the hospital after his short stay which became a slightly longer stay because someone on the ward had covid. He was ‘being sent home’ by ‘hospital transport’, because ‘we can’t allow normal people, or taxis, – Read More-
Omicron is serious. Nothing to do with case numbers, airport closures, party restrictions or even deaths. When football stops; its serious. And out of 10 fixtures this weekend, only 4 were played. Most of which didn’t count. The Arsenal match certainly was of no concern to anyone and Newcastle losing the Middle East derby match – Read More-
By Christmas Day there will be (an estimated, always fucking estimated) 55,000 NHS employees at home with Covid. Oh. My. Gooooooooodddd… Will any of them be ill, dying, ready for hospitalisation, at death’s door or ready for euthanising? No. Will they be ‘ill’, feel poorly, a bit under the weather? Yeah, a few, for about – Read More-
There was a tragedy on Thursday. Not the one in Leicester when the Spurs match was cancelled for covid. The one in Shropshire (no idea either, I’m guessing ‘up north somewhere’). In which the Conservatives were… ‘mullered’ barely covers it, ‘hammered‘ lacks the potency of the reality, ‘thrashed’, ‘defeated’ and ‘decimated’ all pitifully inadequate. I – Read More-
It’s a funny ole world. Lewis Hamilton wins 7 Grand Prix titles and gets nothing (the 50 mil a year simply doesn’t ‘count’, we’re not talking ‘monetary gain’ here) other than a few lumps of cut glass to put on his mum’s mantelpiece. Then he loses a championship, in the most spectacular, violent and brutal – Read More-
Ninety-nine conservative MPs voted against their own government yesterday as Boris attempted, successfully as it turned out anyway, to turn us into a police state, removing our freedoms and turning us into a “SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!!!!!” regime, in the model of Nazi Germany or Russia any time since 1917. They probably do it in – Read More-
“We’re all goin’ on’a, winter holiday, no more workin’ for a week or two…” Probably. We’re probably going on holiday. On Christmas Day. Tenerife. All planned, booked and even paid for at least 3 waves ago. On Boxing Day Lila and Joey are coming to meet us there, probably bringing their mum & dad, not – Read More-
When. WHEN. WHEN!!!!!???? did I become ‘that person’? Can’t have happened overnight? Did it? Must have taken months, years, decades? Possibly covid accelerated, exacerbated, contributed, accumulated… But one day I was a really lovely, easy-going, no-cares kind’a dude who took everything in his stride, and now I’m a short-fuse away from anger, insult, abuse, swearing, – Read More-
