Let me tell you about my holiday. All holidays really, because their main job is to take you away from the norm. And keep you sufficiently away from it that you enter a wonderful, stress-free unreality-land where your main concerns are an even suntan and what you’re going to eat next. And drink while you’re – Read More-
So Apollo is walking through Brent Cross one morning, just kind’a minding his own business, although being the god of music, prophecy, poetry, medicine and the Sun, most things were his business, one way or another. And he came across Athena. Not the poster shop but like the actual, real, goddess of war. “Hey babe”, – Read More-
I’m loving Greece. But like really loving it. Ok, pools, beaches, no working, total R&R all combine to deflect reality for the short-term and create a feeling of well being and love for all men, women, LGBTSUVBBCUAEG&T and everything else in between, but beyond the normal holiday illusion, Greece is special.

Several years ago we went to Budapest. S’in Hungary, innit. And I learned that the city’s name came from the joining of two towns divided by the river. And thus chose to comment, as I tend to do, that ‘the racists of Buda hooked up with the anti-semites of Pest’ to form the lovely place – Read More-
I’m going on holiday!!!! Remember those things we thought would never happen again? Well (all being well, with a good head-wind, falling infection rates, fingers crossed, legs crossed, eyes crossed, no sudden attack of quarantinisation, pth, pth, pth…) we’re going away! To a forrin land. Where they don’t speak English (bit like Tower Hamlets) and – Read More-
The best things in life are free, but someone, somewhere, pays for everything. So looking at trees and birds, the oceans, cloud formations can fill your heart with… stuff and emotions and pleasure, but really that’s just a start. Your children (can, but SO OFTEN DON’T!!!) give you immense pleasure. Grandchildren are in a different – Read More-
There’s a movie coming out. A real ‘must see’. Essential viewing. Destined for classic status. I can hardly wait. Its the Paw Patrol movie and its out now-ish! What? You don’t know ‘Paw Patrol’? What are you, older than 5? Or don’t know anyone younger than 5?? Paw Patrol is simply where its at. Joey – Read More-
As the football transfer window winds to a close, there are protests in London. I’m not sure of the connection there, but there must be; I don’t believe in coincidence. The protests are ‘allegedly’ about vaccinations and the ‘great Covid scam’ (if you can actually Adam-n-Eve that there are sufficient numbers of brain dead imbeciles – Read More-
