The weather’s fabulous. The sun’s shining, it’s warm, the birds are a’singin’, Spring has definitely sprung round my way. So the electric bike gets a bit more air than it does in February. In that I’m prepared to use it. More than ‘prepared’. Eager. And I use it to save the planet. Tony Blair can – Read More-
MTWSA is the new MAGA. Make The World Shit Again. As we reach the magical?, mystical??, benchmark (of what?)??, 100th day of the second Trump presidency, it is an ideal time to look back on precisely how, and what, the great man (his words) have achieved. Why ‘100 days’ is some watershed moment in politics – Read More-
Trump has done many ‘things’ in his hundred-odd days. More if you count the last term he served. But in one respect, he has changed the world. Reconstructed its narrative. Is it in a good way? Well, it’s Trump, so what do you reckon??? The diplomatic international stage was always full of agreements, alignments, accords, – Read More-
Ok, so the Pope was a shirt-lifter. Aright, a cassock-lifter. He was gay. So the recent rumours being rather maliciously spread, would assert. And much as both myself and definitely the quality controllers of this site try to avoid gossip, scandal, reactionism and anything else you’d normally find in the Daily Mail, there are some – Read More-
It’s a disease. Possibly a ‘mental health issue’. But the colour purple has become an ongoing addiction for me. And like all addictions, it carries its own momentum, regardless of… well, regardless of anything really. At certain times of year the problem is amplified. Most notably, the week following Easter. It’s a biblical thing, and – Read More-
Watched Anora on the weekend. The movie which won Mikey Maddison the Oscar for best actress. Nothing trans-ish there, she’s a she-Mikey, don’t get your placards out and cancel me. Not for that anyway. I did a(nother) thing that I swore I’d never do. Like reading from a Kindle, like looking at my phone at – Read More-
Everyone will always remember exactly where they were when Pope Francis died. I was in the kitchen, making my porridge, and thinking of a blog post inspired by that very same Pope, on last night’s news, as he choked out a few words, all he could manage, from his wheelchair, over Vatican square, yesterday. Saw – Read More-
Leicester accepted relegation from the Premier League today. Not that it was ‘an invitation’ exactly, requiring an RSVP, more just a fact. “You’re down: fuck off”. And then I think two things. Firstly, when they won the league in 2016, against all conceivable odds. That was simply brilliant and an achievement which will never be – Read More-
“A woman is… (drum roll)… (pause for suspense, like they do on X-factor and Bake Off)… IS A WOMAN!!!” Oh, thank God for that, say the women, the feminists and JK Rowling. Boo, say all those trans-people who spent at least some of their lives as men, other times as transvestites and part of it – Read More-
We’ve just returned from a fab little stay in a Cotswold. Not sure which one, they all look so similar. It wasn’t Clarkson’s one, that’s for sure. Though there were plenty of cars there, but during Easter hols, that’s to be expected. We went on Thursday because I needed to drive very fast and there – Read More-
