Spectrum…

The country is currently being run by a man who can at best be described as ‘high functioning autistic’. Oh, not Boris, he’s fairly low-functioning anything, but the man who actually runs the nation at the moment; Dominic Cummings. The man who represents the kind of ‘ultra violet’ end of The ‘Spectrum’. But that’s all – Read More-

Photo op…

In 50 years time our descendants will be looking through the ‘old photo album’, on whatever medium it may live, and rather than saying ‘ahhh, that was great Uncle George at your Mother’s inauguration as a witch ceremony’ and ‘this was your Grandfather Andy throwing up over the rabbi at his barmitzvah’, they’ll be commenting – Read More-

Who cares…

I don’t know why the ‘north London derby’ is so important. But it is. It really is. Really, truly, heart-shatteringly, anxiety-pumpingly, panic-strickenly, hair-rippingly, screaming-at-the-tv-ly, self-harmingly… important. And in such a relaxed state, after my brief holiday and return from Watford, did I sit down with a nice cuppa tea (tea is always referred to as – Read More-

No complaints…

You know you’re in a posh hotel when the car park is a thing of beauty. Though I must admit I quite like all car parks. Because they speak of civilisation, of occupation, of land being used wisely and of sufficient numbers of people to require them. Otherwise the world’s a bit… empty. But I’m – Read More-

Holidays…

I’m going on holiday today. Really looking forward to it. We’re going to Watford. I’ve bought a few tour guide books, (the longest being 3 pages long which includes listings of the services at the General Hospital), done my research about the history and environs (took 4 minutes), I’ve done the online check-in and I’m – Read More-

shit storm…

Yesterday the entire nation came to terms with the implications and consequences of Boris’s suspension of parliament. Some were concerned on the effect on Brexit, others by the sheer rudeness of it. There are those concerned with how unconstitutional the action appears, others suggest that it could even be illegal. There have already been protests – Read More-

Red red wine…

Goes to my hea-ea-ea-ea-ead, and to my gut. And there it does magical, marvelous, magnificent things and creates a super-bacterial environment that will make me live an extra 40 years. And they don’t know why, they just know it does. And its a super ‘anti-oxidant’ and we love one’a them. And apparently even if you – Read More-

once upon a time…

Once upon a time there was a handsome prince, who lived with his special princess in a castle in North London. Well, due to the increasing costs of heating and the difficulties of energy conservation, this Prince and Princess downgraded to a mere ‘house’. For the good of the environment. The real estate version of – Read More-

Anything but football…

I don’t want to talk about football. My team aren’t playing at the moment, so neither am I. That’s it. I cannot live in a loveless world. And there is no love at Spurs currently. Just what happens when a bunch of mercenaries that you delude yourself into thinking ‘love the shirt’, mainly because they’re – Read More-

Judgmental…

Glasgow University is giving 20 million quid to the Caribbean to organise a ‘slave history’ centre at a university there. That’s the good bit. All donations are good, to worthy causes, and all advancement in education and academia is a good thing. So we’re happy about that. Its when they band abound terms like ‘reparations’, – Read More-
