Greta Thunberg, annoying Norwegian enviro-warrior, has something of a dilemma. In fact its a typical dilemma faced by all of us tree huggers who live a saintly life of carbon-free-ness and yet at times need to get somewhere. Because living the zero carbon life is fairly simple if you stay in one place. It’s only – Read More-
My newspaper didn’t arrive this morning. Sunday morning. The ultimate ‘tea and newspapers in bed’ morning of the whole week, the defining morning for the entire concept of such a simple but fabulously decadent pleasure when both Mel & I are there to share in its enjoyment (she takes the Magazines, I take the Sports – Read More-
I just shouted at Alexa. I didn’t abuse her, because she’s not a female MP, I didn’t slap her, because she’s a fucking radio and I’d have hurt my hand, and I didn’t even swear. I just shouted at her in a rather unfriendly, slightly unpleasant tone. Because listening to the post-rugby discussion is all – Read More-

Though it all gets a bit vague when you travel up past Luton, I know, just a vast northern wilderness of strange accents, stranger – Read More-
It’s comin’. The General Election that ‘everyone’ wants. Everyone needs. Everyone’s gagging for, chewing the bit, climbing the walls, simply MAD for. Its here.

Football was my first love And it will be my last… Football of the future And football of the paaaaast That was a pop song in nineteen something or other. Terrible bleedin’ song, so I changed the lyric a touch due to ‘artistic freedom’. Yet the sentiment is true. Football was my ‘first love’ and – Read More-
Have you seen Joker yet? Then you should. It’s remarkable. Brilliant. Mesmerising. And a bit brutal. Joaquin Phoenix plays the eponymous hero(??) in a study of a sick, warped and abused mind. Mel found it too long and too slow. Pretty much as she finds every movie due to her lack of patience with everything – Read More-
