Hmmmm…

If we have dinner together, I will probably eat something off your plate. Just grab it. With my fingers. Or fork. Possibly with my toes. When you’ve finished I’ll eat what you’ve left. If we ‘share’ something, you better get in quick. If my fork is busy, I’ll use yours. If yours is busy too, – Read More-

Dirty deeds…

I’d like to use my blogger’s, non-parliamentary privilege to name Philip Green as the businessman implicated in the spurious allegations of sexual misconduct and racism for which the Court of Appeal upheld the non-disclosure orders on the staff concerned. In doing so I appreciate that I’m making a farce of the country’s legal system but – Read More-

My sweet lord…

I’ve never had a season ticket for Tottenham. Never. When I was young (horrible phrase) I couldn’t afford one and when I was older I always preferred to go to selective games rather than the total commitment of going to every single match. You could say that ‘I lack commitment’ and in this most cases – Read More-

Usual suspects…

They’ve found the ‘pipe-bomber’ who sent 14 bombs in the mail to top Democrats and Trump critics. He lives in Florida. In a white van totally covered in ‘support Trump’ stickers, ‘make America great’ banners and photos of democrats all superimposed with ‘crossed hairs’ over them. Nothing particularly incriminating there then. His name is Cesar – Read More-

‘alf a sixpence…

I walked out the house this morning and there was… sort of… like… water! like, coming out of the sky! Really!! Where the air is normally, virtually always, dry, it was wet! I mean, WTF??? This phenomenon, I eventually recalled, is know as ‘precipitation’, more commonly as ‘rain’, often called ‘fucking rain’, especially by tennis – Read More-

and sometimes…

Sometimes football is the greatest thing ever invented, (that’d be when we win then), other than perhaps the wheel, V8 engines, Cadburys and… oh yeah, and women. And sometimes it feels like shit and you really wish you were like the 24% of the country who just say ‘oh, who played last night then? Did – Read More-

moral no-ground…

First you need to understand the concept of the nation of Turkey getting royally and very understandably pissed off about the killing of a journalist in their fine land. Ok, anyone gets pissed off about any foreign nation coming into their home to commit state-sanctioned murder. But Erdogan stressing that Khashoggi was a representative of – Read More-

Reality check…

There are so many cases going on involving detachment from reality. The first is the Khashoggi ‘incident’ in Turkey. First the Saudis said ‘no, he’s just missing’, which changed to ‘there was a fight’, later morphing into ‘he is dead’, which eventually ended up as ‘he was murdered!’ No shit, Shylock. Then they added: ‘but – Read More-

great service…

I cycle to the station every day. Long as its not raining. Its not far, maybe half a mile, but its far enough to save time and be much more enjoyable than the walk. Though in winter it takes longer getting home. Do up jacket, put on scarf, hat, gloves, hi-vis vest, lights, remove front – Read More-

Good, bad, ugly…

The good thing is that Meghan Markle, aka The Dutchess of somewhere or other, is pregnant. Nothing to do with me. Sadly. But a new royal is currently being growed. The bad news is not that her dad wasn’t told but that the Mail on Sunday deemed as ‘front page worthy’ that ‘he heard about – Read More-
