I would never willingly, knowingly, consciously, ‘watch’ an awards show. Not the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Dog-of-the-year show or even Footballer of the Year. Of which there seem to be about 9. The BBC one, the viewers one, the FA one… It’s not that I’m opposed to ranking a group of peers on the merits of – Read More-
No-one knows the Labour party’s position on Brexit. Labour don’t know the Labour party’s position on Brexit. Kier Starmer, the shadow Brexit minister, or ‘old dead eyes’ as I like to think of him, continuously maintains that they’d just ‘negotiate a much better deal’ without actually mentioning what that might entail. And certainly never ever – Read More-
Let’s talk football. I wanna talk about football. I love football. It’s the best game ever, its the finest… thing, the most wonderful… other thing… I just love it! So no prizes for guessing that Spurs won yesterday. In one of the most delightful performances (never saw a moment) and totally dominant play (not even – Read More-
When do you not mind the rain? Ok, when its nighttime and you’re in, that’s fine. ‘Good for the garden’. And the (only) other time is when you’re supposed to be playing tennis but can’t find anyone to play with. Then the rain’s good. Because you (errrr, or ‘me’, probably) don’t feel you’ve missed out. – Read More-
For the last two weeks the indoor pool at Mel’s gym has been closed for maintenance. Ok, not the end of the world, but a pain. Because she swims there 4 times a week doing on average 2km a day. So by now she’s 16km off where she should be. Which is like being in – Read More-
I fasted. Yesterday. Yom Kippur. The fast day. 25 hours, no food. Not a morsel. Then you go to someone’s house, in our case that of my brother, and eat 72 hours worth of food in 22 minutes. The 25 hours is the ‘rule’, the other statistics just mere testament to piggishness. The best piggishness – Read More-
I gotta new iPad. And I’m hating it already. If the ‘set up’ process’ doesn’t kill you then the added new features will drive you insane within 2 days. Plus the additional benefit of every time you press something new it wants to give you lectures, tutorials, videos, instructions and, basically TOO MUCH INFORMATION. It – Read More-
When you’re bored with New York, you’re bored with life. Can’t remember who said that but I’ll bet he was a New Yorker. Now the new one is: when you’re bored with Brexit, you’re bored with Brexit. So good they said it twice. Or so bad, as is the case. But its understandable. You would – Read More-
I really don’t want to talk about football. Even though I missed it last weekend, it can be so horrible as to be totally depressing. I’m looking forward to next season now. This one’s finished. But I had a row the other day. At the Library. Where I take Lila for her nursery rhyme half – Read More-
Well that’s it then. We now know that Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov are innocent of all claims that they tried to murder the Skripals in Salisbury back in March. They couldn’t have done it because they simply didn’t have time. They came on a whirlwind visit to measure the steeple on Salisbury Cathedral (123 – Read More-
