Its my birthday. Ok, the line is: ‘its my party…’ but I’m allowed. Because its my birthday. So I’m allowed anything I want. Except for one thing. Cannabis oil. Its illegal. Not in many countries but in the UK, its illegal. Even though its ‘medical grade’ and prescribed by doctors. So I can’t have it – Read More-
So I enjoyed yesterday’s dentistry so much, I’m going back for more today. As my anniversary present. Yes, its my- sorry, ‘our’ wedding anniversary and I have another hour booked in ‘the chair’ for my own, personal Marathon Man moment. Today’s photo is the card I bought for Mel. Not because it says anything about – Read More-
When is a Lila day not a Lila day? Have you worked it out yet? NO!!! You must have a very low IQ. Its not a Lila day if Lila’s not here. That’s the rule. And she’s not. She’s run off. Even though she doesn’t walk yet. Run off to Italy. Packed her little case – Read More-
The Korean War ended 65 years ago. North versus South. Or, China versus America, as it transpired. The first ‘proxy war’ of our time. And a wonderful precedent it set. Unless you were unfortunate enough to be a Korean, then it was awful. And since then no Westerners have had dealings of any description with – Read More-
Tests in Norway have shown that ‘we’ (and I speak for the entire human race here; everyone on the entire fucking planet!) are getting thicker. More stupid. More dense. Less ‘intelligent’. And I think they’re right. I think you are getting more stupid every day. Apparently, after the last war, ‘intelligence’ increased over the decades – Read More-
Lila is just so clever and bright. If you say the word ‘zoolander’ to her she instantly goes into ‘supermodel’ pose. Other supermodels generally don’t wear nappies, I grant you, but mainly because they don’t eat anything whereas Lila eats everything. We went yesterday all the way to the ‘green’ at the end of the – Read More-
For some reason I’ve become fascinated by the concept of ‘choice’. Well, I know the reason, because of event that occurred last Sunday, but we’ll get to that later. Because we live in a world of almost limitless choices. You want ‘some cheese’, the average supermarket sells 146 varieties. Ok, 130 are all green/black/blue or – Read More-
So we’re all set for the ‘G7’ meeting in Canada. The annual meeting of the world’s most powerful (by numbers) economic nations in the entire known universe. They started as a group of about 5, then it grew up to 8 when Russia was invited to join, post-Soviet era, and then they got kicked out – Read More-
I mean; Russia’s almost my ‘second home’, right? I have a deep-lying love and feeling for all this Russki stuff. I understand them. I’m almost a part of this whole ‘Russian thing’. Right? I mean, a week there in the strictly tourist environs, speaking to no natives unless they were tour guides, walking the streets, – Read More-
As my age has increased, so has the usage of personal screens and phones. 40 years ago, the time (average) spent looking at phones (to 2 decimal places) was… 0. You spoke into phones, looked at the dialling thing, didn’t look at the phones cos if you did you wouldn’t hear what the ‘other end’ – Read More-
