The problem with Lila days is that on occasion I have to go to work. Which is very disruptive for Lila because it is undoubtedly her favourite day of the week. When she gets chocolate. Lolipops. Frosties. Hot dogs. And I let her drive the car. Well, ya gotta learn sometime. (Her mum actually tests – Read More-
When is the news not the news? Either when its fake news or when its no news. Or both. So Donald Trump tweets ‘look at England; their Universal Medical… thing (he almost said it like that, really) is broke and not working’. So we must assume that his use of the word ‘broke’ is not – Read More-
There’s lots of important stuff going on. I suppose there always is. But they’re talking of replacing our Prime Minister! If they could get a pair of leopard-skin shoes on a lamp-post that would be fair. But they’re talking about replacing her with Boris, and Michael Gove, AND Jacob Rees-Mogg. Three for one. A clown, – Read More-
Cyrille Regis died a few weeks ago. Which was a shame. Only 58 and a genuine superstar footballer. Played (mainly) for West Bromwich Albion so he was never likely to achieve much fame and notoriety that way, but he had two things going for him which assured he would forever command a place English football. – Read More-
Have I told you how much I can’t stand New, New Labour? Did I mention that at all? Comrade Corbyn and his merry band of Trotskyites, bullies, misogynists, Stalinists, scumbags and anti-semites? Then let me make mention now. I FUCKING HATE THE LOT OF THEM. Now I’m feeling better. Not content with spreading their hate-filled – Read More-

The three points are still the same, still feel great, but when you win against (allegedly) top-flight opposition, you want to win well. And its still not enough. Because you then want – Read More-
Look, I know its not ‘up there’ with the North Korean nuclear threat, with increasing levels of knife crime, with Arsenal losing at Swansea, with child abuse, but it made the front page of the Times today, so it must be a. really important, and b. totally true beyond question. The uglier you are the – Read More-
I am carless. I have no car. For probably the first time since I was 16 and 7/8ths and bought my first Mini which I couldn’t drive so just kept cleaning it until the glorious day of my 17th birthday. Ok, I drove it a bit, but not very far and quite modestly so as – Read More-
We have but one ‘proper’ computer at home these days. We used to have loads. At one time, when the girls were allowed to live here, it looked like NASA control in the playroom. But now we have one. Because most of what we do is on ipads. Like writing this shit. Just the way – Read More-
