Lila Sophia was born last Saturday morning. Other than being April 1st I thought no significance to the timing. Natalie did, as she’d been struggling and suffering and bleeding and being surgically intervened with for the 2 days previous. But its not about her, women deliver babies all the time. How hard can it be? – Read More-
Do you like pizza? The ‘strict’ answer is ‘of course not, bodies a temple, blah, blah, excessive fat, unnecessary carbs, too much salt, blah, blah, foodie-blah’. But of course the real answer is ‘FUCK YEAH!!!’ But generally when you go out to eat its a question of ‘do you want to go for a nice, – Read More-
the omens were good. Lila was born and a mere 7 hours later Spurs won at Burnley. Obviously completely down to her. The very next day, yesterday, the day when, had she the power of speech, she could actually say: ‘do you think I was born yesterday??’, that very day Arsenal and Man City drew – Read More-
I’m new to this grandparenting lark. From what I’ve seen so far, its fantastic. I get to stare at the most gorgeous baby in the world, as long as I like. And I do like. She’s wonderful. Not that I’ve seen her with eyes open yet, but there’s time for these things. No rush. I – Read More-

I have no idea about the significance of that particular time. It was a totally ‘un-Kennedy’ moment. In that, no-one will ever remember what they were doing at 12.25 – Read More-

Its a hologram in Hong Kong. Whilst the Prof was at home in Cambridge. And seeing as hopping on Easyjet is a – Read More-
Mauricio Pochettino, the holiest of holies, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur football club, the man who WALKS ON WATER, who has taken a rag-bag group of bad buys, poor attitudes and abject appallingness and turned it into a wonder-team of togetherness and passionate artistry, the best man in the whole country… was seen in a – Read More-
Gwyneth Paltrow has decided that its wrong to eat squid because, in common with other cephalopods, ‘they are intelligent’. Therefore; we mustn’t eat them. In case they… errrr… realise what’s happening? Get scared?? Write bad things about us on Squid-Advisor? The first thing that has to be taken into account is that the word ‘Paltrow’ – Read More-
