The doner kebab was invented in 1975 in Great Titchfield St, Fitzrovia, just round the corner from the BT Tower. FACT! Ish… Ok, the first doner kebab I ever ate was from Great Titchfield Street in 1975. Latterly known as ‘the first day of the rest of my life’, forever after divided into ‘pre-Efes’ and – Read More-
We’re having a baby. As in ‘the family’. Daughter Natalie is about 39 weeks pregnant and growing and we’re in deep ‘preparation’ mode. I do my deep breathing exercises every day and have a bag packed and ready. Even though I’m going nowhere. But its what you do. What you also do is get ‘stuff’. – Read More-
That filthy Scottish bastard who slam-dunked Elliot Daly on the ground after 90 seconds of yesterday’s match at Twickenham with a horrible, illegal and potentially neck-breaking ‘tip tackle’ was given a yellow card. 10 minutes in the ‘sin bin’. He should have been red-carded or more appropriately given 10 minutes in the pillories. Though if – Read More-
I turned 60 last year. Old. Fucking old. But heh, I was only a day older than the day before, and its not like one minute you’re 27 and the next you’re 60. It just feels like that. One of the rules of getting old is that you have to moan about aches, pains and – Read More-
We need to talk about Emma Watson’s tits. I’m sorry, but that’s what its come to. Because a row has positively erupted over this very photograph, taken for Vanity Fair. As photos go, its ok. Emma has only two looks, this one, that I’ll call ‘hard and manly’ and another that she learned at Hogwarts, – Read More-
What do you do when you’re playing a second-leg European tie and you have a four goal deficit from the first leg? Which is, quite frankly, massive. Almost insurmountable. Almost. Arsenal found themselves in such a situation on Tuesday night having been mullered (and Roben-ed, Vidal-ed and many others) 5-1 in Munich in the first – Read More-
I fear that with Chelsea’s win last night the title ‘race’ (if it was ever ‘on’) is over. Spurs are second in line, currently, and remain 10 points behind the Blues. And logically, who, do you reckon, are more likely to have a mini-collapse? A bad run? A blackout? Nervous breakdown or total meltdown? Who – Read More-
We were taken out for tea yesterday. As a ‘thank you’. I accept all the thanks ever offered. Especially if it comes with strawberry jam and clotted cream. We went to the quite stunning Rosewood Hotel in Holborn. No, not ‘quite’ anything, really really fucking stunning. And the ‘mirror room’ is what you’d expect; lavish, – Read More-
Now here’s a funny thing; Spurs are the latest ‘flat-track-bullies’ (and long may it last) who beat teams lower than they are but struggle against the mighty. And logically, that should always be the case. You beat teams who generally perform worse than you do and suffer against those consistently better. Ain’t rocket science. Yet – Read More-
Travis Kalanick, the big boss of all of Uber, had a bit of a row with one of his (millions of) drivers. And he lost it totally. And it was filmed. And went viral. Obviously. And he was ashamed and we were judgmental and everything’s gone to shit. But when you need to get to – Read More-
