Have you played the amazing Pokemon Go yet? NOOOO???? Where are you? 1975?? For fuck’s sake stay with the plot. Pokemon Go is the biggest thing since the wheel. Since the bicycle. Since internal combustion engines. Since the death of internal combustion engines. Since Wales in the Euros. Ok, its big, you get the idea. – Read More-
I worry for the world. All of it. Ok, my bit of it. Its fucked. Totally. By people intent on death and destruction of ‘the western way of life’. And I hate them. Simply hate them. Not enough that I would take my own life to destroy them, or to meaninglessly destroy some symbol of – Read More-
We need to talk about health. Mine. Because its important. And having just survived a possibly near-fatal dose of man-cold, I feel qualified to relate useful information, dispel some popular myths and tell you of my heroic struggle against this horrendous disease. The ISIS of the nasal passages. Monday night I have a sore throat. – Read More-
Summer’s here. Well, its sunny this morning, that’ll have to do. All the sport’s finished now. Ok, we have the Olympics coming soon, to a Zika virus near you, (can it be transmitted through the tv??) but they’ve basically removed all sport and replaced it with golf. Great.

Though maybe a woman with children is ‘more of a woman’ than one without?? As implied, then denied vigorously, by Andrea Leadsom yesterday. Who then won – Read More-
Barak Obama is a black man. You may not have realised that. And although he’s from Hawaii originally, he lived his adult life in Chicago. Where they view black people as, kind’a, ‘people’.

Nero played fiddle whilst Rome burned, I played bridge when Wales crashed. Out of the Euros. Tuesday night. Missed the match.
