Ok, I’d never heard of ‘Telegram’, the media ‘thing’, until last week when Pavel Durov, the owner, was arrested in France. For ‘being in possession of a communication medium which bad people use’. Ya don’t mess with Macron. He might look like a scrawny little mummy’s boy scrap of arrogance and typically French stroppiness, but – Read More-
The Northern Line managed to take me 3 stops last night before packing up. Power failure at Camden. Catastrophic. Yeah, heard it before, it’ll be going again in 5 minutes. But after 10 minutes they announced ‘the entire Northern Line is suspended’. Stranded at Tottenham Court Road. Fuck! Hang on; where there’s Lime Bikes, there’s – Read More-
When you turn 60 you start getting uninvited emails from SAGA and all manner of unscrupulous organisations whose very existence is testament to the gullibility of old people and the credibility we attach to established companies who sound ‘beneficial’ to the aged.

Why ‘negotiate’ when ‘caving in totally’ is so much easier, quicker. The whole thing with unions is that it’s in their mandate – Read More-
The death of Mike Lynch as caused such a stir that thousands of people immediately cried out in anguish and despair: “who?” “Oh, the geezer wot sunk on ‘is boat in Sicily”.

The good news is: you can eat carbs again. Don’t hold back. No counting calories. Have the extra slice. Buy two of those. Eat the whole loaf. Toast is now king. Whereas it was… toast.

What are we going to do about the Scottish Nationalists? Ok, due to various… issues, we’re now lumbered with only 9 of the fuckers in Westminster since the last election. Previously there were about 70 which is too much for anyone. If I’m honest, one SNP MP is one too many. And yesterday showed me – Read More-
