Like Luke Skywalker, (another small person), Rishi Sunak listened to his advisers, his consultants, his electioneering specialists and then a voice in his head said: “FEEL THE FORCE, RISHI”, so he threw the whole motley crew out of his office, strode out into the pouring rain outside number 10 and told the world (57 drenched – Read More-
President Raisi tragically died in a helicopter crash on Sunday night. The president of all of Iran, famous for being an amazing Ayatollah-impressionist, met his doom when the aircraft was traveling across a mountain range in dense fog. So good work there from Iranian Air Traffic Control. The vehicle suffered what they are calling ‘a – Read More-
Silence may be golden but I know you worry when you don’t hear from me. Ok, you should worry when you don’t hear from me. But I’ve just been soooooo busy. As life sometimes gets. Friday was an early start. We needed to be in Elstree for 8am to see a penis. Ok, for a – Read More-
What’s a ‘foodie’? Someone who loves ‘fine dining’. As opposed to someone who likes all dining. Preferably with a trough of some kind, filled with wonderful things. Breakfast buffets do it for me, as long as they’re good. And am I a ‘foodie’? Or a ‘pig’?? Because I don’t stop. Can’t stop. Don’t want to. – Read More-
Last night. White Hart Lane. Man City. Most important game of the season. Of the decade. Ever. In the entire history of all things. Here’s the scenario. Massively important game for Man City. Lose, or even draw, and Arsenal become hot favourites to win the league. Win, and they take it all. Assuming of course – Read More-
Today is Yom ha’atzmaut. Israel’s Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence was 14th May 1948 and since then they have turned a complete desert into a thriving, lush, beautiful and incredibly productive nation. Fiercely democratic, ultra-liberal, inclusive, tolerant and leads the world in technology and medical advancement. It also leads the world in weaponised defence – Read More-
We fly home today. 5 o’clock flight, in case you fancy picking me up from Heathrow. And who doesn’t love that trip? Which is why God invented the Elizabeth Line. Upon which special people (very very old ones) travel freeeeee!!! It’s been truly fantastic. Yesterday we set a world record of over 26,000 steps walked. – Read More-
So I’m still loving Lisbon. I know it’s been here about 2000 years (bloody Romans, what did they even do for Portugal???) but I like it as much as I did yesterday, if not more!! Possibly because we went to Belem for ‘the ultimate custard tart’, which was the 28 day cured Kobe beef served – Read More-
On Thursday it was Richard’s birthday. So a party was completely out of the question; they wouldn’t allow the entertainer to take animals into the ICU. And apparently strippergrams aren’t medically approved either. No cake, no champagne, no nuffink. Though the ever-wonderful nursing staff did make an effort, bless em. So I treated him to – Read More-
It’s getting a bit horrible in Gaza. Well, it’s been a bit horrible for months now. 7 months to be precise, almost exactly. Since the ‘troubles’ began. And now we’re at a ‘crossroads’. To Rafah or not to Rafah. To ‘do a deal’ with the devil (Hamas) or to just finish the job. The ‘deal’ – Read More-
