My alternative heading for this post was ‘why did the Jew cross the road?’, but I opted for the one which took up less space. Pragmatist. The Jew in question was Gideon Falter, who, by sheer coincidence, in case you think he was just trying to make a point, happens to be the head of – Read More-
What’s more important than cars??? Oh, of course, football. More important than anything. But it is definitely worth mentioning this car which, unlike yesterday’s, is a ‘proper’ motor. With window-winders and a gear lever and, most importantly, chrome. I love chrome. And it has never been deployed more beautifully than on a 1961 Mercedes 300SL. – Read More-
I went to a car show yesterday. I love cars. Always have. Ever since I was old enough to pick up a ‘Matchbox’ Chevrolet Impala and hit my brother on the head with it. Repeatedly. So when we received an ‘offer’ from the bank ‘inviting’ us to, not just some random car show in, like – Read More-
When I was about 14 I went to Petticoat Lane market and bought a ‘ban the bomb’ necklace thing. Not a ‘necklace’ in any delicate, subtle, pretty kind of way, this was a fucking great cross, about 3 inches long, with the upper strut being a loop. Which changed it from ‘I love Jesus’ to – Read More-
This government is intent on taking away our freedoms. We might as well be living in China during the ‘cultural revolution’, or in Russia under Stalin. Maybe Putin. And I’m not just talking about the freedom to drive dangerously fast whilst sipping cocktails either. First they’re going to stop children from smoking. Why would they – Read More-

It is pretty much the entire north-east quadrant of the Middle East. It is 79 times larger than Israel (Alexa told me) and has a population of 90 million. – Read More-
Here’s what’s happening in the Premier League. Today!!! Well, yesterday and Saturday really. Which can basically be summed up in one simple sentence. Ready? It reads: everyone fucked up, except Manchester City. Possibly Aston Villa. 2 sentences. Sue me. For every other team (maybe not the ones who won, but we’ll include them for the – Read More-
Well I’ve managed to avoid the Middle East for weeks now, despite internalising it every day. So now, in light of ‘Death Wish 7: The Revenge of the Ayatollah’ last night, I think we need to see exactly how the situation has changed and, more importantly, how ‘we’ move forward from this. So Isreal killed – Read More-
Honestly, that Angela Rayner… Now I’m not going to even try to explain the nature of her (alleged) crime(s), but its along the lines of having two homes, one of which she kept her name to but lived in the other, with her husband, and where her children were ‘registered’ but she was on the – Read More-
I look forward to my monthly email from Google telling me of my ‘activity’ during the month. In fact, it’s the only email I get which I want. The rest are all from groupon who, I’m sure, are lovely people but in the interests of sanity should just FUCK OFF! A better man than me – Read More-
