My name is Andy and I haven’t taken the tube for 3 weeks!!! Hello Andy! And that’s a good thing for Tube Trains Anonymous, but as a former addict, it can only be seen as a bit bizarre. This is England, FFS, it’s supposed to rain. Often. Annoyingly. Disruptively. Frustratingly. (We have so many descriptions – Read More-
Remember ‘the A-team’? I loved that show. The wonderful George Peppard. who was also Banacek, who drove one of these fabulous cars. Just so you know. A-team. A metaphor for bringing in your best game, your top people, the do-ers, the movers and shakers, the big thinkers and the uber-strategists. That’s an A-team. And that – Read More-
So I had every intention of giving my tenner’s worth of daily rant about two megalomaniacal egotists bromancing round Anchorage working out just how big a bus they need to throw Ukraine under so they can divvy up the land and resources between them.

So me mate Dave… well, I have 17 of them, so best clarify; it’s not the one who lives up the road, nor the one who went to court for beating his wife. Not the one who for 6 years became ‘me mate, Doris’, neither. This is the one who lives in Canada. Oooohhhh, Canada. – Read More-

I don’t know – Read More-

It’s called an ‘aufruf’ and involves synagogue, prayers, slaying of the third born, ritual sacrifice and drinking blood. Usual – Read More-
What the fuck is our government taking with its tea? What is the drug which makes seemingly (or hopefully) sensible, slightly knowledgable people, take massive world problems and think that some kind of facile ‘just world theory’ can be used to solve ALLLLLLL the problems. Add a little fairy dust and EVERYBODY will be happy – Read More-
I just read that ‘55% of the food consumed by Americans is Ultra processed’. Wow! 55%!!! What they don’t tell you is: 55% of what? The overall calorific values? The overall weight? And is that an overall figure for the nation? Or that the average American eats 55% u/p food? However, as there is no – Read More-
I read the most terrible thing this morning. Convertible cars are doomed. The motor industry has conspired to take away the bestest, most fun, incredibly enjoyable experience that driving can offer in order to normalise the world into a homogenous gloop of faceless SUVs. Nah mate, ya don’ need a convertible, ‘ave one a these, – Read More-
Hi, its me again, Trish, from the Palestine Action march a few weeks ago. Remember? I was the tall fair-haired woman (not completely natural in colour but everyone says it really suits me) wearing Laura Ashley and my keffiah, singing about rivers and seas before I got arrested. Anyway, my husband pitched up with our – Read More-
