Top of the…

Complete this well-known song: “we’re top of the league, we’re top of the leaea-eague, Tottenham Hotspur, we’re top of the league…” (You complete it by repeating it non-stop until Saturday, depending on future results, but if we win on Friday… if we beat Palace… then it doesn’t matter what happens on Saturday and you can – Read More-

To Birmingham… and beyond!!!

 We went to Birmingham yesterday. We love it there… Ok, no one loves it there, we went because there was a little mini ‘conference’ of a worky nature and that’s where they held it. At the National Motorcycle Museum, which is the coolest place ever, if you like motorcycles, and pretty lovely even if – Read More-

Semi-exited…

With all this war going on and Scotland washing away in storm Babet, we’ve almost forgotten two very important facts. 1. Proper football returns again after the poxy ‘international break’. 2. England are in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup!!! Tonight!!! In the ‘other’ semi-final, the one good-thinking, right-minded, world-conscious Inglish people don’t give – Read More-

2nd Instalment…

And thus the world divided. After an act of the most savage, merciless and horrendous butchery since Srebrenica, followed by Israeli bombardment and blockade on Gaza, it is probable than not one person in the world has ‘changed sides’. Our preconceptions, our bias, conscious or not, endures. We make the events fit our own internal – Read More-

Time out…

Ok, I’ve managed to avoid ‘the middle east’ for a few days now, even though it is most of what I think about when I’m not engaged in some form of employment or distraction. Like taking Lila and Joey to school early today so they could get a ‘sibling’ photo taken. Ooooooh, that’s so lovely!!!! – Read More-

Health issues…

So there’s good news, always first. And that is that my dodgy hip (I know you’ve been really concerned; I can tell by all your messages of worry, support and love! Yeah, right) is slowly but surely on the mend. I can think about wearing left shoes once more. No more hopping when it rains. – Read More-

Plug’n’play…

A massive event happened in my life on Wednesday. Not, going to Brent Cross in itself, though appreciate that is a trip which, like visiting Mecca for the Haj, happens once in a lifetime (AND NEVER NEEDS REPEATING!!!), but the purpose of the visit: to buy a new ipad!!! Because the old one was… a – Read More-

moral maze…

So the bastard muthafuckas of Hamas invaded Israel and murdered hundreds of people. Just people, living at home, playing with the kids, visiting grandparents, maybe working, all dead. Whatever their age, status, degree of ‘innocence’, just fucking dead. Another group picked a rock festival. Kids. Young adults. Just dancing, listening to the music, probably taking – Read More-

Twice in a week…

I went to the theatre AGAIN last night. Twice in a week. My yearly quota eaten up, I don’t have to go again til next July. Not that I mind the theatre (very gracious of me, I know, right?) but I find it far harder to ‘engage’ with than movies, which remain my medium of – Read More-

LinkedIn premable: The hardest thing I’ve ever written. Jews should read it. Non-Jews should read it. I suppose that means all of you. Jew & Me This post is about Judaism. This post is about Israel. Not suitable for LinkedIn? I thought I was meant to bring my ‘whole self’ to work. They are a – Read More-
