To Starm…

I’ve decided to enter the word ‘Starm’ into the English vocabulary. I starm, you starm, he is a total fucking Starmer, we Starm… ya get the idea. Its a verb. You’ve seen those before. Even if most of you wouldn’t know it was a verb. Or it can be a noun. Either way, it means – Read More-

Mail order…

I only read the Mail on Sundays. Its all I can take. But I have to read it, as many millions of Brits do. Ok, not the clever ones, obviously, not even, in the most part, the nice ones, the decent ones, the caring ones, the tolerant ones or those who may have voted ‘Remain’, – Read More-

ULEZ…

I’d just like to say that, as a rather smug and superior electric car driver, the extension of the Ultra Low Emission Zone is a welcome addition to London’s fight against congestion and pollution and its quest for a greener, more caring, more carbon-free contribution to the world and all the polar bears. Ahhhhhh. And – Read More-

Its here…

Summer’s are dead boring. There’s no football. You go on holiday and spend a fortnight hiding from the sun and standing under a cold shower, eating foreign muck and spending Euros. Its so hot out there you can barely get your sandals over your socks before heading back into water. Ok, there’s a bit of – Read More-

Everyone moans; “ohh, noooooo, not anOTHER!! destination wedding!!! That’s my fifth this week, thirteenth in the last month, 43rd this year so far!!!

Is-chi-aaaaaah…

The first thing you notice when you arrive in Ischia is the heat. And approximately 3.7 seconds later, just as you’re looking to change your t-shirt because that dry one is suddenly soaking wet, you notice the humidity. It is intense. However, as someone who has quite literally sweated all over the entire world, this – Read More-

Napolitan…

We need to talk about Naples. The City. Ok, we checked in to our hotel at about 10.30 on Thursday night and at 2.35 the following afternoon we were on a ferry to Ischia. So our experience of this fine city is… a bit limited. And our experience can be pretty much defined by: “stayed – Read More-

Oh Joey…

This was Joey on Monday night… leaving the hospital. Where they’d just applied a few steri-strips to his head. I could’a done that. But Joey was kept waiting for 4 hours and I’d have made him wait for 5. Just because. So the local hospital got the job. And not the neatest job I’ve ever – Read More-

what’s goin’ on…

The current and latest (of oh so many) scandal to hit the BBC is ‘presentergate’. A nameless (so far) ‘top’ BBC presenter was paying a young man, arguably and allegedly, a ‘boy’, when the saga began, for naughty images or videos, in exchange for quite a lot of money. I won’t speculate who this ‘presenter’, – Read More-
