So its 3.45 am and I’m asleep. Who’d’a thought? And then I’m awake. Because of a bang. Big enough to wake me. And Mel. She ‘heard’ the bang because she was only half asleep from a potty stop 10 minutes earlier. But I didn’t hear it because it was the agent of my awakening, so – Read More-
‘The camera never lies’, as they say. So forget all the cutesy-wootsy posing and posturing which you’re used to from the world’s bestest granddaughter, because underneath all that facade of sweetness and compliance and good-girlish goo-goo, there lurks… a woman in waiting! This one. Unless she chooses to change how she identifies, later in life, – Read More-
I don’t know if angels say that, when they’re being angelic. I’m not sure they say anything really, especially if they’re Jewish angels, because then if there were two of them, they’d have 3 different opinions about the same thing and they’d end up arguing. Which is not just ‘not very angelic’ but defeats the – Read More-
This is how it works. If you earn 25,000 quid a year and pay 20% tax, you are contributing £5k to the economy. Ok, that is sooooo simplistic, but iss just for illustration, innit.

In 2001 Roy Keane, the captain of the great, treble-winning Manchester United team, was annoyed with a Manchester City player who, Keane felt, had ‘disrespected him’. Which is a word generally used by people unaccustomed to so many syllables, as a declaration of a fight. Not even a declaration, more a prelude. And because Roy – Read More-
Just a quick summary of recent events, not counting the Queen bit, cos we’ve done that, been there, joined the queues, haven’t so much got the ‘t-shirt’ but I have a pocket full of money to remember her by. So Liz Truss became PM, killed her Maj so she could have 10 days to work – Read More-
And thus starts the most stressful time of the year. The first Arsenal versus Spurs match. I hate them. I’ve been to loads but they’re way too horrible. I’ve watched hundreds and its possibly worse on tv. No other match has this effect. So I’ve decided to play ostrich and bury my head in lots – Read More-
This week represents the most important, most serious, most spiritual and most… everything! week of the year. It is the week bounded by the Jewish New Year at one end and the Day of Atonement at the other. If we were catholics it would be ‘the week of deep shit’, but we do it a – Read More-
I’m not happy about developments. In a nuclear way. Russia is threatening (plus ca change…), and Iran, thanks to Barak Obama’s acceptance of their nuclear ‘ENERGY ONLY AND NOTHING TO DO WITH ARMS WHATSOEVER’ program, are 17 days away from nuclear armament, should that choice be made. And you know they want to. Apparently, at – Read More-
Well, you gotta hand it to Liz Truss; she used her 10 day ‘grace period’ well. With her Chancellor she worked out a system to take an economic situation which looked fairly precarious and managed, in just a few days, to plunge it into the depths of never-before-land.
