Power up…

We listen to the news, we hear about the ‘energy crisis’, yet we pooh-pooh the very concept of ‘renewable energy’ as something we’ll consider when we need it, we burn oil and gas for all we’re worth and we laugh when we hear of countries having programmed power cuts to conserve power. Basically; we just – Read More-

Poetic injustice…

One resorts to poetry when mere words strung together won’t suffice, In matters of love and sorrow, broken hearts and departures from this life. Like Country and Western, with dead dogs excluded, but without the silly hats, and obviously no line-dancing to make them look like twats, Outpourings of a devastated soul and shattered dreams – Read More-

likely candidate…

Ok, we’ve got a great candidate here for a really top job. You need someone with a proven track record, oodles of charisma and no skeletons in the closet. Well, with this guy, nothing’s in the closet, he came out years ago. But he has everything we need to be Britain’s top overseas representative. A – Read More-

Red alert…

Red-heads are taking over. It’s not a quick thing, it moves at glacial time, but ginger hair is increasing in frequency. I know how relieved everyone feels knowing that. Which is why a Harvard study spent umpteen fucking years and countless billions of dollars (not mine, fortunately; I’m neither a benefactor of Harvard nor a – Read More-

worrying…

Yesterday, Lord Robertson, the former head of Nato, made a speech. He spoke in Scottish. But in any fucking language, the message was the same. We’re fucked. Britannia no longer rules the waves. With current government, it barely rules itself. And ‘ruling the waves’ would not protect us from missiles and bombs anyway. We’d be – Read More-

truth anti-social…

There’s a terrible man; really horrible little man, probably the worst man in the world. He runs a country, he’s a terrible dictator in his little country, has total control. There’s no democracy, he rules everybody, pushes them around. Its an awful place, really awful. Terrible. They exclude women from most of the life there, – Read More-

doomsday…

My life is ruined. My head is awash with doom, gloom and has no room for stupid alliterations, or anything else. I don’t care that Donald Trump is going to blockade the Straits of Hormuz to prevent Iran from blockading the Straits of Hormuz. I have no interest in Viktor Orban being deposed after 16 – Read More-

When hyperbole becomes reality…

I can be subject to accusations of occasional exaggeration. Which in turn could be described as hyperbole. Particularly when football is concerned. Because, quite frankly, every match is ‘the most important game of the seaon’, otherwise it’s not worth playing. Ok, that rules out England friendlies because they’re shit and no one cares about the – Read More-

Power…

Power corrupts. Unless its at Battersea Power Station because they don’t make it there any more. They used to. Then they abandoned it. Forever. But if 24 hours is a long time in politics, ‘forever’ is a very short term in property development. (I’m going to mix in a few more metaphors to create a – Read More-

Under pressure…

As you know: I’m possibly the most perfect specimen of male-not-as-young-as-he-once-was-but-still-FUCKING-AWESOME!!! Possibly. But it involves a lot of work. Not ‘work’, haven’t done that YET. But I will. Lips pumped up like my bike tyres; waist sucked dry of anything remotely ‘lipid’, eyes lifted, boob-job, nose-job, bum-lift,EVERYTHING!!! But first comes health. And I adhere to – Read More-
