I didn’t see the Spurs match yesterday, for the main reason, it wasn’t televised. I could have opted for the ‘Bulgarian stream’ or the ‘Lithuanian hackers’ but instead went out for tea. So I watched the hilights on Match of the Day 2. Which didn’t take long. No idea how Leicester weren’t 4-nil up by – Read More-
Tonight in New York there’s a boxing match. Nothing new there. They’ve been doing it since Mohammed Ali got knocked down by Joe Frazier in Madison Square Garden. And that’s the venue for Amanda Serrano to make a title attempt against Katie Taylor, who holds not just one title but is currently as entitled as – Read More-
Oh dear, its all getting a bit Harvey Weinstein over in Parliament. Actually, it always been so in the hallowed halls of Westminster, its just that, unlike 100 years ago, its no longer allowed. Not that there were women in Government 100 years ago, but they’d just started to creep in, having just been allowed – Read More-
Do you do jigsaw puzzles? I don’t mean a cardboard photo of a smiling elephant cut into 6 pieces. I mean a proper fucking puzzle. 1000 pieces. Or more. (Not that I’ve ever done more, but not the point, I’m just establishing what is right for an adult to do and what is NOT). I’ve – Read More-
There was an interview on tv, either last night or possibly tonight (the report may have been from a press preview), with Donald Trump (vile and obnoxious) talking to, or probably shouting at, Piers Morgan (revolting, slimy and obnoxious).

Sometimes I love football and sometimes I hate football. And I don’t just speak of my relationship with my team. Itself something of a unique relationship in its total and absolute one-way-ness. I give them love and loyalty and total dedication and they give me… basically contempt. I’m just a number on an email list – Read More-
Just when you thought it might be of some, minor, educational or informational benefit to actually read the Daily Mail (in this case the Sunday version but its definitely the same beast) then you really need to think again. You should only EVER read a Mail publication to laugh at its stupidity or get really – Read More-
This evening Spurs go to play at Brentford. The magnitude of this match simply cannot be overstated. Bigger than the moon landing. Bigger than Elvis. Bigger than the war in Ukraine. Bigger than anything ever. Having lost to Brighton, stupidly, laughably, ridiculously and so annoyingly, last weekend, we now find ourselves balanced precariously in 4th – Read More-
The French presidential election is on Sunday. The candidates are, in order of least obnoxiousness: Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. (Accounts of obnoxiousness may vary). That’s it. Just the 2. Beauty and the Beast, without the Beauty. And the contest is close. Alarmingly close. The French don’t generally do a lot of ‘re-electeds’. They’re – Read More-
What happened to all my Easter Eggs? Like, WTF??? Ok, not mine, the ones I bought along the way, that’s a rhetorical question. Long gone. But the rest of them. The ones I didn’t buy. Which, normally, over Easter weekend are lined up, piled up, amassed in pyramids in all the supermarkets waiting for me – Read More-
