Omicron is serious. Nothing to do with case numbers, airport closures, party restrictions or even deaths. When football stops; its serious. And out of 10 fixtures this weekend, only 4 were played. Most of which didn’t count. The Arsenal match certainly was of no concern to anyone and Newcastle losing the Middle East derby match – Read More-
By Christmas Day there will be (an estimated, always fucking estimated) 55,000 NHS employees at home with Covid. Oh. My. Gooooooooodddd… Will any of them be ill, dying, ready for hospitalisation, at death’s door or ready for euthanising? No. Will they be ‘ill’, feel poorly, a bit under the weather? Yeah, a few, for about – Read More-
There was a tragedy on Thursday. Not the one in Leicester when the Spurs match was cancelled for covid. The one in Shropshire (no idea either, I’m guessing ‘up north somewhere’). In which the Conservatives were… ‘mullered’ barely covers it, ‘hammered‘ lacks the potency of the reality, ‘thrashed’, ‘defeated’ and ‘decimated’ all pitifully inadequate. I – Read More-
It’s a funny ole world. Lewis Hamilton wins 7 Grand Prix titles and gets nothing (the 50 mil a year simply doesn’t ‘count’, we’re not talking ‘monetary gain’ here) other than a few lumps of cut glass to put on his mum’s mantelpiece. Then he loses a championship, in the most spectacular, violent and brutal – Read More-
Ninety-nine conservative MPs voted against their own government yesterday as Boris attempted, successfully as it turned out anyway, to turn us into a police state, removing our freedoms and turning us into a “SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!!!!!” regime, in the model of Nazi Germany or Russia any time since 1917. They probably do it in – Read More-
“We’re all goin’ on’a, winter holiday, no more workin’ for a week or two…” Probably. We’re probably going on holiday. On Christmas Day. Tenerife. All planned, booked and even paid for at least 3 waves ago. On Boxing Day Lila and Joey are coming to meet us there, probably bringing their mum & dad, not – Read More-
When. WHEN. WHEN!!!!!???? did I become ‘that person’? Can’t have happened overnight? Did it? Must have taken months, years, decades? Possibly covid accelerated, exacerbated, contributed, accumulated… But one day I was a really lovely, easy-going, no-cares kind’a dude who took everything in his stride, and now I’m a short-fuse away from anger, insult, abuse, swearing, – Read More-
Cabinet Office, yesterday morning… Boris: Look, this damnable shit-storm about last year’s Christmas party just won’t go away, its proving to be worse than bloody Covid. The public feel cheated, that oik Starmer is banging on about ‘one rule for them and one for us’ like he’s an extra from an Orwell novel and most – Read More-
I gave you my heart, but the very next day… You had a massive, drink-fueled party for 55 people gyrating masklessly inside Number 10, with uninhibited shouting, rubbing, groping, the usual works party hi-jinks, as ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ boomed in the background… and the rest of the nation sat in lonely solitude, darkness and – Read More-
I went to football yesterday, to see my beloved Tottenham Hotspurs in the best football stadium in the world, in the shittiest region of London. As ya do. I went with Tory Boy, as you can see, because some geezer bestowed upon him a bunch’a tickets for the Norwich match. Probably another Tory, definitely an – Read More-
