We’re all heading for June 21st!!! The biggest day in HISTERRY!!! Not just because its 5 days after my birthday and my hangover would have subsided, but because lockdown gets unlocked. If nothing else happens. And no-one else dies. And the Indians keep their variant to themselves. Said so in the headlines. Because the ‘big – Read More-
At the end of a truly fabulous and wonderful league campaign, Spurs have achieved not just glory but quite literally history! Because by cleverly avoiding the top 4 league places, deftly ducking fifth and side-stepping 6th, we get, as 7th placed, to enter the most coveted, very first, the inaugural, the brand new Europa Conference – Read More-
Martin Bashir murdered Princess Diana! And the BBC took out the hit! Encouraged by Prince Philip. Who threatened to refuse payment of his license fee if they didn’t agree. Prince Harry took to drink and drugs. Prince William took to the Scottish hills to find solace and comfort from… the heather? Thistles? Never smoked either – Read More-
I feel sorry for the poor people of Gaza. The real people. The ones just trying to live, to work, to educate their kids. The ones who only want peace. Which is proving difficult currently, due to the governance of Hamas. Who have long been at war with Israel. In fact the only purpose of – Read More-
No, no, no If you go I’ll be sad and blue… Stevie Wonder. 1974. Brilliant song from a brilliant man.

The true ‘romance of the FA Cup’ is when Basildon Town beat Manchester United. Because it can happen. Doesn’t often but that’s what the Cup is all about. Anything is possible. However improbable. That’s the bit that the proponents of the failure that was the EPL missed completely. Never cared about it in the first – Read More-
The Mayor of Greater Manchester is Andy Burnham. And even though he was born in Liverpool, and hatred between our two ‘great’ (?) north-west cities is strong, he was voted mayor and last week was re-elected with a massive majority. I’ve never been a massive fan of Burnham. Not because he looks like an early – Read More-
I’ve always embraced my inner nerd. I wear glasses. I read a lot. I like science. Sadly my geekiness is almost catastrophically tarnished by my love of sports and ‘hitting things’ in general.
