Brilliant! I’ve just learned that Steps, the millennial errr… well… not quite ‘super’ group, more… sort of… like… oh yeah, total waste of space, time and AIR!!!, are having a retrospective type thing to ‘get people moving in Lockdown’. Because most people are totally unaware that sitting on a sofa for 16 hours eating chocolate – Read More-
Ok, so having slagged off lateral flow tests yesterday, I thought I’d better take one. For YOU. Because I’m prepared to lay myself on the line in the interests of my people! Ok, not so much lay on a line as shove a stick up my nose. Quite a long stick in my case, obviously. – Read More-
For the next part in my ongoing (to eternity) and very popular series “All statistics IS bollocks” (and apparently a lot of grammar is too, innit), I’d like to look at… well, statistics, obviously. A new one came out today in the sports pages. And remember, in the beautiful game that none can watch live, – Read More-
Look I don’t like to gloat, unless football’s involved, I’m not normally smug, unless I’m speaking to you or any other unworthy, and its not in my nature to be competitively celebratory. I’ve never previously had the opportunity to create vaccine envy. But I’m getting the vaccine on Wednesday. What? How? Who? Where? Really??? Yes, – Read More-
America is burning! Not, sort of, literally, they didn’t set any fires. That’s probably today. But metaphorically, the ‘home of democracy’ is under mob rule. The only problem being that the leader of that mob is, currently, the (once) elected president of that country. Normally civil insurgence occurs to overthrow a dastardly, vile, corrupt and – Read More-
I don’t know if this is an extension of Tier 4, morphing into an official lockdown, or a different thing altogether, like, forget Tier 4, we’re over that and NOW we’re having a proper lockdown. Not like the last one, that was shit. Like the FIRST one. The proper one. Except for two important differences. – Read More-
Here’s a stunning headline, a real shocker: ‘Grease (the movie) is sexist!!’ HOLY SHIT!! Is it? I never realised. Though thinking about it, the movie is just about school kids. Ok, who are all white, the entire cast, who are either having sex with girls who, in the most part, are unwilling to participate, or – Read More-
Back in October we booked an event. Do you remember October? Ahhh, those heady days of… well, pretty much like July, less anxious than April, not as hot as May and the word ‘variant’, although part of our language, wasn’t repeated 67 times on every news broadcast. Tiers were what dyslexics cried. It was the – Read More-
Although I ‘dabbled’ in horror movies when I was in my mid-teens, it was never my favourite genre. I didn’t mind the grisly deaths, it was just that they seemed to occur instead of a plot, rather than because of it. Or they all shared the same plot. Which all had that fatal flaw. The – Read More-
I used to be a ‘believer’. I had ‘faith’. But then we lost at Chelsea… I also used to be a believer in that other thing, the God thing. Possibly til I was almost 9, maybe only 8 and then it all just got a bit illogical, a bit of a cop-out, a bit ‘out – Read More-
