Like Churchill before him, Boris Johnson is inspiring the entire nation, every man, woman, person, object, thing with multiple bits, undecideds, crossovers, gender fluids and any group I may have inadvertently missed, to fight, fight fight!! this horrible pandemic. We are all being encouraged to stand up, get battle ready, bare arms, join together (no – Read More-
I think HSBC should be praised for the 2 trillion (!!!) pounds worth of money laundering they’re responsible for over a 17 year period. It shows ingenuity, creativity, inspiration verging on desperation. They not only did this activity for companies they suspected of being ‘a bit dodgy’, but carried on even when assured that assumed – Read More-
Gareth Bale arrived in the country on Friday. 2 days later Spurs rolled over Southampton at St Mary’s, 5-2. I mean… I mean… I mean that’s a big score. A resounding score. A proper score. The score of dominance, the score of class, the score of… top 4 contenders! If not the league itself, if – Read More-
In today’s big match, the final result was: Covid 1, God didn’t. Because its Rosh Hashannah, the holiest day of the entire… week? month? Year? Whatever, its fucking holy, is what it is. And as the Jewish year is up to 5781 (we started so long before anyone else, Christians didn’t learn how to count – Read More-
All religions have some kind of ‘second coming of the messiah’. Even though most don’t really remember the first one. Jesus was a good dude but no-one realised how good til he’d died.

The rule of six came into force on Monday. I’m relieved. No idea why, it’ll make no difference to anyone. Unless… unless… unless you spy on your mates!!! And report them!!! To the ‘hotline’!!! The ‘scummy, scabby, snitchy grass-line’ as it will be known and as recommended by policing minister, Kit Malthouse. Who, when he – Read More-
I have had a request. A first in the entire history of this esteemed and much respected blog, which always aims to provide honesty, clarity, ‘transparency’ (steps aside to avoid vomiting on i-pad) and impartial, well-balanced… reporting? Opinionating? Ranting??? Whatever. It’s fucking impartial, innit. And will remain so until becoming partial provides a funnier scenario. – Read More-
The new football season has finally started. About a month later than usual but in the circumstances, that ain’t bad. So I watched a bit of Liverpool against Leeds, possibly more than I would have normally because Leeds kept on equalising the score. Which is not the ‘Anfield script’ at all. The Anfield script reads – Read More-
Just the six of us. Bill Withers said it first. But the numbers have been increased in line with inflation and then reduced in line with the pandemic. And then, and only then, can they be ignored once more. Here’s the rule. Set by Boris. And Boris alone. No longer any kind of parliamentary democracy, – Read More-
This year you may have noticed something distinctly absent from these pages. If you can call digital output ‘pages’. Have you noticed? What’s missing??? Probably not Lila or Joey, they’re still featured. Political intrigue is still… intriguing, football is still football, ok, there’s been a few less reviews of new movies and super restaurants (ok, – Read More-
