Having managed to avoid mooses (I know, it shouldn’t have the final ‘s’, I just think it should), all summer in Newfoundland where they’re ’everywhere!!!!’, in vast numbers (yeah, right, figment of the Canadian tourist board’s imagination), I instead make my own. Though being European, I call it ‘mousse’. And it tastes of chocolate. And – Read More-

When Spurs drew with Wolves, it was tragic. When we lost, again at home, to Villa, it was catastrophic. But those terms of despair relate to the football, to the statistical improbability, to the sheer what should and shouldn’t happen in football. Even though it has a habit of happening. Especially at Spurs. And whilst – Read More-
The alarm went off this morning at 7.20, as it does every saturday. When I go downstairs and make tea, bring it to my dear wife, because I’m the best husband in the entire history of husbands, along with the newspaper. Ok, also because when she goes swimming four mornings a week at 6.45, she – Read More-
The answer to the question is: ‘when he’s a total c-‘, when he’s an obnoxious, arrogant, unapologetic, remorseless, unsympathetic cretin. You act like that, they take away your very Princey-ness.

So King Charles is ‘at work’, on Monday, walking round Lichfield Cathedral, smiling, shaking hands, waving, usual Royal busy-work, and some rude, nasty, anti-royal, disrespectful, probably Chelsea-supporting, moron shouts out abuse regarding Prince Andrew and asking whether MY KING!!!, His Royal Highness-ness, knew about the Epstein link and implied that the King of all England – Read More-
Under our new manager, Thomas Frank, Spurs have opted for a revolutionary method of team selection. The model is familiar in NFL, where your team members are role specific. So your ‘defence’ team is 11 completely different geezers from your ‘offence’ team. Then you have 11 more on ‘special teams’. And a few spares. So – Read More-
It’s totally amazing. The event of a lifetime. The most ‘must see’ event for 500 years!! Pope Leo (little bald geezer, white dress, big hat) and King Charles (little grey geezer, dark suit, crown) are praying together!! At the same time! Like… together!!! For the first time in 500 years, an English monarch and a – Read More-
According to heroin addicts, one of the few addictions I’ve managed to avoid, the first time you ‘use’ gives you such an amazing ‘high’ that the rest of your ‘career’ is spent trying to relive that. And, obviously, failing. Tragically. Chocolate’s the same. An addiction I know plenty about. When I was 10 months old – Read More-
Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir comes out today. I read it. Ok, I can’t read it, its not available here. Not sure I want to anyway. I like reading happy books. Like Stephen King. Slow Horses. Not the memoirs of a dead bird famous for shaggin’ a Prince. But in fact, its much more than that. – Read More-
