I try always to be non-judgmental. Even handed. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Don’t judge books by covers. Or dipsticks by their socks & sandals combo. Even when I meet people who look like total, less-than-zero losers, (you know who you are), I try and find positives in them. Because you never know. – Read More-
The city of Paris is awash with the glory and prestige of reaching tonight’s European Champions’ League final. They daubed the Eiffel Tower in PSG (that’s Paris St Germain, their football team) colours and made the biggest fuss ever about reaching the world’s most prestigious football match, for the very first time. (When Spurs reached – Read More-
There was a supermodel once called Elle McPherson. Known as ‘The Body’. Even though her body was about 6 feet tall and six inches at its widest point. Or ‘points’, maybe. I saw her once. We stopped to buy water (I was with Mel, on holiday, its what you do) at a shopping mall in – Read More-
America is voting for a new President this year. It’s in the constitution and therefore can’t be changed. Like gun laws, or total lack of them, it is enshrined.

It’s now a scientific fact that Covid 19 makes you stupid. Even if you haven’t actually had it and test negative now. It’s the mere presence of the virus in the atmosphere that increases how thick and less intelligent people are, regardless of insufficient levels to infect.

Nothing’s as sustainable as it used to be. Not the planet, not the oceans, not the furlough scheme, not really the economy and certainly not football. And as football is much more important than all the rest, we should look at that first. We’ll come to cod fishing… next week. Because there’s a new ‘model’ – Read More-
I wish to pay homage to Mr Sadiq Kahn, the esteemed mayor of London. I wish to praise him, I wish to list his accomplishments and commend his character. I’d like to extol his virtues and proclaim his wonderfulness during his time in Mayoral office. But I can’t. Because he’s a tosser way beyond normal – Read More-
The most brilliant news ever. The Coronavirus death total in England has changed from 46,000 to just 41,000!!! I mean… I mean… I mean… this government has just saved 5,000 people!!! Jesus Christ himself didn’t save that many. (Ok, if you count the ‘re-borns’ in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and re-define ‘saved’, then maybe). Where are – Read More-
The City of Beirut exploded last week in a stupid, ignorant, neglectful and appalling accident. Where a small fire in the port met 2,750 fucking tonnes of ammonium nitrate. One of the most unstable and explosive compounds around. Lucky they keep it right in the middle of town, makes sense. So this chemical had been – Read More-
