What’s the worst thing you can possibly do? Not murder, too obvious and too understandable in the current climate. Train as a ‘hands on healer’? Turn Jihadi? Because although you know nothing about religion or politics, you think you look dead cool in a kefiyah? Become an Arsenal fan? No. The worst thing you can – Read More-
I’m worried about Kim Jong-Un. He’s been ‘absent’. Unseen since April 11th and that concerns me. He didn’t come for dinner last night, missed out on our Zoom drinks date on Saturday and sales of Marlborough Reds have declined in North Korea over the past month. All of which is deeply disturbing. His absences are – Read More-
You see, all those boffins and doctors and biochemists and clever people were never likely to be the solution to this world-wide pandemic crisis. You need someone who can think ‘outside the box’. You need something a little more intuitive, a touch of ‘top down’ reasoning, you just need someone who can look at the – Read More-
Well thanks to Dom for pointing out that I hadn’t listed every brilliant film ever and possibly forgot a few. It isn’t that I have a list next to my bed and add to it every few weeks/months/years. It was just a list that sprung to mind as my fingers typed. So I forgot some. – Read More-

I just had an innovative invitation to my mate Sizzi’s birthday ‘party’. We’re going to hook up on Zoom and watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail for his 60th celebrations. Then we’re all going to get really pissed (alone) and smash up the bathrooms (our own) in a celebration of 70s culture. I’ve got – Read More-
Joey’s working from home too. And has cleared his in-tray. Because he’s very productive and very busy. And is now brain-storming. Or weeing. Either takes serious concentration. The latter sometimes more. And working at home I dare say can be very productive. If you sit at a computer for 5 hours and… and… and do – Read More-
I love America. I guess (horrible Americanism) I always have. I fell in love with Westerns as a kid, then always wanted the ‘GI Joe’ over the British Action Man, drooled over adverts for ‘chupa chops’ in DC comics, even though I had no idea what they were and with hindsight, if they were as – Read More-
Some people (you know who you are!!!) don’t eat bread. They find it too… bread-like, too… carby, too… just too… something. These people are silly. Bread is wonderful, bread is delightful, bread is the best. And don’t get me started on what you can put in/on/around/between it. Yet there’s bread and there’s bread. Paul Hollywood – Read More-
