So you’re walking along, all cazule like, say, Fleet Street, at about midnight. You’re in a ‘lockdown’ so shouldn’t really be out, but you’re so pissed/stoned/insane/unbalanced that you’re barely aware of any of that shit. And suddenly, you get the urge to acquire a new pair of RayBans. Even though its the dark of night. – Read More-
There’s a view of coronavirus that ain’t nice, ain’t pleasant but is definitely valid. That it is culling the weak, the infirm, the aged, the sick, from the world.

Carlsberg don’t make really annoying things. But if they did they’d make a leaf-blower.

As 57 gardeners stand there with their hands on – Read More-

So the festival of Passover means that we have to tell ‘the story’. And because its a Jewish story it goes on and on. – Read More-
So because of Coronavirus, the tv companies are making a bit more effort. They won’t make up for football, can’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t, mustn’t, but they can up their game a bit as their viewing market just multiplied itself by thousands at the government’s behest. And so, just a few days after Witness came on, there – Read More-
This morning, or this evening, depending on your perspective, I was talking to Bulawayo Johnno, who lives in Sydney, if that’s not too confusing. He got thrown out of ‘Rhodesia’ and came here where, we were lucky enough to get him on the last convict ship bound for Bottany Bay. Anyway, he was in pre-bedtime – Read More-
Of the fundamental cause, accounts may slightly vary Man bites bat or bat bites man, either way its pretty scary. In a market selling food to the poor; scorpion, bat and dog, Millipede, cat, locust, beetle, hamster, slug and frog. People so poor they can’t afford a tin of spam Thus is life on the – Read More-
Ok, I haven’t watched one movie since this insanity started. Try to avoid watching things on tv because that’s how you die. Internally if not externally. Binge-watching 17 hours of Songs of Praise, just ain’t my thing.
