Ok, so what happens is: I write whatever, I’m in a rush, I don’t read it through, edit, correct, because that’s all pretentious bollocks. But then I read later and sometimes feel I’ve missed something. Like today. And its this: The Spurs fans embracing the ‘yid’ word was perhaps the first manifestation of something quite – Read More-
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (may the Lord bless them, keep them holy and healthy and bestow magical, mystical properties of wonder and awe upon them) have sent out a survey to all of its 150,000 members.

As a football club Manchester United are just about as big as you can get. As successful, glamorous, rich, high profile and international as any team in the world. I’ve travelled to lots of seriously far-flung places and seen locals, not tourists, wearing the red shirt. Blind adherence to a fairly meaningless, far-distant concept embodied – Read More-
What’s French for ‘baguette’? I don’t know neither. Not that good at languages. Only Inglish. Fucking great at that I is. The rest? Don’t care. Don’t need ‘em.

How will she cope? Whoever she is, and all like her, she has our heartfelt sympathy and, where possible, support. And then there’s the – Read More-
I feel that my somewhat irrational fear of going on a sea cruise may be justified by recent events in Norway. In the Fjiords which was the precise location of the trip, but ‘in the bar’ was where most of the travellers spent their days. And nights. And anytime in between. We love to travel. – Read More-
