Boris and his (latest) bird had a barney. A big one. So ‘big’ that a neighbour called the police. Though not before pressing ‘record’ on his phone and sending it to the Guardian. There’s no law against having a row with your partner. Apparently other people do it at times too. Even to the point – Read More-
We’ve all heard about ‘tactical voting’. So you vote in an election for party you don’t want just to prevent a party you hate even more winning the seat. We’ve all done that. Personally, I’d vote for the Ayatollah tomorrow if it meant Corbyn would never achieve power. Though, and this is kind of important, – Read More-
Abdullah Patel was one of those lucky selected few who enjoyed about 2 of their allotted 15 minutes of fame to ask a question to the Tory leadership hopefuls on Tuesday night, ‘live’ on the BBC. His question to Boris was, essentially, about the power of words to cause hurt and enduring consequences. He was – Read More-
It’s all a load of rubbish. Waste disposal, iss’all rubbish! Which its always been. But the collection of our waste was never a stressful thing. It was just ‘a thing that happened’. Every week. Rubbish bins out, bunch’a dudes come along, sling them over their shoulders, tip ‘em into a truck, bish, bosh, job done, – Read More-
There was a big crowd gathered in Embankment Gardens as I limberly (after my physio) ambled to work. Big crowd. Saw a few big furry microphone things, cameras and a lot of milling. And there, in the midst of all this, was the little black-n-white character that is our mayor of London. Sadiq Kahn. Black – Read More-
So where was the elephant? Last night? On Channel 4 when they had the ‘next prime minister’ debate, where was the great lumbering cuddly blonde elephant? There was a pedestal, empty. It had a photo of Boris upon it. But no show from (probably) the next PM of our fine nation. But he’ll only be – Read More-
Its my birthday today. June 16th. Same as last year. Thanks for the (fucking) card!! And its the day after our wedding anniversary (so I’d ‘never forget’ even though I did and only bought the card half way through yesterday) and its also father’s day. Which personally, you can keep. If you need Hallmark to – Read More-
Jo Brand caused a shit-storm this week and was one, little, pathetic, nanny-stated, overly-concerned, politically-correct moment away from police prosecution. For a joke. The comedienne (if you can still call them that, because there’s been no such thing as an ‘actress’ since 1974) said, on a radio show called ‘Heresy’ (ffs; in case anyone thought – Read More-
So the Conservatives had their first round of leadership voting yesterday and immediately got rid of all the women. And some other geezer who no-one remembers, less voted for and was only there to avoid accusations of sexism after the first cut. Maybe politics is no place for a woman (nothing controversial in that sentence) – Read More-
I’m thinking about my health. As I went to a funeral yesterday and that’s what you do. And I’m so relieved. Because yesterday in the paper they said that playing tennis increases your lifespan by 9 years. Holy shit. If I played more tennis I could never die!!! Because surely if you start playing at, – Read More-
