Through a blue-and-white lens…

I’d like to discuss the ‘world of football’. I’m not actually talking about the leagues, the non-league teams, the Bundesliga, La Liga, Le Liga or any other fucking Liga, nor international football, World Cups, nothing like that. I want to ‘refine the search’. I want to ‘focus in’. Because my poor, tragically abused Spurs mind – Read More-

Tragedy and Justice…

We will all share in the mourning of poor Ernie Dosio. Even though we never heard of him whilst he was alive for 75 years. Lots of animals had heard of him. Though they probably never heard the shot of the bullet that killed them from Ernie’s rifle, as bullets travel faster than sound and – Read More-

both ends burning…

There’s a lot of issues about the Iran war. I mean, petrol went up, FFS, and no-one wants that. We’re strapped for oil, inflation’s rising and there seems no possibility to a ‘meaningful’ end to the war. Ok, Trump ‘extended’ the ceasefire at the 11th hour, as he fairly consistently does. As would any sensible – Read More-

Power up…

We listen to the news, we hear about the ‘energy crisis’, yet we pooh-pooh the very concept of ‘renewable energy’ as something we’ll consider when we need it, we burn oil and gas for all we’re worth and we laugh when we hear of countries having programmed power cuts to conserve power. Basically; we just – Read More-

Poetic injustice…

One resorts to poetry when mere words strung together won’t suffice, In matters of love and sorrow, broken hearts and departures from this life. Like Country and Western, with dead dogs excluded, but without the silly hats, and obviously no line-dancing to make them look like twats, Outpourings of a devastated soul and shattered dreams – Read More-

likely candidate…

Ok, we’ve got a great candidate here for a really top job. You need someone with a proven track record, oodles of charisma and no skeletons in the closet. Well, with this guy, nothing’s in the closet, he came out years ago. But he has everything we need to be Britain’s top overseas representative. A – Read More-

Red alert…

Red-heads are taking over. It’s not a quick thing, it moves at glacial time, but ginger hair is increasing in frequency. I know how relieved everyone feels knowing that. Which is why a Harvard study spent umpteen fucking years and countless billions of dollars (not mine, fortunately; I’m neither a benefactor of Harvard nor a – Read More-

worrying…

Yesterday, Lord Robertson, the former head of Nato, made a speech. He spoke in Scottish. But in any fucking language, the message was the same. We’re fucked. Britannia no longer rules the waves. With current government, it barely rules itself. And ‘ruling the waves’ would not protect us from missiles and bombs anyway. We’d be – Read More-

truth anti-social…

There’s a terrible man; really horrible little man, probably the worst man in the world. He runs a country, he’s a terrible dictator in his little country, has total control. There’s no democracy, he rules everybody, pushes them around. Its an awful place, really awful. Terrible. They exclude women from most of the life there, – Read More-

doomsday…

My life is ruined. My head is awash with doom, gloom and has no room for stupid alliterations, or anything else. I don’t care that Donald Trump is going to blockade the Straits of Hormuz to prevent Iran from blockading the Straits of Hormuz. I have no interest in Viktor Orban being deposed after 16 – Read More-
