The City of Venice is beautiful. So Italians always tell you. And I get it; all that water, all those fab bridges, gorgeous canals and spectacular old buildings dating back to 810 since it was the ‘Republic of Venice’ and it ruled the Adriatic as well as lots of other places too. I don’t know – Read More-
What a fab weekend. How can it not be when the sun shines for 26 hours a day? But it’s what you do with those days which make them special. On Saturday we had an event. It’s called an ‘aufruf’ and involves synagogue, prayers, slaying of the third born, ritual sacrifice and drinking blood. Usual – Read More-
What the fuck is our government taking with its tea? What is the drug which makes seemingly (or hopefully) sensible, slightly knowledgable people, take massive world problems and think that some kind of facile ‘just world theory’ can be used to solve ALLLLLLL the problems.

Anyway, my husband pitched up with our – Read More-
There are numerous eateries in our country which are ‘banning’ Coca Cola. Because of its ‘ties to Isreal’. Which I think means an Israeli once drunk it. Probably Diet Coke. It’s very popular over there. Maybe that’s what causes the insanity in the IDF to commit all the atrocities they’re accused of. I’ve seen what – Read More-

I’d just like to say that, just like you, Mr, Mrs, Ms, They, Whatever, Football Fan, I have about the same degree of interest in ‘pre-season friendly’ matches that I do about Women’s football. And yet, just look how that one turned out after last Sunday!!! Now I’m an honorary Lioness (I’ve no idea what – Read More-
I am going to officially recognise the official state, officially known henceforth as Conwayland. I will lay down precise demarcation of this area, as agreed with my wife and both grandchildren (who have been promised princely titles and Lego sets).
