Sometimes football is the greatest thing ever invented, (that’d be when we win then), other than perhaps the wheel, V8 engines, Cadburys and… oh yeah, and women. And sometimes it feels like shit and you really wish you were like the 24% of the country who just say ‘oh, who played last night then? Did – Read More-
First you need to understand the concept of the nation of Turkey getting royally and very understandably pissed off about the killing of a journalist in their fine land. Ok, anyone gets pissed off about any foreign nation coming into their home to commit state-sanctioned murder. But Erdogan stressing that Khashoggi was a representative of – Read More-
There are so many cases going on involving detachment from reality. The first is the Khashoggi ‘incident’ in Turkey. First the Saudis said ‘no, he’s just missing’, which changed to ‘there was a fight’, later morphing into ‘he is dead’, which eventually ended up as ‘he was murdered!’ No shit, Shylock. Then they added: ‘but – Read More-
I cycle to the station every day. Long as its not raining. Its not far, maybe half a mile, but its far enough to save time and be much more enjoyable than the walk. Though in winter it takes longer getting home. Do up jacket, put on scarf, hat, gloves, hi-vis vest, lights, remove front – Read More-
The good thing is that Meghan Markle, aka The Dutchess of somewhere or other, is pregnant. Nothing to do with me. Sadly. But a new royal is currently being growed. The bad news is not that her dad wasn’t told but that the Mail on Sunday deemed as ‘front page worthy’ that ‘he heard about – Read More-
There’s no taxes in Saudi Arabia. Whereas death… Well, there’s death everywhere, obviously. People die. In Yemen in fact, lots of people die, innocent children whose school buses are targeted by the ‘government’ troops. Which in fact are not of the Yemeni government but their next-door neighbours’, Saudi Arabia’s government. What’s even better is that – Read More-
I’ll be so pleased when we leave Europe. I know, I’m a ‘remoaner’ and anti-Brexit and feel, like all such holier-than-thous that the 51% of my compatriots who voted ‘leave’ did so because they are an ignorant rabble of racists, Europhobes, sub-educated dick-heads, gullible nob-ends, the Boris-believing-brainless and me mate Wayne. And my dad. But – Read More-
They’re clever, those football people. Every year they run loads of international ‘friendly’ matches, meaningless events with unlimited substitutions in which great players get hurt, the games are awful because they’re trying out ‘new systems’ every 20 minutes and no-one really gives a shit who wins or, in my case, who is playing. So they – Read More-
Ok, you can go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, but they call that ‘the Haj’, or you can do one to Rome, and if you’re a Roman Catholic priest you can even do a pilgrimage to Chang Mai (cryptic and cruel in just one little suggestion). Druids have pilgrimages to Stonehenge. Rockers go to Graceland, – Read More-
Ok, I miss Lila. I would. She’s special. And I would be missing the football, but its internationals and I really don’t care about them one little jot. Although if I’d have known Israel were playing Scotland on Thursday I might have been tempted to go to Haifa and watch. It’s only an hour away. – Read More-
