Cars don’t break down any more. People do, but cars, over the last 40 years, have become so much more reliable and dependable. There was a time when you wouldn’t leave home on a road trip without AA cover, a pair of tights (in case the fanbelt ‘went’, which they often did), a large vessel – Read More-
Ahhhh, Jezza. They keep diggin’ and they keep striking gold in them thar hills of old news releases. Where were you in 2014, Jezza? I was at home watching Arsenal, I remember it distinctly. We beat… errr… we beat Shrewsbury 7-2 in the league… CUP!… But we have photos of you in Tunisia laying wreaths – Read More-
Its over. The football season. The beginning of the football season is over. First matches all been played. Are the results in any way ‘representative’ of what’s to follow? Do they offer any viable predictive value for the 37 following matches? Or are we in that grey area where the players are still ‘on holiday’ – Read More-

She beat up a little boy who stole her Lego; she used the Ben Stokes ‘self defence’ plea but to no avail. Ok, she had a temperature. A hot one. That’s the real reason. And she’s been – Read More-
I would not choose to ban Boris Johnson. Even though he looks like a fat pink pig wearing a cheap blonde wig. Or a blow-up sex doll that’s been almost catastrophically over-inflated.(Denmark has banned him.) Ahhhhh, Boris Johnson. What do we do about Boris? However far he falls he just keeps grabbing the headlines, for – Read More-

And much as you ‘can choose your friends but not your family’, so you can’t either choose who the greatest player of a generation, who is probably the only man in England who can – Read More-
There was an old gun in the ‘wild west’ that was called a ‘Peacemaker’. In America that’s not an ironic name. That’s how they see peace coming about. By shooting all the un-peaceful people. You want peace; buy a gun. They still think like that. And I think that’s Trump’s model for his role as – Read More-
