wazer sharp…

Are you a wazer? Oh, you’re not, don’t know what it is, haven’t heard… Then I don’t know upon which planet you reside. If you’ve even taken an Uber, anywhere, you’ve been a kind of wazer-by-proxi because Waze is the navigation system used by Uber. And by me. Because its live and interactive and asks – Read More-

korea change…

So Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron fall in love and refuse to be physically separated ever again, “je t’aime, Don-ald”, “lovin’ you too, Manu”, (hugs, kisses, tongues, holding hands, stroking thighs…) where’s the fucking sick-bag??? Then follows the inevitable cheap, far-eastern rip-off copy as Kim Jong-un and Moon Jae-in get overly pally on the north/south – Read More-

Hfuhruhurr…

In a move that will be very popular with vegetarians and will positively thrill the vegan fraternity no end, scientists in America have ‘re-animated’ the brains from beheaded pigs. Ok, before the anti-vivisectionists jump in, though most will probably fit snugly into one of the above groups of generally tree-huggy types anyway, these were heads – Read More-

actions, words…

This is (probably) positively (maybe), definitely (ish), my absolute (relatively) last (or thereabouts) post about anti-semitism in the Labour party. Not because its stopped with a massive bang as their esteemed leader banished it unambiguously from their midst, but because he hasn’t. And therefore it goes on and on and I don’t like repetition. I – Read More-

canadia…

Its funny. I never think about Canada even though its fucking humungously massive and large. It just kind of sits there, right above Trumpsville, minding its own business and being… well… being Canadian. Its a nice place, a sweet place, clean, affluent, pretty and freezing cold for 11.5 months a year. I keep me mate – Read More-

shopping trip…

I’ve just been shopping. I love shopping. Though that depends on how you define it. The shopping I love and just enjoyed was done at the Amazon shop in my own kitchen. I needed tennis balls… sorted, new tennis shoes… done and dusted. Be here tomorrow. And I only really have time for that because – Read More-

dead dog…

If you bought a wonderful, state-of-the-art car 22 years ago, it would have been a revelation. Then, 5 years later you’d notice that other people’s cars suddenly had different bits. More computerised, less mechanical, more sophisticated. After 10 years it would be decidedly ‘old hat’ but still lovely and doubtless wonderful. Give it another 5 – Read More-

pregnant camel…

Yesterday was the hottest April day EVERRRR. Well, since 1949. So long ago that anyone who was actually alive then doesn’t have the memory to remember yesterday, let alone 69 years ago. So for all intents and purposes, yesterday is the new record day. And hot it was. Today’s gonna be hot too. And Saturday – Read More-

finalised…

Spurs are playing Manchester United on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final. The cup we care about… sometimes, don’t care about… often, but that becomes a really big thing when you reach the later stages and there’s a chance you might win it. Like every other domestic cup in Europe, it has been seriously ‘downgraded’ – Read More-

plastic world…

In the ‘dark old days’, if you wanted some butter, you took your glass, or pottery or earthenware dish to the shop or the dairy and they stuck half-a-pound of their finest in it and you went home. That wasn’t called ‘recycling’ back then, it was just called ‘shopping’. Similarly you either took your jug – Read More-
