warning…

Warning: food that’s really easy and tasty is gonna kill you. They’ve found the missing link. Possibly. Because they still say that eating ultra-processed foods MAY increase cancer risk. Crossing a road MAY increase the likelihood of getting run over. There again, it may not. Three-headed monsters, 9 feet tall who eat live babies and – Read More-

fucking awesome…

I like to read. I read books, I read newspapers, I read magazines, but only if they come with newspapers, and I read stuff online. But my favourite ‘read’ is after Spurs win. Or even if they don’t ‘win’ in any normally accepted meaning of ‘winning’ but it feels like they did anyway. And I’ve – Read More-

aid and abet…

All men are not, contrary to popular belief and certain t-shirts, rapists. Some are very nice. But at times it does kind’a feel like its part of the male condition to ‘lead with yer nob’ and ask questions later, taking advantage of any and every person, sexually, that you can possibly entice, bribe, coerce, blackmail – Read More-

wintery…

The Winter Olympics have begun. In Pyeongchang, South Korea. Not Pyongyang, that’s in North Korea. Who used to be ‘the enemy’ but now are best mates with their neighbours to the south, even sharing sports teams in a joint-Korea friendliness.

begins at home…

Must have been about 30 years ago. I took a call at work asking me to sponsor something for sick kids or contribute for ailing single-parents or donate to malnourished Africans or something. And I agreed. Sounded good. The charity had a good sounding name and this was not an uncommon occurrence. They said they’d – Read More-

lila-daze…

The problem with Lila days is that on occasion I have to go to work. Which is very disruptive for Lila because it is undoubtedly her favourite day of the week. When she gets chocolate. Lolipops. Frosties. Hot dogs. And I let her drive the car. Well, ya gotta learn sometime. (Her mum actually tests – Read More-

un-news…

When is the news not the news? Either when its fake news or when its no news. Or both. So Donald Trump tweets ‘look at England; their Universal Medical… thing (he almost said it like that, really) is broke and not working’. So we must assume that his use of the word ‘broke’ is not – Read More-

life as we know it…

There’s lots of important stuff going on. I suppose there always is. But they’re talking of replacing our Prime Minister! If they could get a pair of leopard-skin shoes on a lamp-post that would be fair. But they’re talking about replacing her with Boris, and Michael Gove, AND Jacob Rees-Mogg. Three for one.

nice one…

Cyrille Regis died a few weeks ago. Which was a shame. Only 58 and a genuine superstar footballer. Played (mainly) for West Bromwich Albion so he was never likely to achieve much fame and notoriety that way, but he had two things going for him which assured he would forever command a place English football. – Read More-
