Have I told you how much I can’t stand New, New Labour? Did I mention that at all? Comrade Corbyn and his merry band of Trotskyites, bullies, misogynists, Stalinists, scumbags and anti-semites? Then let me make mention now. I FUCKING HATE THE LOT OF THEM. Now I’m feeling better. Not content with spreading their hate-filled – Read More-
Went to see the movie Mollie’s Game the other night. What a great story. Taken from the eponymous book, the ‘true’ story (ya never know how much is embellished with a flurry of ‘artistic license’) of Mollie Bloom, an ex-olympic skier who ended up running massive, high-stakes poker games in LA and New York. An – Read More-
Its not enough to win. Not at football. That’s why God invented adverbs. So you can win brilliantly, win convincingly, even win ugly-ly. The three points are still the same, still feel great, but when you win against (allegedly) top-flight opposition, you want to win well. And its still not enough. Because you then want – Read More-
Look, I know its not ‘up there’ with the North Korean nuclear threat, with increasing levels of knife crime, with Arsenal losing at Swansea, with child abuse, but it made the front page of the Times today, so it must be a. really important, and b. totally true beyond question. The uglier you are the – Read More-
I am carless. I have no car. For probably the first time since I was 16 and 7/8ths and bought my first Mini which I couldn’t drive so just kept cleaning it until the glorious day of my 17th birthday. Ok, I drove it a bit, but not very far and quite modestly so as – Read More-
We have but one ‘proper’ computer at home these days. We used to have loads. At one time, when the girls were allowed to live here, it looked like NASA control in the playroom. But now we have one. Because most of what we do is on ipads. Like writing this shit. Just the way – Read More-
Ok, a draw at Newport County was not, perhaps, the ideal result. Against a team about 90 places lower that our current position. But heh, shit happens, no excuses, at the end’a the day, game’a two halves, when push comes to shove, we woz robbed, video would’a saved us, should have had 9 penalties… pick – Read More-
Its not just cos Rachie’s in Berlin that I’m currently fond of German words. There’s a reason. Always a fucking reason. The President’s club (agaiaiain???) ‘incident’ of 2018, wouldn’t have been an incident in 1918, or 1968 or probably in 1999. But its a different world now. Generally for the better but as always, the – Read More-
If you attend a party and someone gets stabbed, are you guilty? If, obvs, you didn’t actually do the stabbing? Some kind of ‘guilt by association’ perhaps? Or maybe you were in the kitchen when it happened in the garden and knew neither party… at the party. Thus, is Jonathan Mendelsohn ‘guilty’ of crimes for – Read More-
Its the second week of Liladays. And… Lila’s here. Asleep for now, as per instruction 1472.87A/9726:e71. And I’m glad, because otherwise she might have read in the paper about the terrible scandal of the Presidents Club annual charidee dinner at the Dorchester, no less. Which raised a quite amazing (until you read who was there) – Read More-
