Hitler did for nationalism what Harvey Wienstein did for the casting couch. He went so far that the back-lash took decades to recover from. If it ever did. Maybe its just me but my hackles always rise when I see groups of nationalists, on the news, inevitably dressed in balaclavas and holding flags and flares, – Read More-
So there I was, sitting by the pool, gorgeous sunny day (but ain’t they all) in Southern California, just chillin’ with me posse, when out of her flat (ground floor, fortunately for her) stepped Bonnie, Philip’s girlfriend. And next to her, clad in a gold bikini, was 6 feet of blonde. Not a blond with – Read More-
A man came up to me 27 years ago, threw his arms round me and kissed me!! Ok, it was my dad, but that’s really not the point here. The point really is that you were not only abused or harassed, but that it happened so long ago that no-one can remember where they were – Read More-
Do you know what ‘F’ means? Not as in ‘f-all’ or ‘f-off’, bust just a single, solitary F. Its the Facebook sign. When you sign in, that’s the first thing you see. F. And it controls lives.

Driverless cars are here. Ok, most round my way are just kind’a ‘parked’, so they’re allowed to be driverless. But I’m talking about proper cars that don’t require a driver whilst moving, they do it themselves. With a little bit of software and a few sensors. And the winner in this race, possibly the most – Read More-

And yet moans even more if others aren’t paying their full whack. For doing what we’d all like to – Read More-
Men, feelings, always an issue. Men feeling up others, a particularly big issue in the current climate. But despite protestations to the contrary, men emphatically DO have feelings. Even above the waist, sometimes. Particularly when football is concerned. Then we can display deep feelings. Almost to the point of tears. Yes, men cry. And not – Read More-
I’d rented a flat in Hollywood, right opposite the Chevron I’d been working in. It was an easy commute. Of 20 to 45 seconds, depending on traffic. But long before that I’d realised that if I was to stay in LA I’d need wheels. There are no tube trains, no real trains (only really slow – Read More-
Last week I joked that I’m apparently the only person who (despite really trying hard) has never been sexually assaulted, abused or harassed. This week its no longer a joke. I am the only person. I mean, wtf??? First off we had Kevin Spacey. I mean; Kaiser Sause, for fuck’ sake. (Or was he???) molesting – Read More-
